protective coating the counter tube is essentially an orgone energy accumulator.
The orgone energy within the counter tube was then excited to a lightning-like
state of pointed rays by the electrical stimulus from the GM device. In this
state, orgone energy could be counted by the device. A variety of control
experiments demonstrated that the GM motor effect of high cpm could be explained
only by the excitation of high concentrations of orgone energy within the
counter tube.
Reich obtained a more sophisticated GM counter that permitted
varying the voltage to the counter tube. Like the field meter it initially
counted only the background radiation, but within three days registered 3600 cpm
in bursts and at four weeks showed continuous rotation of the impulse counter,
close to 2000 cpm at 1000 volts of excitation.
Figure 2 shows the power of concentrated orgone energy when
compared to a radioactive source (radium), and so-called cosmic radiation (9).
Figure 3 shows the non-mechanical, functional qualities of
orgone energy by the non-linear changes in cpm with increases in voltage (10).
Figure 4 shows the capacity of orgone energy to charge itself.
Counts were made with the GM tube placed within a 1 cm lead and 1/4 cm iron
cylinder within a one cubic foot orgone energy accumulator. The GM counter was
operating during six consecutive minutes at a steady 950 volts. Note the sharp
increase in impulses after 2 minutes without any additional voltage to excite
the energy in the counter tube (11).
Figure 5 shows the reaction of a control tube kept 100 feet away
from the laboratory for one month. Despite the distance it had soaked up
sufficient orgone energy to yield a rotary motor effect by merely being in the
energy field of the laboratory (12).
The classical view of the operation of a Geiger-Muller Counter
is that radioactivity triggers the gas within the counter tube into an ionized
state. The ionization then lowers the resistance to the passage of electricity
between a cathode and anode within the tube. A circuit amplifies the electrical
flow so that it may be read out and thus register indirectly the quantity of
radioactivity passing through the counter tube. In the classical view then, the
incident radiation indirectly produces the impulse which activates the recorder.
Reich's next task was to determine whether or not this theory held true for the
motor phenomenon with which he was working. Or, could it be possible, he asked,
that atmospheric orgone energy impulses counted by the GM counter tube, were
directly activating the electromagnetic system of the impulse recorder?
To answer this question Reich performed an ingenious series of
experiments wherein he functionally dissected the orgone-charged GM system
utilizing calibrated electroscopes and a volt-ammeter attached in a variety of
ways to the counter tube and GM amplifier. In this way he found that the amount
of energy coming from the tube ranged from 100 to 500 electrostatic volts, a
tremendous amount of voltage, which could not in no way be accounted for by
classical ionization theory. He also found the energy entering the amplifier
from the counter tube was different from the energy leaving it, that it was in
the process of moving through the amplifier that orgone energy was transformed
into electromagnetic energy.
Reich felt that the motor reaction could be improved if he could
simplify the whole system by eliminating everything that stood in the way of the
direct transformation of orgone energy into a mechanical motor force. His first
step was to try an orgone charged, gas-free counter tube in the GM counter. This
failed to produce any reaction. But when he used a specially constructed vacuum
tube that functioned like an orgone energy accumulator (the "Vacor" tube), he
got a powerful reaction. It was constructed with inner parallel aluminum plates,
attached to the cathode and anode respectively. The vacuum was 1/2 micron of
pressure, sufficient to rule out the presence of any gas.
After soaking in an orgone energy accumulator for several weeks,
despite the absence of gas, this tube ruminated a deep blue colour when excited
by an orgone-charged plastic rod. With excitation by an electrical tension of
100 to 1000 volts, the ruminating colour in the tube went through changes
identical to that seen as the night sky changes to dawn, and then full daylight.
It seemed very likely to Reich that dawn and daylight rumination on the planet
were a result of excitation from the Sun, triggering changes in the orgone
energy field of the Earth (13).
With the hook-up to the GM counter, the Vacor Tube yielded
thousands of impulses per second at 350 - 500 volts of tension. This was much
higher than the yield from the usual GM counter tube, which required 750 - 1000
volts to trigger 100 - 130 counts per second, at best. Elimination of the high
voltage circuit between the Vacor Tube and the impulse counter permitted even
higher counts to come through from the tube, up to 20 - 25,000 counts per
second. An electroscope measured the tension between two aluminum plates in the
Vacor Tube. It was an extremely high 34,000 volts.
