JOHN HUTCHISON—MAD MAN OR UNSUNG PIONEER?
By Jeane Manning
Recent comments by an experimental physicist made me take a fresh look at the accomplishments of a beloved friend—alternative-science pioneer John Hutchison. His experiments are well publicized; he made objects defy gravi­ty by beaming different energy waves at them.

The comments were in an email to me from Robert W. Koontz, Ph.D., who says, “The impact that John’s work could have on the future of the world is beyond comprehension. Space flight would dramatically change, as would materials science and also energy production.”

Koontz is a former staff scientist with The Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. He believes Hutchison demonstrated the existence of very unusual phenomena, including non-electrostatic and non-magnetic levitation of solid, massive objects and transmutation of certain solid metals. Hutchison’s discoveries may parallel aspects of research done in se­cret weapons laboratories within the former Soviet Union and within the United States, Koontz says.

“I know of no open physics laboratory in the world which has conducted even a single experiment of the kind that Mr. Hutchison has performed,” Koontz stated in a document online. In the recent email he added that the implica­tions of John’s work are far greater than just levitating 70-pound cannonballs.

The complexities of this gentle man John Hutchison as well as the implications of his work are lost on skeptics who ignore his accomplishments and instead pounce on the one video of his work that looks faked, the one in which Hutchison had attached a wire to a toy UFO. A filmmaker had asked him to produce levitation effects by sending a low level of electrical power through a wire.

That flipping toy had nothing to do with the action-at-a-distance antigravity effects in his experiments done in the 1980s in Vancouver B.C. and videotaped by scientists from Los Alamos and Canadian military. Hutchison had created “lift-and-disrupt” effects in materials. Heavy chunks of metal had shredded and twisted—without being heated—in those experiments. A bar of aluminum “melted” long enough for a table knife to become imbedded in it. His metal samples were tested at Max Planck institute in Germany, and conventional physics can’t explain what happened to change the materials’ properties. Recently the inventor discovered that some of the non-magnetic metal bars had turned magnetic in their center!

The Hutchison Effect is no hoax, but skeptics still say, “If it’s real it would be on CNN.” If you believe that, I en­courage you to get the new book written by Joel Garbon and me, Breakthrough Power. Its web site www.BreakthroughPower.net will be up by early October if not before. The book focuses on the variety of revolution­ary clean-energy alternatives to oil, and therefore doesn’t go into the antigravity topic, but the chapter titled Misled Media puts the CNN question into perspective.

In recent years Hutchison has again collected some of the equipment needed and has done “antigravity” demon­strations for film crews. A few of his friends also were treated to displays of levitation. A physicist from Germany, Thorsten Ludwig, Ph.D., filmed in late November 2007 at the Hutchison apartment “laboratory” in New Westminster (a suburb of Vancouver). Along with a local engineer active in New Energy Movement Canada (NEMCA), Peter Scholl, we watched as John handled controls activating complex electromagnetic fields on the other side of the wall from him. Some researchers describe the fields as “scalar” waves, but whatever the invisible forces his high voltage appara­tus generated were, they created amazing effects. We watched as the water that filled a rectangular shallow pan rip­pled and agitated and then numerous columns of water droplets rose more than an inch in height from the surface. A sheet of aluminum foil hanging on the opposite wall suddenly and noisily crumpled upward. An empty plastic con­tainer shot up at an angle and then dropped onto the floor.

Why isn’t this Hutchison Effect being rigorously studied at universities? Tim Ventura (www.americanantigravity.com) has publicly stated that Hutchison’s work continues to receive interest at the highest levels of government and academia, but several groups Ventura is acquainted with have expressed fear that they may ruin their own reputations by investing in such an unknown phenomenon. Ventura adds that nagging doubts and a lack of understanding by the establishment has allowed the discoveries to fall through the cracks. And military scien­tists publicly planted the suggestion that since scientists haven’t replicated the Hutchison Effect, it must rely on psy­chokinesis—mental powers causing the movement. The inventor rejects that scenario; he knows what he is doing even if he can’t explain it to the point where others replicate it. Having an intuitive feel for machinery and being able to sense which knobs to twirl in order to create the fields that propel objects is a different matter than supposedly psychically directing chunks of metal to go ballistic.

Visitors to Hutchison’s apartment laboratory are surprised at how close to the financial edge he lives. The chasm of possible homelessness opened up in the mind of the inventor this past winter; because the city fathers of New Westminster had put their collective foot down and handed Hutchison an ultimatum to clear out his apartment.

They didn’t say Hutchison had to move out, but to him it felt like eviction. He was instructed to normalize his apartment—remove heavy metal rack cabinets and other apparatus that literally filled the place. From the point of view of city officials, it was a hazard because in the event of a fire or other emergency, personnel couldn’t get through his apartment quickly. That was an understatement. Visitors didn’t find space to stand up in parts of his third-floor apartment, much less move through from one end to the other without edging sideways. Heavy objects hung from chains anchored in the ceiling wherever equipment wasn’t stacked from floor to ceiling. His balcony was equally crowded with grey-painted equipment salvaged from a navy ship, and had become a destination for sightseers.

