THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT & NUCLEAR RESONANCE IMAGING
by Rick Andersen
This file consists of a collection of quotations taken from several sources
in an effort to piece together both the theory behind the Philadelphia
Experiment and the method and equipment used to produce it.
My interest in the Philadelphia Experiment is not only in its philosophical
and technological impact on our world, should it happen to be a true story.
As an electronics technician, I also have a keen interest in how they did
it! Here is an electronics -- a physics -- that they sure didn't teach us
in tech school, or even in college! But the rumors persist, and I'm hereby
challenging the writers out there, who keep dropping hints here and there,
to do us all a favor and throw out a good, CONSISTENT, meaty bone for us to
chew on.
People like Al Bielek make a big splash with an "I was there" announcement.
The stories and anecdotes are absolutely spell-binding. The excursions
into speculative Physics are sometimes so deep that the layman would not
even know what questions to ask, much less be able to judge the truth or
validity of the answers. And then you find out that he's still
'remembering' more details, and that his 'remembering' was given a good
shot-in-the-arm by his watching the 1984 movie, "The Philadelphia
Experiment". Ahem....
So, if you're like me, and this thing sounds just plausible enough that you
can't put it out of your mind, you begin to read and read everything you
can get your hands on regarding the subject. Then you begin to read
everything you can on indirectly-related, peripheral subjects, noting any
possible connections to your main area of study. After a while you get a
good feel for the similarities as well as the dissenting points of view as
set forth by the various authors.
And you wonder why everybody else "seems" to be informed about the how and
the why, in great detail, but you.
(I even traveled out to Montauk Point, Long Island, to explore the
abandoned radar base which Bielek connects with both the P.E. and with
"Project Phoenix". I plan to upload a file on that to KeelyNet soon.)
You see, an electronics tech (and much more an Engineer, as Bielek is)
knows damn well that there is a world of difference between DC and AC
fields; between PULSED and ROTATING fields; between ELF and HF or MICROWAVE
or RADAR frequencies; between VECTOR and SCALAR and STANDING WAVE versions
of each. An electronics person knows that, without a DETAILED,
comprehensive THEORY behind the bench set-up, he is not going to know how
to set up voltages and currents, power levels, frequencies, waveforms,
pulse widths or duty cycles. If there's a chance a circuit won't work,
Murphy's Law dictates that it WON'T more often than not. Every electronics
person reading this file knows what I'm talking about.
In the KeelyNet file "Bielek-1.asc", Jerry Decker remarks that "The
literature of the 'Philadelphia Experiment' is replete with descriptions of
the technology." Jerry offers a description:
"Basically, a coil was wound on each half of the ship and driven by
separate oscillators, synced with an adjustable phase angle to create a
'Scalar-type wave'. This distorted the field matrices of matter
encompassed within the field for 'unusual effects'."
Okay then, let's build one. What, no one has yet? This is the impression
I got when I put in some telephone time searching for further info on the
"Resonant Gravity Coil" whose construction plans can be found in the file
"gravity3.asc". The author of the file calls himself "Shadow Hawk". Anyone
want to tell me how I can get in touch with Shadow Hawk? So I can ask him
a question or two before I invest in 7500 feet of #16 magnet wire? (That's
1.42 MILES of wire!)
What I'm saying is, let's not get so mesmerized by the theories and
literary masterpieces and snake-oil salesmen floating around out there that
our interest in "22nd Century" Science becomes solely an armchair pursuit,
or, worse yet, a quasi-religion.
Now that my gripe has been unloaded, I'm ready to hazard a guess or two
here in the hopes that somebody out there who knows something will be
stimulated enough to write a file in response to this one, or adding to it.
My speculation is this:
There is a connection between the supposed technology of the Philadelphia
Experiment and that modern medical imaging technique called NUCLEAR
MAGNETIC RESONANCE. The similarities between the descriptions of the two
become more obvious when you go to the library and look up the subject of
NMR (or MRI, Magnetic Resonance Imaging) in a science encyclopedia. The
description of the technique and theory behind it are similar. The
history of the development of NMR overlaps the P.E. -- both are products of
the 1940's. And, in certain respects the technology for both may well be
an outgrowth of the development of RADAR, which also took place during the
same period and which employs PULSED fields.
In the pages that follow, I have assembled several quotes purporting to
describe the Philadelphia Experiment -- either with regard to its
technology, or some anecdote which might shed some light on the story. Some
of the quotes are not directly related to the P.E. but seem to be related
in concept. Finally, I've added some material on NMR that may prove
interesting, since I'd guess that most people have as little knowledge of
the subject as I did before I found this information. The occasional
references to cyclones and cyclotrons ties in with rotating and/or vortex
fields.
Several quotes from one book are usually grouped together, separated from
other groups by dashed lines.
Although this file is a bit lengthy, I hope it serves to stimulate renewed
attention to the exact technological methods used in the P.E. Even a
small- scale duplication of the effect by an experimenter would tend to
take the story out of the realm of myth, and establish its reality.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alfred Bielek claims to have been one of the two Navy seamen who threw the
switches in the control room of the ship to power the equipment. His
description of the equipment follows:
"There were four RF transmitters and they were phased to produce a rotating
field; they were pulsed at a 10% duty cycle. The magnetic component of the
fields was generated by four large coils set on the deck of the ship, and
they were run by two large generators down in the hold of the ship -- 75
KVAH -- they were also pulsed. The entire system was under a very special
control -- a very peculiar type of control -- that produced a rotating
field effect, which produced the interaction, which caused the time field
to shift." [frequency of pulsations unknown]
"[There are] FIVE DIMENSIONS [to our reality]: Our 3-D, time, and 'T2',
which vector was being rotated in these experiments to give time/space
shifts."
