1. Post-Newtonian Propulsion Technology Benjamin Thomas Solomon B.Sc.(Elec.Eng.)(UK), Dip.OR(UK), MAOR(UK), MBS(Bank & Fin)(Ireland) Technology Inventor International Space Development Conference 2001 May 24 –28, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA

2. Relevant Accomplishments “An Epiphany on Gravity”, under review. “Wormholes Create Unresolvable Paradoxes”, Aug/Sep 2001, Journal of Theoretics. “Post-Newtonian Propulsion Technology”, May 2001, NSS-ISDC 2001, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA

3. The Need for New Technology Cost Structure Proof of the NeedRequired Characteristics Variable Costs It requires 22 lbs of expensive fuel to send 1 lb of payload into orbit. Estimated cost per Shuttle launch is $500m, or about $100m per astronaut. $200-$1,000 / passenger $20,000-$100,000 / launch Operating Costs Today, NASA, is the only organization, that is capable of inter-planetary manned space flight. NASA’s FY2002 budget is $14.5 billion. Handles about an estimated 30 astronauts per year. 250,000 passengers / day. Development Costs Lockheed Martin Astronautics, Atlas V, rockets took 10 years and $1billion to develop. A new model spacecraft every 2 years. Feasibility Long range space travel, beyond the Solar System, is infeasible with propellant based propulsion systems. Viability Commercial space tourism for the masses, is not viable with the current cost structure.

4. Key Innovation Technology Elements Time Dilation Gravity Process Model Electromagnetic Time Dilation Process Model Electrical Circuit without Moving Parts Electro- magnetism Time Dilation Gravity

5. Time Dilation Gravity Process Model Non-linear time dilation causes the effect of gravity and not the other way around. “An Epiphany on Gravity”, under review.

6. Electromagnetic Time Dilation Process Model Under certain conditions electromagnetic fields can cause localized time dilation. Will be published when patents are granted.

7. Electrical Circuit without Moving Parts An electrical circuit, without moving parts, has been developed that can create a force directly from energy; in effect, change its own weight. The direction of the weight change can be reversed by changing the electric field polarity or by turning the device upside-down.

8. Three Generations of Device Development First Generation Device is a cylinder. Second Generation Devices are disc shaped. Third Generation Devices are disc shaped with more sophisticated electric field generators.

12. Measuring Weight Change

13. Weight and M-Current Profiles Experiment conducted in March 2000

14. Room Temperature Superconductivity

15. Observations in Basic Physics Experimental repeatability. Not due to the Earth’s magnetic field. No electric field no force. No magnetic field no force. Both electric and magnetic fields must be present to observe a force. Increased e-voltage increases net weight change. Increased m-current increases net weight change.

16. Weight Change Progress Results AchievedPeriod 1mm deflectionNov/99 – Feb/00 0.1g weight loss (1 hour)Dec/99 – Jan/00 0.5g weight loss (3 hours)Jan/99 – Feb/00 1.0g weight loss (3 hours)Mar/00 – Aug/00 3.0g weight loss (3 hours)Aug/00 – Sep/00 3.0g weight loss (1 hour)Apr/01

17. The Post-Newtonian Effect Current rocket technology uses Newton’s 3 rd Law of Motion, equal & opposite reaction, to achieve motion. Post-Newtonian Propulsion Technology achieves weight change without this 3 rd Law. In effect, the device folds spacetime to create a force and thus, a change in weight.