One city official went too far toward interfering in Hutchison’s right to live his unique lifestyle. The official want­ed him to replace the laboratory with ordinary furniture and restore a normal kitchen, despite the fact that the land­lord didn’t care what his famous tenant did as long as it didn’t break laws.

The mayor of New Westminster reportedly stated that the area was not zoned for levitation. Did the mayor say that with a straight face?

Despite the excessive zeal of that one official, the city’s inspectors had a valid case. A science laboratory didn’t be­long in a residential area, much less in the middle of an apartment house. And I don’t know if they knew that the Hutchison Effect apparently spilled over; his neighbors in the building claimed to see strange activities. A man in the apartment above left in distress and I was told that he yelled that something had melted on his coffee table in front of his eyes. Another neighbor’s vase acted strangely. Would you like to live in a place where your dishes moved around in the cupboards?

John tried to be considerate; he did his November 2007 demonstrations during the daytime before people came home from school or work, but that thoughtfulness, even if they knew about it, wasn’t enough for local authorities. Focusing on the safety issue of crowded premises, they repeated their ultimatum. The story by then was magnified on the Internet by an entrepreneur who had put up a John Hutchison web site.

With all the communications from officials and their deadlines approaching, the situation became stressful for the inventor. I asked Al Beebe, a retired physics teacher who was chairing NEMCA, to accompany me and meet John Hutchison for the purpose of giving him advice and help. Beebe then did an admirable job of helping him deal with municipal bureaucrats, put tons of equipment into storage and be able to stay in the apartment until something bet­ter surfaces. Hutchison is waiting for his promised dream job—hosting a new-paradigm science TV show that would involve relocating to Los Angeles.

In gratitude for Beebe’s help, Hutchison gave a talk to NEMCA and guests in May. At our request the topic of his presentation was his Crystal Power Cell invention, intended to replace batteries. The little power-converters had evolved out of his fascination with self-reactive materials such as barium titanate or germanium. Other ingredients that he adds in powdered form, mixes and cooks may include Rochelle salts, galena and iron pyrite. He pours the mix­ture into empty gun shells, tennis balls and other forms before zapping it in an electrical field. After the cells harden, their power output is only in milliwatts, but he says they could be ganged together for enough electrical output to trickle-charge batteries. I’ve also seen a more complex power cell that he built, which ran a little propeller. Small ef­fects, but it’s free energy.

Where does the energy come from? A well-known physicist viewed a crystal energy generator when he visited Hutchison’s apartment nearly 13 years ago. The physicist had long been worked on a theory of how to extract energy from what are called vacuum fluctuations or zero-point energy of space. After the visit he speculated in a fax to Hutchison that when two dissimilar materials such as the crystal/metal interfaces are put together, a zero-point­energy-driven effect, called the Casimir Effect, pulls the electrons toward the interface. If conditions make it easier for the electrons to go in one direction than in the other across the interface, then, when there is an external circuit connection the effect could theoretically be expected to drive electrical current around indefinitely.

The crystal power cells have a problem, but Hutchison tells me it can be solved. Their voltage fluctuates unpre­dictably, and this will remain a problem until the exact chemistry of what happens in the cells is known. He uses dif­ferent materials of different degrees of purity nearly every time he makes a batch of “batteries.” It’s the flip side of be­ing a free spirit; he doesn’t confine himself to the usual scientific practices, such as keeping a journal of precise lab notes. I believe serious progress could be made if he were an honored part of a scientific team that includes specialists with whom he feels compatible. A consulting engineer recently estimated that a major research project on the topic would require several hundreds of thousands of dollars and several years.

Dr. Koontz says Hutchison has done things that experimental physicists all over the planet could only dream of; the levitation experiments alone represent one of the most important physics developments one can imagine. “I have met Nobel prize winners whose accomplishments were not as great.”

In a recent letter that included health advice to Hutchison, Koontz said he has found that high-voltage radio fre­quencies (RF) from such things as a neon sign generator, coupled to a long and thick stranded piece of wire with thick insulation, is therapeutic when the wire is held and placed over the body. “The magnetic fields come through, but the current and the high voltage do not. Be sure to always be insulated and away from ground.”

Given his permission, I’ll quote further from Koontz’ letter to Hutchison. “It is not well known, but for RF fre­quencies, some of the energy that passes through a wire exists in the form of energy that is actually outside of the wire. You know already about the so-called ‘skin effect.’ There is also energy involved in the production of phonons, or the particles that constitute sound. But phonon frequencies can go up to as high as 3 Terra-Hertz. And when standing phonon waves are produced, there are wave cancellation effects. This is of great importance relative to the Hutchison effect, according to my theory of your results.”

“Finally, with respect to such things as your levitation experiments, think in terms of canceling electric and mag­netic fields. That is the key. When magnetic and electric fields are made to cancel, the nature of space and time is changed as one pumps what people used to call the ether. This is my theory, and it can be made to connect with conventional physics through something known as gauge transformation. Cancelled electromagnetic fields contain ener­gy that must go somewhere…”

Advice from the physicist to the free-spirited discoverer is apt for anyone: “To keep yourself motivated, try medi­tating on what you have done in your life already, being sure to think only positive thoughts.”
