Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
We propose a series of crucial experiments, to analyse and test the most important predictions made in recent theoretical publications on supertoroidal electrodynamics, which question some of the apparent laws of physics. We will concentrate on three groups of experiments that have been selected on the merit of their importance, simplicity and touchstone qualities: a) Tests on the interaction of toroidal magnetic moments with electric current and toroidalelectric moments with oscillating magnetic filed; b) Tests on nonreciprocal transmission between supertoroidal antennae; c) Tests on timedependent radiating properties of supertoroidal antennas and on generating non-radiating supertoroidal configurations to produce sources of propagating vector-potential fields in the absence of electric and magnetic fields.A theoretical programme will also be established to guide the experiments, analyse of the results and elaborate the relevant theory. We will work closely with international researches, which authored the theoretical predictions that we plan to test in our experiments and dedicated seminar-type meetings are panned for this purpose.
