Thorsten Ludwig will be discussing his research into zero point energy and the Casimir Effect, Mikolaj Baczynski will discuss vacuum pendkulum testing with beam balance, torsion beam, and pendulum timing tests that produce a reproducible propulsive force, Bryan St. Clair will be discussing the evolutionary arc of his pulsed inertial engine devices, and Michelle Broyles will be providing updates from the Shell-Woodward lab and her research on Woodward Effect propulsion. We’ll also hear updates from our lab partners, then close with an open discussion and Q&A with attendees. Dr. Thorsten Ludwig will be discussing his research into zero point energy, along with his experiments designed harness the Casimir Effect for sensing and potentially even energy generation applications. Ludwig's work is primarily focused on experimental research, and he has designed quantum sensing devices to help quantify values helpful in future ZPE energy generation research. Mikolaj will share new experimental results suggesting that specific magnetic field geometries may enable momentum transfer to and from the vacuum. Across beam balance, torsion beam, and pendulum timing tests, a reproducible force of roughly 200 µN has been observed in static, non-uniform magnetic field configurations, with consistent results across multiple rotations and setups. While the findings may point to a real effect, the speaker remains cautious and skeptical, framing the work in the context of recent quantum vacuum experiments that hint virtual particles may be able to carry momentum. Bryan St. Clair will discuss his work with pulsed inertial engine technology with a focus on the evolution of his research and experimental designs over time. St. Clair is well known for the construction of a series of robustly built inertial propulsion devices, including the PIE series devices, the “Trammel” engine, and other innovative experiments which have been described as an evolutionary successor to classic Thornson-style epicyclic geared drives. Michelle Broyles has been a long-time contributor to Mach-Effect / Woodward Effect Propulsion research, and will be providing an overview of the research she's conducting in her independent lab, as well as insights into her future plans for scientific research & development of Mach & Woodward Effect Propulsion. Michelle is an active and highly respected member of the late Dr. James Woodward's research team, and has contributed a number of scientific studies, experimental endeavors, and detailed data analysis to the group's efforts. Learn about hands-on engineering & technical research on advanced propulsion experiments by our lab partners. Mark Sokol's team at Falcon Space is full engaged in Dynamic Nuclear Polarization research & testing; Drew Aurigema continues testing and refinement on the Exodus effect propulsion device, and Curtis Horn is focused on Mach effect propulsion on the MEGA-Drive team. Conference guests interested in presenting experimental info to the group are invited to participate at this time, and our presenters will be available to take questions & discuss experiments.
