What technology was used in the Philadelpia Project (Project Eldridge)?

Answer 1

The Philadelphia project was just some conspiracy hoax that never happened, but the story goes something like this. The project was based on a variation of einsteins unified field theory, using huge electromagnets they were trying to make an object (in this case a boat) invisible both to radar & to the human eye by bending light around that object.
Knowing what we know today the effects described as happening during the philadelphia experiment, would not be the result of being exposed to too strong of a magnectic field.

Answer 2

I don't know for sure but I'm willing to guess. The basic Idea was to create a magnetic field so strong that it would bend light so that the ship would be invisible or most likely look like the Predator in the movie of the same name.

Again, I don't know but am more than willing to speculate wildly. My guess would be that a good way to create magnetic field of massive intensity would be to switch the field off and on at just the right frequency. So that the collapsing and expanding fields would pump each other up and I speculate the intensity could be increased to infinite proportions.

I've always thought that magnetic fields were harmless, but a few years ago there was a group selling a bactericide that used a magnetic field to kill bacteria. I questioned them on by just what mechanism the bacteria were killed and they were unable to explain to my satisfaction. But presented test data to which indicated that the bacteria was killed by the magnetic field.

If you do a little research on MRI equipment you will see that they stay away from certain frequencies.

My guess is the cover up has to do with undisclosed hazards caused by magnetic fields. Like the one hitting you in the face assuming you are reading this on a CRT.

Answer 3

There were trying to make a ship invisible to radar. It didn't work the way it was planned and actually opened a small wormhole. The technology involved rotating magnetic fields, from what I remember. It turned out to be an ugly mess, and was mothballed. Perhaps today it would be better able to be handled. I mean, the setup back then was still vaccuum tube driven.... Oh, and it's not a conspiracy hoax. :) That was planted by the military to make anyone who looks into it, seem to be a nutbag. It did indeed happen. There are witnesses to it.