In 1949 Reich reported his success with the Orgone Energy Motor
Force:
On June 24th, 1948, at 1 p.m., I succeeded in setting a motor
(Western Electric, KS-9154, Serial No. 1227) into motion by means of the Orgone
Energy Motor Force which I had discovered by way by way of the Geiger-Muller
counter on August 8th, 1947... An activated filament of electronic amplifiers,
without any high voltage, is sufficient to transmit the ORGONOTIC MOTOR FORCE.
In order to set the Orgone Motor into motion, a certain
function, called Y. is necessary. This function cannot be divulged at the
present time.
The sources of orgone energy used hitherto are the following:
a) Orgone-charged Vacor tubesb) Atmospheric Orgonec)
Earth Orgoned) Organismic Orgone Energy
No material as is being used in the process of nuclear fission
is required. The succession of impulses can be regulated. The sequence of
impulses is even and continuous. The relation of the amount of used orgone
energy to the tremendous reservoir of the Cosmic Energy Source is minimal.
The speed of the motor action can be regulated. It depends on:
a) the number of vacor tubes connected,b) weather conditions
in accordance with orgonotic functions found hitherto, such as temperature
difference To-T, speed of electroscopic discharge, etc.,c) Function Y.
The functions of the vacuum tubes (vacor tubes), refute the
theories of "empty space." Field actions are due to the activity of the
universal cosmic orgone energy. The strength of the energy field within the
vacuum tube can be demonstrated and measured with a specific functional set-up
(14).
Reich demonstrated the motor to reliable witnesses including a
reporter from a local newspaper. He died, however, without revealing the nature
of function Y. because he felt the world was not prepared to assume
responsibility for what would be an unlimited source of power.

L.A.D.S. IS CAPABLE OF:

ENERGETIC
ALL AT LOW POWER AND AT A DISTANCE
The Lift and Disruption System or the Hutchison Effect is
divided primarily into two categories of phenomena: propulsive and energetic.
The system is capable of inducing lift and translation in bodies of any
material. That means it will propel bodies upwards, and it will also move them
sideways. There are actually 4 kinds of trajectories which are capable of being
produced and I'll explain these shortly. It also has very strange energetic
properties including severely disrupting intermolecular bonds in any material
resulting in catastrophic and disruptive fracturing, samples of which are
described here. It is also capable of causing controlled plastic deformation in
metals, creating unusual aurora-like lighting effects in mid-air, causing
changes in chemical composition of metals (it varies the distribution of the
chemical content), and other long-range effects at distances up to around 80
feet (24 metres) away from the central core of the apparatus - all at low power
and at a distance.

INDEPENDENT QUALIFIED WITNESSES
The system is a single entity, made up of many discrete
components. It has many interrelated parts, unfortunately continually being
added to by the inventor. It was discovered fortuitously by Hutchison, who was
experimenting with early Tesla systems and static machines such as Van de Graaf
generators.
The earliest explanation was given by Mel Winfield of Vancouver,
whose name may be familiar from Dr. Nieper's 1988 Congress in Germany. He
suggested that the explanation for the phenomena was due to a method of making
the electro-magnetic fields spin or swirl in some unknown way.
Pharos Technologies was involved in three phases of development,
the first phase of which was in the basement of a house in Vancouver. This is
where John Hutchison's original work was done. The collection of apparatus which
will boggle the mind can be seen on the video (shown during the lecture and
available from the publisher) and replicated in Figures 11 and 12. That was the
Phase 0 development. Phase I was when we stepped in with some money and took the
equipment from the original location and put it in a more reasonable setting.
Phase II was a third location prior to its being dismantled and put into storage
by John.
The main thing about this technology, apart from its unusual
phenomenology, is that it is highly transitory. The phenomena come and go
virtually as they please. One has to sit with this apparatus from between six
hours and six days before one actually sees something occurring. This makes it
virtually impossible to interest someone who would like to try to develop it, to
assist in funding, for instance. You can't assume that someone will sit there
who is ready to help develop a technology, and have him wait and wait, and
perhaps nothing will happen. It's unusual to ask someone to wait six days for a
phenomena that they're interested in developing commercially. So one can imagine
that we've had some difficulty in the past in financing this program.
