Sorry for the terrible cut 'n paste job on this one, deadlineas y'know ;)
QuoteDr. Thomas Bearden, a retired Nuclear Engineer well known for holding views considered heretical by the mainstream of science, stated "the lower in frequency you go, the more gravity-effect you get, because you are affecting the time-domain energy." Bearden's comment attempts to address the basis for the De Aquino's theory, the assumption that an ELF field might be used in certain conditions to create a gravitational shield. Bearden hypothesized that in physics, ?E*?T = constant – in other words, by reducing the ?T (time) variant you increase the amount of energy (?E) available to the closed energy system of each ELF photon.
It is important to understand that the support for the De Aquino experiment by Podkletnov, Bearden, and the few scientists arguing in favor of investigation of this approach to gravitational shielding stems from a curiosity about the basis for this experiment, which in the engineering world is a very unique approach that has never been tried before. De Aquino's experiment utilizing ELF waveforms with frequencies down to approximately 1 cycle-per-ten-seconds -- this is a uniquely low frequency, and falls well below any large-current experimentation ever attempted -- including military research into ELF deep-sea communication tools from the early 1980's.
Opponents of the De Aquino theory might argue that the United States military regularly uses high-current ELF waveforms for submarine communication, and has never reported gravitational effects as a result of those. However, a document entitled "Extremely Low Frequency Communications Program" on the American Federation of Scientists' website describes the frequency ranges used by the Navy in Projects Seafarer and Sanguine as being in the 40 to 80hz range -- a large enough difference in frequency that De Aquino's own theorems would not show a noticeable gravitational shielding effect.
In a conversation with Steve Burns, he addressed several other differences between the military ELF systems and the De Aquino experiment such as the incredibly-high magnetic permeability required from the iron-core, which he feels precludes the military from ever having noticed a gravitational-shielding effect in their work with ELF communications. Another factor includes the weight of the Navy's apparatus being so heavy that any slight reduction in weight of up to even a ton would go unnoticed –
Project Sanguine utilized an antenna 222km in length, which is also no doubt either buried or anchored
prevent movement from weather-related effects, and most surely weighed-in at least several tons.
