Experimental Detection of the Gravitomagnetic London Moment, = Total Silence?,... |
Any information on efforts to confirm this yet?
Is there a site to find any Institutions where the experimental claims are being reproduced?
The have to request funding for this, can that be traced?
Is it normal to have such silence on such a monumental claim?
If proven true this would be equivalent to the mastery of fire and the Invention of the wheel, No?
Why was this research done outside of the U.S.?
Is it possible that U.S. experimental data may have been "classified" out of the normal channels?
Back in the 80’s, how long did it take to get the first responses the Cold Fusion claims?
Was there a similar time period of silence while waiting for confirmation then?
A few tidbits from the ESA paper Mar 23, 2006, Martin Tajmar, Florin Plesescu, Klaus Marhold & Clovis J. de Matos
If confirmed, a
Gravitomagnetic field of measurable magnitude was produced for the first time
in a laboratory environment.
Two of the authors proposed that in addition to the classical London
moment, a gravitational analogue exists.
This gravitomagnetic London moment is equivalent to a frame-dragging or
Lense-Thirring field and is of great interest since gravitational effects of
measurable magnitudes could be produced in a laboratory environment.
Our measurements can be summarized as follows:
- An acceleration field was found to be induced by applying angular
Accelerations to a superconductor. The field produced is directly proportional
to the applied acceleration with a correlation factor higher than 0.96. All
mean values are 3.3 times above the facility noise level.
- The gravitational field is emitted from the superconductor and follows the
laws of field propagation and induction similar to those of electromagnetism
as formulated in linearized general relativity.
- There is a reasonable fit between the field strength observed and predicted
by the ratio of Cooper-pair and bulk density for the tested superconductors
(Niobium, Lead, YBCO and BSCCO).
- No effect could be seen above the superconductor’s critical temperatures
and for YBCO and BSCCO throughout all temperature ranges within the
accuracy of our experimental setup.
- Gravitational peaks were observed when the superconductor passed its
critical temperature while it was rotating. Their sign changed with the
orientation of the angular velocity.
Although the signal-to-noise ratio is still low at 3.3, our findings show
strong evidence that the gravitomagnetic London moment exists as predicted. If
our results are repeated and confirmed, our experiment demonstrates
- For the first time, non-Newtonian gravitational and gravitomagnetic fields of
measurable magnitude were observed in a laboratory environment.
- The existence of the gravitational Faraday law was shown.
- The hypothesis that large gravitomagnetic fields may be responsible for the
Tate Cooper-pair mass anomaly was found to be supported.
The reported results are very different from previous claims in the literature
from Podkletnov claiming gravitational shielding effects above rotating
superconductors.
As we have not observed any change in the vertical
sensors (± 5 µg) above any superconductors during their phase transition and
during rotation, our results even put new limits on any possible shielding effects.
(Effect must be < 0.0005% compared to claims of up to 2% of weight change for
samples above a rotating superconductor).
If our results are confirmed, they would have a profound impact on present
gravitational and coherent matter physics. Although the observed effects are
small, they open up a new window to investigate the consequences of general
relativity and cosmology at low-energies. The results could be used to produce
even larger gravitational fields in laboratories.
We hope to have triggered enough interest to stimulate other groups to
replicate our results in order to consolidate our findings regarding the
experimental existence of the gravitomagnetic London moment and its major
consequences.

The "breakthrough" was submitted to Physics C almost 8 months ago and
still hasn't been published.
