LEVITATION... IT IS VERY SIMPLE!
Shironosov V.G.
Such, indeed , is the case in science. First we think that it
cannot be! Then... yes, it is possible. Finally we come to a
conclusion: it is obvious, it is simple.
The temple of charm ( a mechanical, optical and physical study of
the well-known Russian illusions creator Gamuletsky which has existed
up to 1942 ) was famous for its staircase. Going upstairs the visitors
could see from the very below a gold angel's figure levitated in the
air without any support. It was as big as a human being. When coming
up you could see Seraphim lifting a French horn to his lips and
playing it. His fingers moved as if he was a real person. According to
Gamuletsky's notes 10 years had been spent on searching of the
'supporting' point i.e. for the location and weight of the magnet for
the figure to be kept in the air.
Most likely Gamuletsky felt that there were deep inner relations
of the world with the cut-and-try method, errors and calculations. He
made a break-down into the unknown. But further recommendations for
the wonder to be made had not been left.
The other analogous examples known to the people are no less
mysterious. There are two stones near the local temple in the village
Shivapur (India). If 11 persons touch the bigger stone and 9 persons
touch the smaller one singing a magic phrase at a strictly certain
note both stones will rise about two meters high and hang up for a
second in the air as if there is no Gravitation for them. In their
turn Orthodox Moslems believe that a coffin with the Prophet's body is
hanging in the air without any support. As Euler wrote it was said
that Mahomet's coffin was being supported by the force of the magnet
(p.159, (1) ). Is it possible or not? Perelman considers it to be
impossible. If thanks to the magnetic attraction the similar
equilibrium was observed even for a moment the slightest blow of the
wind would be enough it - and then the coffin would fall down on the
floor or would be tightened to the ceiling. To keep it motionless is
practically impossible. It can be compared with a cone standing on its
top. Though from the theoretical point of view it is quite acceptable
(p.159, (2) ).
Different reports on levitation of the subjects in the localized
area are often perceived as something pseudo-scientific.
The way the people had been flying described in the medieval book
named "Witches' Mallet" was explained by the presence of the
supernatural forces: "Witches prepare a kind of grease,...they put it
on the place pointed by Devil and fly up into the air immediately....
Sometimes they fly from one place to another without any external help
thanks to the invisible Devil's force". The ancient flying magicians
are known not only to the black magic. Phoma Akvinsky, a monk, prayed
so hard that he could levitate in the air loosing his weight. It was
happening to sacred Frantsisk Azisky , Tereza Avilsky, Ios from
Karpetino... David Copperfield is an example from today.
Eventually the phenomenon was called - levitation. The
encyclopedia explains it as " a rising of the body up to the air
without any mechanism". But there is no scientific explanation to this
phenomenon yet. Probably it is impossible to do this on the basis of
the concepts and approaches that exist in physics. But we should not
be satisfied with the ancient equivalent which explains levitation as
" a supernatural ability to become light whenever we need , at our
will ". The concept mixes everything up: legends, myths, and all
surprising facts. Actually, everything is much easier. There is no
prophet in Motherland. As early as last century Peter Lebedev ,a great
Russian scientist, described resonance as the most characteristic
phenomenon in the nature.
In engineering and machinery resonance was diligently bypassed.
Until now in the school textbooks an example on resonance (a bridge
has fallen down because of the soldiers platoon marching , though the
military instructions say that bridges should be passed along in a
free step ) is given in the very ordinary way. Resonance can be
explained in different ways.
Two historical events took place at one and the same time:
A team of the foreign scientists of three persons was rewarded
with the Nobel Prize. The non-resonant levitation of the charged
particles in the electronic traps without feedback had been carried
levitation was still considered to be impossible.
A team of the Russian scientists of three persons has proved
theoretically and experimentally (for macro-body) the possibility of
resonant confinement of bodies and particles (from elementary up to
macro ) in inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields without any external
feedback ( Letters to JTP, JPT, RAS USSR, 1983). The idea itself was
suggested as early as in 1972 (Filatov A.I.).
As it had happened many times in our country the work of the
scientists has not been noticed. From both theoretical and
experimental points of view a break-down has been made and the bases
for the new technologies have been laid. The possibility of the
resonant selective hanging up of the bodies and particles in the
inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields without any external feedback has
been demonstrated. For the non-professionals: such small subjects as
"pens and pencils" were levitating without any support inside the
installation in the course of the experiment. The foundations for the
new resonance technologies have been laid by those experiments. It was
the basis for the great improvement of the economy
As a result in 1989 that research 'was rewarded'. The scientific
subdivision was excluded from the Academy of Sciences as if "it was
not working effectively". A bridge between the science and the budget
was broken. A great improvement turned out to be a defeat. A flight
appeared to be a fall.