"All of the effects related to this are related to the PI over 2 series of
frequencies, which are all WINDOWS."
"Although those men above deck were made insane, if not 'fried', by the
fields, out of this came an ELECTROMAGNETIC CANCER CURE that the Navy has
'sat' on for forty years and refuses to release to the world because that
would be tantamount to admitting that the Philadelphia Experiment DID
happen."
-- Al Bielek, telephoning in to host Robert D. Barry on the television
program "E.T. Monitor", June 1991. (WGCB, channel 49, Red Lion, PA.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"My own special interest in the Philadelphia Experiment was connected with
the possibility that a shift in the molecular composition of matter,
induced by intensified and resonant magnetism, could cause an object to
vanish -- one possible explanation of some of the disappearances within the
Bermuda Triangle." -- Charles Berlitz, The Philadelphia Experiment., page
14.
"True, enough, such a form of levitation has been accomplished as
described. It is also a very commonly observed reaction of certain metals
to certain fields surrounding a current." -- Carlos Miguel Allende, quoted
in The Phil. Experiment., p. 40.
"This 'Deep Freeze' [of a man in the force field] was not psychological. It
is the result of a Hyper-Field that is set up, within the field of the
body, while the 'Scorch' Field is turned on..." -- C M Allende, p 42.
"The Navy did not know that the men could become invisible WHILE NOT UPON
THE SHIP & UNDER THE FIELD'S INFLUENCE... The Navy did not know that there
would be men die [dying] from odd effects of HYPER 'Field' within or upon
'Field'... Further, they even yet do not know why this happened and are not
even sure that the 'F' within 'F' is the reason, for sure at all." -- C M
Allende, p. 46.
"There was plenty of static electricity associated with it." -- C M
Allende, p.109.
"I actually shoved my hand, up to the elbow, into this unique force field
as that field flowed, surging powerfully in a COUNTERclockwise direction
around the little experimental Navy ship, the DE 173. I felt the...push of
that force field against the solidness of my arm and hand outstretched into
its humming-pushing-propelling flow.
"I watched the air all around the ship... turn slightly, ever so slightly,
darker than all the other air... I saw, after a few minutes, a foggy green
mist arise like a thin cloud. [I think] this must have been a mist of
atomic particles. I watched as thereafter the DE 173 became rapidly
invisible to human eyes. And yet, the precise shape of the keel and
underhull of that... ship REMAINED impressed into the ocean water as it and
my own ship sped along somewhat side by side and close to inboards...
"...in trying to describe the sounds that [the] force field made as it
circled around the DE 173... it began as a humming sound, quickly built
up... to a humming whispering sound, and then increased to a strongly
sizzling buzz -- [like a] rushing torrent...
"The field had a SHEET of pure electricity around it as it flowed. [This]
flow was strong enough to almost knock me completely off balance and had my
entire body been within that field, the flow would of a most absolute
certainty [have] knocked me flat... on my own ship's deck. As it was, my
entire body was NOT within that force field when it reached maximum
strength- density, repeat, DENSITY, and so I was not knocked down but my
arm and hand [were] only pushed backward with the field's flow.
"Why was I not electrocuted the instant my bare hand touched that... sheet
of electricity surrounding the field flow? It must have been because...
[I was wearing] hip-high rubber sailor's boots and sou'wester coat.
"...Naval ONR scientists today do not yet understand what took place that
day. They say the field was 'reversed'. Scientific history, I later came
to realize, was made for the first time that day." -- C M Allende, pp. 110,
111.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The experiment [M.K. Jessup said to Dr. J. Manson Valentine] had been
accomplished by using naval-type magnetic generators, known as degaussers,
which were 'pulsed' at resonant frequencies so as to 'create a tremendous
magnetic field on and around a docked vessel'." -- The Phil. Experiment., p
130.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"According to Jessup the purpose [of the Philadelphia Experiment] was to
test out the effect of a strong magnetic field on a manned surface craft.
This was to be accomplished by means of magnetic generators (degaussers).
Both pulsating and non-pulsating generators were operated..." -- Valentine
as quoted by Berlitz in Without A Trace, p. 194.
"Jessup was worried about the experiments and told Valentine that the Navy
had requested him to be a consultant on yet another experiment but that he
had refused. He was convinced that the Navy, in seeking to create a
magnetic cloud for camouflage purposes in October 1943, had uncovered a
potential that could temporarily, and if strong enough perhaps permanently,
rearrange the molecular structure of people and materials so that they
would pass into another dimension with further implications of predictable
and as yet uncontrolled teleportation." -- Without A Trace, p. 201.
"I do not believe Dr. Jessup considered this an 'inadvertent' discovery.
For many years, so I have been told, experiments involving high intensity
magnetism have been officially discouraged, just as the ion motors, known
for as far back at least as 1918, have been denied public disclosure and
their inventors somehow silenced. I am therefore convinced that top-
ranking physicists must have some knowledge -- and understandable dread --
of phenomena that might be expected to emerge from the generation of a high
intensity magnetic field, especially a pulsating or vortextual one."
QUESTION: "In the case of the alleged Philadelphia Experiment, is there a
fairly simple scientific explanation as to what took place?" ANSWER: "To
my knowledge there is no explanation in terms of the familiar or orthodox.
Many scientists now share the opinion that basic atomic structure is
essentially electric in nature rather than materially particulate. A
vastly complicated interplay of energies is involved. Such a broad concept
lends great flexibility to the universe. If multiple phases of matter
within such a cosmos did NOT exist, it would be most surprising.
