Prologue of history
Recently I dug up a small article on the Internet with a good idea. More precisely, this is one of the chapters of V. S. Grebennikov "My World". Having analyzed this "story" and thoroughly "outflow of water" from the text, I present it to your judgment.
A hoax?
The first impression of the article: this is a complete bluff and bullshit; on the face of all the signs of a mystification, flavored with the death throes to imprint themselves forever in the minds / hearts / memory of descendants. Pepper just rushes from nature, all sorts of bells and birches, bumblebees and butterflies … and in order to somehow convey this to the people abundantly dilutes the action with fiction, a la, how cool I have been flying without gasoline and electricity for several years!
It would not be worth paying attention to this, if not for one BUT - the pictures of the finished device are shown, quite large and clear. And even in action! Post impression: as much as I would not want to become famous and push the linden tree to the masses, but I know for sure - I would be too lazy to collect a model for this, supposedly, a working device … We conclude that either the device is and works, or the cormorant is completely crazy pronounced inferiority complex). I would like to hope for the first option …
The main bummer is this: as you would expect, the pepper gripped the device with the most porous / cellular structure, i.e. a mover without which the whole device is just scrap metal. The photographs also do not show these anti-gravity panels. Grebennikov promises to reveal the secret in the next book, - she came out, when or not, I don't know. However, it is reliably known that our naturalist died in the spring of 2001, possibly taking his knowledge to the grave. The final lead is a friend of his who wrote the introductory commentary on the book. So, the task is: either find the house where our hero lived and worked and rummage around for the presence of a well-known structure, then, a matter of technology (simple reengineering), or we are looking for this friend (perhaps the family and the scientist's archive) and find out the secret …, - more, the same scenario.
A friend of our pepper is Yu. N. Cherednichenko, Art. n.s. laboratory of biophysics, Research Institute of General Pathology and Human Ecology, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, lives 10 km. from his home, is well acquainted with Viktor Stepanovich and his works. Declares that the discovery was recorded on paper in the researcher's manuscripts. The whole action takes place near Novosibirsk in an academic town called VASKHNIL-town. Here is what I learned from the text for those who live closer and will not be too lazy to learn everything to the end: - Grebennikov lived in one of the five-story buildings in the middle of a residential area, around which there are nine-story buildings in two circles one kilometer in diameter. More landmarks: from Novosibirsk in the direction of the Severo-Chemsky there lived an array, crossing the Novosibirsk-Akademgorodok highway, and then, crossing the field, we find ourselves in place (see the map of the Novosibirsk region).

Mysterious insect
Let's move on to the device itself. The effect on which the model is based was called the "effect of cavity structures" or EPS. Like, any cavity cellular structures emit SOMETHING that is not captured by any devices. According to his assurances, the EPS cannot be screened (I wonder how he then regulated the thrust of the platform - in any way, by opposing block panels directed in the opposite direction, but let's understand further). As far as I understand, the panels are based on a rather complex, and therefore rare, structure, which the author discovered for the first time on the chitinous sheaths of a certain insect. What kind of insect is this, the cormorant does not NATURALLY say (I'm all about the signs of a hoax). By the way, this is exit number three for solving the phenomenon,- it is stupid to catch all insects around Novosibirsk and in all species and subspecies to check out under a microscope their sheaths from the bottom side. In contrast to the author's assertions that there are so many insect species on earth that there will not be enough tens of generations to analyze all of them, I will note that there are a limited number of them in the indicated zone and this path is quite real (although we will not follow it, because this and the smart-ass author of the book wants - like, we'll all become entomologists, as one). A few more places where he could catch his mysterious creature: 1. Steppe, in the Kamyshlovskaya valley - the remnant of a former powerful tributary of the Irtysh, 2. Territory of an entomological reserve in the Omsk region, 3. Around Isilkul, - only eleven "entomoparks": eight in Omsk region, one in Voronezh, two in Novosibirsk. Cormorant says that he caught them in the evenings to the light. Let's conclude with a high degree of probability - that the insect flies. The text also contains hints that the pupa or larva of this beast lives in the ground.
Here is literally what he writes about his find: “In the summer of 1988, looking at the chitinous integuments of insects through a microscope, their feathery antennae, the finest scales of butterfly wings, laced lacewings with iridescent iridescence and other Patents of Nature, I became interested in the unusually rhythmic microstructure of one from rather large insect parts. It was an extremely ordered composition, as if stamped on some kind of complex machine according to special drawings and calculations. In my opinion, this incomparable cellularity was clearly not required neither for the strength of this part, nor for its decoration. Nothing like this, even remotely resembling this unusual amazing micro pattern, I have not observed in other insects, or in the rest of nature, or in technology or art; because it is multidimensional in volume,I still haven't been able to repeat it on a flat drawing or photo. " - Aha! After all, the "suckers" fall on their ears … Yes, note that he was examining the BUTTERFLY, and the detail is quite large - is it a wing?
