Peter Graneau was born March 21, 1921 in Lissau, Poland (in the German region) and earned both his BS (1955) and PhD (1962) from the University of Nottingham, England, where he still maintains his citizenship. Emigrating to the US in 1967, Dr. Graneau worked at Simplex Wire &amp; Cable Co until F 1971, when he became a research scientist at M.I.T. In the early 1980s, Graneau's experiments with railguns led him to seek solutions based on Ampere's original force law as an alternative to the unsatisfactory solutions of conventional electrodynamics. In 1985 he moved to Northeastern University, where he conducted some of his most significant experiments before retiring in 1990. He proposed Amperian electrodynamics to explain longitudinal forces along the direction of current flow, and devised experiments to produce longitudinal explosions or arcs in water from these forces. Joined by his colleague and son Neal, Dr. Graneau has published dozens of articles and books demonstrating that Amperian action-at-a-distance mechanics explain many phenomena regarded as anomalies in mainstream science. Among the most interesting and incisive writers about the problems of contemporary physics today, their books include <em>Newton versus Einstein</em> (1993), <em>Newtonian Electrodynamics</em> (1996), and <em>In the Grip of a Distant Universe</em> (2006). The Graneau team numbers among the several dissidents who have produced convincing experimental evidence contradictory to the predictions of Maxwell-Lorentz-Einstein electrodynamic theory. The series of experiments on water arcing, detailed in <em>Unlimited Renewable Solar Energy from Water</em> (2006), has profound implications in the field of New Energy. In his retirement, he continues to co-edit <em>Infinite Energy</em> magazine.
'''Peter Graneau''' (March 13, 1921 – February 25, 2014) was a British-born American research scientist best known for his experimental revival of '''Ampère's original force law''' and for his work on water-arc explosions in the field of [[New Energy]]. A physicist and power-engineering specialist who spent much of his career at M.I.T. and Northeastern University, he argued — with his son and collaborator [[Neal Graneau|Neal]] — that a Newtonian, instantaneous "action-at-a-distance" electrodynamics explains a range of phenomena treated as anomalies by mainstream Maxwell–Lorentz–Einstein theory.

