Biefeld-Brown Effect...How long has this been around?

[Swole]

Biefeld-Brown Effect - Is basically a way for object to float using a current of electricity. This is what some people base UFO and Military Technology off of. It can carry weight, and it is silent and supposedly undetectable if used for aircraft purposes. This has probably been around for years, but a normal guy accidentally stumbled across the technology. It's so simple it's sickening.

Heres a few links, you can see the videos on youtube.

You'll probably love this toy: ThinkGeek :: Fly Stick Van de Graaff Levitation Wand

wasnt this busted on Mythbusters in their levitating episode?

 

[Juruense]

Yes, I am familiar with the Biel-Browneye effect, it makes my pants feel tight...

Recently discovered, huh? It's been known since Tesla did his original high-voltage experiments.

It induces a flow of air. As it happens, it is not the most efficient way to make air flow. Far more efficient would be to have an electric motror spin a propellor, for instance. Less acr-prone, that way, too.

Unbdxetectable if used for aircraft purposes? Nope. It radiates like the sun at several wavelengths, even for toys such as these. For a real aircraft carrying any kind of useful payload, it would be the brightest radio-emitting object in the sky.

Correction....Recently made famous and known....its been around but no one knew about it really. And it's still questionable on how exactly it works. So the air flow thing might be wrong. I don't know much about it, but they have one of these things carrying 40 pounds of payload like it's nothing.

Looks interesting. Hopefully some genius people will build upon it.

Wow, ive never seen that either. Cool!

 

[James Snover]

Anyone and everyone in radio and any other area of electronics that deals with high voltage knows all about it. The radio station transmitter guys, especially, as they have all sorts of odd high-voltage induced effects to deal with. Radar, too.

Questionable as to how it works? Nope. Get yourself a used book on high voltage AC & DC and you will understand it, too.

40 pounds? Not a useful payload. That does not even cover the weight of the fuel and generator set an aircraft powered on this principle would weigh, let alone the entire airframe.

It's a neat effect, don't get me wrong. But anyone who claims they invented or rediscovered it does not know what they are talking about; and the same can be said for anyone who seriously reports it as such. Scientific illiteracy is rampant, and some people want some sort of cool alternative so badly they suspend all critical thought the instant they see anything that spits pretty blue sparks.

how do people figure this stuff out? simply amazing

Any time I see any of these threads I immediately scroll to find Jim Snover's posts :beer:

 

[canibus]

on mythbusters they put it in a vaccum and it didn't levitate, that dude grant is a genius.
