Martin Tajmar
Martin Tajmar is a physicist and professor for Space Systems at the Dresden University of Technology.[1] He has research interests in advanced space propulsion systems, FEEP thrusters, breakthrough propulsion physics and possible connections between gravity and superconductivity.[2]
Biography
Tajmar completed his PhD in numerical plasma physics at the Vienna University of Technology, Austria, in 1999, and is now an external lecturer for the university.[3] He also published the textbook Advanced Space Propulsion Systems in 2003.[4]
Gravitomagnetism research
In a 2003 paper,[5] Tajmar proposed that a gravitational effect may explain the long-standing discrepancy between the mass of Cooper pairs first measured in superconductors by Janet Tate et al. and the theoretically-expected value.[6]
In 2006 Tajmar and several coworkers announced their claim to have measured a gravitomagnetic version of the frame-dragging effect caused by a superconductor with an accelerating or decelerating spin.[2] As of April 2008, the effect has not yet been observed independently.
In February 2008 Tajmar filed an international patent application for a "Method for generating a gravitational field and gravitational field generator."[7]
In June 2008, Tajmar reported a new phenomenon suggesting that signals could be induced in a gyroscope resulting from a new property of rotating low-temperature helium. He also reported that because the rings in the experiment were accelerated pneumatically, and not with high acceleration, the earlier reported results could not be discounted.[8] His further research suggests the anomaly may indeed be coming from liquid helium in the setup.[9]
