Question

Kindly send me detailed eplanation about it or some link would also do

Answer 1

It's a movie. See http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0087910/

Answer 2

The Philadelphia experiment was a study done by a
team of scientists from all over the country, way back
in the 1950s, which was to determine just how "free-
thinking" rats can be.
It's because of its subject matter (freedom of thought)
that it was called "The Philadelphia Experiment." But,
a little known fact is that it was conducted nowhere in
Philadelphia, or even the state of Pennsylvania. It was
conducted--from January of 1956 to February of 1957--
in the state of Ohio. (In Cleavland.)
In 1984, a movie by the very same was released. But,
the motion picture hasn't anything at all to do with the
1956-'57 experiment--which, unfortunately, was said
by all the newspapers back then, to have been a total
and complete failure.
The movie grossed big bucks, though.

Answer 3

The Philadelphia Experiment was an alleged naval military experiment at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sometime around the date of October 28, 1943, in which the U.S. destroyer escort USS Eldridge was to be rendered invisible to human observers for a brief period of time. It is also referred to as Project Rainbow.
The U.S. Navy has stated that the experiment never occurred, and furthermore, details of the story contradict stated facts about the Eldridge. It has nonetheless caused a significant ripple effect in many conspiracy theory circles, and elements of the Philadelphia Experiment are featured in many other government conspiracy tales.

Answer 4

The legend goes that it all started when shipyard buildlers used huge electric currents to butt-weld the big steel plates of ships together; tools, etc would tend to disappear and never be found, starting research into early "stealth" technology, with supposedly disasterous results. Renegade scientist John Hutchison of Canada is supposed to be attempting to duplicate this experiment on small scale to see if the legendary results can be verified.
