The Aspeden motor is a real observational effect not pseudo science repeatable and demonstrable ( is also found In GWW cant remember the page..i don't have the book in front of me right now.). for the Aspden exp: Ps. 821, 882,1154,1158 inter alia. It is now on page 429 in the new edition of the book. Here is the excerpt. Aspden Effect (1995) An Adams motor with a magnetized rotor and no electrical power input is started on no load by a drive motor and brought up to operating speed of 3250 rpm, then runs steadily at that speed for two minutes. With a machine rotor of 800 gms, its kinetic energy and that of the drive motor is less than 15 joules, contrasting with the 300 joules needed to spin up from rest. After five minutes or more, the machine is stopped, but can be restarted up to speed in the same or opposite direction with only 30 joules, only 10% of the original effort, provided that the machine is not stopped more than about a minute. This totally violates all known laws of physics. It is ten times easier to spin the magnet once it has already been spinning. (The term for this is hysteresis, a memory of prior physical states). Energy within the magnet seems to continue “spinning” inside even when the magnet is not moving (similar to stirring up a glass of water and then removing the stirring rod, while the glass itself remains still). It will take less energy to stir up the water in the glass again if you wait less than a minute before trying. So it certainly appears that this energy in a magnet is in a form of fluid motion, possibly spiraling in a vortex, like the water example. The experimental evidence is that there is something that is: * spinning, * invisible, * having energy of motion, * occupying the space within the machine rotor. This “something” has an effective mass density 20 times that of the rotor, but spins independently and takes several minutes to decay/wind down, while the motor itself comes to rest in a few seconds. Various machine configurations tested indicated two dependencies: * time of day * compass orientation of the spin axis. One machine with weak magnets showed evidence of gaining magnetic strength with each test, as if permanently absorbing the ether energy. Another separate experiment consisted of a reversible D.C. motor running in a clockwise sense for two or three minutes, drawing from the power supply, but then spontaneously slowing down, stopping, and then reversing rotation and rapidly gaining speed, as if counter-clockwise was the preferred sense of rotation. It was running well clockwise, with no external influence given to change direction. The basic motor used by Aspden consists of a central rotor either all north out, or all south out, and high resistance coils.

If the ether delivers energy to run the motor, eventually that borrowed energy is returned to the ether by generating heat and radiation. 2) Existence of the ether was not disproved by Einstein. Special Relativity only says it is not necessary; General Relativity theory disguises it as “space-time curvature,” while moderns call it “the vacuum.” 3) Ether has been measured in laboratories. The ether was probably first detected by Sagnac in 1908, the experimental source of the modern ring laser gyro. How can the speed of a laser beam traveling a circuit inside an optical instrument detect rotation of that instrument, unless the beam is keeping a fixed speed relative to something inside that instrument that does not share its rotation? That something is the ether! 4) Its existence was not disproved by the Michelson-Morley experiment. Michelson was trying to sense the Earth’s motion through the ether, but violated the Miller condition for minimal ether shielding. 5) The ether reveals its existence when we have rotation, as in the Adams motor. ____________________________________ _[1]_ (aoldb://mail/write/template.htm#_ftnref1) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e8/ Cdmotor2.gif ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
