FAQ
- What kind of magnet configuration works?
- Wouldn’t a magnet accelerating in free-fall at rates greater than gravity already been proven?
- What about outside peer reviewed physics journals?
- Didn’t Boyd Bushman claim two magnets repulsively coupled fell slower than a control?
-
What kind of magnet configuration works?
-
Four possible combinations and a control were tested, two attractively coupled tested falling with either the north pole or south pole on the bottom. as well as two repulsively coupled magnets (NS/NS, NS/SN, SN/NS, SN/SN, and a Control).
Only the normal magnet falling in the direction of its North to South Pole worked. All other magnets fell at the same rate as gravity unlke the NS/NS’s increased in acceleration and velocity.
Wouldn’t a magnet accelerating in free-fall at rates greater than gravity already been proven?
-
It is odd. There is not one peer reviewed paper in any physics journal that tested dropping neodymium magnets in the direction of their North to South pole. You’d think by now there would have been a paper published proving non-anomalous, nevermind anmalous results, but that has never happened.

What about outside peer reviewed physics journals?
-
Here are all the experimenters I could find that conducted magnet free-fall experiments and discussed it on the internet such as on YouTube.
- Boyd Bushman – 12/12/1995
- Tom Mahood – 11/18/1999 & 12/07/1999
- William Alek – 03/12/2009
- Magnet Tricks – 06/16/2015
- Rob Baker – 07/28/2017
- Elio Porcelli et al – 05/01/2021
- The Action Lab – 11/05/2021
Of those I could only confirm Tom Mahood has conducted free-fall experiments including dropping them in the direction of their North to South pole. His results were mixed but dismissed as experimental error.
The magnets used by Tom Mahood were:
- Grade – N27
- Size(a) – 19mm OD x 2.57mm x 5.36 grams
- Size(b) – 25.4mm OD x 4.75mm x 36.05 grams
- Estimated Pulling Force(a) – 7.01lbs
- Estimated Pulling Force(b) – 27.8lbs
Magnets I Used:
- Grade – N42
- Size – 2″OD x 1/4″ID x 1″H x 380 grams
- Pulling Force – 205lbs
It is possible that Mr. Mahood’s results were lackluster due to the magnets he used being much weaker than the ones I used. The pulling force value estimates were based on N42 magnets of the size used by Mahood sold by K&J Magnetics. In actuality Mahood’s magnets were even weaker being N27 but I couldn’t find estimates for N27.

Didn’t Boyd Bushman claim two magnets repulsively coupled fell slower than a control?
-
This is true. The experiment he conducted was regarding repulsively coupled magnets. I have two hypotheses to explain the inability of others to reproduce his results:
- He encountered eddy currents during his free-fall experiments due to the proximity of the magnets to any metal in the nearby structure.
- This is more controversial but makes a lot of sense to me. Boyd Bushman was a Senior Scientist at Lockheed Martin. He no doubt had a security clearance. It is understandable that while working there he would come across inertia reduction technology that occurs (as my experiments have shown) when an object or body with a dipole magnetic field moves in the direction of that field’s North to South pole.
Bushman could have used two attractively coupled magnets and a control instead of two repulsively coupled magnets and a control. His only verification for his claimed results were people on the ground floor telling him which object hit the ground first and which hit last. He did not use an accelerometer nor did he video tape them. There is no hard data from that experiment.
By using two attractively coupled magnets and a control he could have claim the magnet object was the control and the control was the repulsively coupled magnet object. If he made that switch the ‘control’ would fall faster than the ‘repulsive magnets’.
Perhaps he hoped others would conduct exhaustive experiments with all four combinations: NS/NS, NS/SN, SN/NS, SN/SN, and a Control like I did because for him to get the truth out he would be breaking his security clearance.
