Interesting experiments and results!
It’s more or less in line with what i want to do: scale down and increase the frequency because it is much cheaper due to much lower power requirements, smaller equipment etc! Good choice i think.
That said i have my doubts about hanging the active part without a vacuum or at least a small container around the piezo stack: it is very easy to get a false positive by pushing against air.
No, air is not a problem. I looked at the complications of vacuum and decided I would first try this and later designs in air. Air would only be a problem if air resistance in one direction was much greater than the other. Just to test that I mounted a paper nose cone on the end opposite to the force reported here. The result was the same as before. Also, I’ll show later that the same device can reverse force direction at roughly half the frequency used here.
I’m pleased you are thinking of trying this. My new design in Blog 7 is much simpler and it operates at the frequency that causes force toward the small mass. Thanks for posting. Larry
Kudos for these experiments! About air not being a problem… I would be careful to exclude this so quick… I would suggest to so some simple testing with smoke, to spot any possible weak air jets eventually produced by the device. Other than trying when the device is tested on the balance – which could be tricky, as the smoke will move unpredictably due to other air currents, I would test the device in a closed transparent environment, where the smoke drift can be made very small and possible jets from the device would be more easily detected.
Hello, just came across your blog here. So are you saying your experiments prove the Mach effect can produce thrust, or no?
I can’t say for sure that the Mach Effect is moving the stack; however, I can’t find evidence of any other force that would give these very consistent results. A crucial implication of the math by Dr. Rodal predicts the force is maximum when the large to small mass ratio is 10. I’m currently testing with different ratios. If it proves true, that would be more proof that it works.
I had planned to make this simple enough so others could verify the results. That would be more evidence that it works. The testing at NRL, Washington DC will be very significant. I hope they have several devices to test. Piezoelectric material can fail in different ways. That may be why it has been difficult to replicate Dr. Woodward’s work. I’ve had no failures since I figured out how to control the temperature and voltage. Thanks – Larry
