SELF-SUSTAINED ELECTROMAGNETIC PROPULSION
|

(or 'How to generate mechanical momentum from enclosed
|
|
electromagnetic energy only'). (Patent Pending).

|
|
|
|
According to Ref.1 and others, it is not possible to create
|
|
mechanical momentum from enclosed electromagnetic energy only :
|
|
'For it is an obvious postulate that in stationary state in which
|
|
matter is at rest and in which there are no waves escaping, there
|
|
can be no electromagnetic momentum'.
|
|
|
|
Still, this should be possible, and simpler than originally
|
|
thought of :
|
|
|
|
Suppose a Helmholtz coils arrangement, i.e. two flat coils,
|
|
separated a distance approximately equal to the radius of a coil.
|
|
|
|
If an alternating current is applied on each coil, an
|
|
electromagnetic field will be generated by each one. So, an
|
|
attraction and repulsion effect will appear at the frequency of
|
|
the applied currents and fields, on each coil, due to the field
|
|
generated by the other coil.
|
|
|
|
Now, the question arises: is it possible that, instead of the
|
|
coils attracting and repelling each other, both will experiment a
|
|
force in the same direction? In other words: if you mount them
|
|
on a cart, will the cart move in one direction ?
|
|
|
|
Apparently it is possible after all, at least theoretically,
|
|
because it is not the current but the FIELD generated by the
|
|
said current that reacts with the other coil, and, since it takes
|
|
a certain amount of time for the field to cross the space between
|
|
the coils, it is just a matter of finding an arrangement that
|
|
will create a unidirectional force condition.
|
|
|
|
Is there such a force condition ? Yes, and it is very simple :
|
|
|
|
If, (a) the frequency is sufficiently high so that the distance
|
|
'D' between the coils will be a quarter of a wavelength, (b) both
|
|
fields are of the same frequency, and (c) are in phase when they
|
|
meet at one coil (they will be in opposite phase when they reach
|
|
the second coil), then, a force will appear alternating on each
|
|
coil but this force will always point in the same direction,
|
|
since, one of the coils (the leading one) will always be 'pushed'
|
|
by the field of the lagging one, which in turn will always be
|
|
'pulled' by the leading coil field.
|
|
|
|
For clarity, see the following chart that corresponds to the
|
|
schematic further down :

and so on ...
|
|
|
|
C : speed of the magnetic vector
|
|
|
|
D/C : quarter-wavelength travel time.
|
|
|
|
Now, to avoid electromagnetic radiation the assembly CAN BE
|
|
ENCLOSED. The enclosure will also affect the wavelength and
|
|
force, depending on the particular shape and quality of the
|
|
enclosure. But this also means that the electromagnetic energy is
|
|
not radiated (other than termal losses) and CAN BE RECIRCULATED
|
|
i.e. an 'electromagnetic wheeling' effect.
|
|
|
|
This arrangement is similar to a directional coupler in microwave
|
|
technology, in which the electromagnetic energy propagates in one
|
|
direction only.
|
|
|
|
If the energy can propagate in one direction only in a closed
|
|
waveguide, then both ends of the waveguide can be joined in a
|
|
ring-shape, and consequently angular mechanical momentum can be
|
|
generated at will.
|
|
|
|
Obviously:
|
|
|
|
(a) Any two electromagnetic sources, out-of-phase
|
|
in time and space will give you this effect.
|
|
The force will be maximum when the sources are
|
|
a quarter of a wavelength appart, in space and
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
(b) It can be enclosed in a metal box of any shape,
|
|
something very similar to a resonant cavity,
|
|
which in turn SHOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE.
|
|
|
|
(c) When the fields are in-phase there is no
|
|
resultant force but an increase in
|
|
electromagnetic mass !
|
|
|
|
|
|
As far as the calculations go, here is some preliminary:
|
|
|
|
coil1 coil2
|
|
------------|----------------------|------------------------> x
|
|
x=0 x=c/4f
|
|
|
|
|
|
c = field propagation velocity
|
|
f = field frequency
|
|
|
|
|
|
coil 1 : H1 = I1 sin wt
|
|
|
|
coil 2 : H2 = I2 cos wt
|
|
___
|
|
distance : c/4f = // /2 ; i.e. quarter-wavelength
|
|
|
|
___
|
|
Field H1 at coil 2: H12 = I1 sin (wt - // /2) = I1 (-cos wt)
|
|
|
|
2
|
|
Force at coil 2 F2 = u H12 * H2 = - u I1 I2 cos wt
|
|
|
|
This expression says that coil2 will always feel attracted, or
|
|
pulled by coil 1.
|
|
|
|
___
|
|
Field H2 at coil 1: H21 = - I2 cos(wt - // /2) = -I2 sin wt
|
|
|
|
is negative because it travels in the opposite
|
|
direction.
|
|
|
|
2
|
|
Force at coil 1 : F1 = u H1 * H21 = - u I1 I2 sin wt
|
|
|
|
I.e.: coil1 always feels repelled, or pushed, by coil2.
|
|
|
|
Ergo, a unidirectional force !
|
|
|
|
To concentrate the field and avoid magnetic lines dispersion, a
|
|
core or nucleus of magnetic material can be used to improve the
|
|
force effect. The magnetic material will then slow down the
|
|
propagation of the magnetic field waves, therefore allowing to
|
|
decrease, either the frequency or the distance between coils.
|
|
This core behaves very much like a 'resonant cavity' also.
|
|
|
|
For enclosed electromagnetic fields, the electromagnetic force
|
|
equation in integral form can be used (Ref.2).
|
|
|
|
The magnitude of the forces involved is very small, therefore it
|
|
is difficult to set up an experiment that will demonstrate the
|
|
principle, since very high frequencies and fields are necessary.
|
|
|
|
For two coils mounted on a ferrite antenna core, with a relative
|
|
permeability of 10, separated 6 cm, 28.2 ampturn at 395 MHZ and
|
|
156 ohms/turn are needed to generate 1 Newton ! This is 124 kVA !
|
|
plus losses.
|
|
|
|
But, according to the 'Principle of Equivalence' if it is
|
|
possible to create a force, in space, from enclosed
|
|
electromagnetic energy only, it should be possible to create the
|
|
inverse, i.e. electromagnetic energy from a 'force field'.
|
|
|
|
In a previous work by this author (Ref.3), it was suggested that
|
|
the 'electromagnetic momentum density' was the (missing) link
|
|
between mechanics and electrodynamics. This would suggest in
|
|
turn, that gravitation is nothing else than 'phase waves',
|
|
similar to the ones that develop in microwave guides and resonant
|
|
cavities. But for 'phase waves' to exist, there must be an
|
|
electromagnetic field of that frequency present already.
|
|
|
|
This, in turn, brings back the concept of 'ether', and that all
|
|
mass, and even the whole universe is probably nothing else but a
|
|
gigantic 'resonant cavity'. A very powerful concept.
|
|
|
|
In (4) it is claimed, that an experiment has been set-up that can
|
|
measure absolute velocities, and explains why the Michelson-
|
|
Morley experiment fails to do so. This, in turn, would be
|
|
complementary proof of the above, the existence of an 'ether'.
