[NewCandle] More spacecraft velocity anomalies

[Keith Nagel]

Horace,

I thought, based on your comment about the anomalous force
on the satellite being some two orders of magnitude larger
than that predicted by general relativity, that
this means that the body of the earth itself has a relative
gravitomagnetic permeability of the same order.
I'm not sure this is at odds with your ideas on
the subject.   

>None of these concepts appear to me to be relevant.

My point was just that as several different mechanisms
are found to produce magnetic field, so shall several
be found to produce gravitomagnetic field.

No, this would be Henry Wallace. He has three patents related
to this field, and you can find ascii versions of them
here.

>> We need to get the gravimagnetic permeability
>This does not seem to me to be a useful concept.

Well it seems pretty useful to me. The field of magnetics
presents a large and well documented set of analogs
for the field of gravitomagnetics. If making those
analogies seem strange or foolish to you, then I am
that strange fool. (grin)

>What are FOG's?

Fibre optic gyros. I had hopes that an accelerometer
chip could be used for detection, but sad to say
the cheap commercial ones are just too gross, and
even the very expensive ones are prone to a lot
of spurious signal. The FOG's are much less prone
to artifact, but also less sensitive. Martin Tajmar
has published a recent study of cost/performance
for commercial sensors.  

To make a power measurement, both an accelerometer
and a FOG would be required. They would
also tell us what the gravitomagnetic impedance is.
Even uncalibrated, measuring coincidence of
signals from both sensors makes a strong case
for positive detection of dynamic gravitomagnetic field.

>snip of big chunk of basic NMR stuff

Do read the Wallace work, he develops these ideas extensively.

Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars, and unto this
list that which is this lists.

I'll have to shy off of your other post about casimir,
I'm just not that up on the subject to contribute
in a positive way and it looks like you've been studying
casimatter pretty intently. That paper I pointed you at does
develop a methodology for tackling casimir forces between
particles of arbitrary geometry, and hopefully it
will help Nick come up with an equation for his
particular case.