Note in Figure 11 one of the Tesla coils in the foreground. The
main coil is 4 1/2 feet (1.4 m) high. It was extremely difficult to get around
in the first lab (Phase 0). The first laboratory in Vancouver was so densely
packed with equipment that you could not find a place to put your foot down. You
had to step around all sorts of objects that were put on the floor.
Disruptive phenomena
In the video a bushing is shown breaking up. It was a steel
bushing about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter by 3 to 4 inches (9 cm) long. John
still has that in his lab and I have some to show as well (Figures 1 and 2).
The next part of the video is well known. I will try to explain
some of its phenomenology. It starts with John warming up the system. To
determine where the optimum place for positioning the test objects, which will
either take off or burst, he put coins and bits of styrofoam where he believes
is going to be the active zone. The first thing that happens is a quarter ($.25
coin) starts to flip and vibrate. Now he knows he should concentrate putting
specimens in that zone and he does so. We see some water in a coffee cup that
appears to be swirling, although it's not. It is merely the surface rippling by
some electromagnetic means and the coffee cup is dancing around the top of a
yellow milk carton. It's another way for him to determine where the zone is.
Then we see a flat file 8 inches (20 cm) long breaking apart. This file broke
into four more or less equal-length sections. Normally, if you break a bar
magnet, you know that you break it north-south, north-south, north-south, etc..
So the parts tend to stick back together again. In this case the segments were
magnetized the wrong way by some phenomena I do not know and they repel each
other when they're put together at the breaks. This may be indicative of the
development of large-scale monopolar regions that are of such intensity that
they disrupt the material itself. It's as reasonable an explanation as I've been
able to come up with, or anyone else.
Lifting phenomena
We then proceed to document some lifting phenomena. The objects
that are lifted in the first part of this section are on the order of a few
pounds. All of them lift off with a twist. They spiral as they lift off. There
has to be a particular geometry with respect to down (gravity) for them to take
off. Some objects, if you lie them on their sides, won't take off. If you turn
them on their ends, they will take off. The geometrical form of the objects,
their composition and their relationship to their environment, the field
structure around them that is being created by the device, all play a part in
how these things take off.
There are four main modes of trajectory that these objects can
follow if they do choose to take off. There's a slow looping arc where the
objects will basically take off very slowly in a matter of a couple of seconds
and loop and fall back somewhere else It is almost as if the Earth moves
underneath them while they are in flight, and they fall back in different
locations. The second type of trajectory is a ballistic take-off. In other
words, there's an impulse of energy at the beginning of the trajectory with no
further power applied to the lifting thereafter, and the object hits the ceiling
and comes back down. A third type of trajectory is a powered one where there
appears to be continuous application of lifting force. I have some evidence
taken from the video. The fourth trajectory is hovering - where objects just
rise up and sit there. The objects can be of any material whatsoever: sheet
metal, wood, styrofoam, lead, copper, zinc, amalgams and they all either take
off or they burst apart, or they do nothing - that's 99% of the time.
Lighting phenomena
Following that is a strange lighting phenomenon. This only
occurred once but fortunately, while John was filming. Incidentally, this early
film, with the most spectacular results observed, was taken by John himself. It
was taken in 1981 and all of a sudden a sheet of iridescence descended between
the camera and some of the apparati and one sees that sheet of light. It has a
strange pinkish centre to it and hovered there for a while, and then
disappeared. John thought he was hallucinating, but when we developed the film
it turned out something was definitely there.
In this same video, we observe heavier objects taking off,
including a 19-pound (8.6 kg) bronze bushing and water in a cup that's dancing
around, the surface of which is vibrating. There are no ultrasonic or sonic
devices in this particular series of experiments. There are no magnetic
components underneath or over top. There are no field coils underneath over top
or anywhere within 6 feet (1.8 m). These images were taken while the apparatus
was performing at peak, and shows best results for the earliest experiments.
Sometimes, instead of lifting objects, John will purposely try
to destroy them. In one case, a 1/4" round rattail file rests on a plywood base
and is held down from taking off by two plywood pieces. Beside it are some
quarter and penny coins. The file is glowing white hot and yet there is no
scorching of the wooden plywood pieces which are holding it down. Neither are
any of the coins affected. This is explainable in terms of RF heating theory
because you can have eddy current heating on the surface and it's almost cool to
the touch very shortly thereafter. It's still unusual that there is no
conductive heat transferred to the wood.
