Hi people:)original.giforiginal.gif I have just moved from the uk to beijing china and at the moment i have alot of time on my hand, so i have been browsing the web looking for paranormal/ufo/ghost kind of stuff. I came across this site http://www.hutchisoneffect.ca
Its really an interesting read. I am 100% sure he is not a fake because many people have seen his work. Just read up on him and tell me what you think.


John Hutchison's life changed drastically in 1979 when, upon starting up an array of high-voltage equipment, he felt something hit his shoulder. He threw the piece of metal back to where it seemed to have originated, and it flew up and hit him again. This was how he originally discovered fundamental frequencies can sheild gravity. When his Tesla coils, electrostatic generator, and other equipment created a complex electromagnetic field, heavy pieces of metal levitated and shot toward the ceiling, and some pieces shredded. Upon analysis and thorough investigation, the Canadian government dubbed this phenomenon the Hutchison Effect.

What is the Hutchison effect? As with much of the new-energy field, no one can say for sure. Some theorists think the effect is the result of opposing electromagnetic fields cancelling each other out, creating a powerful flow of space energy. The Canadian government also reported invisible samples phasing in and out of existence.

A Vancouver businessman, George Liscazis, heard about the Hutchison Effect in 1987, contacted Hutchison, and brought in a consulting engineer from Boeing Aerospace, and the Canadian government to form a company that would promote technology developed from the effect. Many different political factors ensured Hutchison would not be allowed to continue in his research unless he signed agreements with either the Canadian government or the U.S. military. He refused. During one of John's overseas trips to Germany, the Canadian government seized the opportunity to aquire all of John's priceless replacations of Nikola Tesla's equipment by paying off his "partner" George Liscazis upwards of 70 million dollars and creating a false PCB scandal so they could use the local press to justify their actions and hide the true nature of what the government was actually removing from John's Lab located at 13th and Kingsway, Vancouver B.C.

After many more years of experiments, demonstrations and lectures in other countries such as U.S.A. Germany and Japan, Hutchison returned to Vancouver in 1991. Piece by piece, he built out of surplus Navy equipment what now has become something of a landmark in New Westminster, British Colombia. John has built himself an apartment laboratory second to none. It took several years before he could reestablish his collection, however despite many obsticals, most political, John now has his apartment lab equiped to perform for all types of media and still demonstrates the Hutchison Effect to this day.

Under the "Experiments" section, you will find John and friends are still developing new ideas, and historically engineering suppressed and lost technologies for release and scrutiny by the general public. In John's upcomming newsletter, he will be releasing never before seen, previously classified documentation from his own works as well as the Department of Defense documentation he has aquired over the years. from government sources, with or without official authorization.

Please enjoy this independent scientist's website and all it has to offer. John has remained independent regardless of multi million dollar offers to conceal his findings from the general public. N.A.S.A. is among the agencies he has turned down, as well as both the superpowers offerings to privatize and or militarize his inventions. John belives in a world of free energy and the marvels of anti- gravity for the general public, not just those in positions of power. He also remains hopeful his inventions one day will ease the burden and suffering, and enrich all of mankind all around the world, rich or poor.

The Ark of the Covenant experiment, if true means he has unlocked something quite amazing.

yep...but as usal it may not go anywhere because of the way our world works and its systematics...its a shame that we are capped from so much tec..advancement...maybe we need new.. world govenments that have a sense of forward thinking and advancment of the human civalisation..we will go no where at this rate and all his work and many others will be debunked /ridiculed or lost....if you could fly they would shoot you...if you could move conjar a system and had an oppitunity to better the would you would go missing....its only when the right action and the method of plausible fact could ultimatly be made to normal people that its acknowledgement would be accepted.....great read though..watch that space.
morrison1976
Its all about control. The govenment what to feel that they are always in control. We are nothing to them really. I would not be suprised if they know about all this anyway. I feel they get some sort of cheap thrill out of all this, the i know something you dont. I know its a bit harsh but sometimes i hate us as a race. I am talking about in general and not as a person. All the world powers care about one thing and thats themselves. Money, power, war is what makes thier world spin round. As a race we are still so primitive and you are right, we are going nowhere.
ai_guardian
Well, you may be right there guys BUT don't forget if all these extraordinary claims are hoaxes, fakes or money-spinners then we are DOUBLY going nowhere fast for not debunking them yes.gif And IMO, the outlook for our future is even bleaker if we let things like this slip through and cloud the visions of those that have a hope at seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. There have been many in the past misled by extraordinary claims only to the detriment of others who could have done better if they weren't misled. disgust.gif

