Chrome did not render the site (no read permission for the domain; the page text came back stale), so the pages were read with web fetch. The full articles are paid PDFs (€1 each); nothing was bought. Only the teasers were read. The publisher is a German alternative-science magazine with an interest in the topic. [web]
Articles by Rolf Schaffranke (the inventor's own work, priority 1): - "Schappellers kosmischer Energieextraktor" (Schappeller's cosmic energy extractor), raum&zeit no. 37 (1988/89). Teaser: "Dr. Rolf Schaffranke ist den Lesern von raum&zeit aus früheren Veröffentlichungen bekannt." (Dr. Rolf Schaffranke is known to raum&zeit readers from earlier publications.) Archive page: https://www.raum-und-zeit.com/archiv-raum-zeit/jahrgang-1989/. This bears directly on the book's Searl mechanism, which takes its ether-flow direction "from the Schappeller theory" (p.77-78). - "Plädoyer für die Raumenergie-Konversion" (A plea for space-energy conversion), raum&zeit no. 39 (1989). Teaser: "Der Autor gehört seit Jahren zu den energischen Verfechtern der 'Äther-Energie-Theorien' und wird nicht müde, Wissenschaftler zu motivieren, in dieser Richtung zu forschen." The summary says it collects historical evidence for space-energy conversion and includes a 1986 letter from the French nuclear physicist Louis Vallée to President Reagan. https://www.raum-und-zeit.com/produkt/plaedoyer-fuer-die-raumenergie-konversion/ - "Erdbeben durch Atombombentests" (Earthquakes from atomic-bomb tests), raum&zeit no. 44 (1990), by "Dr. Schaffranke". It cites a previously withheld study from a Japanese university linking underground tests to seismicity. https://www.raum-und-zeit.com/produkt/erdbeben-durch-atombombentests/ This is peripheral to the gravity claims. - In NEN Nov 1993, Schaffranke also says he submitted the Gdańsk compilation of Einstein's ether quotations to "Raum & Zeit, vol 2, no 5, 1991" (the US/English edition). Not yet located.
Note: raum&zeit styles him "Dr." The degree is not documented elsewhere in this run.
