Dear Dr Hooper:
Your telegram was phoned to me just as I was getting ready to go on a field trip to determine the electrical conductivity of Lake Ontario, so I grabbed a handful of essays, put them in an envelope and sent them off to you although I didn’t have time to write. I hope there were sufficient copies, if not I have a few more and you are welcome to them. You certainly may make of them whatever use you can of this material.
We have rebuilt our machine and are now about to look for some of the answers to some questions. This unit has about 14 ceramic magnets mounted in a groove cut in a ¼ inch thick 6 inch diameter disc. We haven’t yet run it up to full speed as we are very cautious after the other exploding. We don’t expect much from this machine except maybe answers to a couple of pointed questions.
Our major design effort now is looking towards making a magnetic field move without having to move the magnets. It should be possible, since we found that the converse was true. Also, there are some rules concerning fields, which are not in the literature which might be exploited to attain this end. We refer in particular to the rule that field s can and will remain as separate entities if such arrangement has a lower energy level than that of the corresponding field structure. Also, we found that magnetic fields move only at right angles to their vectorial directions, and in strict correspondence with Maxwell’s equations. They refuse stubbornly to move in their vectorial direction, and apparent motion in this direction is actually a folding in or out of the field, always at right angles.
We have drawn up quite a few designs to make the field move, but have discarded most of them either because the present technology was inadequate to do the job, or there was too much uncertainty as to what actually would be going on. We have one design which looks promising, namely notching a circular DC field with a (1 - cos O) function which is rotating and confining the whole in a shield so that the lower energy level is attained if the field structure rotates. We haven’t tried it yet, and it will probably fall before we can test this principle. However, it looks promising.
With best regards,
W.B. Smith

If you don't come to the conclusion that Leedskalnin has absolutely no idea what he's talking about, then I gave you and your education way too much credit, but I'm still hopeful you can see it if you investigate it a little.
Arbitrageur
We already have observations to discredit his ideas. I'm not sure why you'd need more experiments when they are already proven false.
If there is no proof then the appropriate forum would be skunk works, not science and technology. You are actually supposed to provide proof of scientific claims in this forum. There is no such requirement in skunk works and the forum heading says so.

I used the paint assessory provided in Windows7. Then I upload image to imageshack. I am not aware imageshack has a image editor like Paint.
AthlonSavage For godsake they inscripted it one a stone and modern humans are so blind not to see the clue these ancient builders provided us with.