==Early Life and Education==


Graneau was born on March 13, 1921 in Silesia, then part of Germany (now Poland), where his father was a landowner and businessman. After the Second World War that region was annexed by Poland and his family relocated further west. His studies at the University of Berlin having been interrupted by the war, he moved to England, became a British subject, and attended the University of Nottingham, where he was awarded a B.Sc. (First Class Honours) and a PhD. He was later appointed a Fellow of the British Institute of Physics.
==Career in Power Engineering==
After university, Graneau joined the industrial laboratory of British Insulated Callender's Cables as assistant research manager, where he worked to foster collaboration between industry and academia — then an uncommon practice — initiating joint projects in standard electrical cables, novel forms of electrical energy transmission, and the electrification of Britain's railway network.
In the early 1960s he was invited to serve on a U.S. committee under the "Highway Beautification Act" championed by Lady Bird Johnson, tasked with placing unsightly overhead power corridors underground. He assembled a consortium of Simplex Wire & Cable, Arthur D. Little and MIT and, in 1967, moved with his wife and son to Concord, Massachusetts to lead the project. When the Vietnam War drew away its funding, he founded a consulting company, ''Underground Power Corporation'', and established an electrodynamics and power-transmission laboratory at MIT supported by the National Science Foundation and Department of Energy. There he developed novel prototypes — cryogenically cooled and sodium power cables and high-voltage switchgear — and filed many patents, work that culminated in his first book, ''Underground Power Transmission'' (Wiley, 1979).
==Amperian Electrodynamics==
In his MIT laboratory in the late 1970s, Graneau returned to lines of thought first raised in his PhD work. His research into the history, derivation, and experimental confirmation of the original law of electrodynamics proposed by [[André-Marie Ampère]] led him to argue that a return to the Newtonian concept of "instantaneous action at a distance" could resolve inconsistencies in conventionally taught physics. His experiments with railguns pointed to '''longitudinal forces''' acting along the direction of current flow — forces predicted by Ampère's force law but not by the modern Lorentz formulation. Working closely with his son Neal, who handled the computational modelling, he set out his case in ''Ampère-Neumann Electrodynamics of Metals'' (Hadronic Press, 1984) and, with Neal, in ''Newton vs. Einstein: How Matter Interacts with Matter'' (Carlton Press, 1993) and ''Newtonian Electrodynamics'' (World Scientific, 1996).
==Water Arc Experiments and New Energy==
As a visiting professor at Northeastern University during the 1980s and 1990s, Graneau formed an international research team studying the high-current pulsed-arc liberation of energy stored in the hydrogen bonds of water — the "water arc explosion." He published more than a dozen papers arguing that this process points to a new source of clean, renewable energy, a line of research still pursued in the UK and the Netherlands. His experiments in this area are collected in ''Unlimited Renewable Solar Energy from Water'' (2006).
==Inertia and Mach's Principle==
Graneau's final book, co-authored with his son, ''In the Grip of the Distant Universe: The Science of Inertia'' (World Scientific, 2006), extended his electromagnetic work to the problem of inertia. Its central claim is that the inertia resisting the acceleration of every object arises from instantaneous force interactions between every atom and every other atom in the universe — a "preconventional" view that, he argued, contradicts much of modern physics yet remains consistent with experiment while offering a simpler framework (see also [[Mach's Principle]]).
==Awards and Recognition==
In 2006 Graneau became an editor of the U.S. journal ''[[Infinite Energy]]'', through which he promoted unconventional and renewable energy research. In 2009 he received the '''Sagnac Award''' from the [[Natural Philosophy Alliance]] "in recognition of a lifetime commitment to excellence in scientific pursuit, for experiments in water plasma explosions and railgun recoils, and for theoretical presentations of Amperian longitudinal forces, instantaneous Machian interactions, and the unique role of water in renewable energy." His body of work comprises five books and around 150 refereed publications.
==Personal Life and Death==
Graneau married Brigitte, an advisor in fine art, at Buckfast Abbey, England, in 1955; their son Neal was born in London in 1963. After the family's move to the United States in 1967 they made their home in Concord, Massachusetts, where he enjoyed writing, tennis, sailing, and life in the woods, and took particular pleasure in visiting his son's pulsed-power laboratory at the University of Oxford. Peter Graneau died on February 25, 2014 at the Rivercrest Nursing Home in Concord and was buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. ([http://www.deefuneralhome.com Dee Funeral Home obituary].)

