A Conversation with Eric Davis - American Antigravity

The papers that get presented as talks at the symposium and published in theproceedings (published by the American Inst. of Physics Press) are all peerreviewedfor quality and efficacy. Our Future Frontiers paper review panels striveto include scientifically sound (credible!) AND cutting-edge non-mainstreamconcepts, while making sure to weed out the pathological crackpot elements thattend to infest the BPP and alternative energies/alternative physics fields.AAG: The Gerstenstein Effect is one STAIF proposal that caught my eye --Gary Stephenson has been suggesting it as one possible explanation for thesegravitational force-beam experiments that we've been hearing about. Anycomments on this effect, and whether it's worth building an experiment to test?Davis: Exactly! And it is for this reason that I support such experimental workon this topic. It has only been possible to implement this kind of experiment inrecent years because technology caught up with the theory, which was originallypublished in the 1960s.AAG: We've talked a bit about Dr. Ning Li in the past -- she sent me an emailin 2003 indicating 11-kilowatts of output effect, and apparently nobody's heardfrom her since then. I haven't been able to make heads or tails of this, but fromwhat I gather she's completely disappeared. Do you think this means she's ontosomething big?Davis: No, not really. It might mean she was unable to measure any effectfrom the device she tested for the Army, and so has been forced to find otherfinancial support to stay in business. The terms of her Army contract were clear,she was to produce a report stating in the positive or negative on theexperimental efficacy of her A/C gravity theory. Hal and I saw her at the May2003 MITRE Corp.'s Int'l HFGW Conference, and she reported in her talk thatthe A/C gravity field at a Cu nucleus arising from the magnetic dipole effect is ~10^-2 milli-gees (which translates to ~ 10^-4 m/s^2 acceleration effect).AAG: What are some of the benefits associated with presenting an idea atSTAIF, and how can people learn more about it?Davis: The purpose of STAIF is to communicate the results of recentengineering and scientific research to all other aerospace, nuclear power andpropulsion workers, to communicate the results of work that is of relevance tothese fields. One can go to the STAIF website and find out more about them.AAG: Time for the Final Question: What are your plans for future research?Davis: Wormholes, warp drives, ZPE power production, generating negativeenergy, laboratory demonstration, alternative physics and cosmology, etc. Myplans, as are those of the staff at IASA, are quite eclectic and theoretically veryrich and very deep.American Antigravity.Com Page 8 of 8