From time to time there are scorch marks on the boards from
other experiments. The apparatus makes fire spontaneously in parts of the lab if
you're not careful.
The original (Phase 0) lab set-up was primitive, crowded, had
poor connections, and had hand-wound coils. However, the films that have most of
the best lift episodes were done in this early set-up, drawing a maximum of 1.5
kilowatts continuously from house-mains.

LOS ALAMOS TESTS
The disruption part of this Lift and Disruption System has
produced confirmatory physical samples that include water, aluminum, iron,
steel, molybdenum, wood, copper, bronze, etc., with many shapes, sizes and
masses. Certain materials are subject to certain influences depending on shape,
composition and other factors.
We have tested various pieces that have broken apart for
hardness, ductility, etc.. We have used optical and electron microscopes. We
have taken SEM's with EDA's (Energy Dispersive Analysis) to determine the
composition at various points.
Two samples of aluminum are shown, one of which is in the centre
of Figure 1, which is twisted up in a left-handed spiral, and in Figure 2 on the
left which was blown into little fibers. Lying on the ruler in Figure I to the
left of centre is a molybdenum rod used in nuclear reactors. These things are
supposed to withstand temperatures of about 5,000° F. We watched these
things wiggle back and forth, and stopped the apparatus halfway through a wiggle
and that's the result. Figure 2 (left) shows the piece of cast aluminum that
burst apart.
In general, Figure 1 shows a collection of pieces of metal that
have been blasted apart or twisted. The largest piece (in the background) is
about 12 to 13 inches long. It's two inches in diameter, of regular mild steel,
and a 3/8 of an inch long part was blasted off the end and crumbled like a
cookie. Fragments have been analyzed to have anomalously high silicon content
although the original material was not a silicon steel. The standing piece on
the left is 5 - 6 inches tall, 1 and 1/4 inches in diameter. It is a piece of
case-hardened steel. The case-hardening has been blown off at the top and about
3/4" of it vapourized during an experiment. Then there are various pieces of
aluminum and steel. On the right of Figure 2 is a boring bar. You can still see
the old tool bit that John was using through it. It was on a shelf about 10 feet
away from the centre of the apparatus and he did not see it happen. It just bent
up into a tight U and deposited a quantity of copper at the bend. The copper
seemed to somehow magically come out of the solid solution, if it was ever in
solution in the first place, and agglomerate as globs at the break. As far as
the aluminum is concerned, it's a volume effect, not merely an eddy-current
surface effect. The whole thing is blasted right through.
Figures 3 to 6 show some of the scanning electron microscope
photos taken by the University of Toronto. Figure 3 shows an aluminum specimen
at about 70 times magnification and the whole surface is torn apart, as if it
was gouged randomly by some mechanical means. It has not been smoothed and
polished and subject to x-ray or dispersion analysis yet. A piece of iron is
shown in Figure 4, and was analyzed for composition which showed anomalously
high amounts of copper.
With a little higher magnification for Figures 7 and 8, we see
what happens in a polished aluminum sample under the SEM. Figure 7 shows two
main horizontal fracture zones.
This is a polished sample, that is why it looks nice and clean.
Notice the unusual globules forming (positions B & C). We examined these
particular globules and they're virtually pure elements. One is copper, another
is manganese and others are different elements. These globules seem to arrange
themselves along planes and these planes are no doubt the ones that split apart
and delaminate into fibers.
Figures 9 and 10 show the relative elemental abundances of
locations H and D of Figures 7 and 8. Normally, the aluminum comes out looking
like Figure 9. The average is mostly aluminum, of course, but with a bit of
copper in it. And yet (Figure 10) shows an area around where the fractures occur
and we see we have actually located one of the copper blobs, plus some chlorine
from our fingers. Usually you see some chlorine and sodium from salt in your
hands if you're touching samples. It's certainly telling us that something
unusual is happening. I have not seen another apparatus which makes the alloying
material in an alloy come out of the solid solution. Usually it's totally
dispersed in the melt but in this case we're "undispersing" it somehow.
