The Stavros' Circular Quarterwave Transmission Line experiment
THE EXPERIMENTAL DEVICE OF UPWARD LIFT
created on March 4th, 2001 - JLN Labs - March 18th, 2001
This is the ORIGINAL Circular
Quarterwave Transmission Line device build by Stravos Dimitriou
himself
This device has been presented at the
Propellantless Propulsion Conference at the University of Sussex
on January 20-22, 2001
and fully explained in the paper "Efforts in
developing upward and directional thrust" by Stavros G. Dimitriou
The CQTL device specs : Double sided epoxy board, Radius = 660 mm, Thickness = 1.8 mm, Arc angle = 25 degree
This close view shows the RF Oscillator at about 170 MHz
BD 139 specs : VCB max=80V, VCEmax=80V, VEB=5V, IC max 1A, P.Tot=12WC, hf=40/160 ( Ic=150mA) (NPN)
The circular rim of the transmission line is shorted with a thin copper plate
The Circular Quarterwave Transmission Line apparatus is suspended on its center of gravity by 3 points
Note from JL Naudin ( 03-18-01 ) : I am very grateful to Stavros Dimitriou for sending me his own device for testing purposes .

The CTL mk1 experiment : A laser
beam is used for increasing the sensitivity of the balance
apparatus
See the Stavros's original setup diagram at the top.
BD 827 specs : VCB max=60V, VCEmax=60V, VEB=5V, IC max 1A, P.Tot=8WC, hf=40/400 ( Ic=150mA) (NPN)
The CTL mk1 is placed on pivots screw at its center of gravity

Test Results by JLN: The RF oscillator works very well and I have got some successfull motions of the device as mentioned in the Stavros' paper. The upward motion is not easily reproducible at each test run, but sometime a weak upward motion of the circular rim can be observed. More deep tests must be soon conducted...
