One of the first tasks in this project has been to determine what the Podkletnov apparatus should do when it is operated and what physical mechanisms account for each aspect of the operation. In Dr. Podkletnov's papers, he points out that the disc is rotated with the use of solenoids that are placed around the superconducting disc in a number of configurations as shown below. I'll compare these configurations to other existing superconductor motor research in a future entry. From EE Podkletnov, arxiv, (1997), http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/9701074 The above diagram shows the two phase coils that are wrapped through the disc. The magnetic field inside these solenoids will be parallel to the surface of the disc. The dashed circles indicate the levitation solenoids that lie below the disc. The next diagram is a detail of one of the through wrapped solenoids as well as a second solenoid configuration in which the solenoid windings are bent out of the way of the disc. To...