The Pharos experimental set-up for the Hutchison effect
PHASE 1: PHYSICAL LAYOUT
This plan view shows the first (1983)
set-up under Pharos' control.
The field-shaping unit is basically an elevated aluminum sphere
about 11 inches in diameter. The essential ingredients of the power supply are
two 15 kilovolt neon transformers. Large steel masses were all over the place.
In his first and most effective experiments, John had a 400 kilohertz continuous
wave generator instead of the small Tesla coil. It's basically a low frequency
radio transmitter that he had switched on for the operation, and it had a 3-foot
whip antenna. Later he replaced that, likely because it broke, with the small
Tesla coil, which is about three feet off the ground and is about I 1/2 feet
high.
This lab was set up to try to attract some more funding and I
personally put it together, trying to pick the essential bits of the apparatus
out and assemble them myself. That is the lab from which a number of these
samples came.
Spark gaps and tank circuits line one wall. There's a 21
kilovolt transformer in front of the inductors from a Picker X-ray machine which
powers a number of these spark gaps. The gaps fire at 60 cycle rep rate. There
is a double-ended "dumbbell" Tesla coil suspended from the ceiling. The large
Tesla coil, the field-shaper, Van de Graaf generator, and a Tesla disruptive
discharge coil are also shown. This latter is a double-ended, iron-core
transformer. The distance is approximately 12 feet between the large Tesla coil
and the small Tesla coil. Between them is what is called the active area, and
that is basically a platform on which we put objects of whatever material we
wish, and hope that they'll leap to the ceiling or burst apart. The main tuning
control consists of several high-voltage variable capacitors and various
inductors.
Figure 11 shows the lab that I set up in 1983. I admit it is
rather messy. I tried to set it up exactly as John had set it up, and so I did
not make nice connections, etc.. I wanted it to be just the same as what he had
done, except I tried to use a minimum number of components. The large Tesla coil
is 4 1/2 feet tall (secondary), a few thousand windings of number 27 or 30
enameled. It has a toroidal coil of about 12 gauge resting near its top. The Van
de Graaf is about 250,000 volts DC maximum. It has an approximately 11 to 13
inch diameter ball. Also visible are various tuning capacitors. You can see high
voltage transmitting caps of very large capacity and RF coils here and there.
Overhead is the double-ended "dumbbell" Tesla coil with its electrodes with the
double toroid primary. Down below, out of sight, is a spark gap that snaps every
40 seconds or so, and in the back corner is the small Tesla coil. It's a double
807 triode Tesla coil which has a nice spot frequency of about 760 kilohertz.
The large Tesla coil, when powered normally, resonates at somewhere around 330
kilohertz.
Figure 12 shows another photo of a later set-up (Phase 2) in
early 1987, where several unusual phenomena were filmed by a television crew and
was shown on the national new This was John's lab before he tore it apart. It is
shown merely to suggest the size and scale of the devices.
Block - Circuit Diagram
The general block diagram shows the Van de Graaf by itself on
the left and it goes through a gap and a capacitor. The gap is never firing to
ground! The small Tesla coil is shown underneath. It is a little experimental
Tesla coil powered all by itself (dual 807 tubes). All components are powered
from a single 15 Amp, 110 volt, 60 Hz supply. The main spark gap shown by itself
is about 3/8" wide which is powered by a 15 kilovolt DC supply across a
capacitor. It snaps every 40 seconds or so and causes a great blast. There is no
time correspondence between the snapping of that gap and objects taking off or
dismembering themselves.
Neither John nor I know the specific function of any of this
apparatus in producing these phenomena, and one of the primary reasons for this
presentation is to foster collective investigation leading an understanding of
what is going on. I do not know the mechanism whereby this assemblage of
components causes objects to lift. I can come to some reasonable conclusions and
explanations as to why this assemblage of apparati causes things to burst apart.
What is not understandable is how it causes objects to lift.