Just a heads up because debunking and questioning has its purpose too. wink2.gif

Oh, and last time I checked (which has been a while) the Hutchison Effect was shown to be a fraud but I'd have to go digging for my references so don't go quoting me on that just yet. original.gif

Cheers
Celumnaz
I haven't heard about him being a fraud.

We need more experimental scientists. From my point of view all these dime-a-dozen theoretical scientists are such a drag.
kobie
i make you right there... but what i find intresting on the subject as a whole is the fact that the technological advancment of the germans and russians which for the germans was siezed during the war by the yanks....there reportedly had this tec from around 1940s....even the first self powerd which facilated a form of hutch's prepossed new power.obviously not his i'll have to attain informative sites when i have the time but certaintly a good read...blue tooth is not as new as we may think...its relatively quite old now..but anyway..on with the subject not a history lesson...yes huth's design wearnt completly fraud he was using half truths which made it even more all enspiring.. w00t.gif
morrison1976
I have seen nothing that says he is a fraud. There is not even talk of him being a fraud from other people.The things i have read about him from other people, and what i have seen of him and his experiments there is no reason to believe he is. I take the paranormal and the alternative way of thinking very seriosly, and i dont just believe something unless i have a good reason to believe.. I will follow his work very closely now and i hope something good comes out of it for all of us. ai_guardian go vheck out the site original.gif get back to me afterwards:)
kobie
but you still have to keel to the fact that hutche's experiments and machinery have not gone through 100% official regerouse testing and that its all on scruterny..we need to implerment a full proof testing experimental facility for these grand designs... even if it is proved fictionous/but the loop hole of control and desire will still have it tanterlizing grip on tec...everything in our world is ultimately controlled,
as technological advancement is only filterd out in small doses this is a fact and implemented in different ways...that is why in the last 100years we have had 200% growth increase in tec...we are a least though 100+ years behind because of the fileration w00t.gif

Morrison, I've done that many times before but just to make sure nothing new is going on, I did it again. And what a disappointment, yet again - the BS has grown even bigger, aarrgh. With all due respect though, if you've seen nothing that says he's a fraud you haven't looked past his site, into his history or in fact into his claims geek.gif Of course his site is going to say this effect exists, what else is the site for??? (oh I forgot, it is to sell his videos, da rolleyes.gif ) That's gonna get us far, NOT!

His so called 'effect' is a fake and he is a fraud because he's making money off of it - full stop. Now let's look at this critically shall we original.gif

1 This effect has been claimed by Hutchison since the 70's
2 It cannot be reproduced by anyone or for anyone unless they're not there blink.gif
3 Hutchison himself could not supposedly reproduce it himself (just covering his a*** and setting himself up nicely for excuses down the line)
4 He has not presented his 'effect' for any scientific study
5 He has not presented any of his 'props' yes.gif for any scientific study
6 Just like many like him he claims that the govt. etc. is trying to suppress his ground-breaking findings wacko.gif
7 His videos can be shown to be fakes and IMO easily reproduced using electromagnets, magnets, and wait for it....STRING (as is evident in his hovering UFO toy video). Keep in mind that the videos are using a different combination of these methods ie. the seemingly 'floating up' objects are not using string but some good trickery with electromagnets & upside down camera yes.gif
8 He sells videos rather than make the world a better place (if he actually could) with his non-existent effect - A DEAD GIVEAWAY!!!
9 He has been charged with fraud before

Well, there you have it which leads me to my original post here. It's people like him that make true progress go DOUBLY fast nowhere whilst he sits back laughing back at those that have jumped on his bandwagon.