==Obituary==
Dr. Peter Graneau of Concord, MA died Tuesday Feb. 25, 2014 at Rivercrest Nursing Home in Concord. He was born on March 13th 1921 in Silesia where his father was a landowner and business man. After the war, that part of Germany was annexed by Poland and his parents were able to move to a property they owned further west. Since his studies at the University of Berlin had been interrupted by the war, he was able to move to England, become a British subject and attend the University of Nottingham, where he was awarded the B.Sc. (First Class Honours) and PhD. Degrees. He was later appointed a Fellow of the British Institute of Physics.
After university, he joined a large industrial laboratory (British Insulated Callender's Cables) as assistant research manager and his aim was to bring about collaboration between industry and academia, at that time not a common practice. He was very successful in initiating many joined projects especially in the advancement of standard electrical cables, developing novel forms of electrical energy transmission and even contributing to the electrification of Britain's railway network.
In the early 1960's, he was asked to serve on a US committee under the auspices of the ?Highway Beautification Act?, championed by Lady Bird Johnson. His part in the grand scheme to improve the urban and rural US landscape was to underground the unsightly electrical overhead power corridors that blight the environment. He eventually forged a conglomerate of Simplex Wire &amp; Cable, Arthur D. Little and MIT and in 1967, together with his wife and son, moved to Concord, Massachusetts to lead this project.
As a consequence of the Vietnam war, the funding for this enormous enterprise was withdrawn and he formed a consulting company called <em>Underground Power Corporation</em> and at the same time established an electrodynamics and power transmission laboratory at MIT with funding from the US National Science Foundation and Department of Energy. There he developed promising novel power transmission prototypes such as cryogenically cooled and sodium power cables and high voltage switchgear and filed many patents in the field. This work culminated in his first book, <em>Underground Power Transmission</em> (Wiley, 1979).
In his MIT laboratory in the late 1970's, he was also able to follow up lines of thought that had originally arisen in his PhD work. Research into the history, derivation and his recent experimental confirmations of the original law of electrodynamics proposed by Andre Marie Amp?re, provided a revolutionary insight into the inconsistencies within currently taught physics. It also shone a beacon into how modern physics could be simplified and rationalised by a return to the Newtonian concept of ?Instantaneous Action At A Distance?. This work would remain the basis and motivation for his research throughout the remainder of his career. He was able to take advantage of the ?in house? computer skills of his teen-age son to perform all of the calculations required to model the early electrodynamics experiments. This close scientific collaboration has continued until today and was a great pleasure for both men. His first book on the subject was entitled <em>Ampere-Neumann Electrodynamics of Metals</em> (Hadronic Press, 1984). While his son, Dr. Neal Graneau, was at Oxford University, UK, they co-authored two further books in this area, <em>Newton vs. Einstein: How Matter Interacts with Matter</em> (Carlton Press, 1993) and <em>Newtonian Electrodynamics</em> (World Scientific, 1996).
During the 1980's ? 90's, he was also a visiting professor at Northeastern University, Boston MA. During this time, he formed an international research team engaged in the high current pulsed arc liberation of stored hydrogen bond energy from water. He published more than a dozen papers in this area which has opened the door to a vast new source of clean and renewable energy. It is still an active area of research in the UK and The Netherlands.
His last book, also co-authored with his son, <em>In the Grip of the Distant Universe: The Science of Inertia</em> (World Scientific, 2006), explored the philosophical ramifications of his earlier electromagnetism work and applied it to understanding the fundamental force of inertia. The primary implication is that the inertia that we feel on earth and which makes all objects resist acceleration in proportion to their mass, is due to instantaneous force interactions between every atom and every other atom in the universe. This highly thought provoking ?preconventional? concept contradicts much of the philosophy of modern physics, but agrees with all known experiments and provides a vastly simpler framework with which to understand the laws of nature.
In 2006, he became an editor of the US journal ?Infinite Energy? and was able to contribute more broadly to unconventional energy research as well as furthering his renewable energy interests by promoting the science of liquid bond energy liberation for the benefit of mankind. In 2009, he received the Sagnac award from the Natural Philosophy Alliance ?in recognition of a lifetime commitment to excellence in scientific pursuit, for experiments in water plasma explosions and railgun recoils, and for theoretical presentations of Amperian longitudinal forces, instantaneous Machian interactions, and the unique role of water in renewable energy.? His publication list of 5 books and around 150 refereed publications leaves a lasting legacy in the fields of physics and engineering.
He is survived by his wife, Brigitte, an advisor in Fine Art. They were married in Buckfast Abbey, England in 1955 and their son Neal was born in London in 1963. After their move to the US in 1967, they made their home in Concord, where he loved to write, play tennis, sail and he thoroughly enjoyed life in the woods. Throughout his career, he nevertheless performed experiments in many laboratories throughout North America and Europe and especially enjoyed his professional visits to his son's pulsed power laboratory at the University of Oxford, UK. He was proud to have become one of Concord's authors, and will be laid to rest there in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
A Memorial service will be held on Tuesday, March 4th at 3:00 PM in the Duvall Chapel, Deaconess Rd, Newbury Court, Concord MA. A private family burial will be held in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. Funeral arrangements are under the care of Susan M. Dee and Charles W. Dee, Jr., Dee Funeral Home of Concord.

