Finding read in full: second own experiment (null) [web N199903.PDF; read: research/files/NEN-1999-03.pdf]

"SPINNING SUPERCONDUCTOR by Frank Znidarsic" (reprinted from Planetary Association for Clean Energy Newsletter vol 10 no 1 p 2) in NEN Mar 1999: a superconducting disk coupled to a sewing-machine motor, speed varied by a variable autotransformer up to about 1,000 RPM; disk exposed to an RF field from a tuned-circuit coil, frequency varied (stated "100,000 Khz to 40 Mhz") with taps and a tuning capacitor, spark-gap excitation; 5 litres of liquid nitrogen consumed; "No anomalous energy was observed." Editor's comment (Hal Fox, NEN): appreciates the experimental work; notes the "Aspden Effect" was operated at 3500 rpm, that other superconducting-disk work used higher rpm, and that an unpublished report found no gravitational effects below 10,000 rpm.

Bearing on claims

Claims 1 and 6: a second, documented own experiment combining rotation + RF on a superconducting disk (Podkletnov-like), with a reported null result. Together with the 1997 letter, the inventor's own bench record (as found so far) is one marginal unrepeated anomaly and two null runs. Recheck: yes (open N199605 by page image, N199811, N199907, the JNE 1996 paper and the bibliographies).