But hey, go on believing - no skin off my back and no sleep lost either grin2.gif But you'll only have yourself to blame when things finally 'click' into place for you and you realise how much of your precious time here (life in general) you've wasted only to boost someone else's ego and wallet. thumbsup.gif

Right! dont insult me by saying i have not looked further than his website. The only people i have seen saying its a hoax are people who know nothing about it. Videos, what videos?? all his stuff you can see free online hmm.gif


now lets so called 'effect' is a fake and he is a fraud because he's making money off of it - full stop. Now let's look at this critically shall we

1 This effect has been claimed by Hutchison since the 70's

yes, thats true

2 It cannot be reproduced by anyone or for anyone unless they're not there

Not true!!the effect was well documented by Col. John Alexander, who funded a 4-month exhaustive study of the effect through “Stanford Research Institute” and the Central Intelligence Agency in the 1980’s. A team of four military scientists stayed with John to document his results, and found all of them (as witnessed in the 1980’s footage) to be quite real & unexplainable by conventional physics. Two of the team members were physicists from Sandia National Labs. There is so much more proof that he done this infront on scientists. If you want more, i will give you more.

3 Hutchison himself could not supposedly reproduce it himself (just covering his a*** and setting himself up nicely for excuses down the line)

Yes he did have probs reproducing the effect, so what! it is well documented that he did do it and if you still follow his work you will know that he still is.

4 He has not presented his 'effect' for any scientific study

Again, not true as i said in question 1. If you want more information on this i can give you it.

5 He has not presented any of his 'props' for any scientific study

And nor would i, to be honest. He has already proved it works and to be honest i agree with him.

6 Just like many like him he claims that the govt. etc. is trying to suppress his ground-breaking findings.

Again i agree with him. How much technology are the govt hiding from us already?? and how much of this technology is being used, or will be used for things like war?? Govt does not care about the good of mankind, they care about control. I can go into this subject too, if you like.


7 His videos can be shown to be fakes and IMO easily reproduced using electromagnets, magnets, and wait for it....STRING (as is evident in his hovering UFO toy video). Keep in mind that the videos are using a different combination of these methods ie. the seemingly 'floating up' objects are not using string but some good trickery with electromagnets & upside down camera

Right!!!! so so wrong again.They have not been proven to be fake. Ok, some people say they are, just like some people say that even the best ufo evidence is fake, but do you listen to them??? Lastly about the string on the uFo video.. What happens is that when u pass a LARGE Curent through a think peice of metal, it creates a wave that disturbs the air molecules causing it to rise. This is well known in japan as they are in the heart of research of this effect. AND u can conduct ur own levitation experimement. He has never denied this, so whats the prob???


8 He sells videos rather than make the world a better place (if he actually could) with his non-existent effect - A DEAD GIVEAWAY!!!

So bloddy what!!!! everyone needs money! all the ufo information( apart from the web) to get it we have to pay, books,mags,dvds, it does not mean they are bad or anything, they are just making money, just like i would.. Money makes the world go round, so if he is making a bit of money, so bloody what. Its his job


9 He has been charged with fraud before

Well, i have looked on the web and cant find anything about him being charged for fraud because of his experiments. Also i understand that if it it proven that he is a fake, then he will be sued by the tv companies that have wasted time and effort on him.

I have looked into this, more than you by the sounds of it. Im not saying a 100% that its all true, but i have not seen any evidence to say it not. Sorry for having a bit of faith in something that could be true. I love the subject of the paranormal, and i know a great deal about it. I have an open mind and i just dont believe something unless i have a reason to believe. You can carry on feeling the way you do, but until i see hardcore evidence that it is fake( and there is none) then i will keep an open mind. But your 10 does not hold up.



