in ordinary matter (6).
A few words about Mr. Lyne's ideas are necessary to set a context
for this discussion. Just as an internal combustion engine can
be described as a "heat pump" so can the flying saucer drive of
Mr. Lyne be described as an "ether pump". Ether (very fine
matter) is attracted to the saucer via an electric field, then
pumped through the saucer and out again using the principle of
magneto-hydro-dynamic pumping (7). This magneto-hydro-dynamic
pumping is related to the Hall Effect. Edwin Hall placed a gold
leaf strip in which an electric current was flowing into a gap in
a magnetic field. An electromotive force was produced at right
angles to the magnetic field and the electric current. This
electromotive force was proportional to the product of the
electric current and the magnetic field (8).
According to experimentation by Tesla, ether is made rigid with
high voltage, high frequency electrical energy (9). The convex
shape of the upper half of the saucer projects the electrical
attractive force, generated by a specific electronic component,
in an ever expanding arch over the saucer. Ether is made rigid
and anchors the saucer. This is possible since the total mass of
the ether caught in the electric field is far greater than the
mass of the saucer. Near the surface of the saucer, the
"rigified" ether is pulled into the saucer in what Mr. Lyne calls
"tubes of force". These tubes of force would be pulled right
through the opposite side of the saucer and out if it were not
for the blocking force of a second apparatus which nullifies the
tubes of force and prevents this from happening. This imbalance
is the reason the saucer is able to move (10).
The electrical components necessary for this to take place are,
according to Mr. Lyne, a Tesla turbine to supply electrical power
and two types of Tesla pancake coils (11).
The Tesla turbine is a wheel-like device which is described in
Mr. Lyne's book (12) and elsewhere (13). Mr. Lyne orients this
turbine vertically in his drawings but oriented with its flat
spinning surface horizontally, this might, perhaps, account for
the spinning disc witnessed on some saucers.
The Tesla pancake coils are also described in both sources cited.
Mr. Lyne goes further and gives instructions as to their
manufacture. One type of pancake coil insures forth a negative
discharge of DC energy, tuned to a one-fourth wave length, and is
oriented in the desired direction of flight (14). The other type
of pancake coil is mounted exactly opposite the first and emits a
positive AC discharge which is used to dissolve the ether flow or
tubes of force.
Dr. Gordon Freeman, a Fucannelli-like scientist who knows about
such matters, has been curious about the abbreviated wave-cycle
of the first pancake coil. His position is that one must not
only understand conventional scientific theory in order to
