Thomas Townsend Brown
Biography
Thomas Townsend Brown was an American physicist and inventor who discovered the Biefeld-Brown effect in the 1920s while studying under Professor Paul Alfred Biefeld at Denison University. The effect — where asymmetric capacitors at high voltage experience a net propulsive force toward the smaller electrode — is the foundation of electrogravitics research. Brown held multiple US patents for electrokinetic apparatus and spent decades pursuing both military and civilian applications. The physical thrust effect has been verified by thousands of independent replications worldwide, making it the most experimentally validated phenomenon in the alternative energy field, though the mechanism (ion wind vs. exotic physics) remains debated.

Asymmetric capacitors at high voltage experience net propulsive force toward the smaller electrode. 'Lifter' devices hover using thin wire + foil + 20-50 kV DC. The thrust is REAL and VERIFIED. Debate centers on mechanism.
