Anthony Craddock writes: This fascinating video was recently donated to Cheniere Media by Howard Johnson, the world-renowned researcher into magnetism.

In it, Howard demonstrates a number of his unique magnetic gates, which accelerate cars on tracks using the little-known ability of magnets to fire bursts of energy like guns. These forces are what Nobellist Richard Feynman termed "exchange forces", and they can be up to a thousand times stronger than the base magnetic strength. With the camera running, one of the cars even accelerates from rest loaded with a 35 pound lead weight.


Filmed at Virginia Tech over 20 years ago, and hosted by Dr. Gerhard Beyer, Distinguished Professor and co-researcher, and one of the original atomic bomb scientists, the DVD also shows how the team of Beyer, Johnson and Davis actually performed their ground breaking work of mapping the real magnetic fields of magnets. These are actually very different and much more complex than those that have been taught to most of us.

The video has been digitally re-mastered and converted to DVD, and also contains some provocative End Notes. It is compelling viewing for any person of any age who has some curiosity about how things work.

And it makes a great companion piece to Howard Johnson's book "The Secret World of Magnets" if you have already purchased this.

Available exclusively from The Tom Bearden Website in both NTSC and PAL formats, the running time is 20 minutes.
