The following is a 'directed' upload that has some interesting observations
regarding gyroscopic precession phenomena for altering 'gravity' flows.  The
term 'hack' is used to refer to the author's viewpoint or analysis.

BERT:  I would refer you to ANTIGRV1 on the KeelyNet, which gives a good
description of the Japanese results.  This article was contributed by a Ron
Barker.  I will copy this note to Ron in hopes  that he is still on the net.

I am working on a description of the Japanese gyro experiment that will
explain why the other researchers failed to duplicate the Japanese result.

Basically, I can show that a failure to account for earth rate precession of
the gyroscope could account for the weight discrepency, but this would assume
the Japanese were lying about the experiment.  The earth rate precession
explanation would contradict the Japanese claims of re-orienting the measuring
equipment east-west and then north-south, each orientation giving repeatable
results.  It also defies the Japanese claim that, when the rotation was
reversed, no effect was seen.

Bert, you had asked what BxV was and I will attempt to explain.  The BxV
represents the vector cross product of the magnetic field vector, B, and the
velocity vector, V.  The force field vector resulting from "crossing" B and V
gives the "push" that powers induction motors.  For my gyroscope hack, I
assumed that the B vector and the V vector were at right angles to each other.

The result for this simplifying case is simply B multiplied by V.  The
Japanese gyro example gives me 18.7 milligrams worth of equivalent
gravitational mass force (weight!). Using the rotational speeds and equivalent
rotor mass radius in the paper,  I obtain the velocity of the rotor at the
mass radius, which I then multiply by the residual B field of the Japanese
rotor.

I get about twice the Japanese measured force (weight reduction), but then my
radius of mass may not be the same as the radius of residual magnetism in the
rotor.  But regardless of radii, what is this BxV force pushing against?  This
business of the factor of two is reminiscent of some work done by a fellow
named Hooper, and a physicist named Puthoff.

It is my hypothesis that the residual magnetic field may not actually be the
primary contributor to the gyro weight reduction.  I think that the residual
field is only a "visible" remnant of the distributed fields deposited in the
spinning silicon-steel rotors when the power is disconnected (and possibly
when applied) but due to their distributed nature, these fields are almost
completely self-cancelling or "bucked".

It is the result of this unique arrangement of "bucked" fields that, when
set in motion, generates a force field which pushes against another, identical
force field.  The motional force field of the "bucked" rotor assembly,
consisting of canceled magnetic fields, but doubled potential fields, pushes
through any known shielding.

The only other known force field that exihibits this trait would be gravity.
Why this would only be the case for one sense of rotation?  I can only hazard
the guess that gravity has a similar rotational sense.  You see, the gyros did
not weigh more when the rotation was reversed, they simply weighed the same!

The researchers who "repeated" the Japanese experiment all had two things in
common:  1) The "help" of the National Institute of Standards Technology
            (NIST, formerly National Bureau of Standards).
         2) Completely ignoring the painstaking measurements of the residual
            magnetic fields left in the rotors by the original Japanese
            researchers.  The Japanese rotors were described as "... brass,
            aluminum, and silicon-steel.", this is in contrast to all but
            Nitschke and Wilmarth at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, who
            went to the trouble to actually obtain a gyroscope with a standard
            induction drive motor.

Unfortunately, their drive motor spun a BRASS ROTOR!  Incredibly, none of the
published researchers duplicated the MAGNETIC Japanese rotors.  The NIST group
was the first on the publication scene with a dry nitrogen spun BRASS ROTOR!

Then came the elegant French paper of Quinn and Picard, who performed a
stunningly accurate measurment of spinning BRASS ROTORS!  Then came the
denouement, of Nitschke and Wilmarth, courtesy of the Department Of
Energy...and a BRASS ROTOR!  It is to be noted that there is civility in the
"official channels" of scientific publication, in that Quinn and Picard
graciously thanked the NIST group for providing them with "...ideas esential
to the design of the rotor...", a BRASS ROTOR of course!

In the original Japanese experiment, a good deal of the paper dealt with the
measurement of the magnetic field environment of the experiment.  The
experiment was successfully repeated in earth's field (.35 Gauss), and in a
magnetically shielded room (.00035 Gauss), courtesy of the Yokogawa Electric
Cooperative.

The rotors were measured in a magnetically shielded container (.0035 Gauss
residual earth field).  The 175.504 gram rotor had .06 Gauss residual
magnetism.  Presumably, the 174.882 gram rotor had a similar residual magnetic
field.

The Japanese then went through double integration of the density of the rotor
materials to come up with an equivalent radius of mass for each of the three
rotors.  Now here the Japanese were deliberately obscure in their description
of the rotor construction.

It is presumed that a concentric ring construction was used, but the double
integration technique could account for a spoke-like design as well.  I would
note that the drawing provided in the paper showed three drive inputs,
therefore I am assuming a three phase induction ring drive, typical of many
gyroscopes.  What is not typical is the use of silicon-steel in the rotor.

A typical gyro uses aluminum in the outermost ring of the rotor to provide a
strong hysteresis current, induced by the stationary field windings.  The
aluminum ring may be backed by a heavy iron mass to provide inertia and stable
gyroscopic action, especially under vibration.  Brass is often used to provide
a mating material that is pressed into the iron mass, providing an easy press
fit mount for the rotor bearings.

In the gyroscopes I have examined, the iron mass is usually laminated plates,
each plate lacquered and pressed together.  This is similar to transformer
construction, where pressed lacquered plates are used to reduce hysteresis
currents being induced.   In the gyroscope case, the efficiency of the outer
aluminum drive rotor would be diminished.  The use of silicon-steel is very
puzzling.  I wish I knew of a motor expert who could help explain possible
applications of this material in a multiphase induction motor.

Regardless of rotor construction, the Japanese experimenters performed a
ritual that was expressly ignored by the NIST and French teams.  The Japanese
spun up the rotor, then disconnected the three phase power.  Measurements were
then made as the rotor spun down.  This was also done by the DOE team of
Nitschke and Wilmarth.

What the Japanese also did that NO ONE ELSE did was to disconnect the power as
the rotor was accelerating, maintain power as the rotor was at a specific rpm,
as well as disconnecting power and weighing on the coast-down.  All conditions
gave similar results.  I will presume that all conditions produced a similar
magnetic or "B" field in the Japanese silicon-steel rotor.

I will put together the hack necessary to show how earth precession could
enter into the gyro weighing experiment.  I think that with some work, that a
decent treatment of the gyro experiment could be had.

More to come... Rick
