According to scientific books, an atom, no matter its physical anatomy, will always remain electrically neutral. But I disagree. Because I believe the atom is electrically positive and not neutral. “Today’s assumption is tomorrow’s assignment”. I wrote this saying in 1977 when I started to question myself about the possibility of harnessing gravitational forces as a new kind of energy source. I kept this thought in mind to help me going while being aware of the great challenges lying ahead in tackling such a complex and controversial issue. Following in the footsteps of Christopher Columbus I sailed on to discover the secrets of gravity. Yes, it all started with wishful thinking and so it is. Like it was to Columbus.
Now, try to imagine a world where electricity is freely available or very inexpensive to buy, by harnessing the gravitational forces, anywhere – even in a desert. What achievement this will be! But first, let’s start with an assumption and figure out an idea which may lead us to discover the scientific knowledge of what gravity is all about. As a ‘Faraday’ my explanations are in layman’s language. Equations and formulae will come at a later stage.
So, why do I consider that the atom at the surface of the earth is electrically positive?
1. As we all know our earth’s north and south poles are created by the electromagnetic field at the earth’s core. Similarly, I believe, our earth’s crust consists of another two-like poles (spherical plates): an outer layer plate and an inner layer plate, one above the other, with a dielectric (mantel) in between like a huge spherical capacitor – with the difference, that instead of magnetic poles we now also have two electrically charged plates, that covers the whole area of the earth: the inner plate’s atom, charged negative, and the outer plate’s atom, charged positive. These two plates attract each other and this is what gravity is all about, because positive and negative charges attract each other. We do not feel anything except the weight of our body, because we are also made of positive atoms like all the other matter that surrounds us.
2. It is a fact that most lightning strikes from the earth’s surface (outer plate) towards the clouds – and not as it is commonly believed – the other way round? When lightning strikes millions of positive volts are emitted from the outer plate and discharged to the clouds. Unfortunately, sometimes lightning strikes also through the underground telephone lines, pass the telephone receiver, spark out of the telephone handset, causing several fatal bodily incidents, deaths, and fire to buildings. This is proof that the earth’s surface is made of positively charged atoms.
3. It is a fact that our sun radiates myriads of positive electrified particles that shower the surface of the earth constantly, thus sustaining the atom’s positive charge. The Auroras at the North and South Poles are a physical and visual proof of these positive electrified particles.
4. It is a fact that the oceans are salty. Could it be for the same reason why corrosion (salt) accumulates around the positive terminal of a car battery? Is the earth like one gigantic electric cell?
Conclusion: In my opinion, scientists build up all sorts of formulae and equations to hide their assumptions. Labeling the atom, as being electrically neutral is one example – where they well know that a scientific experiment to proof the atom as electrically neutral does not exist! Or are they just assuming that the atom is electrically neutral?

Gravity Theory – Atom Positive Not Neutral
March 30th, 2010Easy Science Projects for Kids
March 30th, 2010
It’s important for kids to get involved in science from an early age, as exposure to scientific ideas and the world of exploration as soon as possible is the best way to foster a love for learning in your children that will last a lifetime. At the same time, scientific knowledge is cumulative, so kids have to start with a solid foundation if they are to develop the necessary scientific skills to succeed in school, and perhaps in a future career. Of course, when doing science projects with kids the most important thing to remember is to have fun! Youth science fair projects aren’t meant to transform your child into a scientist – they are meant to get the creative juices flowing within your child and help him or her continue to explore the natural world and make use of the imagination.
So where do you find ideas for science projects, if you want to get your child started on something at home? Luckily, these days you don’t have to look far to find science projects for your children – simply do an online search and you should be able to find tons of websites containing information and ideas pertaining to science fair projects and science for children in general. These websites list science projects and tell you exactly how to do them and what to do, so the process of helping your child discover science or prepare science fair projects for school is made easy.
In the past, it was easy for parents to become frustrated when helping kids with homework and coming up with ideas for science fair projects – now it’s easy to help them out and you don’t have to be a science whiz yourself! And if your child demonstrates a natural interest in science, it’s even more important that you encourage it from an early age. Whether or not you have to do a project for school, or complete a homework assignment, kids getting involved in science at home is a great idea!
In fact, doing their own science experiments at home is a great way to supplement the regular educational exposure your kids get during the day in the classroom. And if you home school your children coming up with fun and educational science experiments that are easy to recreate at home is the perfect way to help your kids exercise their minds and learn about science while having a lot of fun at the same time.
When you set up science projects for your kids to do at home, it makes learning fun – this will carry over to the child’s classroom experience and may even improve their grades overall. Of course, that is not the main goal of doing science experiments at home. Again, do these projects with your children as a fun activity and the learning will spring from that organically. Specifically, when searching for science projects for your kids to do at home it’s a good idea to find something your children, and maybe even their friends, will enjoy. Figure out what interests your child and go from there. Involving them in the process will help them naturally discover where their interests are and what type of experiments they’ll gain the most from.
You can find the instructions for these experiments for free, although you will have to purchase some basic supplies in most cases. At the same time, materials used in most of these projects are relatively inexpensive and not difficult to find.

Elementary Science Fair Projects – Preventing Soil Erosion Elementary Science Fair Project
March 30th, 2010
In this elementary science fair project we are going to find out what can be done to prevent soil erosion. I think we all know that soil erosion is a very big problem all over the world.
Here are some of the Scary Facts:
Did you know that the worlds’ deserts grows by about 16 000square miles a year? In the US alone about 7 billion tones of very valuable topsoil is eroded by streams and rivers, as they carry the topsoil away. Did you know that about 75% of the rocks on earth are made up of small grains and particles that are pressed together under the weight of tons of water over very long periods? These rocks are called “sedimentary rocks.”
This is a really worrying situation, don’t you agree?
Well in this elementary science fair project we are going to be looking at one of the methods we can use to prevent this. We are going to do an elementary science fair project to find out whether planting grass or other plants in areas with a lot of erosion can help.
What you will need for this science experiment:
Some easy growing grass seeds Two rectangular cake pans 2 Tick books of the same size Enough soil to fill the pans A jug to pour the water with Water
What you have to do
First of all you have to fill one of your cake tins with the soil. Plant your grass seeds in this cake tin. Water this tin thoroughly with water. Place this tin in a sunny spot where the grass can grow well. Now you have to gently water your seeds and make sure that the soil in the pan is moist at all times without over watering. Wait for your grass to grow about 3 inches high. Fill up the other cake tin with soil. Water it just enough to be as moist as the tin with your grass in it. Now you have to place the one end of both your tins on your books to make them lie at an angle. Fill your jug with water and pour the water down the cake tin without the grass. Note what happens. Now you pour the water down the cake tin with the grass growing in it. Make a note of what happens. What is the difference? What is the reason for the difference?. write down your explanation.
What happens here is that in the pan without grass the some of the dirt is carried away with the water. This is what happens in nature in places where there is nothing to stem the flow of water. In the pan with the grass growing in it, the grass stems the flow of the water and less soil is carried away with the water. So, by planting indigenous grass and other indigenous plants in areas where soil erosion is a problem, the soil erosion can be slowed down.