"The transition from one phase to another would be equivalent to the
passage from one plane of existence to another -- a sort of
interdimensional metamorphosis. In other words, there could be 'worlds
within worlds'. Magnetism has long been suspect as an involvement agent in
such potentially drastic changes. To begin with, it happens to be the only
inanimate phenomenon for which we have been unable to conceive a
mechanistic analogue. We can visualize electrons traveling along a
conductor and thus 'explain' electric current, or we can envisage energy
waves of different frequencies in the ether and thus 'explain' the heat-
light-radio spectrum. But a magnetic field defies a mechanical
interpretation. There is something almost mystical about it. Furthermore,
whenever we encounter incredible (to us) materialization and
dematerialization, as in UFO phenomena, they seem to be accompanied by
severe magnetic disturbances. It is, therefore, reasonable to suppose that
a purposeful genesis of unusual magnetic conditions could effect a change
of phase in matter, both physical and vital. If so, it would also distort
the time element which is by no means an independent entity, but part-in-
parcel of a particular matter-energy-time dimension such as the one we live
in." -- Valentine to Berlitz, p. 204, 205.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The experiment is very interesting but awfully dangerous. It is too hard
on the people involved. This use of magnetic resonance is tantamount to
temporary obliteration in our dimension but it tends to get out of control.
Actually, it is equivalent to transference of matter into another level or
dimension and could represent a dimensional breakthrough if it were
possible to control it." -- Jessup to Valentine, The Phil. Experiment. ,p
131.
"In practice, it concerns electric and magnetic fields as follows: An
electric field created in a coil induces a magnetic field at right angles
to the first; each of these fields represents one plane of space. But
since there are three planes of space, there must be a third field, perhaps
a gravitational one. By hooking up electromagnetic generators so as to
produce a magnetic pulse, it might be possible to produce this third field
through the principle of resonance." -- Valentine, Phil. Exp. p 132.
"The thrust of [Einstein's attempt to produce a Unified Field Theory] was a
string of sixteen incredibly complex quantities (represented by an advanced
type of mathematical shorthand known as tensor equations), ten combinations
of which represented gravitation and the remaining six electromagnetism...
"One thing that does emerge, interestingly, is the concept that a pure
gravitational field can exist without an electromagnetic field, but a pure
electromagnetic field cannot exist without an accompanying gravitational
field." -- Phil. Experiment, p 150.
"I think I heard they did some testing both along the river [the Delaware]
and off the coast, especially with regard to the effects of a strong
magnetic force field on radar detection apparatus. I can't tell you much
else about it or about what the results were because I don't know. My
guess, and I emphasize GUESS, would be that every kind of receiving
equipment possible was put aboard other vessels and along the shoreline to
check on what would happen on the 'other side' when both radio and low- and
high- frequency radar were projected through the field. Undoubtedly
observations would have also been made as to any effects that field might
have had on light in the visual range. In any event, I do know that there
was a great deal of work being done on total absorption as well as
refraction, and this would certainly seem to tie in with such an experiment
as this." -- comments by anonymous military scientist, The Phil.
Experiment., pp. 169,170.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[comments by the anonymous elderly scientist to Moore in the chapter, The
Unexpected Key, pp. 173 - 205., of The Phil. Experiment.]
"...The idea of producing the necessary electromagnetic field for
experimental purposes by means of the principles of resonance was...
initially suggested by [physicist] Kent... I recall some computations about
this in relation to a model experiment [i.e., an experiment conducted using
scale models rather than real ships] which was in view at the time... It
also seems likely to me that 'foiling radar' was discussed at some later
point in relation to this project..."
"The initial idea seems to have been aimed at using strong electromagnetic
fields to deflect incoming projectiles, especially torpedoes, away from a
ship by means of creating an intense electromagnetic field around that
ship. This was later extended to include a study of the idea of producing
optical invisibility by means of a similar field in the air rather than in
the water..."
"...He had on one part of a sheet a radiation-wave equation, and on the
left side were a series of half-finished scratches. With these he pushed
over a rather detailed report on naval degaussing equipment and poked
fingers at it here and there while I marked with pencil where he pointed.
Then Albrecht said could I see what would be needed to get a bending of
light by, oh, I think 10 percent, and would I try to complete this enough
to make a small table or two concerning it...
"I think that the conversation at this point had turned to the principles
of resonance and how the intense fields which would be required for such an
experiment might be achieved using this principle...
"Somehow, I managed to finish a couple of small tables and a few sentences
of explanation and brought all back as a memo. We went in to Albrecht,
who looked it all over and said, 'You did all this regarding intensities
[of the field] at differing distances from the [ship's] beam, but you don't
seem to pick up anything fore and aft'... All I had was the points of
greatest curvature right off the ship's beam opposite this equipment...
"What Albrecht wanted to do was to find out enough to verify the strength
of the field and the practical probability of bending light sufficiently to
get the desired 'mirage' effect. God knows they had no idea what the final
results would be. If they had, it would have ended there. But, of course,
they didn't.
"I think the prime movers at this point were the NDRC and someone like
Ladenburg or von Neumann who came up with ideas and had no hesitancy in
talking about them before doing any computations at all. They talked with
Einstein about this and Einstein considered it and took it far enough to
figure out the order of magnitude he would need on intensity, and then
spoke to von Neumann about what would be the best outfit to look into it as
a practical possibility. That's how we got involved in it...
"I can also remember a point a little later when I suggested in a meeting
of some sort that an easier way to make a ship vanish was a light air
blanket, and I wondered why such a fairly complicated theoretical affair
was under consideration. Albrecht took off his glasses at that point and
commented that the trouble with having me at a conference was that I was
good at getting them off the topic...