Or here's another small interesting moment: “I put this small concave chitinous plate on the microscope stage in order to once again examine its strange-star-shaped cells at high magnification. I admired another masterpiece of Nature as a jeweler, and almost without any purpose I put another exactly the same plate on it with tweezers with these extraordinary cells on one of its sides. But that was not the case: the piece escaped from the tweezers, hung for a couple of seconds in the air above the one on the microscope stage, turned a little clockwise, slid away - through the air! - to the right, turned counterclockwise, swayed, and only then quickly and sharply fell on the table. - Although, if it is a butterfly, then it is not clear why the plate is CONVERTED, since the wings of butterflies are flat.
Actually, the device
“So, we have the anti-gravity effects of the chitinous covers of some insects. But the most impressive concomitant phenomenon of this phenomenon is the phenomenon of complete or partial invisibility or distorted perception of a material object located in the zone of compensated gravity. Based on this discovery, using bionic principles, the author designed and built an anti-gravity platform, and also practically developed the principles of controlled flight at speeds up to 25 km / min. From 1991-92, the device was used by the author as a means of fast transportation. Just think - it was he who flew in the form of a UFO for ten years !!!
As for any extraneous opening effects, here is another piece: “I tied a few panels with a wire; it was not easy, and then only when I took them vertically. The result is such a multi-layer "chitinoblock". Put it on the table. Even such a relatively heavy object as a large pushpin could not fall on it: something seemed to be beating it up and then to the side. I attached the button to the top of the "block" - and then such incongruous, incredible things began - in particular, for some moments the button completely disappeared from view! " - Well, okay, we don't really need invisibility yet … - we really want to fly! By the way, an interesting fact about the inviolability of the "cocoon" space above the constructed platform: "… the power protection of the platform with block-panels "cut" out of space an invisible pillar or beam radiating upward, cutting off the platform's attraction to the Earth - but not me and not the air that is inside this pillar above it; all this, as I think, during the flight, as it were, pushes the space apart, but behind me again closes it, slams it. "It is very good that the wind does not interfere with flying, whoever drove a moped or motorcycle without a helmet will understand me.
We go directly to the device device. I will cite scanty clippings from the original, and provide them with some comments (clippings are scarce not because I cut them down, but because there are really few of them, but lafs, like "how beautiful the world is" before the place itself). "In flight, my feet rest on a flat rectangular platform, slightly larger than the chair cover - with a stand and two handles, which I hold onto and with which I control the apparatus." - So, the look of the platform was checked out. Everything is clear from the photo and so …
“Having loosened the wing nuts on the control stand, I shorten it like an antenna for a portable receiver, I pull it out of the platform, which I fold on hinges in half. Now it looks almost like a sketchbook - a box for paints, maybe a little thicker. " - We, of course, do not need to disguise the device under the sketchbook, but for the desire to minimize it when folded - I give the dude five points. What remained unclear is - does he put the folded "wheel" inside the sketchbook, or transport it separately? In the next piece there is a small hint: "In a backpack, disguised as a sketchbook, lies, folded in half, which means it is neutralized, a platform with gravitational fine mesh block filters, and between them, also a folding stand with field adjusters and a strap - that's me attach myself to the rack. " - Is it possible to assess the words "and between them",as the phrase "in the space of a folded box"? According to my estimates, even if there were no anti-gravity block panels in the box at all, the folded steering wheel would still not fit in there …
By the way, it is not entirely clear why the author used a bundle of "block filters" and not "block panels", since the word "filters" is used further in another bundle, as I think, in the correct meaning: "Decreasing and slowing down, but this is done by overlapping the blinds-filters that are under the platform board. " - The filter, in fact, must filter something or otherwise "partially pass", i.e. in a sense, "dose". And in the phrase with blinds it is obviously applied correctly.
"With the movement of the handle I open the blinds of the panels again and steeply, with a candle, go straight up." - Everything is clear and obvious. There is a kind of cellular structure of antigravity, in fact, a rectangular (in the form of a sketchbook) board, emitting invisible waves vertically downward, compensating for the attraction of the earth. There are blinds, like slits and flat flaps, these slits temporarily open, and thus give traction to the apparatus. “A flexible cable inside the steering handle transfers movement from the left handle to the gravity louvers. Shifting and spreading these "elytra", I lift or land."
Further, it is interesting to find out how he moved in the horizontal plane: "The upper part of my apparatus is rightly" bicycle ": the right handle is for horizontal-translational movement, which is achieved by the general inclination of both groups of" elytra "louvers, also through a cable." - A strange force, the direction of which can be changed by tilting the blinds, don't you think ?! This is the most incomprehensible thing in the entire description … The only thing that we have learned from this paragraph is that there are TWO groups of blinds. Perhaps on the front and back blocks of the anti-gravity panel - there are also two of them, since the sketchbook folds in half. On the other hand, I am constantly wondering (as a constructor) - how did he turn? After all, one of the solutions to this issue is the presence of a LEFT and RIGHT block of panels,and by decreasing the output power on one of them (or increasing on the other), the platform turns in this direction. In general, I don't know what to think. Maybe someone who read the original noticed something that I overlooked, or have some interesting ideas on this subject, - share …
So, quite recently, I thought: “What if the anti-gravity panels are actually cut into strips and glued to the rotating blinds, then you can adjust the direction of the traction in any direction - it is technically feasible. And the screens of anti-gravity force are actually motionless and structurally, simply, they are located below the blinds."
“I was able to make an emergency reconfiguration of the block panels with half a sin. The horizontal movement began to slow down … - For emergency readjustment, obviously, there is a small handle at the base of the rudder attachment to the platform, so, at first, discouraging me. I think that it is rigidly (by means of rods and levers) connected with the blinds and freely changes position when the handles of the apparatus are manipulated, i.e. duplicates control of cables from the left and right handles. So, to summarize: the movement is controlled by the right handle, by tilting the blinds; weight control is carried out with the left handle, by sliding / sliding the elements of the blinds with a decrease / increase in the working plane of the anti-gravity panel (through the slots in the blinds).
"Self-made, that in a backpack, a device that develops anti-aircraft thrust is not much less than a centner, and the horizontal speed is at most thirty to forty kilometers per minute." - Not sickly, considering the fact that the work surface of the anti-gravity panels is small. After all, VERY SMALL space is reserved for the panels inside the sketchbook.
Okay, let's move on to the pictures of the device in action. It should be noted that the original pictures were of better quality - here I squeezed them a little in jpg. When analyzing the materials presented, I come to the conclusion (I have sufficient knowledge of photography and computer editing) that the photographs are genuine. The author of the device really hovers without any support in the same place where he had previously stood on the ground. The texture of the ground and the cast shadows give no reason to doubt this. It is not possible to jump to this height with such a platform, and the dynamics of the body itself and clothing would easily give it away. So the anti-gravity panel exists and works? !!! Or do I take wishful thinking because I so want to believe it?
Yes, I almost forgot, notice the round object in the center of the steering wheel. Very similar to a measuring device. There is not a word about this in the text. What is an altimeter? Or maybe a speedometer?.. Solid questions.
PS: In general, very, in my opinion, interesting material. Here are just a couple of reasons: 1. - I really want to fly;), 2. in my life I came to the conclusion that everything ingenious is simple, and this is here one hundred percent! In short, guys, the only problem is a very small amount of information on this issue. A huge request for those who live close to the unfolding events to find the original source and learn all the constructive questions. And a request to all in general - share your thoughts on this device with me (preferably on the forum and, if possible, constructive). I want to talk to the same enthusiastic people as myself:) …
A few months after writing this article, I re-read the original more carefully and noticed some unspoken nuances. All clarifications below.
Firstly, in the original, nevertheless, it is written that the prototype of the cellular structure carries the part of the insect's organism. This is the "underside of the elytra" - and they are, indeed, curved. That is, we are not dealing with a butterfly, but with a beetle (flying). Elytra are those parts that, for example, in a ladybug are red and painted with black polka dots, and cover the wings from above in a protective cover. During flight, the elytra expands, and with the help of the detected anti-gravity effect, they help to maintain the fleshy (fat, thick) body of our beetle.
In the description of one unsuccessful night flight, there is such a place, I quote: "… the block-panels on the right side of the carrier platform jammed …". As you can see, my doubts about the design solution to the problem of platform reversal in flight had a real basis. There are indeed two block panels: left and right. Moreover, if you haven't forgotten yet, there are ONLY TWO.
I noticed that the word "filters" is applied somehow incorrectly. It turns out that the author himself calls them so deliberately (on purpose, with meaning, or not?), Here is a quote: "… gravitational platform-filters (or, as I call them in short - block panels) of these devices …". It didn't become clearer, of course. - What does the platform filter?
