The first experiments on the MHD test system were positive. What looks like a material property, low-tech and a lower overall cost 3000 euro does not mean that experiments carried out on it are of low scientific level.
The low gas pressure are good conductors of electricity. Moreover, the magnetic fields needed for high Hall parameters are moderate: about a thousand gauss, which can easily be obtained with simple permanent magnets.
If you wanted to repeat the same experiments at atmospheric pressure should be play with several Tesla fields, even tens of Tesla, creating ionization by microwaves in three gigahertz, etc.. The concepts are the same, except that the cost of installation and implementation would cost a thousand times more expensive.
The experiments stopped since three decades (since 1975), will be resumed, some will relate to the instability of Velikhov, others to the ionization wall. Our research program converges to the implementation of a model of discoidal aerodyne induction without electrodes. Eventually we will build a hypersonic wind tunnel to burst, in low density, again for ease of ionization of gases. But we hope, in this final experiment, highlighting the annihilation of shock waves.

Since May 2010, the MHD apparatus was being assembled. He is now operational and working.
Many pieces were made specifically as the vacuum valve (electrically insulated), which was designed, machined and assembled.
The bell jar, cylindrical, is 40 cm in diameter. The first that we had received, during the first vacuum test began to deform at an alarming rate. The manufacturer has recovered it, and we had to acquire a new one, urgency. The decision was immediately taken to add an anti-blast wall
The insulating material actuator was designed and built. We have added a remote engine to keep a safe distance between the experimenter and the system. The control experiment is also remote, on video.
finalized in July 2010
The machining of small parts (caps, models) are made on site, on a set tour milling machine designers.

We receive a lot of demand for the Advancement of Ufocatch. As we start year is the opportunity to make a point of it (see page ovnitech for more information on work in progress).
With regard to its operability, only testing outside on moving target we will confirm the choice of hardware and software technologies selected. We can not say that the system is now fully operational to be placed on real situation.
The cost is still no news as for now there is a prototype, but say that we are now closer to the Euro from 1500 to 2000.
If we respect the plan, the month of April could be the answer.

Thierry, an active member working, has designed a detection station SADEPAN and used it during his travel in Europe. Every night, he put the camera on his truck and record events in the sky. Its color matched to the truck, making it more discreet.

It was an dinner focused on science and UFO in Toulouse (France). Fifty people had gathered for the occasion. The guest was Mathieu Ader, a member of the Association UFO-Science , and co-leader of the group OvniTech.
The presentation began with a statement of what has been done in ufology past three decades. First, a point of view of official institutions in charge of the case. There are lot of records of police available on the website GEIPAN representing the log of thousands of witnesses. But none of these log contain real scientific data.
The few documents that catch our attention are technical notes, following the investigations of some famous cases of modern ufology.
Then the point of view of the scientific community in general, where the UFO phenomenon is still a taboo. The main risk is the collapse of a large number of well-established dogma, a questioning of our current knowledge.
A few high-level work have been present: those of Professor Michael Bounias (chromatography) in the case of Trans-en-Provence in 1981, and those of Jean-Pierre Petit (Director of Research at CNRS) in laboratory experiments conducted in the 70s on Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Lire la suite…