"I do remember being at at least one other conference where this matter was
a topic on the agenda. During this one we were trying to bring out some of
the more obvious -- to us -- side effects that would be created by such an
experiment. Among these would be a 'boiling' of the water, ionization of
the surrounding air, and even a 'Zeemanizing' of the atoms; all of which
would tend to create extremely unsettled conditions. No one at this point
had ever considered the possibility of interdimensional effects or mass
displacement. Scientists generally thought of such things as belonging
more to science fiction than to science in the 1940's. In any event, at
some point during all this, I received a strong putdown from Albrecht, who
broke in with something to the effect that 'Why don't you just leave these
experimental people alone so they can go ahead with their project. That's
what we have them for!'
"One of the problems involved was that the ionization created by the field
tended to cause an uneven refraction of the light. The original concepts
that were brought down to us before the conference were laid out very
nicely and neatly, but both Albrecht and Gleason and I warned that
according to our calculations the result would not be a steady mirage
effect, but rather a 'moving back and forth' displacement caused by certain
inherent tendencies of the AC field which would tend to create a confused
area rather than a complete absence of color. 'Confused' may well have been
an understatement, but it seemed appropriate at the time. Immediately out
beyond this confused area ought to be a shimmering, and far outside ought
to be a static field. At any rate, our warning on this, which ultimately
went to NDRC, was that all this ought to be taken into account and the
whole thing looked at with some care. We also felt that with proper effort
some of these problems could be overcome... and that a resonant frequency
could probably be found that would possibly control the visual apparent
internal oscillation so that the shimmering would be at a much slower
rate... I don't know how far those who were working on this aspect of the
problem ever got with it...
"Another thing I recall strongly is that for a few weeks after the meeting
in Albrecht's office we kept getting requests for tables having to do with
resonant frequencies of light in optical ranges. These were frequently
without explanation attached, but it seems likely that there was some
connection here...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another testimonial, this time by an ex-military guard:
"I was a guard for classified audiovisual material, and in late 1945 I was
in a position, while on duty in Washington, to see part of a film viewed by
a lot of Navy brass, pertaining to an experiment done at sea. I remember
only part of the film, as my security duties did not permit me to sit and
look at it like the others. I didn't know what was going on in the film,
since it was without commentary. I do remember that it concerned three
ships. When they rolled the film, it showed two other ships feeding some
sort of energy into the central ship. I thought it was sound waves, but I
didn't know, since I, naturally, wasn't in on the briefing.
"After a time the central ship, a destroyer, disappeared slowly into a
transparent fog until all that could be seen was an imprint of that ship in
the water. Then, when the field, or whatever it was, was turned off, the
ship reappeared slowly out of thin fog.
"Apparently that was the end of the film, and I overheard some of the men
in the room discussing it. Some thought that the field had been left on
too long and that that had caused the problems that some of the crew
members were having." -- reported to Moore by Patrick Macey, as told to him
by a workmate named "Jim" in the summer of 1977. The Phil. Experiment, pp
240, 241.
"The names of several scientists have come up in connection with the
revival of such a project. Two government-employed scientists named
Charlesworth and Carroll were reportedly responsible for installing the
auxiliary equipment on the DE 173 and participated in the experiment,
noting the neuronal damage 'due to diatheric' effect because of the
magnetic oscillation of the magnetic field'." -- Phil. Experiment p 241.
"Victor Silverman, now living in Pennsylvania and still mindful of wartime
security regulations and afraid of possible consequences, got in touch with
the authors [Berlitz & Moore] through a third party when he first heard
about the publication of a book about the DE-173. He speaks from personal
experience: 'I was on that ship at the time of the experiment.'
"At the outbreak of WWII Silverman enlisted in the Navy. He, along with
about 40 others, was destined to become part of a special secret Naval
experimental project involving a destroyer escort vessel and a process
which he could identify only as 'degaussing'. On board the vessel,
Silverman noted that there was 'enough radar equipment on the ship to fill
a battle- ship' including 'an extra mast' which was 'rigged out like a
Christmas tree' with what appeared to be antenna-like structures.
"At one point during the preparation for the experiment, Silverman
remembers seeing a civilian on board and said to a shipmate: 'That guy
could use a haircut.' To his amazement he later discovered that the man
had been Albert Einstein.
"Silverman was given the rating of Engineer, First Class, and, according to
his account, was one of three seamen who knew where the switches were that
started the operation. He also related that a special series of electrical
cables had been laid from a nearby power house to the ship. When the order
was given and the switches thrown, 'the resulting whine was almost
unbearable.'... -- The Phil. Experiment, pp. 247, 248.
"This informant, who emphatically declined to be named, confided to Berlitz
that he had seen highly classified documents in the Navy files in Washing-
ton, D.C., which indicated that at least some phases of the experiment are
STILL in progress.
"In addition, scientific units in private universities, some possibly
funded by the government, are reported to be pursuing research in magnetic
teleportation, with the attendant invisibility as part of the experiment.
Some recent reports place such experimentation as having taken place at
Stanford University Research Facility at Menlo Park, Palo Alto, California,
and at M.I.T. in Boston. However, in the words of one informant -- M.
