An Experimental Investigation To Determine Interaction Between Rotating Bodies (MSFC Center Director’s Discretionary Fund Final Report, Project No. 279–00–16)

A number of recent advanced theories related to torsion properties of the space-time matrix predict the existence of an interaction between classically spinning objects. Indeed, some experimental data suggest that spinning magnetic bodies discernibly interact with Earth’s natural Fields. If a rotating body modifies the geometry of space-time, then nuclear spins could be used for detection. Thus, assuming a spinning body induces a torsion Field, a sensor based on the giant magnetoresistance effect would detect local changes. Experimentally, spinning a brass wheel shielded from Earth’s magnetic Field showed no measurable change in signals; without shielding, a Faraday disc phenomenon was observed. Unexpected experimental measurements from the non-axial Faraday disc configuration were recorded, and a theoretical model was derived to explain them.
