Well, Vorts, I have been revisiting the Hutchinson Effect and have been very chuffed over what I have found.
The phenomena described below - the "lift" - the "lateral" propulsion - " twisting spiral movement" the "looping arc" are all exactly the motions one might expect from objects hit by a Beta-atmosphere vortex ring. And the fact that they are so obviously consistent is evidence the phenomena are real. If Hutchison had be faking the results he would not have been so stupid as to fake such a weird collection since he obviously hasn't got a clue as to the cause. In fact, if I had wanted to fake experimental results to demonstrate the generation of Beta- atmosphere Vortex ring, I couldn't have done better than organise the results Hutchison actually obtained. ================================================= http://www.thelosthaven.co.uk/LiarLiarPants.htm ------------------------------------------------- THE HUTCHISON EFFECT: A LIFT, DISRUPTION AND LUMINOUS ENERGY SYSTEM The original way that Hutchison set out his range of apparatus was, by industrial standards, primitive and crowded, with poor connections and hand-wound coils. But it was with this layout with its erratic standards that he obtained most of the best examples of objects levitating, despite the fact that the maximum power drawn was 1.5 kilowatts, and this from the ordinary power sockets of the house mains. The Hutchison device produces effects which can basically be divided into two categories, propulsive and energetic. It can induce lift in objects made of any material and also propel them laterally. It has been noted that there are four types of trajectory that affect objects weighing a few pounds, and all of these upward movements begin with a twisting spiral movement. Also, there has to be a particular geometry in relation to the direction of gravity, i.e., downwards of these objects, for them to be affected in this way. Some objects will not take off if you turn them on their sides, but will if you stand them on their ends. It is evident, therefore, that the relationship of their physical forms to the fields which swirl invisibly around them is important. Returning to the four modes of trajectory, first, there is the looping arc, where objects take off relatively slowly over a period of seconds, loop in the air and fall back to earth; then there is the ballistic take-off where objects shoot upwards suddenly, hit the ceiling and fall back down. A third type of trajectory is a powered one where there appears to be a continuous lifting force; and the fourth is where an object moves upwards and just hovers for some time. As mentioned, these objects can be of any material whatsoever, wood, plastics, copper, zinc, Styrofoam, etc. ================================================= Funnily enough, when I first read accounts of Hutchison's work some years ago I could see that the material phenomena were consistent with disturbances in Beta-atmosphere pressure but the weird dynamic effects seemed more like the operations of poltergeists than the results of kosher scientific experimentation. And no doubt that is why it attracted the interest of poltergeist hunters as you can see from the following excerpt. ================================================= http://www.thelosthaven.co.uk/LiarLiarPants.htm ------------------------------------------------- Liar Liar, Pants on Fire Brian Allan 2001 Foreword This article began as an investigation into a possible mechanism behind poltergeist activity and related phenomena, but as the investigation proceeded, it became inexorably enmeshed within a completely unexpected area, namely the covert world of military intelligence, 'black' projects and superscience. While there may indeed be a separate, discarnate, spiritual explanation for the creation of anomalous sounds and the spontaneous, random movement of objects, there are other equally bizarre and worrying causes. ================================================= Since the military authorities seemed to be involved one might have thought they would have got to the bottom of things. Evidently not. They must have assumed that it was trickery or something and they would have plenty of Dr.Porks to assure them that such things were "completely impossible" and that they must be weak minded to be taken in by such conjuring tricks. Cold Fusion is a doddle by comparison. Mind you I haven't got a very high opinion of people involved with military research. I always remember the time I went down to the Military Experimental Establishment at Christchurch to observer the final experiments in a large soil-stabilization trial. I asked the officer in charge if I could have copy of the previous experiments. He replied, "I haven't got time to write up the results. Don't you realise there are 5 sergeants and 100 men who I've got to keep occupied." Still to be fair, as pointed out later in the above reference, ============================================== "It must be mentioned that 99 per cent of the time the objects do nothing at all, and one can wait for days before anything happens, but it is just this erratic unpredictability that one finds when investigating poltergeist activity." ============================================== I'm surprised someone didn't suggest they whistled up an exorcist. Mind you, the coincidence of discovering this ring vortex phenomena on a Vortex discussion group is rather spooky. <grin> Well, where does one go from here? It would be nice to think that some Vorts would take up the baton in view of the fact that EM seems to be the main area of expertise around. On the other hand the cognitive dissonance to all that a hard won education and lifetime's experience is probably too much. Still, to give the Vortexian community its due, it has always been very tolerant of my "concrete head" prognostications. I suppose I'll have to start with someone who actually witnessed the Hutchison phenomena and has always had it nagging at them. I've e-mailed George Hathaway earlier. As far as I can make out he seems a fairly sensible engineer and, presumably, he believes the Hutchison Effect is real since he is proposing to write Hutch's biography. I would welcome any other constructive suggestions that Vorts might come up with. Cheers, Frank Grimer