Akers, a psychologist in San Jose, California -- such magnetic experiments
'are frowned upon because they have detrimental effects on the researchers
conducting the experiments.'" -- The Phil. Experiment, p.255.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The U.S. Navy experimented with variations of the unifying vector on a
large scale during WWII, in which they succeeded at least in part to make a
ship invisible to radar. Radar is composed of ultra-high frequency waves,
and here enters the problem. In order to make something invisible to
ultra-high waves, you must take it beyond that, and now you are playing
with an idea where time, space, and conventional geometry go right out the
window, liter- ally. The only other way is to create interference vectors
BETWEEN yourself and the outside, a kind of shell as it were.
"The Navy, Einstein and a few others working together tried it the first
way. They subjected the whole ship and crew inside a huge man-made field
effect, then pumped its plane-rotational velocity, and raised the overall
potential to beyond what might be considered the 'normal physics stability'
threshold. Then came the book, followed by the movie, 'The Philadelphia
Experiment'. Yes somebody out there is trying to tell us something, or
make it so absurd that it falls into the entertainment category...
"In the large field effect experiment, generators were set up to produce a
ROTATING MAGNETIC FIELD around the vessel while EXTRA MASTS were set up to
accommodate the VERTICAL GRAVITY AXIS of the field. The had the equipment
and some math to back up what was supposed to happen; however it's
difficult to prepare human minds to get used to the idea of TRANSPOSING
matter from one locale to another...
The reported "freezing" of several of the crewmen...
"is what we should expect when inside a HYPER-FIELD, wherein all would
become coherent or moving in the same direction. You would no longer be a
'man energy unit' aboard a 'vessel energy unit' upon the sea, but rather
the electric fields of both man and vessel would occupy the SAME SPACE at
SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT TIMES upon an almost perfect ground plane of water.
"There is also some evidence to support the [alleged] fact that in one of
the experiments when ship and crew reappeared, some of the crew had merged
bodily within the steel of the ship, just like we find when a tornado has
passed. [See next reference to tornadoes/cyclones]. A rotary-motion field
is the BASIS for particle-to-wave or wave-to-particle experimentation, for
it is the TRANSITION POINT for energy to go either way...
"Matter as a product of energy [Einstein's famous equation E=mc squared].
Substance as a product of waves. Precipitate, gather the waves as in a
funnel. The funnel causes rotary motion. Rotary motion causes a funnel.
The motion creates a tight magnetic band similar to a torus around the apex
of the funnel; the band itself is a spinning toroid which helps to keep
what is gathered. All of this is unseen to the human eye. If
precipitation continues on its course, the magnetic band becomes the
horizontal equator. The vortex funnels become the vertical axis of the
poles, of gravity. A particle is born and the principle is now a unit. Now
we can see it.
"The spin has stabilized and slowed somewhat than at its birth. We can
pump it up again, faster and faster; the particle will begin to radiate.
If we keep this up the particle will 'de-centralize', will die as waves of
heat, light and radio noise. Yes back to waves. This leads me to believe
that the particle is simply a precipitation of wave coherence, that the
wave is what is left after particle decay. They are separate only in their
timeline of existence."
-- John Walker, in Anti-Gravity and the Unified Field, edited by David
Hatcher Childress, Adventures Unlimited Press., pp. 59 - 62.
"There is a book entitled 'Reality Revealed -- The Theory of
Multidimensional Reality' published in 1978 (Vector Associates)...
[The authors, Douglas Vogt and Gary Sultan] "refer to a 'cross talk' effect
where time and space information from one locale are transmitted, via
standing waves of a sort, to another locale where the overlap then
'unfreezes' into so-called normal time and space. Standing waves, they
observe, can act as a high potential transmitter requiring very LOW POWER
to initiate the action...
"The tornado passes and we are left with straw embedded in unshattered
glass, a 2 x 4 piece of pine penetrating 5/8 inch steel, a 15 inch tire
circling the base of a tree whose branches exceed 15 feet, and metal pipe
UNDER the earth is left twisted in the wake of such funnels. Clearly
something other than physical force AS WE KNOW IT manifests itself when
CONDITIONS are met. I quote from 'Reality Revealed':
"We contend that the tornado and the hurricane are examples of a cyclotron
in reverse. [Here the reverse would be a high velocity (motion) creating a
high frequency radio (wave) signal.]
"At certain times of the year when the right temperatures exist, a giant
capacitor is created. The earth is one plate and the upper atmosphere is
the other plate. The earth's magnetic field envelopes these electrostatic
plates. We theorize that when the earth is tilted at just the right angle,
high-energy charged particles are actually able to enter the earth's
magnetic field from space.
"Because of the earth's tilt angle in reference to the direction of the
high velocity particle, the particle is siphoned down to the tornado belts
or hurricane areas. Here the right atmospheric conditions exist to form
the electrostatic plates.
"The high energy particle charges the plates of the capacitor and a damped,
oscillating radio wave is created. High voltage standing waves are also
created.
"The damped, oscillating wave, along with the earth's magnetic field pro-
duces cyclotronic action of the atmosphere. In other words a nature-made
cyclotron is created.
"Because of the high electrical potentials created and the high standing
waves produced, information that makes up the straw is translated (moved)
in time; a translation in time is a translation in space. A translation in
time of a microsecond of information at the speed of light represents a
space translation of about 985 feet. Of course, if the straw just happens
to be moved to the space occupied by a window or steel I-beam, it appears
as if it has been blown through these objects. But what really happened is
that the straw and the I-beam occupied the same space, but at a different
time, when the tornado was present. When the tornado passed by, the time
for the straw and I-beam became one (unfreezes) again. The same thing can
happen to living things."
