The experiment is based on Tom's own proprietary working prototype. Documentation of Test Resu~lts On 15 February 1993, Hawker DeHaviIland of Melbourne tested one of Tom's early devices that dellivered 5.7 pounds of lift, even with a troublesome DC-motor mounting. The motor mounting was accidentally broken While being trans ported from the car to Ithe test site. They repaired Ithe bracket and, after losing an hour, continued with the test-with only seven DC motors operating on fuN power. Hawker DeHavilland was disappointed but still tested the configuration and made the ap,propriate conectjons. A smprising surge of weight-loss was initiated when the A SIMPLE EXPERIMENT The device schematic ,is shown in Figure 1. Rod (A) attaches to a free spinning wheel (B) and the assembly (AB) attaches to a fixed point (C), free to pivot the assembly ill any direction, i.e., a ball joint. 11he entire assembly is placed on a scale to measure its weight. In the southern hemisphere, when Ihe wheel (B) is spun in a clockwise direc tion, the assembly (AB) is pushed in the direction of T,. The reaction of the spin n.ing-wheel assembly is to rise, th us defying the gravitationa~ force (R4). Why? According to conventional gyroscopic law, this result should not occur. The law states that the wheel reacts to the rotational force of the Earth. Gyroscopic law is further compromised when we reverse this procedure. The resijlt is a signiftcant, opposite, down ward force. This difference is substan tial1ly greater than the upward force (R3). The scale will verify these obser vations. Tom Watson theorises that this reaction results from the electron activi ty of the rotating wheel reacting with Itbe overall magnetic fteld of the Earth. 46 • NEXUS AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 1996
