Fiber-Optic-Gyroscope Measurements Close to Rotating Liquid Helium

M. Tajmar, F. Plesescu

We previously reported anomalous fiber-optic gyroscope signals observed above rotating rings at temperatures close to liquid helium. Our results suggested that the liquid helium it…

Anomalous Fiber Optic Gyroscope Signals Observed above Spinning Rings at Low Temperature

M. Tajmar, F. Plesescu, B. Seifert

Precision fiber optic gyroscopes were mounted mechanically de-coupled above spinning rings inside a cryostat. Below a critical temperature (typically <30 K), the gyroscopes measure…

Search for Frame-Dragging-Like Signals Close to Spinning Superconductors

M. Tajmar, F. Plesescu, B. Seifert +2

High-resolution accelerometer and laser gyroscope measurements were performed in the vicinity of spinning rings at cryogenic temperatures. After passing a critical temperature, whi…

Measurement of Gravitomagnetic and Acceleration Fields Around Rotating Superconductors

M. Tajmar, F. Plesescu, B. Seifert +1

It is well known that a rotating superconductor produces a magnetic field proportional to its angular velocity. The authors conjectured earlier, that in addition to this so-called…

Gravitomagnetic Fields in Rotating Superconductors to Solve Tate's Cooper Pair Mass Anomaly

M. Tajmar, C. J. de Matos

Superconductors have often been used to claim gravitational anomalies in the context of breakthrough propulsion. The experiments could not be reproduced by others up to now, and th…

A Note on the Local Cosmological Constant and the Dark Energy Coincidence Problem

M. Tajmar

It has been suggested that the Dark Energy Coincidence Problem could be interpreted as a possible link between the cosmological constant and a massive graviton. We show that by usi…

Local Photon and Graviton Mass and its Consequences

M. Tajmar, C. J. de Matos

We show that non-zero masses for a spin-1 graviton (called graviphoton) leads to considerable gravitomagnetic fields around rotating mass densities, which are not observed. The sol…

Experimental Detection of the Gravitomagnetic London Moment

M. Tajmar, F. Plesescu, K. Marhold +1

It is well known that a rotating superconductor produces a magnetic field proportional to its angular velocity. The authors conjectured earlier, that in addition to this so-called…

Gravitomagnetic Fields in Rotating Superconductors due to Fractal Space-Time

C. J. de Matos, M. Tajmar

This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to the inconsistency of the computations used for extra dimensions and the fractal dimensional approach of the paper. An updated ve…

Extended Analysis of Gravitomagnetic Fields in Rotating Superconductors and Superfluids

M. Tajmar, C. de Matos

Applying the Ginzburg-Landau theory including frame dragging effects to the case of a rotating superconductor, we were able to express the absolute value of the gravitomagnetic fie…

Weight Measurements of High-Temperature Superconductors during Phase Transition in Stationary, Non-Stationary Condition and under ELF Radiation

M. Tajmar, K. Hense, K. Marhold +1

There have been a number of claims in the literature about gravity shielding effects of superconductors and more recently on the weight reduction of superconductors passing through…

Coupling of Gravitation and Electromagnetism in the Weak Field Approximation

M. Tajmar, C. de Matos

Using the weak field approximation, we can express the theory of general relativity in a Maxwell-type structure comparable to electromagnetism. We find that every electromagnetic f…
