This article continues the extremely vital search for transportation’s future. CATTCC research has asked many questions in its search. As of yesterday, that one answer providing the blueprint of a levitating vehicle for short-distance transportation solution, may have been noticed or remained elusive. 


Following the convention of aeronautic designs, it constitutes a locked perception of propulsion-based movement. For a short-distance vehicle, CATTCC steadily looks into tradition’s forbidden concepts from the work of Viktor Schauberger, Viktor Grebennikov. Nikola Tesla, T. Townsend Brown and others; who committed academic heresy and were tossed to the lost realm of fringe science.


One of the issues that relegated Brown to that group, holds the same attributes that isolated Schauberger and his flying devices. Both proposed ideas antithetical to the aeronautic industry. They both proposed counterintuitive concepts of flight. Their designs were gravity based, rather than aeronautic. The concept of attraction opposes propulsion; indeed, gravity presents catastrophic potential. Every engineer is flabbergasted at the thought of anything other than propulsion-based flight. Brown, Schauberger, Tesla, Otis Carr, John Searl and others have all been relegated to the annals of quackery. Their commonality? Attraction-based flight.


Science certainly shows that gravity is vital to molecular existence of all matter. The genius of these men were their attempts to control and manipulate gravity. What secrets can be found in continuing their work?



Nature


Nature has three top sources of fast speed. First is the falcon, its 200 mile per hour speed is not attained by propulsion. Secondly, the wind with its fastest ever recorded cyclone speed; over 250 miles per hour. Third is Earth’s gravitational pattern in its rotational orbit as it spins at 1,000 miles per hour in each 24-hour elliptical cycle.


In conjunction with CATTCC’s research of short-distance transportation, the most recent article: Viktor Schauberger’s philosophy held the statement: “comprehend and copy nature”.

In pursuing efficient energy use in relation to motion with nature, Schauberger said the following: “If water or air is rotated into a twisting form of oscillation known as 'colloidal', a buildup of energy results, which, with immense power, can cause levitation. This form of movement is able to carry with it its own means of power generation. This principle leads logically to its application in the design of the ideal airplane or submarine… requiring almost no motive power.”


The specific gravity of water is different than the atmosphere due to density of mass. This is obvious but, it does bring up a question regarding the compositional atomic structures when considering subatomic mass as electrogravitic rather than electromagnetic.


The intent of exploring the question is either a capture of energy or a capture of motion for transportation.


 

Conjecture of levitation


To attain enough ‘oscillation of accumulated vibration mass’ with a vehicle for levitation, applying ‘T. Townsend Brown’s: Biefeld-Brown Effect’ could be used as an energy push that creates an accelerating force from a high-voltage capacitor.


Brown observed that asymmetric capacitors moved toward their positive electrode when charged, leading him to theorize a link between electricity and gravity. Though the effect is now widely attributed to ionic wind (electrohydrodynamics), there is a likelihood for this to be attributed to electrogravitics.

  

Brown’s work is more specific to long-distance transportation pursuit, rather than short-distance levitation. However, it could be relevant. Along with John Searl’s work, and Schauberger’s. 

  

Theorizing a craft’s acceleration is secondary to its ability to levitate.


For centuries, it’s been mankind’s dream to jump into the air spread arms and fly. Stepping onto a levitating platform with handlebars would be the second-choice alternative.


There have been many questions asked to explain the how and why of the principles. Where are the answers?


The article Earth’s Electrostatic Charges, poses several questions. The brilliance of theoretical physics geniuses In the late 1800s throughout the early 1900s, led to the advances present in modern technology. Today’s transportation remains aligned with that era’s three primary technological advances as the only available modes of transportation: trains, cars and airplanes. This recognizes that all advances to modern transportation are adaptations from other industries. 

  

The most astonishing step towards modernizing short distance transportation was allegedly accomplished by Viktor Grebennikov in the late 1980s. A discussion about why: is irrelevant. The only conversation of importance is the possible legitimacy in Grebennikov’s work. Did it actually work, and how can it be rebuilt? 