morrison1976
your 9,i mean
kitco
hello number 9 i am number 8!
for this effect to be scientifically correct would it not have to be properly recorded and examined by someone who is not a crock!
morrison1976
read above, or even find out more information about him. Like i said, before, im not saying its 100% real, but what i have seen and read, i am keeping an open mind, and theres nothing wrong with that.
kitco
possibly super frequencies vibrate throughout the metal at a slower rate than air and molecules around it to morph and mutate and disappear into abyss, i'm sure the government has it down pact by now tongue.gif
morrison1976
lol, maybe. But all we can do is keep an open mind, unless proven otherwise original.gif
donrobison
could you produce the details of his theory? Im only guessing he has an explination for his effect, but I would like to know his model for his effect. What is the hutchison model?
morrison1976
check out http://www.hutchisoneffect.ca/ and check out other sites about him too. There seems to be alot of mixed reactions about his work

If you want to take it as an insult that is your problem - it was never intended as such blink.gif Likewise, people who believe his bunk are likely to know nothing about physics. cool.gif And he did sell videos, now since the Discovery Channel & Gryphon Productions came on the scene all that is taken care of.

Anyone who critically investigates the videos can see they are fakes. There's obviously those who can't - so you can believe they're real. As I said believe what you like - no skin off my back and no sleep lost either tongue.gif

Well, to be honest, you're here talking about "a world of free energy and the marvels of anti- gravity for the general public, not just those in positions of power." yet you fail to see that he has been pulling people's strings for over 30 years. wacko.gif Really, what do you suggest we do with this??? There's nothing to do except to believe because there is nothing like you're hoping for coming from this guy anytime soon or in his lifetime anyway. laugh.gif What do you think it is going to take for this supposed 'effect' to become available then, that has not been done in the last 30 years???

Watch for the string in the LH top corner of the toy UFO bobbing up and down and don't forget the sway! It'd take me approx. 1 minute to reproduce although if I'd want to convince you I'd have to position the cam right, show just little enough, and make sure the string is not visible w00t.gif

Other than that, it is not my claim of an extraordinary effect it is HIS claim to prove. Which has not been done! To my knowledge there is no theory for it either other than "it comes from zero point energy".

"This page is dedicated to JOHN KENNETH HUTCHISON for his discovery of “THE HUTCHISON EFFECT,” and his great contributions in the field of electro-magnetic physics. I hope you find his research of interest and click on the various links. John Hutchison is a very modest man; he would describe himself as a discoverer, or historical electrical engineer as opposed to an ingenious scientist.



I first became familiar with John Hutchison’s research in the early 1990s from ”THE ELECTRIC SPACECRAFT JOURNAL,” published by a close friend of mine, Dr. Charles Yost; a scientist and inventor. Dr. Yost passed in February of 2005, leaving his gift of memory foam developed for NASA for use in their spacecrafts for comfort of the astronauts' seats. Dr. Yost donated his original formula to a foundation which produces it for the handicap and their special needs in wheelchairs. The memory foam is now produced for commercial beds for those who suffer from pressure point pain. Dr. Charles Yost was a most generous and gracious gentleman. His publication “THE ELECTRIC SPACECRAFT JOURNAL,” introduces scientists to the world with their new theories and discoveries. Thank you – Colette"

