Asymmetry in anomalous forces between clockwise and counterclockwise rotations.

Theoretical model aligns with experimental measurements.

Abstract

We performed several measurements of anomalous forces on a dielectric rotor in operation, subjected to high voltage. The device operated under constant and intense angular velocity for each high voltage applied. The measurements were made in the similar way than an analogue magnetic gyroscope, by considering clockwise and counterclockwise rotations. We found that there are significant weight reduction on the device in the clockwise case, with one order of magnitude higher than the magnetic case. In addition, we detected a similar asymmetry in the observation of the effect, that is, there are smaller results for the anomalous forces in counterclockwise rotation. We also propose a theoretical model to explain the quantitative effect based on average values of macroscopic observables of the device rotation and concluded that it is consistent with the experimental results.