Field strength readings
I should mention some of the field strength readings that we
have taken. Some of these results are shown in Figures 13 and 14. The magnetic
field is taken with a strength field meter using an 8" vertical loop. Electric
field measurements were also made. The top two traces of Figure 13 show the 60
cycle bursts, a classical kind of Tesla decaying waveforms. The bottom four
traces are spectral analyses. The middle left shows the small Tesla coil by
itself with a little side band, but its main peak is approximately 760 kHz. (CTR
is the centre frequency used in spectrum analysis terminology). In this case,
centre frequency: 760 kilohertz; dispersion: 10 KHz, and the vertical scale is
relative strength. The large Tesla coil shown bottom left, (centre frequency:
around 350 kilohertz), is a very messy, noisy spectrum because the large Tesla
coil is not powered in the normal way. It is powered merely inductively. There
is also a peak around 610 kilohertz (middle right) which is probably a side
band. Bottom right has a centre frequency of 300, probably from the fluorescent
lights. We tried to scan from low frequency right up to several megahertz.
Figure 14 shows field strength measurements at approximately 350
kilohertz. We took a relative field strength reading from which I have imputed a
strength in microvolts per metre, the vertical scale going up to about 7,000.
The solid line indicates the measurements that we made with approximate error
bounds, and the horizontal scale is in feet from the centre of the apparatus.
The dotted line is an inverse square line just for reference. There is nothing
very unusual here.
Tom Valone (Buffalo, New York): Are you actually telling
us that you only have 2,000 microvolts per metre as the peak? Its amazing, I
expected at least kilovolts per metre.
George Hathaway: The maximum, if we extrapolate that
curve is about 100K microvolts per metre right in the centre of the active area.
I should caution: this measurement was taken when the apparatus was not working
to full potential. Whether, when major events happen, the field strength goes
way up, I'm not sure. This was a normal run where some slight movement was
happening to make sure the apparatus was functioning, but nothing major was
occurring.
Tom Valone: When you say the field strength may go way
up, how far do you mean?
George Hathaway: 1 have no idea. We were not able to have
the field strength meter at the time as the best lifting was taking place or
disruption was taking place. Therefore, I cannot tell you what the electrical
field strength would be when the major phenomenon was occurring. I could only
imagine based on engineering principles that it would be much higher than 0.1
volts/metre. Don't forget this is only the AC portion of the field.
Something I have a little more control over is an analysis of
the lifting capability. Figure 15 shows a strip of the 8 mm film of that
19-pound bronze bushing taking off in slow motion. This is what I consider the
powered take-off and its confirmed by the measurements. I measured the distance
between the bottom end in its resting position and the bottom end when it
actually leaves the frame and plotted that.
Marcel Vogel (San Jose, California): Look at the
right-hand side at the series of patterns that you are seeing there. (Figure 15)
George Hathaway: That's the pattern of the milk carton on
which this sample is sitting.
Marcel Vogel: Is it a milk carton or is it a reflection
from that surface?
George Hathaway: That's a milk carton. If you wish me to
run the video again with this particular segment, I will and you can confirm
that.
Marcel Vogel: If it was a beat wave you would have a very
valuable bit of information.
George Hathaway: That's true. We also have another
valuable bit of information in the length of the breaks of the file. That gives
us an indication of the wavelength of impinging fields, but nowhere near the
kinds of frequency that I would expect to be required to do any of this. But
that's a good point. One should always analyze the spatial distribution of how
things break for the clues as to the range of operating frequencies.
Now if we plot this take-off and derive an acceleration versus
time graph we get Figure 16. I do not have my error analysis so I can't give you
a standard deviation on some of these points, but the result is that there is a
linearly-rising acceleration curve. There is increasing power being provided to
the object as it lifts! It's a 19 pound bushing!
Increasing propulsive power is being applied to this as
witnessed by this increasing acceleration curve. These are the actual
measurements to about 0.16 seconds and beyond is an extrapolation. The -9.1 in
the acceleration equation is merely an artifact of my measuring problem,
analyzing that film strip. Keep in mind, this means that when it hits the
ceiling, this 19 lb. bushing is traveling at 20 m/sec. (45 mph, 72 kmh) and
increasing!
I am at sea in trying to determine how the device can provide a
lift. In this "Theoretical background" listing, I mention a few names that might
have something to do with an explanation of it.

Finally here is a listing of a few potential applications of

controllable: rocket payload assist, materials handling and warehousing,
floating things into position, materials handling of hot objects, objects that
are highly radioactive or dangerous, forging and casting, extruding of metals,
alloying, power production, conversion, etc., and defence applications.
