Magnetogravitic Tech is the technology category encompassing all systems that use rotating masses, superconducting mass-currents, or gravitomagnetic fields to produce propulsion, lift, or gravitational field effects. It is the engineering application layer of the Magnetogravitics science page.
Science vs Technology
- Magnetogravitics = the science — GEM formalism, Lense-Thirring effect, Li-Torr theory, experimental measurements
- Magnetogravitic Tech = the engineering — rotor specifications, vehicle systems, operational parameters
The Theoretical Chain
Magnetogravitic technology rests on the strongest theoretical chain of any unconventional propulsion approach:
| Step | Element | Status | Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kaluza-Klein Unification — EM and gravity are geometric projections of 5D | Established theory | Kaluza-Klein Unification |
| 2 | Gravitoelectromagnetism — weak-field GR produces Maxwell-like gravity equations | Confirmed (Gravity Probe B) | Gravitoelectromagnetism |
| 3 | London Moment — spinning superconductor → magnetic field | Confirmed (precision-verified) | (standard SC physics) |
| 4 | Tate Experiment — Cooper pair mass anomaly (84 ppm) | Experimental fact (42σ) | Tate Experiment |
| 5 | Li-Torr Theory — anomaly = gravitomagnetic coupling | Peer-reviewed theory | Ning Li |
| 6 | Gravitomagnetic London Moment — spinning SC → amplified Bg field | Theory | Gravitomagnetic London Moment |
| 7 | Tajmar — possible direct Bg detection | Disputed experiment | Martin Tajmar |
| 8 | Rotor array → practical thrust | Speculative engineering | Magneto Speeder |
