Abstract

Charles Morton has contributed numerous thoughts, comments, and descriptions of his experiments to ESJ over the years. His propulsion concepts are simple and worthy of careful investigation. In some respects, his concepts compare to those of Townsend Brown, but it is clear that Morton has introduced original ideas. The ESJ Lab is planning to set up Morton?s experiments and would like to hear from network experimenters interested in contributing knowledge and/or time toward what we shall call the ?Morton Project.? The experiments are to be done in collaboration with Mr. Morton, and the results will be published.
