This site presents details and some initial results from Lance's Velador experiment, first run in 2003.
This is the article on the Velador which first appeared in the Citizen Scientist e-zine, 2 February 2007. (This was my first exposure to Dr. Osadchey's Velador experiment.)
This is a followup article posted in the Citizen Scientist e-zine on 6 April 2007 by Dr. Lance Osadchey, in response to reader comments. It contains additional descriptions of the apparatus.
Online textbook in PDF format. My source for beam design formulas.
Vector equations for velocity and acceleration in spherical coordinates. The derivation of three dimensional virtual forces is included, as opposed to the simple two dimensional model available in most engineering and elementary physics references.
Most of the people cited on this web site and in the Citizen Scientist articles can be contacted via this web site. I've also been keeping an online journal here, along with a forum discussion. Full forum access is registration only.
This site can be used for computing sidereal time, which plays an important role in some hypothetical models of the effect described by Dr. Osadchey.
