The Need for New Technology
Cost Structure Proof of the Need Required Characteristics
Variable Costs It requires 22 lbs of expensive fuel to send 1 lb of payload into orbit. Estimated cost per Shuttle launch is 500m, or about 100m per astronaut. 200-1,000 / passenger 20,000-100,000 / launch
Operating Costs Today, NASA, is the only organization, that is capable of inter-planetary manned space flight. NASAs FY2002 budget is 14.5 billion. Handles about an estimated 30 astronauts per year. 250,000 passengers / day.
Development Costs Lockheed Martin Astronautics, Atlas V, rockets took 10 years and 1billion to develop. A new model spacecraft every 2 years.
Feasibility Long range space travel, beyond the Solar System, is infeasible with propellant based propulsion systems.
Viability Commercial space tourism for the masses, is not viable with the current cost structure.

Key Innovation Technology Elements
Electro-magnetism
Time Dilation
Gravity

• Time Dilation Gravity Process Model
• Electromagnetic Time Dilation Process Model
• Electrical Circuit without Moving Parts

5
Time Dilation Gravity Process Model

• Non-linear time dilation causes the effect of
  gravity and not the other way around.
• An Epiphany on Gravity, under review.

6
Electromagnetic Time Dilation Process Model

• Under certain conditions electromagnetic fields
  can cause localized time dilation.
• Will be published when patents are granted.

7
Electrical Circuit without Moving Parts

• An electrical circuit, without moving parts, has
  been developed that can create a force directly
  from energy in effect, change its own weight.
• The direction of the weight change can be
  reversed by changing the electric field polarity
  or by turning the device upside-down.

Three Generations of Device Development

• First Generation Device is a cylinder.
• Second Generation Devices are disc shaped.
• Third Generation Devices are disc shaped with
  more sophisticated electric field generators.

Observations in Basic Physics

• Experimental repeatability.
• Not due to the Earths magnetic field.
• No electric field no force.
• No magnetic field no force.
• Both electric and magnetic fields must be present
  to observe a force.
• Increased e-voltage increases net weight change.
• Increased m-current increases net weight change.

The Post-Newtonian Effect

• Current rocket technology uses Newtons 3rd Law
  of Motion, equal opposite reaction, to achieve
  motion.
• Post-Newtonian Propulsion Technology achieves
  weight change without this 3rd Law. In effect,
  the device folds spacetime to create a force and
  thus, a change in weight.
