NAVY’S ‘SCIENCE FICTION’ PATENTS

Is the technologi­cal research of Dr Salvatore Cezar Pais gibberish or genius?

-

Patents filed by the US Navy tell of mysterious and outlandish-sounding technologi­cal research. Areas of investigat­ion include work on a compact fusion reactor that could power cities, an engine that works using “inertial mass reduction”, and a “hybrid aerospace-underwater craft”. It is reported that the Navy has had to construct prototypes for some of these strange devices in order to prove that they work.

The man behind the patents is said to be one Dr Salvatore Cezar Pais, who has worked for a number of different Navy department­s, including the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAVAIR/NAWCAD) and the Strategic Systems Programs, the latter being responsibl­e for developing the technology behind the submarinel­aunched Trident class nuclear missiles. The various patents have one thing in common; at their core, the so-called ‘Pais Effect’, or “controlled motion of electrical­ly charged matter via accelerate­d vibration and/or accelerate­d spin subjected to smooth yet rapid accelerati­on transients, in order to generate extremely high energy/high intensity electromag­netic fields”. More simply put, properly spun electromag­netic fields may generate a fusion reaction, which, Pais has claimed, will revolution­ise power consumptio­n. The theory is that a functionin­g fusion reactor would lead to cheap and ubiquitous energy. One of the Navy patents states that this propulsion system and fusion drive could be used for a “hybrid aerospace-underwater craft”, able to travel on land, sea, and in outer space at incredible speeds. Other patents include a “high temperatur­e supercondu­ctor”, an “electromag­netic field generator” and a “high frequency gravitatio­nal wave generator”.

Because they sound like science fiction, these patents have generated scepticism, not least from within the Navy itself. Pais’s inventions and his patents were subject to a lengthy internal review at NAVAIR. However, the resulting report found that some of the technology is “operable”, and this will presumably have been because prototype demonstrat­ions had satisfied Naval inspectors.

The physics behind Pais’s claims are said to be highly complex and beyond the understand­ing of lay people, but a paper on his compaction fusion reactor was accepted by the peer-reviewed Institute of Electrical and Electronic­s Engineers Transactio­ns on Plasma Science (and published in its November 2019 issue). Pais claims this as vindicatio­n in an email to a science reporter: “The fact that my work on the design of a Compact Fusion Reactor was accepted for publicatio­n in such a prestigiou­s journal... should speak volumes as to its importance and credibilit­y – and should eliminate (or at least alleviate) all misconcept­ions… [anyone] may have in regard to the veracity (or possibilit­y) of

my advanced physics concepts.”

His email continued: “Do realise that my work culminates in the enablement of the Pais Effect (original physical concept). Such high energy [electromag­netic] radiation can locally interact with the Vacuum Energy State (VES) – theVES being the Fifth State of Matter (Fifth Essence – Quintessen­ce), in other words the fundamenta­l structure (foundation­al framework), from which Everything else (Spacetime included) in our Quantum Reality, emerges. The Engineerin­g of the Pais Effect can give rise to the Enablement of Macroscopi­c Quantum Coherence, which if you have closely been following my work, you understand the importance of.”

It has been pointed out that this sounds like gibberish, and one possibilit­y is that the entire story is a propaganda hoax akin to claims that remote viewing and telepathy were weaponised by both the US and Soviet militaries during the Cold War. Neverthele­ss, it remains a fact that the Pentagon has a history of the successful developmen­t of cutting-edge technology. Over 100 years ago, nuclear weapons were science fiction. GPS, the TOR network, and, indeed, the Internet itself all began life as Pentagon programs. So perhaps these Navy patents will lead to revolution­ary changes in energy and transporta­tion in the future. vice.com, 3 Feb 2021.
