Closed Timelike Curve (CTC) Construct
Scale Model prototype
by Thomas G Skeggs
The main aim of this CTC Construct, scale model prototype is to test a hypothetical design (I discovered by accident), for a device or construct to generate closed timelike curves. The CTC Construct is a scale model prototype for a full-sized manned prototype, known as the Flight Test Article (FTA): Defiance. The FTA: Defiance is an 12ft by 12ft by 6ft, prototype Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aerosplace vehicle, which has taken nearly six years to design. The design for the CTC Construct and FTA Defiance, was largely inspired by the work carried by Thomas Townsend Brown and Nikola Tesla. I have combined their work with quantum theory and the principles of electrostatics and tribo-electrification, to product a vehicle, unlike any other, (See figure one).

I orginally planned to begin construction on the FTA in the summer of 2001. But this date maybe put back until the winter of 2001, due to numerous construction problems.
It would be almost impossible for anyone to build a time machine, as it would require an extremely powerful energy source to drive it. But there maybe a more energy efficient way to travel through time, by building a device or construct to use a natural time machine like a quantum or astrological phenomanon, in the form of a worm hole or quantum singulary.
The CTC Construct model consists of two triangular shaped pyramids one placed on top of the other, with a smaller pyramid placed on top to create an apex above the model's centre of gravity. (see figure 2). The model is 2ft by 2ft by 1ft. The frame is made out of balsa wood, and has 3 coats of polyurethane varnish, plus 3 coats of high temperature heat resistant paint to protect the balsa wood frame from igniting.

The CTC Construct has a specially designed skin, which acts like a capacitor and it is capable of holding a strong electrostatic charge. The skin consists of a metallic-dielectric sandwich. The inner layer is charged positive and the outer layer charged negative, with the dielectric sandwiched between the two metallic layers. The inner and outer layers consists of several coats of nickel electroconductive paint which has a surface resistivity of 0.7 ohms per sq cm. The dielectric layer consists of polyurethane varnish, with a dielectric constant (k) of 2.5-2.6.
The skin's unique configuration maybe able to overcome the average weak energy condition, to produce tiny amounts of exotic matter, enough to create a same and observable antigravitic effect. The design for this skin configuration is based on the Casimir effect. And on the work carried out by Thomas Townsend Brown.
I have been working on a hypothsis that if you build a construct with a high electrically charged skin, then the space-time within the CTC Construct will move at a slower speed, than the space-time surrounding it. This hypothsis is explained in a paper I have written called the Tempus Codex. ( This paper is still being written and will be ready at the end of December, or the beginning of January 2001, I have also recently discovered on the Time Travel website, that a Russian scientist, Vadim Chernobrov from the Moscow's Aviation Institute, has also been coducting tests on a model similar to my design. Mr Chernobrov also believes that a device with an electromagnetic skin can create an time dilation to occur within the device).
The skin is energised by the model's Main Propulsion System (MPS). The MPS works in unison with the electroconductive skin, and uses the principle of tribo-electrification. This is where friction can generate and electrical charge. The MPS uses a oxygen and/or hydrogen gas mixture, ionised in a small chamber and is blown upwards through a pipe, where ions hit the inner surface of the electroconductive skin. (The MPS uses a 15Kv transformer to ionise the gas mixture). This results in an very high electricstatic charge building up on the electroconductive skin, due to the friction from the flow of millions of ions. Not only does this MPS/electroconductive skin configuration produce a high electrostatic charge. This configuration may also produce thrust. When the ions strike the inner surface of the skin, they produce kinetic energy. This kinetic energy is focused downwards by the pyramid shape, and the kinetic energy radiates along the skin's surface travelling downwards resulting in a small thrust.
The MPS is positioned inside the CTC Construct, at the centre of gravity. A pipe connects the MPS to the inside of the hollow apex, located in the top of the construct. Located around the apex are 3-1.5mm holes, where ionised gas is allowed to escape. This ionised gas reacts with the surrounding air molecules and gives them an electrical charge. The air molecules are then repelled by the electroconductive skin, and this results in a boundary layer to form around the CTC Construct. This process results in a reduction in drag. This process is known as,"plasma magic", (See New Scientist Magazine. 28th Oct2000).
Due to the small size of the model, not all the necessary systems can fit inside it. So a special jig has been made for the model to sit on during testing. In the centre of the jig, is a small plastic pipe with three inlet pipes. Hydrogen and oxygen gas is produced by a home-made electrolysis cell. The hydrogen/oxygen mixture is blown into the MPS, by using a 12 volt air pump.
Inside the top pyramid forms a hollow apex. Inside the hollow apex are 3 small plastic pipe connectors. These connectors are joined by silicone tubes to the Reaction Control & Stabiliser System (RCSS). Ionised gas from the hollow apex is forced down the silicone tubes by pressure within the apex, into the RCSS. The RCSS consists of 3 round pipe sections, fixed to 3 thrust chambers to create an RCSS assembly. Each RCSS assembly are placed in a triangular pattern with the CTC construct and are located at each tip of the model. Ionised gas is forced under pressure into the round pipe sections, where the gas mixture is given an additional high voltage charge. The ionised gas are accelerated out of the RCSS assemblies to produce thrust. Each RCSS assembly will be powered by a 5Kv Cockcroft-Walton multiplier.
The CTC Construct is simple in design, but complex to manufacture. The CTC Construct, Scale Model Prototype has taken 4 months to build so far. And it may require another month of work before it is ready for testing. Due to a small risk of fire caused by the mixing of hydrogen with oxygen. Numerous safety features, equipment and procedures are being added, and this may delay testing until early next year.
The CTC Construct consists of the following unique design features:
-
The CTC constuct has a unique double triangular pryamid shaped aerospace frame.
-
The CTC skin's configuration maybe able to overcome the average weak energy condition, to produce tiny amounts of exotic matter, enough to create an antigravitic effect. The design for this skin configuration is based on the Casimir effect. And on the work carried out by Thomas Townsend Brown.
-
The CTC Construct skin configuration maybe able to overcome the average weak energy condition. The space-time within the CTC Construct will move at a slower speed, than the space-time surrounding it.
-
The CTC may generate an antigravitic effect, plus drag reduction. This means small ion motors can be used for directional control. Resulting in a massive saving in weight and mass by not having to install large and heavy standard aircraft engines or rocket motors.
-
The Main Propulsion System/skin configuration uses tribo-electrification, to generate a very high electrostatic charge. This MPS/skin configuration acts just like a Van de Graaff generator.
-
The CTC construct has a unique propellantless fuel system. It uses atomspheric air as a propellent when in the earth's atmosphere and hydrogen when in space. Hydrogen is also used during take-off to generate more thrust.
-
The FTA will have a unique water-based propellant. Water is converted into hydrogen and oxygen, the hydrogen is used as fuel for the ion/plasma generator, and on the full size prototype the oxygen is used to maintain life support.
-
The water-based fuel system does away with large and bulky cryogenic fuel tanks resulting in a greater payload capability and large savings in weight.
-
The CTC construct has a drag reduction skin to reduce friction and wave drag, in a process known as,"Plasma Magic".
-
Due to the lack of alervons, rudders, and flaps this offers a considerable savings in weight and can dramatically reduce drag.
-
The unique shape of the CTC construct, makes it ideal for taking off and landing vertically.