Walker continues:
"The authors speak of the upper atmosphere and the earth acting as a giant
capacitor in much the same way Tesla referred to it. The idea is not new
but I contend that wherever there exist potential differences, there is a
flow to balance that difference and this flow expresses its swirling
nature. That this expression is the unifying factor between wave and
particle physics. And that duplication and application of the unity factor
leads to gravity control, teleportation, transmutation of elements, and
time travel, to name a few." -- Walker, pp. 52 - 54.

"Tapping the Zero-Point Energy", by Moray B. King, p. 100:
"W.B. Smith, 'The New Science', Fern-Graphic Publ., Mississauga, Ontario,
(1964). This esoteric work claims that the energized caduceus coil
(opposing helical windings on a ferrite core) creates a 'tempic field'.
[This is a region where the time component of the space-time metric is
altered. Such a claim might be supported if the ZPE were a hyperspatial
flux orthogonal to our three-dimensional space, and the pulsed magnetic
field opposition on the ferrite lattice induced an orthorotation of this
flux.]"
Reference 44:
"G. Burridge, 'The Smith Coil', Psychic Observer, 35(5), 410-16, (1979).
This article explains how to wind a caduceus coil (previous reference) and
reports on some observations made by investigators experimenting with the
coil."
Reference 45:
"W.L. Moore, C. Berlitz, 'The Philadelphia Experiment: Project
Invisibility', Grosset & Dunlap, NY, (1979). The authors research
persistent rumors that in World War II the U.S. Navy did an experiment
where, in attempting to bend light and radar waves around a ship by
intense, pulsed magnetic fields, they accidentally teleported the ship. [If
such an event did occur with technology of the 1940's, it would not have
been overly complicated. Curving light around an object requires curving
space-time. The only energy strong enough to do this would have to come
from orthorotating the ZPE flux. Creating intense, pulsed, opposing
magnetic fields with a caduceus coil is a candidate for accomplishing this.
If too much ZPE were orthorotated, it would bend space-time too much, and
the object would leave our three-dimensional continuum.]"
Reference 47, p.101 of "Tapping the Zero-Point Energy":
"S. Seike, 'The Principles of Ultrarelativity', G-research Laboratory,
Tokyo, Japan, (1971). Seike proposes the existence of a physical
hyperspace with an electrical energy flux that flows orthogonal to our
three dimensional space. To orthorotate this flux into our space requires
a four dimensional rotation. Seike calculates how the three dimensional
projection of this 'hyper' rotation would appear in our 3-space using four
dimensional Euclidian geometry. Seike's main theme is that by actualizing
the dynamics of the 3-D projection with the motion of charge, the
hyperspatial form is created."
Reference 48:
"C.W. Cho, 'Tetrahedral Physics', 449 Izumi, Komae City, Tokyo, Japan,
(1971) Cho describes in detail one of Seike's (previous reference)
hyperspatial, four-dimensional rotating forms called the 'resonating
electromagnetic field' (RMF). The form is generated by rapidly switching
electric charge in a specific way among four spheres located at the
vertices of a tetrahedron. The dynamics of the switching are such that
there are two modes of rotation orthogonal to each other: a rotational mode
and a precessional, oscillating 'inside out' mode. The projected
hyperspatial structure is described as a 'dynamical Klein bottle'. It is
predicted that experimentally switching the charges in the described manner
will cause the apparatus to exhibit gravitational and inertial anomalies."

Further info on Seike, from the book "Ether Technology: A Rational Approach
to Gravity-Control", by Rho Sigma (1977): [note the apparent incorrect
spelling of his name: Seiki, rather than Seike, as in M.B. King's book.]
"Professor Shinichi Seiki, Uwajima City, Ehime Prefecture, Japan, developed
a somewhat more elaborate theory of the Lorentz force, incorporating the
use of the 'ether'. Starting with the so-called 'Kramer equation', which
describes the movements of atoms in the presence of exterior electrical and
magnetic fields -- the basic components of the Lorentz force -- Professor
Seiki conceived of the possibility of creating 'negative gravitational
energies' by utilizing a suitable electromagnetic field.
"Currently, in a process called NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), we only
utilize the changes in spatial electron spins due to the application of
magnetic fields. The substance to be examined is placed in a high
frequency field, and we observe energy absorption effects peculiar to the
frequencies typical of a given molecule of matter.
"Seiki went one step further and introduced NER (Nuclear Electrical
Resonance), which influences BOTH the polar AND the axial spin. Polar
spin, he claimed, is directly related to the gravitational field.
Describing a rotating electrical AC field superimposed on a DC magnetic
field, he claims that an exponential increase of 'negative gravitational
energies' occurs at a certain resonance frequency. This means that energy
from the earth- gravitational field enters the system of the secondary
artificial field created by the antigravity motor. The negative G-energies
cause a weakening of the earth-gravitational field, ultimately canceling it
altogether. Further depolarization then causes the vehicle to be repulsed
by the larger gravitational body (earth).
"It seems that the reason Prof. Seiki's NER effects have not yet been
'officially' utilized, is that nuclear electrical resonance can occur ONLY
at extremely high electrical voltage SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH ultra-high AC
frequencies. Below this threshold, the probability of negative-G-energy
conditions is extremely small. Above this critical frequency (also called
'Larmor Frequency'), the effect of this type of gravity engine is also
dependent upon the electromagnetic polarization potential of the materials
used.
"Professor Seiki proposes ferromagnetic substances, such as ferrite and
ferromagnetic materials such as barium-strontium-titanate. In his design,
three spherical condensers are alternately charged and discharged by three
magnetic coils. At first glance, the entire idea seems to be just another
'perpetuum mobile'. However, the only energy transformation used is that
of gravitational energy into mechanical and electrical and vice versa." --
pp. 82, 83.