thumbsup.gif In the USA, a respected and well-qualified electrical engineer, George Hathaway, has taken on the research and development of the device. As explained, although the device has many interrelated parts, it acts as a single entity. Of the disruptive effects on metals and other materials he relates: "The disruption part of this...system has produced confirmatory physical samples that include water, aluminum, iron, steel, molybdenum, wood, copper, bronze, etc... We have tested various pieces that have broken apart, for hardness, ductility, etc. We have used optical and electron microscopes. "Two samples of aluminum... one of which is twisted up in a left-handed spiral...and another which was blown into little fibres...molybdenum rods which are supposed to withstand temperatures of about 5,000 degrees F... We watched these things wiggle back and forth... In general, a collection of pieces of metal shows that they have been blasted apart or twisted..." In domestic settings where 'poltergeist' activity is usually observed, metal-bending and deformities take place with less vigour&emdashwhich is to be expected due to the accidental field configurations produced as electromagnetic pollution from power lines, radio transmitters, civilian radar, etc., interacts with Earth energies&emdash otherwise known as geomagnetic and geoelectric fields&emdashat locations inadvertently built over fault lines. The following example taken from a well-known case in the UK&emdashthe Enfield poltergeist & emdashshows a typical instance of metal- bending: "It was 10.15 am on 6 December 1977. Janet was leaning on the kitchen worktop, and her mother was sitting down. Both were out of reach of the stove. Suddenly, they both heard a noise coming from the teapot&emdashthe same metal one that Grosse had seen rocking in front of his eyes. Mrs Harper picked up the pot and found that its stout metal lid had arched upwards, just as the spoons had done, bending right out of shape so that it no longer fitted the pot. I took the lid in both hands, and even using considerable force I was unable to bend it back." Hathaway, in his descriptions of metal deformity, clearly gives the impression of intense energies at work: "The largest piece [of metal] is about 12-13 inches long. It's two inches in diameter, of regular mild steel, and a 3/8 of an inch long part was blasted off the end and crumbled like a cookie." However, even the domestic 'poltergeist' displays phenomena where extremely high energy levels are involved, although in the following example, also from the Enfield case, we get the impression that more conventional high-magnetic-field densities are involved: "Mr Playfair...was already on his feet and standing in the doorway of their bedroom, wondering if he was seeing things. "The entire iron frame of the gas fire had been wrenched out of the wall, and was standing at an angle on the floor, still attached to the half-inch-diameter brass pipe that connected it to the mains. The pipe had been bent through an angle of thirty-two degrees. This was a major demolition job, for the thing was cemented into the brickwork, and it was out of the question to suggest that one of the children could have wrenched it out. When we finally dismantled the whole apparatus, we found it quite a job even to move. It must have weighed at least fifty pounds."3 We may ask ourselves what new directions for investigation into 'poltergeists' are open to us in the light of the Hutchison Effect. Startling as it may seem, an answer is there ready-made for us in the almost matter-of-fact information that Hathaway supplies: "Fragments have been analyzed and found to have an anomalously high silicon content, although the original material was not silicon steel...a standing piece is 5-6 inches tall, 1 and 1/4 inches in diameter and is a piece of case-hardened steel... The case-hardening has been blown off at the top and about 3/4 of an inch of it vaporized during an experiment...a piece of iron was analyzed for composition which showed anomalously high amounts of copper...wood particles were also found inside a piece of aluminum..." Evidently, the energies involved are able to reorganize materials in a way that is virtually impossible by any other means, but we are now provided with a previously unheard-of perspective. From the Hutchison experiments, it is clear that an analysis of the composition of metals at the 'poltergeist' site, in order to detect similar mixture-anomalies, is an essential investigative procedure. Although we may shelve theories of psychokinesis and separate them out from 'poltergeist' activity as belonging to dice-throwing experiments or the spoon-bending of Uri Geller, the weird physical antics of the mixing and matching fields of the Hutchison Effect provide us with something far stranger. This underscores the point made earlier that although it sounds as if the enigma of the 'poltergeist' is being diminished by identifying it as electromagnetic field activity, in actual fact the mystery is merely being redirected. Physicists and electrical engineers should now reconsider the nature of severely modulated electromagnetic fields, for there are evidently previously unrealized potentials. The energies involved in the Hutchison Effect are clearly the same ones at work during 'poltergeist' activity, and it is only the ignorance and entrenched positions of the psychical research fraternity that prevent them from accepting these insights into electromagnetic energy potentials. These energies include weird thermal effects. During Hutchison's experiments, flames have been produced and emitted from blocks of concrete, and fires have broken out in different parts of the building where