Method and apparatus for generation of a gravitational force on a rotating body such as a superconductor

An apparatus for generating a force sufficient to cause an acceleration of said apparatus in a predetermined direction, comprising:

• an electrically conducting body portion;
• ultracentrifuge means for rotating said body portion;
• and
• commutator means for passing an electrical current through said body portion such that said current flows simultaneously both in a direction of rotation of said body portion and contrary to a direction of rotation of said body portion, wherein high and low relativistic mass electrons are produced by ultracentrifugational rotation of said body portion, said high and low relativistic mass electrons causing a directed gravitational force on said body portion sufficient to accelerate said apparatus.

A method for producing electrons of high relativistic mass in at least a portion of an object while simultaneously producing electrons of low relativistic mass in an opposite portion of said object, comprising:

• rotating the object about at least one axis passing through the object, the object being rotated at an angular velocity sufficient to induce a relativistic change in mass of at least some electrons comprising a current passing through at least a portion of the object;
• and
• passing an electrical electron current simultaneously through separate first and second portions of said object that, due to rotation of said object, respectively move at least partially in a first direction which is contrary to a direction of current flow through said object and at least partially in a second direction to which is coincident with a direction of current flow through said object;
• wherein a difference in relativistic electron mass is developed between electrons within said first and second portions of said object, said difference in electron mass resulting in a directed gravitational force upon said object.

An apparatus for altering a relativistic mass of electrons within an object, comprising:

• a conductive object;
• a motor for rotating said object;
• and
• a set of commutators, said commutators contacting the object so as to pass an electrical current equally through an upper portion and a lower portion of said object;
• wherein, when the object is rotated by the motor and an electrical current is passed through said upper and lower portions simultaneously in both a direction of rotation and a direction contrary to a direction of rotation of said object, electrons passing in the upper portion experience an increase in relativistic mass and electrons passing in the lower portion experience a decrease in relativistic mass.

An apparatus for generating a force sufficient to accelerate a body in a predetermined direction, comprising:

• an electrically conducting portion;
• a motor for rotating said electrically conducting portion;
• and
• a commutator for passing electrical currents simultaneously through different portions of said electrically conducting mass both in a direction of rotation and contrary to a direction of rotation of said mass.