ferromagetics in his "Vacuum Triode" free-energy device. See the files

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for a couple of comments on Al Bielek. I wrote to him in the Fall of
1991, told him I'd been to Montauk Point, NY, and basically asked him to
either tantalize me with some further specific technical details, or to
point me toward some solid references on the subject. I figured, hey, if
he was there and wants us to believe his incredible story, he'd be willing
to answer a few technical questions.
He never wrote back.
I tried to track him down over the phone but was told by the Phoenix
operator that his number is unlisted.
In July of 1991, Al Bielek gave a lecture at Rosemont College, PA, which I
attended. He told his P.E./Phoenix story in substantially the same form as
it was told on the now-famous videotape, "The Truth Behind the Philadelphia
Experiment". What was new was that he had a BOOK, co-authored with Brad
Steiger, called "The Philadelphia Experiment and Other UFO Conspiracies".
If you think the video causes brain damage, you should read the book!
Anyway, as usual, it mainly told his story and other UFO anecdotes, but did
not delve deeply into the PHYSICS or TECHNOLOGY end of the P.E. Bielek did
say, however, that he was working on a new book that would TELL ALL from a
technical standpoint, probably to be released in early 1992. Well, it's
August 1992 at this writing. Has anyone seen or heard of this new book?
My research also unearthed some info about Bielek's "Zero-Time Reference
Generator", which he claims Tesla invented and was used to set the "time
locks" in P.E.-related experiments. Jerry Decker seems to imply that
Bielek may have been hoodwinking his lecture audience when he showed a
slide of this device, which Jerry remarks "looks strangely similar to an
old Army field kitchen refrigeration unit. No technical details were given
or offered." Well, maybe I can offer some:
A glance through my old Radio Shack 1975-76 Dictionary of Electronics shows
me that there is indeed such a thing as a Zero Time Reference. Page 667
says "In a radar, the time reference of the schedule of events during one
cycle of operation." In a digital or microprocessor circuit we would call
it a "clock". Everything that goes on in the system is synced to that
reference clock. Just what one might expect if they were indeed fooling
around with TIME using radar-related equipment.
Bielek made one other cryptic remark that bothered me for a long time --
his remark on the E.T. Monitor program about a PI over 2 series of
frequencies being WINDOWS, evidently INTERDIMENSIONAL windows. He never
elaborated because it was the end of the program at that point. What was
he referring to?
Well, imagine my surprise when I ran across his terminology in the library
one day while I was looking up info on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance! It seems
that "PI/2" refers to a certain pulse-width with respect to a reference
pulse in one cycle of the NMR machine's field configuration. Also, Bielek
refers to "T1" as being "our" normal time, while "T2" seems to be the
"time" you're traveling to, in a time-travel experiment. Well, T1 and T2
also show up in the NMR literature, but apparently relating to the
"relaxation time" between two events in the NMR cycle. Read the quotes (to
follow) for details.
So we have several possible scenarios here: 1) Al Bielek is a smart cookie
who knows lots of technical terms gleaned from hi-technologies and
appropriates them to his P.E. story, assuming that nobody is going to take
the time to check out his lingo at the library, 2) He isn't necessarily
borrowing terms from the NMR field, but, since the NMR pulse terminology
probably derives from radar technology, he is using radar terminology to
make his story sound impressive, or.... 3) Perhaps Al is telling the truth
after all. I just wish he would answer some real nitty-gritty technical
questions from some qualified engineers so that the rest of us could know
just how much of his story to believe, if any.
Without further adieu, let's look at what NMR is all about:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance [capitalization for emphasis is mine]
R.E. Walstedt
"Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is the effect of a resonant ROTATING (or
alternating) magnetic field, imposed at RIGHT ANGLES to a typically much
larger STATIC field, to perturb the orientation of nuclear moments. First
applied to molecular beam studies, the term has come to refer specifically
to the study of nuclear magnetism in bulk matter, with the distinct feature
of detection by purely electromagnetic methods. The first such
observations were made in 1946, for which F. Bloch and E.M. Purcell
received the Nobel Prize in 1952...
"The essence of this methodology is that the nuclear moments u(i) in the
specimen under observation are rotated so as to lie at some angle with
respect to the applied field B(o). Under these conditions the moments
experience a torque u(i) x B(o), which causes the angular momentum [i.e.,
u(i) itself] to precess around B(o) in precise analogy with the motion of a
gyroscope in a gravitational field. The nuclei precess at the LARMOR
PRECESSION FREQUENCY w(L)=gamma B(o), where gamma is the previously defined
gyromagnetic ratio. For strong fields, w(L) is in the RADIO FREQUENCY
RANGE. For example, in a field B(o)=1 T (=10^4 Gauss), protons precess at
a frequency f(L)=w(L)/2PI= 42.5774 MHz. However established, coherently
precessing nuclear moments can be caused to induce a voltage at frequency
f(L) in a surrounding coil of wire, which can then be amplified by standard
radio-frequency electronic techniques and recorded.
"Many techniques have been developed for the observation of NMR signals.
These are divided into two principle classes, PULSED and CONTINUOUS WAVE
(cw) methods. [Note that Al Bielek says Tesla favored the older CW method
in the Phila. Experiment while John Von Neumann, his assistant, opted for
the newer technology PULSED method.] In recent years the pulsed methods
have gained wider acceptance because of their greater flexibility and
efficiency. In pulsed NMR the signal following a single excitation pulse
is known as a free induction decay. The excitation of free induction
signals is accomplished by means of an applied ROTATING (or alternating)
MAGNETIC FIELD of a frequency at or near the Larmor frequency of the nuclei
to be studied, directed along an axis perpendicular to B(o)...
