Alcubierre - White Warp Drive Machine

Abstract

In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a method of generating negative and positive gravity within thin walls that enclose a spacecraft's space or cavity, possibly with passengers. One wall generates weak negative Ricci curvature and another wall generates weak positive Ricci curvature in their centers. The machine achieves this by electric charge separation within at least two capacitors; each capacitor consists of two or more thin conducting layers and of one or more dielectric layers. In the case of 3 conducting layers, the rear capacitor's conducting middle layer is charged with negative charge while the front capacitor middle layer is charged with positive charge. In absolute value, the middle layers may have more charge than the sum of charge in the layers around them. In another embodiment of the invention, at least one of the capacitor layers in each one of the two capacitors is replaced by a rotating conducting curved plate or with a thin curved drum shaped coil in which electric current flows, in order to generate a dynamic component of the electric field. By using the capacitors alone, the Machine generates a very weak warp drive with negative and positive gravity which can be as low as 18 orders of magnitude less than required by an Alcubierre warp drive's classical (+, )10.sup.27 Kg. In that aspect of the invention alone without a dynamic field, the machine will not manifest any measurable propulsion. In another aspect, the layers are provided with a dynamically changing electric field that in addition to the static baseline of their electric field, the rapidly changing dynamic electric field is in high radio frequency or is in lower frequency but with high spike wave form. By the Harold White effect, this dynamic field dramatically reduces the amount of gravity and antigravity which are required in order to achieve feasible propulsion for space travel. In another aspect of the invention, the space between the two capacitors is enclosed by this dynamic field, which provides inertial shielding of the craft. The invention is aimed at harnessing gravity and antigravity which are generated by electric charges, and which are not part of the gravity expected from the Electromagnetic Energy Momentum Tensor in the Theory of General Relativity.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] FIG. 1 describes an AlcubierreWhite warp dive engine. The middle layer of the rear wall is fed with a negative baseline of 2500 volts. The external layers of the rear wall are fed with a baseline of +2500 volts each and in addition they are fed with an alternating current/voltage from two different bifurcated coils of the same transformer. The size of the transformer is not more than 20 cm20 cm20 cm, unlike in the drawing where the scaling factor of the transformer is higher than that of the rear wall and of the front wall. The frequency of the alternating current can vary between several mega Hertz to 30 Giga Hertz and the power of the oscillator should be up to several kilowatts. The distance between the middle layer and the external layers of both the rear wall and of the front wall is 10 micro meters, which is also the thickness of the Ta2O5 dielectric layers and is also the thickness of the middle layer in both the rear wall and in the front wall. The radius of the 120 degrees domes, i.e. rear wall and front wall is several meters.

[0022] The final optional feature is that the amount of positive charge on the middle layer of the front wall is higher than the amount of positive charge on the external layers of the rear wall. Also, the amount of negative charge on the middle layer of the rear wall is higher than the amount of negative charge on the external layers of the front wall. A potential difference between the middle layer of the front wall and the middle layer of the rear wall which is above 1000 volts requires more than 20 micro meters thickness of Ta2O5 that separates between the middle layers and the external layers.

[0023] FIG. 2 implements the rear Alcubierre wall, or rear wall, by two conducting layers/plates, referred to as bottom layer of the rear wall and by a top layer of the rear wall. The rear wall is thus a capacitor. The Direct Current that is fed to these layers or plates that constitute the rear wall is fed through a middle bifurcation of a coil and is negative. The front Alcubierre wall, or front wall, is also made of two conducting layers that constitute a capacitor. They are referred to as the bottom layer of the front wall and as the top layer of the front wall. The Direct Current that is fed to these layers or plates that constitute the front wall is fed through a middle bifurcation of a coil and is positive.

[0024] The charge on the bottom layer of the rear wall and on the top layer of the rear wall, oscillates between these two layers due to the alternating current that is fed to these layers through a coil. The charge on the bottom layer of the front wall and on the top layer of the front wall oscillates between these two layers due to the alternating current that is fed to these layers through a coil.

