The problem with quantitative prediction is that in order to make them, you have to have physical answers about materials and such that we just don't have, and can't even nail down to an order magnitude. Some of the loose variables are not this way. We could make an educated guess about the percent...

The precise mathematic modeling of this part of the theory is not complete, but the conceptual portion is and there are no outstanding issues. This is after all, the very first sort of issue that gets checked when one presents theory to peer review, which Woodward did more than 15 years ago. I unde...

He may not be able to make general quantitative predictions, but given certain thrust, he can make thrust predictions altering things like voltage, rotation, etc. GTIThruster, thanks for the reply. I am not sure why you say that he is not able to make quantitative predictions. On the contrary, one ...

I found that, but it doesn't have links to the (old) papers and it doesn't even list the new ones.
Quite unusual for an academic researcher as I said above.

As a side comment, it's surprisingly difficult to keep up with Woodard and co.'s research: no central repository of documents, only posted on forums, etc.. That's in marked contrast with other researchers who post everything they write on arxiv and other sites, even before their papers/reports are f...

I believe you already have the 2004 paper Flux Caps & Origin of inertia_04-20-2004.pdf given to you by Paul March. How about M-E Rotary_2010_Woodward ED.pdf? or Woodward's NEW M-E PZT-Stack in ARC-Lite RESULTS 05-31-2011A.pdf? You can also check out; http://www.scientificexploration.org/talks/29th_...

Ladajo, did you find something interesting in your archive ?

Have you really looked at the theory of how M-E works? It (in theory) postulates the answer to what you are looking for. It is the $64 question. I looked at several papers available - the newest ones are not publicly available yet. Anyway, I would appreciate it if you could point out which paper pr...

Re: Energy conservation violation ?

It is energy from the rest of the universe. But yes, it is possible, and it is not entirely clear that it can't break entropy, which would be worrying. I have not thought about that much. Thanks for the reply. You say it's energy from the rest of the Universe. Has anyone proven that even with the W...

Energy conservation violation ?

After thinking more about the Woodward effect, it seems to me that you can generate energy from nothing using it. Suppose you have a 1kg capacitor whose mass that can be reduced up to 0.5kg using the Woodward effect. The you can do the following: -when its mass is 0.5kg, accelerate the capacitor to ...

Wodward had a constant K.His initial assumptions about this would have made effect large. Now however it is known experimentally to be several OOMs smaller than this. But the constant is still unknown. Which paper are you referring at because in the paper I'm looking at: http://gltrs.grc.nasa.gov/r...

PS - if you go by Woodward's original equations our setup should just about be able to levitate - 1kg-f ~ weight of equipment). But these alas are now known not to be correct. What are the correct equations ? Can someone point me to the web page / paper with the latest (correct) version of the equa...