"Again, borrowing from the terminology of GYROSCOPIC MOTION, the rotation
of nuclei about the field B(1) is generally referred to as NUTATION. If
B(1) is applied long enough to rotate the nuclear moments into a RIGHT
ANGLE with B(o) and then TURNED OFF, THIS IS REFERRED TO AS A PI/2 PULSE.
A pulse twice as long, i.e., a PI pulse, will invert the nuclei to the
direction -B(o). THE MAXIMUM FREE INDUCTION SIGNAL IS ACHIEVED WITH A PI/2
PULSE...
"Thus, nuclei in solids and liquids are typically very strongly decoupled
from their surroundings, making them useful probes of local magnetic
behavior. There are two principle types of relaxation process affecting
NMR measurements. The first is longitudinal or spin-lattice relaxation,
which is typified by the recovery of the nuclear polarization following the
application of an excitation pulse. The time constant for the polarization
to approach its equilibrium value is known as T1. In such a T1 process,
the nuclear spins EXCHANGE ENERGY QUANTA... with the 'lattice' or
environment in which they are immersed. [Bielek makes some references to
'cross-coupling of the lattices' in his story.] Depending on these
circumstances, values of T1 range from the submicrosecond scale up to
times of HOURS and beyond. Transverse relaxation is the term used to
describe the decay in time of a free induction signal following pulsed
excitation; it is characterized by a time constant T*2...
"The echo decay time constant is usually termed T2....
"...Two-dimensional NMR. This method is a simple extension of the Fourier
transform scheme to include a sequence of two PI/2 pulses separated by a
variable time t1. Time t1, the 'evolution' time, is varied from zero up
to values slightly greater than the free induction lifetime. After the
second pulse, the signal is recorded over a time interval t2 with a similar
range as t1. The data are then Fourier transformed over both time axes t1
and t2 to generate frequency scales f1 and f2, and a two-dimensional
contour diagram of signal intensity against frequencies f1 and f2 is
plotted.
"An application of NMR technique which has enormous potential for the
fields of biology and medicine is that of NMR IMAGING OF SPECIMENS HAVING
SPATIAL STRUCTURE.... The method has been developed to the point where
cross-sectional images of the human body can be generated in just a few
minutes with enough resolution to be of diagnostic value in medicine...
"A three-dimensional object to be imaged is placed in a magnetic field with
a field GRADIENT along one axis, e.g., the z axis. A pulsed radio-
frequency magnetic field is then applied, exciting the nuclear spins in a
planar cross section of small but finite thickness oriented perpendicular
to the z axis. This is the first pulse of the two-phase sequence described
above. During time t1 a field gradient is switched on along the x axis,
and after the second pulse, this gradient is switched to lie along the y
axis. Barring excessive intrinsic structure in the spectrum of the species
excited, the effect of these gradients will be to "encode" the spatial
variation of NMR intensity into a spectrum of resonance frequencies, along
one planar axis and then the other. On performing the Fourier transforms,
this encoding will then result in a two-dimensional image of the spatially
distributed NMR intensities."
As to the field strength of the main magnet, we read:
"MRI equipment consists of a huge, superconducting electromagnet that is
cooled by liquid helium. It is constructed as a large tube with an inside
diameter of about 1 meter to admit the patient. The electromagnet of a
typical MRI system weighs more than 20 tons and is capable of producing a
uniform magnetic field of 1.5 Tesla within its bore. (This is approximately
30,000 times the strength of the earth's natural magnetic field.)"
-- the preceding was a compilation of info from several encyclopedias of
Scientific terms, most notably Van Nostrand's.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
One interesting side note:
On the one hand we are not taught in school that there is any real danger
in being exposed to strong magnetism (except for the current controversy
over 60 Hz ELECTROmagnetism from power lines, etc.). Yet, elsewhere in
this paper I included the quote about 'official' researchers 'frowning' on
magnetic research because of possible deleterious effects to humans. Well,
here is a quote from an article on MRI that appeared in "Machine Design"
magazine, 11/8/90:
"The magnet creates fringe field effects that unless taken into account by
designers, stretch far beyond the MRI machine. Although there is no
conclusive evidence of harmful effects of magnetic fields, the FDA, feeling
it is better to err on the side of caution, has set up guidelines that no
uninformed or unaware person should be permitted to walk through magnetic
field strengths greater than 5 G... [The earth's field = about .6 Gauss]
"Large areas and parking lots surrounding early mobile units had to be
roped off to prevent people from straying into the fringe field." -- pp
76,77.
Just as food for thought: If you strayed too near a mobile MRI unit and
soon afterward came down with some mysterious malady, do you really think
you'd be able to prove that the magnetic field was the cause???
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, there you have it. What are we able to glean from the descriptions
of the technology behind the alleged Philadelphia Experiment?
Was it a unique field/equipment configuration whose exact nature will
remain hidden away in some Top Secret classified file in Washington?
Or have the basic concepts, developed in the lab over the years under the
name NMR, finally become popularly implemented since the late 1970's or
early 1980's by the medical field, under the name MAGNETIC RESONANCE
IMAGING?
Or are the SCALAR theorists, such as Tom Bearden and Jerry Decker, correct
when they imply that it's not the VECTOR electromagnetic fields that
produced the Philadelphia Experiment effects, but the SCALAR component,
produced by deliberately OPPOSING or CANCELING the "E" and "B" fields?
I sincerely hope this rather long file will stimulate discussion, lots of
responses, and maybe even some actual building of equipment along these
lines. Last one to disappear into another dimension is a rotten egg!