the device was housed. Again, these effects are typical of 'poltergeist' reports. On one occasion, a steel file was held in place against a wooden board by two plywood struts, to prevent it taking off. The file glowed white-hot, but the board when examined afterwards was not even singed. Such mischievous thermal antics of 'phantom arsonists' have been attributed to the 'spirit energy of the poltergeist', whatever that may be, but Hathaway's warnings are more to do with effective safety practices in the laboratory: "From time to time there are scorch marks on the boards from other experiments. The apparatus makes fire spontaneously in parts of the lab, if you're not careful." The device can also induce unusual aurora-like lighting effects in mid-air. Once when Hutchison was filming in 1981, a sheet of iridescence suddenly descended between the camera and some of the hardware being used. It had a strange pinkish center to it, and after it hovered there for a short period it vanished just as suddenly as it had appeared. Hutchison actually thought he had been hallucinating, but when the film was developed it transpired that there had actually been something objective there. Once again, the Enfield case provides us with comparable examples of strange, luminous phenomena in a domestic setting, and in this extract they are accompanied by other typical phenomena also explainable within the Hutchison Effect: "The Harpers hoped to find some peace and quiet in the Burcombes' house, but it was not to be. From the kitchen Sylvie suddenly let out a piercing scream and dropped the kettle she was holding. It was some time before she could calm down enough to describe what had happened. 'I was just pouring the water from the kettle into the teapot,' she said, 'when something appeared right in front of my eyes and then dropped onto the kitchen unit top, and bounced once.' It was a plastic rod, about six inches long, from one of the children's toy sets. 'I sort of looked down, opened my eyes, and this thing was in front of me,' she told Grosse when he arrived shortly afterwards. 'I screamed, shouted and jumped back, and after I jumped back I saw the thing jump and come up again.' "Grosse questioned Mrs Burcombe very carefully about this incident, which seemed to be a genuine case of one of the rarest of all psychic phenomena: materialization. The plastic rod had definitely not been thrown at her, she insisted. It had just appeared in front of her eyes and dropped down... But he had already seen too much, in both his own and his sister's homes. He had watched open-mouthed as a lamp slowly slid across a table and fell to the floor, vibrating violently. He had seen a drawer open by itself. He had felt an invisible force stop him closing his own bedroom door, which simply stuck half-closed though it normally swung shut on its own. And he had seen something far more alarming as he stood one day at the bottom of the Harper's staircase, looking up it. 'I saw this light,' he said. 'It was the equivalent, I should say, of twelve inches vertical. It looked like a fluorescent light behind frosted glass, which burned fiercely and gradually faded away'..."4 With the insights gained from what is possible during operation of the Hutchison device, coupled with my own findings that 'poltergeist' activity takes place at locations that are electromagnetic hot-spots, we can begin to understand what is going on in such cases. Unusual light phenomena can occur, and on consulting Burke's Handbook of Magnetic Phenomena we find several mechanisms documented where magnetic fields interact with light to produce specific optical effects that are predictable in laboratory conditions, but are obviously most startling when they occur spontaneously in domestic settings. Having stated this, however, the sheet of iridescent light which appeared during Hutchison's experiments also came as an unexpected and surprising phenomenon. In the extract given above, it is not difficult to rethink the apparent materialization of the plastic rod as a typical trajectory of the Hutchison Effect, observed many times and recorded on video. Likewise, the lamp slowly sliding across the table and vibrating could have come straight out of the catalogue of effects similarly induced. In fact, compared with the extreme effects that Hutchison can obtain with his device, domestic 'poltergeist' phenomena which previously seemed so dramatic, now seem quite tame. But as already noted, this lessening of effect is consistent with the fact that the Hutchison device involves a concentrated collection of devices which appear to act as a single entity, whereas an electromagnetic hot-spot occurs by the chance juxtaposition of freak environmental field sources. Unfortunately, the investigators present during the 'poltergeist' activity at Green Street, Enfield, England, in the late 1970s, did not carry out a thorough field survey or identify the field sources involved, despite the fact that a magnetometer registered distinct deflections as objects were 'thrown' across the room. In fact, there is the distinct impression that, for them, electromagnetic fields were not a welcome explanation for the phenomena they witnessed, as the Playfair book relates how they discontinued use of the magnetometer once it showed that power surges occurred in conjunction with physical phenomena: "When everybody was settled into bed, we switched on both tape recorders, Eduardo's being connected to the signal from the magnetometer, and left the room, since I had told him that nothing would happen if we both stayed there. From the landing we could keep an eye on the dial of the machine, and in the following forty minutes Janet's pillow was twice thrown