[0025] The upper layer of the rear wall and the bottom layer of the front wall optionally rotate one clockwise and one anticlockwise. The oscillations and rotations are meant to create a dynamic gravitational field and thus to reduce the amount of gravity and of antigravity that are required to warp space-time. This implementation is recommended as the first implementation of the invention because it is easier than the other embodiments and more compliant with the Alcubierre warp drive.

[0026] FIG. 3 describes the rear wall and the front wall when they are split into 4 sectors each. Each sector's external layer is fed with a different voltage baseline. This allows the steering of the spaceship which is propelled by the invention. The number of sectors can vary and should be more than two for the rear wall and more than two for the front wall.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0027] In the following description of the invention different specifications are set forth. These specifications are obvious to the ones skilled in the art and therefore, for the sake of brevity, the obvious details are shortly described.

[0028] In FIG. 1. Two tri-pole capacitors are used. The term tri-pole refers to a capacitor that is made of at least 5 layers or interchangeably 3 plates when regarding electrically conducting layers. Items 101 and 105 are the external layers or plates of such a capacitor. Item 103 is the middle layer or plate of the same capacitor. Items 102 and 104 refer to the dielectric layers of the capacitor. The dielectric layers 102,104 fill the space between the external layers 101, 105 and the middle layer 103. The thickness of layer 103 is 10 micro-meters, the thickness of layers 102 and 104 is 10 micro meters. The thickness of the external layers 101, 105 is about 1 mm. Layers 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 constitute a tri-pole capacitor and will be referred to as rear wall or rear Alcubierre wall. For space travel applications these sizes may greatly vary. For example, the middle layer 103 can be 1 mm thick and the dielectric layers 102, 104 may be several cm thick though it is preferable to have a thin middle layer and thin dielectric layers. Quite in the same manner, layers 106, 107, 108, 109, 110 form a tri-pole capacitor. Layers 106, 110 are referred to as external layers or external plates. Layer 108 is referred to as middle layer or middle plate. Layers 107 and 109 are referred to as dielectric layers. Layers 106, 107, 108, 109, 110 are called, front wall or front Alcubierre wall. Layer 103 can also be named the middle layer or the middle plate of the rear wall. Layers 101 and 105 can also be called the external layers or external plates of the rear wall. In the same manner, layer 108 is referred to as the middle layer of the front wall. Layers 106 and 110 are referred to as the external layers of the front wall.

[0029] In this embodiment, the layers form a 120 degrees dome of a radius of several meters. From above, Layers 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 form a concave dome and layers 106, 107, 108, 109, 110 form a convex dome. These two domes enclose a cavity between layers 105 and 106. It is very important that this cavity will be as closed as possible by layers 101 and 110 in order to achieve the inertial shielding which is required by the WhiteAlcubierre warp drive. Failing to do so may result in the loss of the warp bubble.

[0030] Layer 103 is connected via resistor 114 of several mega Ohms (up to tens of mega Ohms) to 2500 volts. See the Direct CurrentDC source 120. Layers 101 and 105 are connected to +2500 volts from the same DC source 120, via coils 115 and 116 of a ferrite, or of another material, core transformer that can transfer several kilowatts of power at radio frequency, several mega Hertz to 30 Giga Hertz of alternating current. Layer 103 can alternatively be connected to resistor 114 by brush contacts and can be rotated by some mechanical means in order to generate a rotational dynamic field as this is another way to achieve a dynamic field. Such an option will be detailed in drawing 2 in another embodiment of the invention.

