Central claims: John Quincy St. Clair (Hyperspace Research Institute, San Juan, Puerto Rico)

Corpus: five US patent applications (2002-2004 filings, published 2003-2006). None reports a built device or measured result except one sentence and one photograph in US 2004/0164824 (the sister applications outside the folder hold the inventor's only experimental narratives, second-hand here; they also supply the Omega value 1.346812891e27 kg/m used in 0209637's stress expression). Text was readable; equations on figure sheets were read from page images by the deep readers. No source gap, but all conclusions rest on the inventor's own applications; no other person is quoted or cited as having tested anything.

  1. Oppositely wound coils of different radii create a negative "spacetime spring constant" and negative mass, which open a wormhole to "hyperspace", a co-dimension where the speed of light is very low (US 2003/0197093; also invoked in 0209637 and 0164824).
  2. "Hyperspace energy" with a low speed of light and so a large permittivity can be produced (or admitted) by a micron-sized braided gold wire coaxial cable, whose radii (8.34 and 7.56 micron) follow from a tetrahedron geometry, and a photograph shows its "white mist" (US 2004/0164824; the one experimental statement in the five documents; fuller, uncontrolled experimental narratives exist only in sister applications outside the folder, US 2004/0200925, 2004/0102810, 2007/0285325, known second-hand through the Investigator).
  3. The "tetrahedron diagram" of ln(mass) versus ln(wavelength), built on the base constant ln(h/c) = -95.91546344, derives the constants of physics geometrically, shows 10 non-redundant dimensions, and shows the electron and proton are the same particle (US 2004/0164824, 0197093).
  4. Electromagnetic stress-energy (crossed electrostatic fields, a static field plus a radio wave, or field angular momentum placed in a metric) produces net lift or propulsion as spacetime curvature pressure, with no reaction mass (US 2003/0209637, 2003/0230675, 2006/0145019).
  5. The size of that force is amplified enormously by hyperspace permittivity (stated as about a trillion times; the inventor's own two speeds give about a billion) or by an inductance gradient on grooved rotors acting with negative curvature (US 2003/0209637, 2003/0230675).

Other stated claims (QE addition; part of the inventor's case, outside the 3-7 central claims)

These are in US 2003/0197093 (paras 0003, 0028-0031, claims 6-16) unless noted. None comes with a number, measurement or built device.

  • Negative mass cools a hot surface rather than heating it (para 0003); refrigeration systems follow because "negative energy cools rather than heats" (claim 8).
  • Differential spacetime curvature on the ends of a carbon electrode gives a voltage, like a chemical battery, to power the craft (claim 9).
  • The wormhole attaches to a magnetic monopole; a monopole field crossed with an electric field gives a toroidal flux and G_zz lift (claim 13).
  • Cold-welded crystals and cold soldering, surgery-less medical tables, folding-space waveguides, teleportation over light-years, an inertia-less craft at "hundreds of thousands of g", and objects moved out of dimension to pass through walls (claims 6, 10-12; para 0030).
  • The tetrahedron's corners touch its circumscribing sphere at latitude 19.47122063 degrees, "where all the large volcanoes and vortices occur on Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune" (para 0028, claim 16). This is the one claim about the real world that a reader can check against published latitudes; the same angle is central to R. C. Hoagland's "hyperdimensional physics" [memory, high that Hoagland made it], and whether St. Clair drew on it is unknown. Also cos^2(19.47 degrees) = 8/9, the inventor's spring-constant ratio.
  • The vector potential is "a more important field than the magnetic field" (0197093 para 0024; 0230675 para 0037, citing Bohm-Aharonov and Feynman); the non-linear winding is chosen to preserve it. The Aharonov-Bohm effect is established [memory, high]; the propulsion use is the inventor's.
  • Cross-reference to an earlier filing titled "Dual Rotor Propulsion System" (0230675 para 0008) that is in no family list found so far.
