T townsend brown biography

American inventor — In , while experimenting in the lab his parents had set up for him while he was still in high school, Brown discovered an unusual effect while experimenting with a Coolidge tube hot cathode tube , a type of X-ray vacuum tube with two asymmetrical electrodes. Amateur experimenters replicate his early experiments in the form of " ionic propulsion lifters " powered by high voltage.

His parents were Lewis K. In demonstrations, Brown would mount the unit as a pendulum and apply electrical power, causing the unit to move in one direction. It was left to me to gather up his notebooks and papers, and pack them in his well-worn black steamer trunk. References and external articles [ edit ]. Death October 27, per family website.

He demonstrated his ideas on electricity and gravity to guests such as the physicist and Nobel laureate, Robert A. An article by M. Thomas Townsend Brown.

Biefeld-brown effect

A physicist invited to observe Brown's disk device in the early s noted during the demonstration that its motivation force was the well-known phenomenon of "electric wind" and not anti-gravity, saying, "I'm afraid these gentlemen played hooky from their high school physics classes Mary Townsend was the daughter of T. Paul Alfred Biefeld Switzerland.

He advanced from theory to application with the development of solid and disc-shaped apparatuses which are believed to have created and utilized temporary, localized gravitational fields. Please drop in and see what's new there. Thomas was their only child. Read Edit View history. The only common factor between a Tesla coil and the Biefeld—Brown effect is that, in both of them, high voltage plays a vital role.

In the s, while Einstein was wrestling with the relationship between fundamental forces using mathematical equations, Townsend Brown was experimenting with something called a Coolidge Tube — one of the earliest X-Ray tubes. Wired Magazine. Enjoy your stay! Seeing him through the eyes of two such men has been a most moving experience for me and has influenced my decision to continue writing the story that the previous author uncovered.

I wondered if he was accepting defeat after a lifelong struggle to obtain recognition for his work, but there was no sadness in his actions. Nevertheless, as more Black programs are brought into the light, I am certain that we will see his distinct fingerprints in the science behind them. Chapter 10 of the book was titled "The Force Fields of Townsend Brown", a retelling of Brown's early work, claiming he was involved in the experiment and implying Brown's electrogravitics was the propulsion used by UFOs.

After World War II, Brown sought to develop and sell his inventions as a means of propulsion for aircraft and spacecraft. In fact, when Tesla came to the USA he was supposedly carrying plans for a "flying machine". Destiny had another course in mind for him.

Gravity amplifier

In , Brown went to England, then to France. Smithsonian Institution. Toggle the table of contents.