In conclusion, this is an extremely difficult technology to wrap
one's mind around. I have had a great deal of difficulty in convincing
scientists to think about this possibility, let alone try to provide some
mechanisms for understanding its operation.

were rather unusual, but I cannot claim to have seen anyone else, including
myself, make the apparatus work. Basically that translates into: have the
patience to sit with it and adjust it without John being there himself for hours
and hours.
Jacques Gagnon: Roughly what is his background? Did he
study how he thinks he is doing this?
George Hathaway: That's a good point. John has a high
school education, and he does not have any formal electrical or university
training. He has been experimenting with Tesla coils. In fact, the way he
stumbled upon this was to try to duplicate Tesla's transmission of electrical
power without wires. At an experiment, he inserted the Van de Graaf generator
which he was repairing for a friend.
He cannot explain these things in terms that people who've had
training in these fields would like to use. He talks about energy fields, he
talks about energy moving around and being transported from one place to
another. He talks about interaction between energy and gravity. That is the
extent to which he can explain what his understanding is. He has an incredible
intuitive capacity to follow the flow of energy that he is trying to manipulate.
Something far beyond me. I have no concept of the kind of understanding that he
has. He's been at it since he was about 6 or 7 years old, continuously. He has a
government pension for a medical problem so he has lots of time. Time is
necessary to develop that kind of technology, if you are not concerned about
particular results in getting somewhere. Unfortunately, most of the rest of us
don't have that kind of time and we want to produce something that is tangible,
something usable, something that we can develop into useful products. That is of
very little interest to John per se. He's interested certainly in getting the
technology moving, but not at our pace. And that has been one of the causes of
having this thing sitting in storage and taking a long time to develop. So he
has a good intuitive feel of what is going on. He cannot explain it in words
that you and I could understand, and he's been at it for so long that it doesn't
really matter. He has no need to converse with us in those kinds of terms, and I
doubt that he could.
Dr. Harold Aspden (University of Southampton, England):
I've been greatly impressed by this, of course. It's incredible. I would not
have believed this from a distance, but it's great to see the demonstration and
I have the confidence now that this is a real effect. My first reaction is that
I would want to look at the breaking of the specimens with an eye to what is
called the exploding phenomena. This is where you pass very rapidly, very big
currents through the various wires and they break up into very tiny mm sections,
as if they had been chopped up, with no evidence of melting. This is a phenomena
being studied by Peter Graneau particularly and that should be considered in
regard to rupturing process. I cannot escape from the fact that there must be
some evidence, there must be some action of the ether in this activity.
I think the relevance of the tornado to this is of very great
interest because there is evidence of patterns in fields, circular patterns in
special groups and that has something to do with the magnetic fields that are
created. That, to me, is evidence that you can get some kind of vortex or spin
in the ether itself and I would look at this phenomenon perhaps arising from the
induction of filamentary vortices in spins which tend to pull up these
specimens. Having said that, and suspecting that there's another way, I would
never go over a cup of coffee that's vibrating with a camera just above it,
because my poor head would get in the way of these things and I'd be very scared
to go anywhere near that type of activity. So I am a bit concerned that you can
have all these things happening, and then moving with a camera to take those
pictures! How close did you dare go to the real centre of activity?
George Hathaway: We were within 6 to 8 feet of it. John
respects his apparatus when it's going, and he will not enter into it. He knows
the limits of it and he tells us what the limits are, and we stay outside those
limits. I suffered a severe migraine headache after my first two encounters with
it, but I cannot ascribe them directly to the apparatus. I was so excited after
seeing this thing work for the first time, and the second time, that my mind was
going at 1200 miles per hour, and that is what I attribute my headaches to.
John, on the other hand, has complained of microwave clicks deep inside his
head. The microwave clicks are a phenomenon that has occurred in radar
technicians, where for some time they hear clicking sounds deep inside their
heads. John has complained about that but he has not complained about any major
effects. We perhaps have just been lucky, or perhaps somehow, he has been
protecting us. I don't like to bring up the PK (psychokinetic) end of all this
but it certainly may be relevant.
