Although lack of funds halted the pro- ject, Tom continues his research into Earth-gravity-magnetic connections and has produced a manuscript, with associated diagrams, detailing his theory. mately 23.4 degrees? “When the solar wind, made of high- energy particles, interacts with the geo- magnetic field, it forms a huge bubble with a long shadow-stream behind and around the Earth. The Earth's magnetic field com- bines with the changing solar wind, creat- ing what is called the magnetosphere, which extends thousands of kilometres around us and protects us from the Sun's high-energy radiation. "Solar winds, the Earth's geomagnetic field, electric fields and gravity change by the minute. They are related. They affect one another. They resonate. The exact correlation of these events is unknown and warrants further study," Tom proposes. Computer-generated models of these forces reveal a positive connection between known gravitational values and the magnetic constant of 9.109534 x 10 kg. The gyroscopic frequency of Earth has a direct relationship with this value, or very close to it, ie., 9.1116243 x 1400 = 12,756.274 km = Earth's diameter at the Equator. Factors Supporting Watson's Theory Tom Watson postulates that, "When two magnets are held together with like-poles repelling, by twisting them to just over 78 degrees they begin to attract until they find the neutral point or magnetic null zone at 90 degrees. Is it a coincidence that the Earth's geophysical tilt angle is approxi- The Next Step Tom Watson is currently looking for a company (preferably Australian) interested in and capable of commercialising the principles he has established. This experimental 61-kilogram (135-pound) disc-shaped model houses a main horizontal motor (gyro assembly) with eight outer heavy- metal rims with fibreglass surrounding the gyro. Each of these has individually-powered DC motors. This model produced 5.7 pounds of lift in 1993. On 3 October 1993, this unit achieved 14 pounds of weight-loss while measuring 78.212 foot-pounds of increased torque with no increase in the main motor assembly. During this test, the DC motors produced a resonant sound while running at their maximum speed of 51.209 to 77.07 rpm. This model ran for three minutes at full power before gearbox difficulties terminated the test. NEXUS © 47 AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 1996
