In reading many of the things that have been said by and about John Hutchinson, I find that his tinkering has led him some phenomena that is not easy to explain even by a well seasoned engineer and may be perplexing to a doctorate degree-holding physicist. To hold the gentleman's wife to an even higher standard is just plain disrespectful. The lady is doing what she can to explain things and instead of making snide remarks and innuendos, it serves the highest good to ask pertinent questions that can be answered by someone who does not possess such lofty degrees.
TTB made two important statements regarding what has come to be called the Beifeld-Brown Effect. One is that it is 'a departure from Coulomb's Law' and the other a 'heretofore unknown electrokinetic phenomenon' the latter which can be found in Patent No. 2,949,550
Electrokinetic apparatus.
http://reality101blog.blogspot.com/2010 ... chive.htmlSince both he and John Hutchinson were both experimenting and observing such phenomena that cannot be explained by known physical law, it stands to reason that no one will be capable of doing so until more experimental data is collected and analyzed. Then we may have some mathematics that can be used to form a theoretical understanding that can be engineered into a practical application.
I gave references to data that is readily available to those wishing to seek knowledge. Some of the authors have been read/studied by others who have invested their money and time into creating experiments to test these hypotheses and theories with varying levels of success (or failure) and they have only published enough data to whet one's appetite for more. I do not suspect any of them will be too forth coming until they can (legally) secure their works through copyright or patent(s).
And while I am here and being critical of several critics, I'd also point the poor use of the English language, especially the misuse of the words, "to" and "too".
If you mean 'also' then the proper word is 'too' not 'to' since the latter is indicative of the direction, and in going 'to' the movies and and taking someone else 'too'!
It is difficult enough to try and understand the gibberish without first having to correct the words to give them their proper context and meaning.
So as the title says, let's cut through the BS instead bringing it here to regurgitate. If you are so concerned what others say on other forums, may I suggest you go lodge your objectives over at those places instead of here. Moving on from the BS to serious discussion is easy of you have anything serious to discuss.
Based on what I have been reading here, there are very few who are interested in discussing due diligence of a scientific claim.