 

Two detailed articles about Grebennikov are Chitin and Grits and Levitation, Solve for a + b. From the Chitin and Grits article: Victor Grebennikov is known to many as the discoverer of the Cavity Structures Effect (CSE). But very few people are familiar with his other discovery, the one that also borrows from Nature and its innermost secrets. He discovered “antigravitational” effects of the chitin shell of certain insects in 1988. The most impressive incidental phenomenon discovered was a partial invisibility and/or of distorted perception of material objects entering the zone of compensated gravity. Based on this discovery, he used bionic principles to design and build an “anti-gravitational” platform for hovering flights at the speeds of up to 25 km/min. This CSE has a physical reaction. Inasmuch as this CSE field has an effect on biological entities and a gravitational influence, so do crystallization patterns have an electromagnetic effect on electronics.


One of the first steps is to investigate chitin.

 

What is the molecular structure of chitin? The scientific definition of chitin: it is a linear homopolysaccharide composed of repeating units of N-acetylglucosamine (NAG), a derivative of glucose where the hydroxyl group at the C2 carbon is replaced with an N-acetyl group.  These NAG units are linked together by β-(1→4) glycosidic bonds, forming long, unbranched chains.  The chemical formula of chitin is (C₈H₁₃O₅N)ₙ.

 Carbon: C
Hydrogen: H
Oxygen: O
Nitrogen: N


This structure is analogous to cellulose, but with one key difference: in cellulose, each glucose monomer has a hydroxyl group at C2, while in chitin, this group is replaced by an acetyl amine (N-acetyl) group.  This substitution enables stronger intermolecular hydrogen bonding between adjacent chains, significantly increasing the structural strength and stability of chitin compared to cellulose. 


Chitin exists in multiple crystalline polymorphic forms based on the arrangement of its polymer chains:

  • α-chitin: Antiparallel chain arrangement (common in crustaceans and insects). 
  • β-chitin: Parallel chain arrangement (found in squid and some fungi). 
  • γ-chitin: Alternating antiparallel and parallel chains (observed in fungi).


These structural variations influence properties like solubility, hydrophilicity, and mechanical strength. Chitin is insoluble in water and most solvents due to its dense hydrogen bonding network, but it can be dissolved in concentrated acids or specific solvent systems like NaOH/urea or DMA/LiCl.  It is also the precursor to chitosan, formed by partial deacetylation of chitin.

 

It's the assumption that the chitin composition in the specific beetle Grebennikov selected is structured with multiple crystalline polymorphic formed patterns of CSEs.

  

Grebennikov’s design was the amplification of CSE structures.


Because levitation is the accumulation of vibrational mass, a resonance frequency occurs. According to Schauberger: When water or air is rotated into a twisting form of oscillation known as ‘colloidal’, a buildup of energy results, which, with immense power, can cause levitation.


By utilizing this principle, it is theoretically plausible for a specific arrangement of CSEs to be built to produce a reaction of frequency manipulation. Is it possible for the voids of CSEs to create this “colloidal” vacuuming spiral reaction with the electromagnetic structure in the troposphere? The energy flow would be regulated by “blinds” in the CSE configuration.


The troposphere is extremely active with electromagnetic influence. It contains 75–80% of the atmosphere's mass and nearly all water vapor, clouds, and weather.


This line of reasoning leads to presume that the function of Grebennikov’s levitating platform was a void field that didn’t levitate. Rather; it caused an electromagnetic reaction of “colloidal” levitation in the troposphere.

 

In the article: Levitation, Solve for a + b,

Further, Zolotariov gives a formula for the locations of de Broglie wave maximums: D = 2L(N+1)2K, where L is the circumference of the tube, N is the harmonic number of the wave, and K is the number of the anti-node/maximum.


This article by Ville Piippola is by far the most informative source of mathematical evidence to support CSEs. In relation to the theory for the path of particle mass, this article pointing out the de Broglie waves is also very supportive. The thing to point out is what a de Broglie wave is. The relationship in the theory of de Broglie waves is consistent with the new gravity theory; being angular momentum in the linear path of particle mass traveling at light speed.

 

Further study to analyze a regulated void-field to act as a vacuum could be interesting, possibly relevant. Today’s propulsion-based transportation industry mindset, serves to produce the same results and prevents significant technological advances.

 

Schauberger’s suggestion: comprehend and copy nature, remains the gateway to transportation’s future innovations.