[0031] An alternative is to use low frequency, as low as 100 K Hz but to use a high spike waveform as seen in graph 121a and a typical circuit for such a waveform is 121 b. The wave amplitude i.e. maximal voltage minus its lowest voltage should not exceed 500 Volts. The output of this circuit 121 b, is from the coil that does not have a middle bifurcation. The reason for this reduction in frequency requirement of about 3 orders of magnitude is not fully understood and was observed in experiments such as of Timir Datta and of Takaaki Musha who used only low frequency and a square wave with steep walls. Both researchers were mentioned in the background of the invention. In that case, if the waveform is asymmetrical, the positive side/polarity of the spike, i.e. the maximal voltage of the wave is fed/received by the external layer above the middle layer and the negative side/polarity is fed/received by the external layer of below the middle layer for both the rear wall and the front wall. The terms below and under do not limit the orientation of the machine. When these terms are used, the Rear Wall is below the Front Wall or the Front Wall is above the Rear Wall.

[0032] Layer 108 is connected via resistor 113 of several mega Ohms (up to seal tens of mega Ohms) to +2500 volts. See the DC source 120. The external layers of the front wall, layers 106 and 110 are connected to 2500 volts via coils 117 and 118 to the negative output of DC source 120. To avoid a short, layers 105 and 106 are electrically isolated from each other by insulators 111 and 112 that from above look like a flat rim. Coil 119 is wound around the same transformer core as coils 115, 116, 117, 118. In addition to the baseline of +2500 volts, layers 101 and 105 are fed with AC via connection points 122 and 123. In addition to the baseline of 2500 volts, layers 106 and 110 are fed with AC via connection points 124 and 125. Coils 115,116,117,118 are wound in the same direction and have the same number of windings. Coils 115 and 116 are isolated form coils 117 and 118. Coils 115,116,117,118,119 are designed to transfer several kilowatts of power in a certain frequency between several mega Hertz to 30 Giga Hertz. The AC power source is item 121.

[0033] 126 is a top view of the circular shape of the invention that is seen from above. 127 is the symmetry line cut along which layers 101, 102, . . . 110 are viewed in the lower part of FIG. 1. Item 128 is the casing of the transformer. 129 is an optional pulsed voltage supply that is responsible that the middle layer of the front wall will be more positive than the external layers of the rear wall. This voltage supply is designed to promise a curvature volume component difference between the Front Wall and the Rear Wall.

[0034] While in the preferred embodiment the charge on layer 103 is 0.247 Coulombs per square meters and the charge on layer 108 is +0.247 Coulombs per square meters, it is desirable to achieve as high as 90,000 Coulombs per square meters in order to allow superluminal space travel. An amount of 90000 coulombs is less than the amount of negative charge in 1 gram of hydrogen. The negative charge on the middle layer of the rear wall, layer, 103, is expected to cause a weak anti-gravity field. This field rapidly decays towards the external layers 101 and 105 and out of the external layers of the rear wall, layers 101 and 105. The negative charge is expected to generate anti-gravity which is not anticipated by the theory of General Relativity, however the field is very weak, for example, but not limited to, by applying the formula

[00003]$M_{\mathrm{Charge}.Math.\text{-}.Math.\mathrm{Gravitational}.Math.\text{-}.Math.\mathrm{Mass}}=\frac{Q}{\sqrt{16.Math..Math..Math..Math.K.Math..Math.{\mathrm{.Math.}}_0}}.Math..Math.\mathrm{to}.Math.-0.247.Math..Math.\mathrm{Coulombs},$

the negative mass equivalent is 1.43310{circumflex over ()}9 Kg, about a 1.4 billion kilograms. Due to the dielectric layers, 102 and 104, the dipoles within these layers cause warp effects that cancel out. The net warping effect of space-time remains of negative space-time curvature, i.e. expansion that decays outwards of layer 103.

