We report test results searching for an effect of electrostatic charge on weight. For conducting test objects of mass of order 1 kg,
we found no effect on weight, for potentials ranging from 10 V to 200 kV, corresponding to charge states ranging from 10−9 to over

is the first unipolar, high-voltage, meter-scale, static test for electro-gravitic effects reported in the literature. Our investigation was
More by Authors Links # motivated by the search for possible coupling to a long-range scalar field that could surround the planet, yet go otherwise
undetected. The large buoyancy force predicted within the classical Kaluza theory involving a long-range scalar field is falsified by
our results, and this appears to be the first such experimental test of the classical Kaluza theory in the weak field regime, where it
was otherwise thought identical with known physics. A parameterization is suggested to organize the variety of electro-gravitic
experiment designs. View Full-Text
