Better than Antigravity? Joseph Newman's Electromagnetic Balloon

Note: Some key links for this video below the description.

When visualizing the future of transportation, we often tend to think of the antigravity or maglev conveyances of science fiction which includes hoverboards and hovercars. But the future does not always require the discovery of unknown forces or the development of entirely new technologies. There are other more familiar forms of levitation which might be harnessed for future travel if maximally developed; one being old-fashioned "buoyancy". Airships are having a resurgence and have great potential for advancement with modern technology. Balloon or dirigible airship technology is very versatile in that it can be easily combined with current and future propulsion methods. For instance, dirigible airships could be combined with vertically oriented jets so that it could elevate to a required height more quickly, after which point the jets could be disengaged, enabling the ship to hover quietly with no further energy expenditure. Similar jets mounted on the top of the vehicle could allow for more rapid descent. Dirigibles could also be hybridized with more unconventional forms of lift and thrust such as laser photon pressure thrusters or magneto-dynamic ion thrusters. Further, if we ever do discover practical antigravity in the future, this could be combined with balloon airships as well, at least as long as the gravity fields are not strong enough to interfere with local time or cause other disruptive gravitational disturbances as previously mentioned. A device which could lighten a payload via gravity shielding or repulsive gravity, would require less volume of gas and could therefore result in much smaller and more aerodynamically designed airships. Adding powerful electromagnets to such a ship might theoretically provide enhanced lift and stability by interacting with the geomagnetic field. Combining antigravity and electromagnetism with balloon technology is not an entirely new concept. In the book, John Worrell Keely: Free Energy Pioneer, author Theo Paijmans details a number of novels written in the 1800s with engrossing tales woven around innovative and unconventional forms of aerial vehicles. Some of these vehicles incorporate antigravity forces. In fact, a craft is described which allegedly uses an "antigravity" gas called NB gas. Another craft is filled with a gas whose buoyancy can be greatly enhanced by an electric current. Powerful magnets are mounted on the craft which keeps it stable, enabling it to carry massive weights. This all may sound fanciful, but at least concerning the latter, there has been some work in the real world towards harnessing electromagnetism with the natural buoyancy of gasses; the most notable being Joseph Newman's Electromagnetic Air and Space Vehicle. This was prototype developed by controversial inventor Joseph W. Newman who allegedly demonstrated the device using a helium balloon wrapped with magnet wire and a battery. It is said that the normally heavier-than-air model craft was activated, it rose in the air while simultaneously aligning itself with the Earth's magnetic field. Lift was ascribed to not only ohmic heating of the gas by the surrounding coil, but also attraction of the balloon coil's magnetic field to the geomagnetic field. It was even suggested that there may have been a less well-known interaction between the coil's field and the helium molecules themselves. Perhaps this exciting demonstration along with the colorful stories mentioned in Paijmans' book and others, could inspire a reconsideration of a type of levitation technology which could turn out to be more efficient than any other technology so far developed; being able to lift massive weights to practically any height and to maintain that height with far less energy than current aerial conveyances.

Always informative. You bring great research and info together in a company video. One of my favorite subs. Any comments on floating cities I know little side topic but still interesting. Cloud Nine cities talked about by Buckminster Fuller

Reminds me of Tibanna gas from Star Wars

Magnetic manipulation of ionized plasma gas to be directional

[سامرحسنهاديأحمد]

In the last video you mentioned cold plasma and nitrogen...am I wrong?

[sillybears]

Asked ai, here’s what it said ..
a: Yes, in theory, you can control a buoyant ionized gas, also known as plasma, with a magnetic field. This is based on the principle that charged particles, such as those found in an ionized gas, are influenced by magnetic fields due to the Lorentz force.

When a magnetic field is applied to a plasma, the charged particles within the plasma experience a force that can change their direction of motion. This allows for the manipulation of the plasma's trajectory. Additionally, if the plasma is buoyant, meaning it is less dense than the surrounding medium, it can rise and be directed by the magnetic field, enabling control over its movement.

This concept is utilized in various applications, such as in magnetic confinement fusion devices, where magnetic fields are used to contain and direct plasma for energy generation.

So, in summary, yes, you can theoretically control the direction of a buoyant ionized gas with a magnetic field.

Thought.... Use a very high electrostatic field to repulse a sealed material to inflate a vacuum filled sphere....

Just trying to understand this NB gas. All gases we know of would be much heavier than that. So how do you combine heavier gases and make a lighter one? If we think about it in terms of metals, we know all metals and their weights, making an alloy of 2 differing metals will yield in an average between those two weights based on the ratios of metals used. If a current across these gases is what created such an effect, some gas we know of must do the same thing, perhaps more, then a mixture of both to find the best weight-negating effect. Not sure, sounds interesting and if its proven true, perhaps some mixtures of metals with electricity across them would do the same thing. Temperature is also a key part of this, the light and dark balance often spoken of in alchemical texts could be referencing metals glowing hot and metals that are cold. Now comes in the question of which states of metals matter could be best effected? Lots of ground work to do here. Thanks for the inspiration!

there is this company tomo-systems (tomorrow's motion) which uses the magnetic earth field alligment moment to propell stuff

I don't understand the implication of the video title. What people think of as antigravity is not understood at all. There is no comparison to true antigravity because it's still considered fringe science or too complex