Peter Graneau (March 13, 1921 – February 25, 2014) was a British-born American research scientist best known for his experimental revival of Ampère's original force law and for his work on water-arc explosions in the field of New Energy. A physicist and power-engineering specialist who spent much of his career at M.I.T. and Northeastern University, he argued — with his son and collaborator Neal — that a Newtonian, instantaneous "action-at-a-distance" electrodynamics explains a range of phenomena treated as anomalies by mainstream Maxwell–Lorentz–Einstein theory.

Early Life and Education

Graneau was born on March 13, 1921 in Silesia, then part of Germany (now Poland), where his father was a landowner and businessman. After the Second World War that region was annexed by Poland and his family relocated further west. His studies at the University of Berlin having been interrupted by the war, he moved to England, became a British subject, and attended the University of Nottingham, where he was awarded a B.Sc. (First Class Honours) and a PhD. He was later appointed a Fellow of the British Institute of Physics.

Career in Power Engineering

After university, Graneau joined the industrial laboratory of British Insulated Callender's Cables as assistant research manager, where he worked to foster collaboration between industry and academia — then an uncommon practice — initiating joint projects in standard electrical cables, novel forms of electrical energy transmission, and the electrification of Britain's railway network.

In the early 1960s he was invited to serve on a U.S. committee under the "Highway Beautification Act" championed by Lady Bird Johnson, tasked with placing unsightly overhead power corridors underground. He assembled a consortium of Simplex Wire & Cable, Arthur D. Little and MIT and, in 1967, moved with his wife and son to Concord, Massachusetts to lead the project. When the Vietnam War drew away its funding, he founded a consulting company, Underground Power Corporation, and established an electrodynamics and power-transmission laboratory at MIT supported by the National Science Foundation and Department of Energy. There he developed novel prototypes — cryogenically cooled and sodium power cables and high-voltage switchgear — and filed many patents, work that culminated in his first book, Underground Power Transmission (Wiley, 1979).

Amperian Electrodynamics

In his MIT laboratory in the late 1970s, Graneau returned to lines of thought first raised in his PhD work. His research into the history, derivation, and experimental confirmation of the original law of electrodynamics proposed by André-Marie Ampère led him to argue that a return to the Newtonian concept of "instantaneous action at a distance" could resolve inconsistencies in conventionally taught physics. His experiments with railguns pointed to longitudinal forces acting along the direction of current flow — forces predicted by Ampère's force law but not by the modern Lorentz formulation. Working closely with his son Neal, who handled the computational modelling, he set out his case in Ampère-Neumann Electrodynamics of Metals (Hadronic Press, 1984) and, with Neal, in Newton vs. Einstein: How Matter Interacts with Matter (Carlton Press, 1993) and Newtonian Electrodynamics (World Scientific, 1996).

Water Arc Experiments and New Energy

As a visiting professor at Northeastern University during the 1980s and 1990s, Graneau formed an international research team studying the high-current pulsed-arc liberation of energy stored in the hydrogen bonds of water — the "water arc explosion." He published more than a dozen papers arguing that this process points to a new source of clean, renewable energy, a line of research still pursued in the UK and the Netherlands. His experiments in this area are collected in Unlimited Renewable Solar Energy from Water (2006).

Inertia and Mach's Principle

Graneau's final book, co-authored with his son, In the Grip of the Distant Universe: The Science of Inertia (World Scientific, 2006), extended his electromagnetic work to the problem of inertia. Its central claim is that the inertia resisting the acceleration of every object arises from instantaneous force interactions between every atom and every other atom in the universe — a "preconventional" view that, he argued, contradicts much of modern physics yet remains consistent with experiment while offering a simpler framework (see also Mach's Principle).

Awards and Recognition

In 2006 Graneau became an editor of the U.S. journal Infinite Energy, through which he promoted unconventional and renewable energy research. In 2009 he received the Sagnac Award from the Natural Philosophy Alliance "in recognition of a lifetime commitment to excellence in scientific pursuit, for experiments in water plasma explosions and railgun recoils, and for theoretical presentations of Amperian longitudinal forces, instantaneous Machian interactions, and the unique role of water in renewable energy." His body of work comprises five books and around 150 refereed publications.
