I ran the video on two players...AOL Real Player and Win Media Player. The smaller wooden disc is on the left and the two other discs are on the right in both 'players".
My apologies to the both of you. I downloaded the clip to see if maybe the download process was reversing the clip. The wood disc was on the left as both of you had stated. The problem was with me. I have been talking about this gravity like phenomena on another thread and apparently got confused about the clip we were referring to. I have a couple other clips showing this attraction phenomena.
The one thing that I am curious about is that you have the Tesla Coil output attached to an iron? plate. Correct?
In this particular clip, the plate attached to the output of the Tesla Coil is pure bismuth. I had obtained some bismuth off ebay and melted it down to make this plate.
The wood probably is effected by the moisture content contained within it, and I also see that it moves only after the metal disc in the middle pulls away from it. Static Electricity? Also what type of strings are those holding the discs in the air?
I am just using ordinary polyester sewing thread to suspend the discs hanging from the ceiling. The reason I have moved away from the static electricity idea as a cause, is because attraction only occurs between oppositely charged bodies. It is very difficult to use this theory because there is no physical electrical connection to the discs to oppositely charge them up. All motion appears to be induced. The physical mechanism to oppositely charge the discs is not present, so some other theory has to be formulated. It does seem to act like gravity because the materials used do not have magnetic attraction properties.
The reason I performed this experiment in the first place was to test out a theory I have on what causes gravity. My gravity theory involves the hydrogen to helium reaction on the sun. To start with I am treating mass as an external field, just like magnetic and electric fields. You may have seen my presentation on my theory that mass is just compressed length. Well during the hydrogen to helium nuclear reaction, some of the mass disappears. I reasoned that the compressed length undergoes expansion into normal spatial length. So the mass drops in value from a higher state to a lower state. It is during that state change that I reason is the cause for the basis of gravity. The length is changing to a lesser value. So actually I have just defined three states of length. Compressed length, changing length, and uncompressed length. I also reasoned that the direction the length is changing is also responcible for the direction of time. The uncompressed length is what is causing the expansion of the universe. It's a nice theory. I like it. But lets go test it out.
Last year I was researching the electrical field around a Tesla Coil and discovered it makes a field that causes negative resistance. Really fascinating. I connected a large coil of wire to a voltmeter and put the meter on the resistance scale. About 1/2 ohm of resistance was measued. I brought the coil close to the Tesla Coil while it was turned on. The resistance of the coil went to a negative value close to the Tesla Coil. Well it turns out that there is an electrical induction field close to the Tesla Coil. But it is a negative voltage value, and the field is non directional. I can turn the sensor coil in any direction and the resistance or voltage value is always negative. I spent a lot of time thinking about this and did notice a similarity between the way the voltage was behaving and my theory of gravity. Everytime the Tesla Coil fires, the voltage level goes from a higher level to a lower level. Just like mass does during a nuclear reaction on the sun. That is how I got the idea to hang some weights from the ceiling to see if there was any type of gravity type attraction going on. I reasoned that there would either be attraction or repulsion of the weights close to the Tesla Coil. Well, obviously there might be some truth in my gravity theory since it worked. It doesn't mean it's the correct theory, but it's close enough to help move forward with the aquisition of new knowledge.
I have two more movie clips of this gravity type phenomena.
Gravity action using Tin radiator
All wood gravity action
I believe this is the movie I was saying the wood disc is on the right. But as you can see with the tin disc I have parked in front of the Tesla Coil, the gravity attraction seems to be a bit more brisk. The next movie using all wood components should dispell any belief that this phenomena is magnetic in origin.
So to me this appears to be another way completely different from magnetic fields to get mass to move. I have an idea to use this type of motion to see if I can make a magnetic monopole. Since electric fields are at right angles to magnetic fields, a reverse thrust effect would be shunted to either field in a right angle direction.
It occurred to me that the aluminum magnetic reaction has a characteristic that suggests a theory. This is the video I am referring to.
Sticky Space
Since it takes acceleration to cause the effect to occur, I reason that with the right weight to magnetic field strength ratio, the aluminum should float above the magnet in the vertical direction. That rings a bell. The element bismuth does float above a strong magnetic field in the vertical direction. But it takes acceleration to activate the effect. In the vertical direction the earths gravity field provides the acceleration. I just bet I could get aluminum foil to float above the magnet. Something I'll have to try.