across the room just as it had been the previous evening in my presence. This time, of course, I could not see Janet, although Mrs Harper assured me at once that she had not thrown it. And each time the needle on the magnetometer did indeed deflect, though Eduardo thought this might have been caused by creaking bedsprings."5 It is difficult to understand how bedsprings could cause power surges strong enough to register on a magnetometer (I, myself, have used many types of these instruments during investigations), and even more difficult to understand how they could induce deflections which happened to coincide with the movements of objects. Also, it's a wonder the investigators did not eliminate this as an option, if they thought it was possible, by simply moving the instrument away from the bedsprings. Magnetometers are of course designed to withstand the effects of magnetic fields, and so it is even more puzzling why the following reasoning and actions were employed: "I was a little worried that he might have to go back to his university and report that the expensive instrument he had borrowed without permission had broken down, so we called off the experiment once we were satisfied that it seemed possible that there was some link between poltergeist activity and anomalous behavior of the surrounding magnetic field."6 One of the primary investigators of the Green Street 'poltergeist' in Enfield, North London, was Maurice Grosse, who has given many lectures on his experiences and is now regarded as one of the leading authorities on this kind of phenomenon. On the whole, 'poltergeists' are regarded as discarnate and mischievous entities who home in on the energies of an adolescent focus and who unintentionally wreak havoc wherever they go, although particular locations are usually favored for the most spectacular phenomena. In the course of my career as an investigator, I have discovered that 'poltergeist' activity takes place in electromagnetic hot- spots, and is electromagnetic in nature. However, 'poltergeist expert' Maurice Grosse takes a different view: "Albert's enthusiasm for his suppositions does him credit, but...displays a distinct lack of practical experience of psychic phenomena... I look forward with great interest to the day when flying boxes, stones, toys, heavy items of furniture, plus spontaneous fires and water phenomena, together with the passage of matter through matter, levitation, metal bending, to name just a few examples of poltergeist high jinks I have personally experienced, can be explained by electromagnetic and bioelectromagnetic activity."7 Well, Maurice, this is the day you have been waiting for! In fact, it was "the day" over 15 years ago when Guy Lyon Playfair's book on the Enfield 'poltergeist' was published in 1981 in the UK, when at the same time on the other side of the world in British Columbia, Canada, John Kenneth Hutchison's device was just getting underway and generating all of the physical 'poltergeist' activity you were considering. ELECTROMAGNETIC HYPERSENSITIVITY This is not the place to fully expound my own biological research into how the human body reacts to prolonged field exposure, except to say that the body eventually acts as an oscillator and can add to the electromagnetic mayhem generated at hot spots. That is to say, I would add to the Hutchison Effect by including my own findings, as outlined in my books, which point to 'poltergeists' being electromagnetic phenomena, and my conclusion that there is a bioelectromagnetic aspect where the human body behaves as another piece of electrical apparatus or hardware and re-radiates generalized ambient fields in more beam-like, coherent forms. This is a symptom of an increasingly common clinical condition known as electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EH), caused by exposure to electromagnetic pollution from power lines, transmitters, etc. The condition was the subject for an international conference of medical specialists and academics at Graz, Austria, in 1994. It is treated at the Breakspear Hospital in Hertfordshire, England. However, nobody in psychical research here in England seems to be aware of EH or the work of John Kenneth Hutchison, and there are fixed ideas which are protected with a religious fervor. Freak electromagnetic field conditions which seem to stretch the laws of physics to almost breaking point are not a welcome conclusion, although the history of science is littered with painful upheavals where the established view is turned on its head, and iconoclasts like myself and, unwittingly, John Kenneth Hutchison, threaten the status quo. For example, Dr John Beloff, the Editor of Anomaly, the respected journal of the Society of Psychical Research, wrote to me to tell me: "Whatever the relevance of exposure to EM radiation...it has no obvious bearing on psychic experiences in general." Having investigated reports of apparitions and 'poltergeists' in hot-spot locations for over three years, and measured the fields present with my trusty field meter, this statement made no sense at all. Perhaps the reader will have some inkling of the sort of establishment opposition I am up against, or may even refuse to believe the Hutchison Effect themselves. However, it must be remembered that a number of well-known electrical engineering organizations have been involved. For example, McDonnell-Douglas Aerospace and the Max Planck Institute in Germany, both took many photographs, some of which appear here. I anticipate that there will be a wave of controversy as a result of this article, if the reactions here in the UK are anything to go by, and I would be interested in any constructive suggestions that readers may have.

