Excellent article detailing the Cayce readings given for Nikola Tesla and Townsend Brown
- Thomas Brown was an electrical engineer born in Zanesville, March 18, 1905. In 1923 at the California Institute for Advanced Studies, during an experiment with X-rays, Brown noticed that when a direct electric current was passed on two metal disks, while they were separated by a dielectric layer, the positively charged disk moved towards the negatively charged one.
- This discovery was modified and improved thanks to Dr. Biefeld, so much so that the two developed the principle called Biefeld-Brown: which concerned the observable tendency of an electric capacitor, charged to a very high voltage, to move towards the positive pole.
- In short, Townsend Brown discovered that it was possible to create an artificial gravitational field by charging a capacitor to a high voltage. It was the premise of a revolution not only in physics but could have great practical implications
- After 1944 he worked as a consultant for Lockheed-Vega Aircraft Corporation, he developed a disk-shaped capacitor, which he called "gravitor" which, by applying continuous currents of various intensity at high voltage, was able to rise into the air and fly by itself, emitting a slight buzz and a bluish electrical brightness.
- In the early 50s he managed to improve the lifting force of his gravitor, until it was able to lift much more than its weight. Brown in those years tried to theorize such phenomena in Unit Field physics. Brown was firmly convinced of the existence of a connection between gravity and electricity, demonstrated precisely by his equipment.
- But it was also the end of Brown, the other scientists of the time began to belittle him and he was so opposed that the phenomenon he discovered from then on was identified with the name "electric wind".
- In 1955, Brown moved to Britain, and then to France where he worked for La Société Nationale de Construction Aéronautique du Sud Ouest, SNCASO. In 1956, Interavia magazine reported that Brown had made substantial progress in the field of antigravity and electrogravitic propulsion research. He achieved incredible results.
- He was able to fly his discs in a high vacuum, finding that his "airfoils" flew better without air, and he also found that their speed and efficiency increased as the electrical voltage was increased. According to reports from that period, in these demonstrations the discs reached speeds of 187 km/h using voltages between 100,000 and 200,000 volts. At that time there were also plans for a flame jet generator, which was thought to be able to provide voltages of up to 15,000,000 volts.
- Several leading airlines were involved in this research, which was labeled “classified,” starting in 1957. Later, the French company that financed his research cut off Brown’s funding; and then when he finally found a new financier, Brown died in unclear circumstances.
- Brown was also a consultant for NICAP, one of the first organizations on UFO studies, but he resigned shortly after because the organization’s activity attracted the attention of the CIA. - Thomas Townsend Brown died on October 22, 1985 in Avalon, Catalina Island (California).
- Since then, no one remembers this great pioneer until 1997, when during a television broadcast, a rare archive film shot in 1958 was shown, in which the “gravitor” can be seen rising. Towards the end of 2000, the Brownian gravitor was rediscovered by some American researchers, with a series of tests, both in air and in a vacuum, at the Purdue University Energy Conversion Lab.
- In 2000-2003, NASA, in collaboration with several researchers, issued a number of patents on the device, including a patent for use in orbital maneuvers.