[0035] Layer 108 is positively charged and quite in the same manner, using the example formula, it generates a gravitational effect equivalent to +1.43310{circumflex over ()}9 Kg. Quite in the similar manner of description of the rear wall. The effect decays out of layer 108. The resulting order of magnitude of anti-gravity by layer 103 and gravity by layer 108 is 18 orders of magnitude less than required by the Alcubierre warp drive that surrounds or encloses a space or cavity possibly though not limited to, with passengers that travel in space. That means that static electric fields alone, will not generate any measurable thrust if the device is held in place by a suspension rod connected to the ground. That is the reason why the dynamic Harold White effect is crucial even though the ring shaped Harold White warp is not offered in this embodiment. The job of coils 115, 116, 117, 118 is to provide an alternating field to the external layers 101, 105, 106, 110 in order to soften the space time resistance to the static warp. The entire device in FIG. 1 is designed to use the Harold White effect to manifest thrust upwards when held on the ground. 0.247 and +0.247 Coulombs may not be sufficient for propulsion on the ground but according to other indications 1 milli-Newtons thrust from the experiments of David Pares from Space Warp Dynamics and from the experiments of Takaaki Musha, several Newtons are not farfetched and are already sufficient for satellite propulsion.

[0036] The existing inventions did not take into account that it is actually the divergence and not the gradient of the electric field that generates antigravity and gravity. That is one of the reasons that the current invention has an advantage over existing devices.

[0037] FIG. 2 is an implementation of the invention which is fully compliant with both Alcubierre Warp Drive and with the outcome of theories that predict unexpected anti-gravity by negative charge and gravity by positive charge beyond General Relativity. FIGS. 2, 201 and 203 are conducting layers that constitute the rear Alcubierre wall. This wall has no middle layer. Both layers receive the negative DC component of their field from the DC supply 216 via coils 211, 212. Power supply 216 in this implementation provides hundreds of thousands of volts. FIG. 2. 204, 206 are conducting layers that constitute the front Alcubierre wall. They receive the DC component of their power supply from 216 via coils 213, 214. Space 202, of the rear wall and 205 of the front wall can be replaced with a dielectric material.

[0038] The top layer of the rear wall and the bottom layer of the front wall are optionally connected to a beveled gear 220 and rotated, top layer of the rear wall clockwise and bottom layer of the front wall anti-clockwise or vice versa. View from the motor 210 side of the beveled gear is in 620a and from the top it is 220b. The rotation causes a dynamic field that reduces the antigravity and gravity that are required in order to generate a space-time warp.

[0039] Coil 215 is fed by oscillator 219 and the power supply is expected to be of several kilowatts per layers 201,203, 204, 206 of a radius of several meters. The frequency can be of several Giga Hertz with low current or of lower frequency of down to several kilo hertz but with high voltage peaks and preferably not a sinus shaped voltage waveform. The alternating current AC is fed via coils 211 and 212 to the rear wall and coils 213, 214 to the front wall. The idea of this oscillation is to soften space-time and to reduce the gravity and antigravity which is required in order to generate the space-time warp. FIG. 2. 218 is a top view of the device. 217 is a symmetry cut through which layers 201,202,203,204,205 and 206 are displayed. This implementation is recommended as it is easy to implement and is compliant with an AlcubierreWhite warp drive except for the ring shaped warp that Harold White has suggested. It is also important to say that instead of the gaps 202, 205, optionally dielectric material can be placed. The cavities 202 and 205 can be made of a gap, a dielectric material and a gap each. The idea is that such a configuration allows high voltage oscillations between the layers of the rear wall and high voltage oscillations of the voltage between the layers of the front wall.

[0040] FIG. 3 shows gaps between 4 sectors of the external layers. These sectors receive their input voltage like in FIG. 1 but from different sources. The vertical gaps are seen as items 301, 302, 303. The gaps are filled with an electrically insulating material such as Mica. The number 4 is not limiting. Another number of sectors greater than 2 can be implemented. Steering occurs when different voltage is applied to the different sectors of the rear wall and of the front wall. There are many ways to provide different voltage as means of steering and they usually involve the use of digital to analog micro-processors as known to experts in the prior art.