Although Searl has been dismissed as a con man, there are indications that the ‘Searl effect’ may involve a genuine anomaly. Two Russian scientists, V.V. Roschin and S.M. Godin, carried out an experiment with a Searl-type generator, and observed a 35% weight reduction, luminescence, a smell of ozone, anomalous magnetic-field effects, and a fall in temperature. They concluded that orthodox, etherless physics cannot explain these results.4 However, separating genuine gravity anomalies from electrodyamic artifacts in such experiments is no easy task.

In the 1980s electrical engineer Floyd Sweet developed a device consisting of a set of specially conditioned magnets, wound with wires, known as the vacuum triode amplifier (VTA), which is designed to induce oscillation in magnetic fields. It was able to put out much more power than it took in, by capturing energy from the ‘vacuum’ (i.e. ether energy). In one experiment it lost 90% of its original weight before the experiment was stopped for safety reasons. Sweet later succeeded in making the VTA hover and accelerate upward, with the unit on a tether. He became very paranoid after an alleged assassination attempt, and died without revealing the full secrets of his invention.5

The ‘Hutchison effect’ refers to a collection of phenomena discovered accidentally by inventor John Hutchison in 1979. Electromagnetic influences developed by a combination of electric power equipment, including Tesla coils, have produced levitation of heavy objects (including a 60-pound canon ball), fusion of dissimilar materials such as metal and wood, anomalous heating of metals without burning adjacent material, spontaneous fracturing of metals, and changes in the crystalline structure and physical properties of metals. The effects have been well documented on film and videotape, and witnessed many times by credentialed scientists and engineers, but are difficult to reproduce consistently.6

A Pentagon team spent several months investigating the Hutchison effect in 1983. Four of the investigators came away convinced it was real, while the fifth simply dismissed whatever happened as ‘smoke and mirrors’. Many phenomena were witnessed: a super-strong molybdenum rod was bent into an S-shape as if it were soft metal; a length of high-carbon steel shredded at one end and transmuted into lead the other; a piece of PVC plastic disappeared into thin air; bits of wood became embedded in the middle of pieces of aluminium; and all sorts of objects levitated. Two aerospace companies (Boeing and McDonnell Douglas) have also investigated the Hutchison effect. The problem is its randomness and unpredictability. Indeed, some researchers think that it is at least partly attributable to Hutchison’s own unconscious psychokinetic powers.7

The 2% weight loss Podkletnov says he has achieved with his superconductor apparatus is about 10 billion times greater than allowed for in general relativity theory. Off the record, Podkletnov has claimed that if the superconductors are rotated 5 to 10 times faster than the usual speed of about 5000 rpm, the disc experiences so much weight loss that it takes off.8 Joe Parr and Dan Davidson say they have measured weight losses of up to 50% in a ‘gravity wheel’ – a small wheel with copper triangles around the circumference, which is spun on a shaft by a high-speed motor, between permanent magnets mounted on either side.9

I haven't heard about him being a fraud.

We need more experimental scientists. From my point of view all these dime-a-dozen theoretical scientists are such a drag.


I have and when visited by scientists about his discovery on numerous occasions he has never been able to recreate his effect... On discovery channel the effects in his videos were recreated using misdirection and other forms of trickery.
