American electrical engineer who ran private Electrogravitics experiments at Texas Tech University from 1965 to 1972 using a homemade 300 kilovolt supply, and who corresponded with Townsend Brown from 1968. His dielectric cylinders reached thrusts of up to half their own weight, rising with the dielectric constant, and pulsed direct current worked best. Brown’s letters to him, reproduced as appendix A of Paul LaViolette’s book, carry the disclosure that field nonlinearity rather than field strength drives the effect, and Brown’s 1968 answer that he had never got an anti-gravitic device to lift from the ground with its weight entirely removed.
