High frequency gravitational wave generator
Salvatore Cezar Pais · US Department of Navy
In one minute
US10322827B2 describes a two-field assembly. A gas-filled shell carries microwave emitters that charge and vibrate its outer surface. Two electrically charged, acoustically resonant cavities counter-spin inside it. Their vibrating walls produce a second electromagnetic field. The patent says propagating gravitational-field fluctuations arise when that field moves through the field from the shell. Its background invokes the Gertsenshtein effect: electromagnetic radiation passing through a static magnetic field produces gravitational waves at the same frequency. Pais also proposes that rapidly accelerated vibration or spin of charged surfaces can raise electromagnetic flux and modify local vacuum energy density. The document gives a design and intended applications, including propulsion, communication through solid material and asteroid deflection. It does not report a gravitational-wave measurement from the assembly.
Connection
The patent names the shell, two cavities, charge, vibration, counter-spin and output. Those details turn a broad idea into an apparatus with a measurable result.
From the source
The patented assembly uses a gas-filled shell with microwave emitters. Its outer surface can be electrically charged and vibrated to generate a first electromagnetic field.Abstract; Description, FIG. 1
Inside the shell, two acoustically resonant gas-filled cavities have electrically charged surfaces that vibrate under sound and generate a second electromagnetic field. The cavities counter-spin for stability.Abstract; Description, FIGS. 1 and 2
The patent says propagating gravitational-field fluctuations are generated when the second electromagnetic field propagates through the first. Its background identifies the Gertsenshtein effect as electromagnetic radiation producing gravitational waves at the same frequency in a static magnetic field.Background; Abstract; Description
Pais proposes that accelerated vibration or spin of an electrically charged surface can amplify electromagnetic energy flux. The background gives fluxes above 10³³ W/m² and a change in local spacetime energy density as the proposed mechanism for mass reduction.Background, discussion of the inventor’s 2015 paper
Claim 2 specifies room-temperature superconducting wiring for the generator. Claims 3 through 5 specify inert gas, xenon as an example shell gas and incongruent wedge geometry for the resonant cavities.Claims 2–5
The summary identifies advanced propulsion, asteroid disruption or deflection, and communication through solid objects as intended applications of the generator.Summary