It is very difficult to survive, but we must not betray our
Motherland. It is a sin. The first ready to fly will be the winner.
For the resonance tech need to have the wings - this is the reason why
the Scientific-Research Center "IKAR" was born. The international
information system on resonance technologies with the electron
carriers will serve to reach th aim. "MIS - RT" is supposed to be
produced in SRC "IKAR" in Izhevsk.
Resonance was called " the most characteristic state for the
nature " by Lebedev, a Russian scientist. According to the latest data
it is a very stable state, probably, the most one. History is a
witness to this: as long as a man had not tried to interfere in the
earth's processes there were no disasters on Earth. By now a man has
been lost in serious diseases. Our body consists of the synchronous
frame of the ordered resonant - interacting molecules. Each cell has a
clock which strikes the time. In case if one or another cell dies or
does not react correctly the whole body will start suffering.
Sometimes it leads to death. The very same processes take place in a
human society.
It looks as if in Russia a chain reaction has started its work.
Tens of streams used resonance technologies are pulsing in many
regions of the country: laser; resonance mechanisms, tools, flying
machines, conveyers considering their high quality technical
parameters they differ from those we have now; new systems of
activation of liquid medium which allow consumption of energy to be
much reduced - e.g. when purifying water to have it free from
chlorine, dioxine or when intensifying the technological processes in
agriculture , food production, building construction, e so on; unique
high effective installations with low energy and non-contact influence
where the resonance effect is used to treat and prevent different
kinds of diseases.
By now it is possible to recognize the most promising directions
in the area of resonance technologies:
Development of resonant traps for the particles of different
types and size ( from elementary up to macro ) without an external
feedback; investigation of properties and dynamics of the certain
particles in the traps ( including electrons, atoms and molecules with
their further packing on a board - this is a molecular technology );
development of resonant traps where plasma is to be used; self -
confinement plasma;
Development of the new non-contact methods for prophylactics,
treatment and diagnostics on the basis of effect of resonant fields on
biological systems; biochemical reaction control;
Selective separation of different kinds of powders (magnetic,
ferromagnetic, abrasive etc.) for magnetic information carriers
(magnetic disks, tapes ) in particular;
New resonant supersensitive sensors of the fields
(electromagnetic, acoustic, hydrodynamic, seismic, gravitational );
Robotization i.e. spatial non-contact orientation, confinement
and controlling of microparts when assembling systems, instruments and
devices;
Weighing, confinement and movement of bodies ( engine rotors,
toys, transport where a magnetic suspension is used ).
A program package 'OPUS' has been developed to provide digital
and analytical experiments by means of computer. 'OPUS' is based on
generalization of the corresponding methods to find and research the
periodic solutions stability for Langrange's systems using the
critical points of the S-function and for the systems described by the
differential equations as well. In an analytic form in the
n-approximation (n = 1, 2, 3,... ) it is available -to calculate the
stable weighing areas of bodies and particles ( from elementary to
macro ) without an external feedback in and out of the resonant range;
-to find the periodic solutions of the differential equations
which do not contain an explicit small parameter, dissipation and
disturbance are taken into consideration;
-to analyze the non-linear system stability near the periodical
solutions;
-to optimize the system dynamics by the parameters of the problem;
-to determine the spectrum and conditions of the chaos
originating in the non-linear systems. 'OPUS' is a step on the way to
control the levitation of bodies and particles and their movement to
space.
Is it possible for Russia to survive and fly up as 'IKAR' or not?
Even without wings a flight is a stable state. SRC 'IKAR' would be
glad to cooperate with the scientists who are interested in this
technologies ( please , contact us: tel. ( 341-2 ) - 211-760;

P.S. (for the specialists):
Impossibility of levitation is usually based on the strict
statement (Braunbec) that it is impossible to build up a stable
configuration using non-conducting charged or magnetized bodies
(Irnshow's theorem) in a medium with dielectric permittivity or
magnetic permeability higher or equal to 1. It occurs due to the
following fact: there are the only special points so called 'saddle
points' for the potential energy of any body in the static field
(electrical, magnetic, gravitational...) with no sources of the field
in the area of weighing i.e. there are no stable 'pits' where a body
can be settled. In one direction the body will correspondingly be
involved into the area of weighing and in the other one it will be
pushed out.
But what is forbidden in statics may turn out to be allowed in
dynamics ( in the variable fields when the bodies are moving
themselves ). Perhaps the first statement of this could have been seen
in Mathieu's work (1838 ) devoted to the problem of the diaphragm
vibration.
It turned out to be that in the corresponding equation (Mathieu's
one):
..
