LaViolette v. Department of Commerce By Paul LaViolette | November 8, 2017 - 5:11 pm |August 5, 2018 News!, Physics 4 Comments In August of 1998 Paul LaViolette was hired by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to work as an examiner of MRI patents. Some months later, Tom Valone, a friend of his who also worked at the patent office began planning a conference on new energy technology that was to be held in Washington at the Department of Commerce auditorium. He created a posting on his website advertising the conference and LaViolette put a link to the posting on his own website. More →
Grusenick Experiment Proves the Existence of the Ether and of a Vertical G-on flux By Paul LaViolette | October 24, 2017 - 4:39 pm |September 15, 2019 Astronomy, News!, Physics 34 Comments In 2009 the German scientist Martin Grusenick conducted an interferometer experiment that proves the existence of an ether and that indicates the presence of an ether wind oriented vertical to the Earth’s surface. He constructed an interferometer similar to that used by Michaelson-Morley and found More →
The Nassikas Lorentz force thruster fails the helium test By Paul LaViolette | October 7, 2017 - 1:04 am |October 25, 2017 Electrogravitics, News!, Physics 17 Comments In August we carried out a helium test on version II and III of the Nassikas thruster at SuperPower Corp. in Schenectady, NY. We fixed the coil in a liquid helium dewar with its axis pointed in a horizontal direction. The dewar in turn was suspended from a ceiling beam so that it could move from side to side. Any side deflection of the dewar, due to any internally developed force, would have been measured on an electronic scale which was in mechanical contact with the wall of the dewar. More →
Nassikas Magnetic Thruster Version Three to Undergo Helium Test By Paul LaViolette | June 23, 2017 - 3:20 pm |October 25, 2017 Electrogravitics, News!, Physics 31 Comments Introducing the Nassikas Superconducting Thruster, Version III Here we announce for the first time a new version of the Nassikas superconducting thruster which we believe will produce fantastic results at liquid helium temperatures. But to make this happen, we need your help; see below. More →
Test results on the Nassikas Thruster II propulsion device By Paul LaViolette | October 24, 2016 - 2:15 am |June 23, 2017 Electrogravitics, News!, Physics 34 Comments Earlier this year we had conducted a crowd funding campaign to raise money in order to conduct a test of the Nassikas thruster II propulsion device (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/superconducting-levitation-thruster#/). The coil was wound by Superpower Inc. (Schenectady, NY) in early October and tests were completed this past week at the Superpower facilities. More →
Construction is to Begin on the Nassikas Thruster II Prototype By Paul LaViolette | June 20, 2016 - 12:05 pm |September 30, 2016 Climatology, Electrogravitics, News!, Physics 29 Comments The Indiegogo crowd funding campaign for the Nassikas II levitation thruster ended on June 2nd (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/superconducting-levitation-thruster/x/13625374#/). At that point a total of 285 backers had provided 60% of the needed $32,000 goal amount. More →
John B. Wells will interview Paul LaViolette tonight on Caravan to Midnight By Paul LaViolette | May 2, 2016 - 5:34 pm |May 2, 2016 News!, Physics 7 Comments John B. Wells will interview Paul LaViolette tonight at 10 PM (central time) on the show Caravan to Midnight at: caravantomidnight.com. The main topic tonight will be the Nassikas superconducting levitation thruster. More →
How a New Field Theory Could Explain Reactionless Propulsion Thrusters By Paul LaViolette | April 29, 2016 - 2:28 pm |April 29, 2016 Electrogravitics, News!, Physics 6 Comments Recently, there have been many news reports circulating about the EMDrive, the reactionless propulsion thruster developed in 2001 by aerospace engineer Roger Shawyer. So far, six teams around the world have verified that the EM Drive indeed produces a reactionless thrust. More →
The Minimum Contradictions Physics of Dr. Nassikas and a Comparison to Subquantum Kinetics By Paul LaViolette | April 10, 2016 - 11:24 am |April 10, 2016 Electrogravitics, News!, Physics 1 Comment Prior to the discovery of his first thruster invention described elsewhere https://igg.me/at/levitation-thruster and https://etheric.com/nassikas-thruster-light-years-ahead-of-the-dawn-spacecraft-ion-propulsion-system/, Dr. Athanassios Nassikas had been for many years developing a philosophical methodology based on the principles of logic that would allow one to judge the desirability of physics theories. Namely, this approach led him to the conclusion that physics theories concocted with the minimum number of independent axioms or hypotheses would be the most desirable… More →
The Nassikas Superconducting Lorentz Thruster: Levitation with essentially zero power draw and heavy payload capability By Paul LaViolette | March 17, 2016 - 6:04 pm |April 12, 2016 Electrogravitics, News!, Physics 15 Comments Here I would like to announce a new superconductor thruster idea that Dr. Nassikas has come up with which should be able to produce 30,000 to a million times more thrust than his version 1 thruster. The implications of this new thruster invention are mind boggling. To distinguish it from his earlier version, he refers to it as the Nassikas thruster II (version 2);… More →
First Discovery of Quadrupole Gravity Waves Still Does Not Prove Existence of Black Holes By Paul LaViolette | February 12, 2016 - 1:18 pm |February 18, 2016 Astronomy, News!, Physics 32 Comments After sitting on their discovery for 5 months, scientists affiliated with the LIGO observatories finally announced that they had for the first time unequivocally detected a gravity wave. This culminated a four decade search for gravity waves. First, one may note that if our own Galactic center were ever to launch a killer gravity wave heralding a coming superwave, don’t expect to hear about it from LIGO. They will likely sit on the data for months and then you would never hear about it because all global communication systems would be down two days later after the gamma ray/cosmic ray pulse arrived.

The Force of Star Wars and the Organic Conception of the Ether By Paul LaViolette | December 14, 2015 - 3:38 am |December 18, 2015 News!, Physics 7 Comments If we take the concept of the Force taught in the movie Star Wars and bring it one level down to the subquantum realm, this very accurately describes the transmuting ether postulated in subquantum kinetics. Like the Force, the ether of subquantum kinetics “binds” the universe together. This is essentially an organic view of the physical world, namely that one region of space affects other parts of space and is itself affected by those other regions of space. More →
