Leads for review

1. The inventor's own work

• 1997 letter with the empirical origin of Vt (NEN 5(9), Jan 1998, p.19; https://web.archive.org/web/20080105120935/http://padrak.com/ine/NEN_5_9_7.html) [web]. The empirical rule f(MHz) = 37/L(inches), about 9.4e5 m/s. One anomaly "just above the noise level" at 11 MHz with a 3.5-inch superconducting disk, later not repeatable; the latest tests showed no anomalous energy. Patent application filed 19 Oct 1997 for a process to vibrate a superconducting disk in RF and convert reactive power ("vars") to real power. Bears on claims 1 and 6.
• Spinning-superconductor RF experiment, null result (NEN Mar 1999, reprinted from the PACE Newsletter vol 10 no 1; https://newenergytimes.com/v2/archives/fic/N/N199903.PDF; research/files/NEN-1999-03.pdf) [web][read]. Disk spun up to ~1,000 rpm by a sewing-machine motor, RF up to 40 MHz, "No anomalous energy was observed". Bears on claims 1 and 6: a Podkletnov-style test run by the inventor himself.
• Book "Energy, Cold Fusion, & Antigravity" (2012, rev. 2019; rexresearch1; research/files) [web][read]. The inventor's narrative of how Vt arose: Podkletnov's 3 MHz x 1/3 m, Poole's textbook statement that 1e6 m/s is the speed of light in a superconductor, then 20 THz x 50 nm in Pd LENR. This sequence differs from the 1997 letter's own-disk origin. Bears on claims 1 and 4.
• Earlier papers not yet obtained: "Elementary Antigravity" (Vantage 1989, 53 pp.); "The Zero-Point Interaction" (J. New Energy 1(2), 1996); "Force and Gravity" (Infinite Energy 22, 1998); "The Constants of the Motion" (JNE 2000); "A Reconciliation of Quantum Physics and Special Relativity" (2005) and "The Elastic Limit of Space and the Quantum Condition" (2006) on GSJ; NPA video lecture of 3 April 2010.

2. Supporting information by others

• The NEN editor (Hal Fox) published the 1999 experiment and set it next to the "Aspden Effect" and an unpublished report of gravitational effects only above 10,000 rpm. This is context, not a replication.
• Glen A. Robertson (NASA MSFC, 1999, NTRS 19990046249) independently developed a Josephson-junction mass-change mechanism for the Podkletnov effect. This is the root of the junction part of claim 4. His 2012 Bentham chapter is the "planned" ref. 7 of The Flow of Energy and is cited in Gallerati et al., Frontiers in Physics 2022.
• Witnesses and contacts named by the inventor (his account only, no second source found yet): Hal Puthoff (Austin, 1992); James Patterson and George Miley (Anaheim, Dec 1995); Miley's presentation at Wright-Patterson AFB (1997); NASA MSFC (1998); Ronald Evans (BAE Greenglow).

3. Closely related work

• NASA MSFC tests of Podkletnov-type effects: Li, Noever, Robertson, Koczor, Brantley, Physica C 281 (1997); Noever & Koczor 1999 (gravimeter, AC fields, change < 2 parts in 1e8 of g; NTRS 19990023209). These bear on the empirical anchor of claim 1. Per the inventor, the RF configuration was never completed.
• The Natural Philosophy Wiki assessment (third party, a dissident-science society) says Vt equals alpha c/2 (half the Bohr velocity) and cites a Hathaway, Cleveland and Bao null result on Podkletnov shielding. This matches the deep-read identity behind claim 3. Its own source still needs to be checked.
• Charles P. Poole, "Superconductivity" (2007) p.4, cited by the inventor for "1e6 m/s = speed of light within a superconductor". Check what Poole actually says (it may refer to the Fermi velocity) [memory, low].
• Nature 516 (2014), nonlinear lattice dynamics and enhanced superconductivity (Mankowsky et al. [memory, medium]). The inventor cites it as support for vibration-driven condensate states.

4. Historical record

• US patent application of 19 Oct 1997. No granted patent or publication was found. The record goes quiet: likely explanations are abandonment or rejection (the inventor says the patent office denied cold-fusion patents). The file wrapper would decide this. Next targets are USPTO Patent Center and the inventor's own later statements.
• NASA MSFC gravity/superconductor programme 1997-1999 (Li, Noever, Koczor, Robertson) and the inventor's 1998 visit. The inventor says budget cuts stopped the RF runs. Next targets: the NTRS record of later work and the DIA 2010 FOIA survey.
• The inventor's 1989 subsidy-press book, then "Zero Point Technologies" (481 Boyer St, Johnstown PA, NEN Jul 1999), then SPESIF 2011, then Alstom Power career (wiki). The research ran as a spare-time programme alongside an engineering career; no institutional affiliation was found.