X +(h+2e*cos(2*Z))*X=0 (1)
where X = dX / dz , z = w * t, w is frequency of vibration ,a dynamic
stability of the unstable state in statics ( h<0 ) out of the
resonance area had simultaneously been assumed and described. An
example of this is a dynamic stability of the inverted pendulum with a
vibrating point of a support described by ( 1 ) at small angles of its
deviation from a vertical.
Simple reasonings show that at large w vibration of the point of
the support of the pendulum is equivalent to the appearance of the
effective returning force to a vertical. When the rod of the pendulum
is accelerated downwards the angle X decreases by X1 accordingly a
deviating moment of the forces decreases when the rod keeps on moving
up. As a consequence, the angle ( X-X1 ) will increase only by X2<X1.
Thus, in spite of the fact that the vibrating force constantly changes
its direction in the average it operates to the vertical reducing X.
As a result the pendulum will occupy the place directly opposite to
the normal one. In the resonance area for the systems described by the
equation (1) the stability is disturbed and the amplitude of
oscillation will be enhanced without limit.
For the first time a state stability of the inverted pendulum
seems to have been pointed out by B. Van der Pol in 1925. In 1950 an
effect of the inverted pendulum was gracefully described and
demonstrated experimentally by P.L.Kapitsa ("a pendulum of Kapitsa").
He used a method of approximate solution. A problem on dynamic
stability for the particles and molecules was raised by the scientists
only in 1958. Gaponov M.L., Miller M.A. justified that for the charged
particles the potential holes could occur in the inhomogeneous
high-frequency electromagnetic fields. In 1959 the in the
inhomogeneous both constant and variable electric fields out of the
resonance area were demonstrated by Wuerker R.F., Shelton H., Langmuir
R.V. In 1974 the same experiment for the particles with the own
magnetic moment out of the resonance area in the constant and variable
fields was carried out by H. Van der Heide. It was he who has pointed
out the possibility of the practical use of the discovered effects (in
particular, for the elementary particles and a carrier with a magnetic
suspention). Contrary to the opinion suggested in the notice "To the
problem on flying coffins" [1] H. Van der Heide has marked the
possibility of confinement of a moving constant magnet in the field of
the constant magnet. The situation might have been realized as a
levitating magnet toy ( See the newspaper "Yest ideya",NIO,1995,Fig.2 ).
It is necessary to notice that in general to find a solution of
the non-linear system of the equations which describe dynamics of the
bodies and particles considering the transmission and rotatory degree
of freedom is practically impossible. Therefore most of the authors
have analyzed only simple linear systems out of the resonance area.
More complicated non-linear dynamic systems of the magnet-interacting
free bodies have been analyzed in the works of Kozorez V.V. (1981).
Historically the problems on the motionless resonators as well as
the resonators with the constant frequency were the first to be
analyzed. Later on the principal novelty of the problem on resonance
under the circumstances of the magnetic resonance have been found out
( Filatov A.I., Shironosov V.G.). The key point lied in dependence of
frequency of the model (resonator) on transmission and rotatory
degrees of freedom in the inhomogeneous magnetic fields which in turn
resulted in the initiation of the spatially resonant areas. Due to the
non-linearity it has appeared to be possible to prove "the very
impossible thing" i.e. levitation on the basis of the hybrid
simulation (machine and physic experiments) and modern mathematic
methods. In particular, though it is strange at fi sight the
levitation of the constant magnet in the purely variable magnetic
field in and out the resonance area has turned out to be possible.
(Shironosov V.G., Bonshtedt A.V.).
A great number of effects on the resonance capture and
confinement of the particles in the inhomogeneous fields as well as in
the independent system of two magnetic dipoles (doublets) considering
the equations of driving of their spins has been found (Shironosov
V.G.). Similar experiments have proved the possibility of the
levitation of the constant magnet in the combination of both constant
and variable inhomogeneous magnet fields in the resonance area
(Shironosov V.G.).
Further researches have shown that a phenomenon of resonance is
in the basis of Nature. It explains numerous "anomalous effects" and
the processes of evolution in the animate and inanimate nature. It has
resulted from the common principles that a phenomenon of resonance is
a stable state for the various systems in the nature starting with a
micro level (molecules, atoms, electrons) up to the macro one (the
solar system) and for the biological systems as well. But resonance
does not only destroy , it also creates. At the process of resonance a
system "looses" the least, but it "gains" as much as possible. A weak
effect leads to the macroscopic ones. A vivid example of this is a
resonance stability of the Solar system and molecules. Due to the role
of technologies for our time based on the resonance phenomena it is
clear that they are the most economic, less energy-consuming and
ecologically pure.