Regarding Peter Graneau's work, I have discussed this with him
and he is aware of what is going on. He is very interested in following it up,
and as regards tornadoes, it's something as well that might be relevant. There
is film evidence of the fact that tornadoes have very interesting
electromagnetic phenomena going on inside them. Bodies levitating, going up and
down very slowly in the eye of a tornado, and emitting showers of sparks.
Marcel Vogel: I want to add one more thing as a word of
caution. Just taking water and spinning it around a crystal in the wrong
direction I did but once in my life in 1984 and I was flung 10 ft. away from the
experiment against the wall and the next day my face was burnt as if exposed to
intense radiation. My eyes were closed. It was witnessed by five persons. That
was only letting 100 cc of water spin around a crystal that was charged. So you
must proceed cautiously these forces. I speak with experience.
Bernard Grad (Institut Armand Frappier, Montreal,
Quebec): Just one comment. First of all, let me explain that I'm no physicist.
I've had conventional university training in physics but I'm essentially a
biologist and I'm especially interested in the energy fields of living things.
The immediate thing that struck me about your talk is that the phenomena is very
reminiscient of poltergeist activity. I don't want you to begin to think
mystically as soon as I say this: I myself see a lot of poltergeist activity as
a direct result of intense and disturbed energy fields in people living under
specific circumstances. The fact that you noticed that this phenomena is seen
only in the presence of this man and has been working in this from a very early
age implies to me that his organism has a specific need in this regard.
I can tell you one little experiment. I've done work in relation
to the energy. A healer was onstage, and to his side (the audience was facing
him) was his wife sitting at a table, such as you are, with a microphone. The
healer was there, and his wife was sitting in front of the microphone there.
Over on the side of the stage was a generator. This was an unusual situation in
the sense that the generator was there. While he was healing, to the surprise
and astonishment of everyone, a waveform appeared directly towards the motor to
such an extent that it frightened and astonished everybody, but the thing was
able to be dampened as soon as he stopped healing and as soon as she turned the
microphone away. I just want to put some focus on this direction. I think these
are very interesting phenomena, by no means mystical phenomena, I want to
emphasize, but phenomena that can be investigated scientifically. Another total
surprise: he's a person who never had a formal education, but he constantly
speaks of energy field which is, by the way, the way many healers speak.
George Hathaway: We had considered that kind of approach
(the PK psychokinetic approach) as a possible explanation as well. We tended to
downplay that for a number of reasons including the fact that John was very
excited about two particular demonstrations we were going to give for rather
high-powered investors. On both occasions the apparatus failed. One could say
that there was some kind of negative influence, and John's one unconcious side
was fooling his other unconcious side into saying that he was not going to
proceed with this. But he certainly was excited and he wanted to get going
again.
Anonymous: My wife and I are in touch with John Hutchison
regularly and we have a large archive of his information and he has stated that
he does not wish this technology to be used for any destructive or military
means and that he has kept certain information, so that it will not be able to
be used by other people. And this may be one of the reasons why no one else has
been able to replicate exactly what he has done, because he has not told anyone
everything that he is doing, so that's one point I wanted to make and that may
be why no one else has been able to replicate this.
Bernard Grad: Have you tried to selectively isolate
components in the electrical experiment so as to pinpoint whatever may be the
cause of this?
George Hathaway: We were going to embark on a program of
doing just that in our phase of work in 1982, but unfortunately things fell
apart contradictorly with John and we were not able to continue that research.
John has an interest in putting more things into the apparatus, not less.
Unfortunately we were not able to continue.

The obvious primary target for inertial thrust is "parity", i.e.
the ability to lift its own weight, and then an improvement of efficiency and
reliability. However, any demonstration of parity would inevitably allow
unlimited funds for development. It should be noted that even without parity but
with high reliability, the system would be far and away the most useful
dirigible satellite power source yet created and would have a substantial market
straight away for this purpose.
It is my opinion that the RLF project in particular is of
critical importance at this time. It is a complex project and many problems lie
between our present level of knowledge and a practical system. If we were to
embark on this project and fail, the whole field would be set back by many
years. It must not fail.
Theoretical Framework
The question immediately thrown up by Professor Eric
Laithwaite's "Through the Looking Glass" experiments was: "Was Newton wrong?".
To answer this question it is worthwhile looking at exactly what the assertions
were, and what implications are general and which specific. The assertions are:
