What is a Vacuum Thrust
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
According to Kraspedon, a vacuum aircraft would set up a vacuum over one half of the disc's surface. The image in figure 2 shows cathode rays streaming off the upper aluminium surface of the VTA. This produces a deformation or disassociation of the air molecules. The deformed particles then race to rejoin the existing air particles in the surrounding air. In doing so, they leave an almost total vacuum in their wake. The resulting atmospheric pressure of air behind the craft then attempts to fill the atmospheric void created by the absent air, an at the same time | ||||||||
pushes the craft in the same
direction. Kraspedon
states that, depending on the actual current and
voltage used, the amount of potential thrust available is unmatched by
"any known man made force". The size and shape of the craft play
no part in the operation of the device. Different design craft of various
shapes and sizes are utilised into their respective fields for their
desired application. Eg :
There is a tremendous vacuum thrust pressure to be obtained free from the atmosphere. You simply need to understand some basic rules and you can design a craft to any size and shape. |
|||||||||
| Conventional aircraft rely very much on the same vacuum an atmospheric pressure principle to cause lift. With out atmospheric pressure conventional aircraft could not fly. Conventional aircraft produced altitude and lift assisted by the forward motion generated from the thrust of a propeller or jet engine. The actual mechanism that produces the lift is a vacuum that is generated over the wings of the craft. That is correct. A vacuum is generated by causing air turbulence over the curved surface of the wing. As you can see with the illustration of figure 2. The wing is curved on the upper surface and flat on the lower surface. This causes the incoming air to divide around the wing. The air that travels over the upper curved surface of the wing | ||
| takes a slightly longer period to travel the distance over the wing, when compared to the air travelling over the lower section of the wing. As the air traverses the upper curved surface of the wing large eddy currents of air turbulence create a low pressure area over the upper surface. Atmospheric |

| pressure will then attempt to fill the low pressure area an at the same time push the aircraft wing in the direction of the low pressure void. This is the mechanical function that gives the wing its true lift. If there was no air or very low atmospheric pressure, then conventional wing aircraft could not possibly fly. Hot pockets of low pressure air current cause conventional wing air craft to lose altitude while in flight. This is because the air is thinner inside the hot pocket of air which reduces the upper wing turbulence over the curve surface. Which in turn reduces the lift via the vacuum generated above the wing. Conventional aircraft rely very much on vacuum and pressure principles to be able to fly. Should the actual operations of VTA craft be viewed any different than conventional aircraft ? VTA craft simply use the function of atmospheric pressure to the greatest advantage. | ||
The Basic Operations of a V.T.A.
Vertical Flight
 |
On lift off, the craft would utilise the entire top half of the disc shape to generate a vacuum in the upper region of air. This would give all vacuum aircraft the ability to make vertical take off and landings in very restricted spaces, eg. like mountain tops or the roofs of buildings. These types of aircraft make the need for expensive runways and maintenance virtually |
| obsolete. A huge cost saving in both money and natural resources. According to J.R.R. Searl VTA craft are extremely sturdy platforms while in operation. They are not effected by any form of air turbulence including storms, cyclones/hurricanes or tornadoes. Searl states that the craft can even remove the energy from these natural forces an therefore limit the full effects from such natural forces. | |
Forward + Altitude Flight
 |
Kraspedon states that after the VTA has cleared the ground the hemisphere shaped control lever from inside the craft is move forward in the desired direction of flight. This moves the cathode ray generation on the outer layer of the craft in the desired direction, and thus the vacuum is generated in the required direction.The atmospheric pressure |
| will then push the craft into the vacuum void moving it up an forward. The overall speed in the direction of flight is proportional to the current an electrical charge applied to the cathode ray generation on the outer surface of the craft. If a high amount of power is supplied you will have an intense vacuum created, giving rise to an intense atmospheric push on the non ionised section of the craft. | |
Direct Horizontal Flight
 |
Once the craft is at a safe altitude, and away from any ground based obstacles, the operator would place the control lever fully forward in the desired direction, and the electrical current would be increased to the cathode ray generation. The craft could then be free to obtain speeds of up to 40,000 klm/hr. All supplied free from nature herself. |
| The top speed of such a craft would allow it to reach anywhere in the world within 30 minutes maximum. Think of the enormous benefits to trans-continental flight of passengers between countries, or search and rescue operations ? There is no sound or heat generated inside the vacuum field, therefore the associated problems of noise pollution and heat stress fractures are of no concern to a properly designed vacuum thrust aircraft. Noise pollution is virtually non-existent with respect to high speed flight or the built up areas around airports. | |
Descending Powered Flight
 |
On coming into your destination the operator would move the control lever forward to assist the craft to make a power descent; enabling safe and rapid descent from high cruising altitudes. The ability of moving the vacuum only around the surface of the craft allows the craft itself to maintain a total horizontal position in flight. This is beneficial in the |
| larger carrying capacity craft, an also in assisting passenger comfort in transport type vehicles. | |
