              NEW resonance technologies and LEVITATION.
                           Shironosov  V.G
  I. Levitation... it is very simple! (popular)
 II. New resonance technologies.
III. Resonant confinement of bodies and particles (from elementary  up
     to macro) in inhomogeneous  electromagnetic  fields  without  any
     external feedback. (for the specialists)
I.                LEVITATION...  IT  IS VERY SIMPLE!
     Such, indeed , is the case in science. First  we  think  that  it
cannot be!  Then...  yes,  it  is  possible.  Finally  we  come  to  a
conclusion: it is obvious, it is simple.
     The temple of charm ( a mechanical, optical and physical study of
the well-known Russian illusions creator Gamuletsky which has  existed
up to 1942 ) was famous for its staircase. Going upstairs the visitors
could see from the very below a gold angel's figure levitated  in  the
air without any support. It was as big as a human being.  When  coming
up you could see Seraphim lifting  a  French  horn  to  his  lips  and
playing it. His fingers moved as if he was a real person. According to
Gamuletsky's notes 10  years  had  been  spent  on  searching  of  the
'supporting' point i.e. for the location and weight of the magnet  for
the figure to be kept in the air.
     Most likely Gamuletsky felt that there were deep inner  relations
of the world with the cut-and-try method, errors and calculations.  He
made a break-down into the unknown. But  further  recommendations  for
the wonder to be made had not been left.
     In their turn Orthodox Moslems believe that  a  coffin  with  the
Prophet's body is hanging in the air without  any  support.  As  Euler
wrote it was said that Mahomet's coffin was  being  supported  by  the
force of the magnet (p.159, (1) ). Is it  possible  or  not?  Perelman
considers it to be impossible. If thanks to  the  magnetic  attraction
the similar equilibrium was observed even for a moment  the  slightest
blow of the wind would be enough it - and then the coffin  would  fall
down on the floor or would be tightened to the  ceiling.  To  keep  it
motionless is practically impossible. It can be compared with  a  cone
standing on its top. Though from the theoretical point of view  it  is
quite acceptable (p.159, (2) ).
     Different reports on levitation of the subjects in the  localized
area are often perceived as something pseudo-scientific.
     Eventually  the  phenomenon  was  called  -    levitation.    The
encyclopedia explains it as " a rising of  the  body  up  to  the  air
without any mechanism". But there is no scientific explanation to this
phenomenon yet. Probably it is impossible to do this on the  basis  of
the concepts and approaches that exist in physics. But we  should  not
be satisfied with the ancient equivalent which explains levitation  as
" a supernatural ability to become light whenever we  need  ,  at  our
will ". The concept mixes  everything  up:  legends,  myths,  and  all
surprising facts. Actually, everything is much  easier.  There  is  no
prophet in Motherland. As early as last century Peter Lebedev, Russian
scientist, described resonance as the most  characteristic  phenomenon
in the nature.
     In engineering and machinery resonance was  diligently  bypassed.
Until now in the school textbooks an example on  resonance  (a  bridge
has fallen down because of the soldiers platoon marching , though  the
military instructions say that bridges should be  passed  along  in  a
free step ) is given in  the  very  ordinary  way.  Resonance  can  be
explained in different ways.
     Two events took place at one and the same time:
     A team of the foreign scientists of three  persons  in  1989  was
rewarded with the Nobel Prize for the non-resonant levitation  of  the
charged particles in the electronic traps without feedback.  Resonance
levitation continued to consider impossible.
     A team of the Russian scientists  of  three  persons  has  proved
theoretically and experimentally (for macro-body) the  possibility  of
resonant confinement of bodies and particles (from  elementary  up  to
macro ) in inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields without  any  external
feedback ( Letters to JTP, JPT, RAS USSR, 1983). The idea  itself  was
suggested as early as in 1972 (Filatov A.I.).
     As it had happened many times in our  country  the  work  of  the
scientists  has  not  been  noticed.  From  both    theoretical    and
experimental points of view a break-down has been made and  the  bases
for the new technologies  have  been  laid.  The  possibility  of  the
resonant selective hanging up of  the  bodies  and  particles  in  the
inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields without any external feedback has
been demonstrated. For the non-professionals: such small  subjects  as
"pens and pencils" were levitating  without  any  support  inside  the
installation in the course of the experiment. The foundations for  the
new resonance technologies have been laid by Lebedev (1890) and  those
experiments. It was the basis for the great improvement of the economy.
      As a result in 1989 that research 'was rewarded'. The scientific
subdivision was excluded from the Academy of Sciences as  if  "it  was
not working effectively". A bridge between the science and the  budget
was broken. A great improvement turned out to be a  defeat.  A  flight
appeared to be a fall.
     It is very difficult to survive,  but  we  must  not  betray  our
Motherland. It is a sin. The first ready to fly will  be  the  winner.
For the resonance tech need to have the wings - this is the reason why
the Scientific-Research Center  "IKAR"  was  born.  The  international
information  system  on  resonance  technologies  with  the   electron
carriers will serve to reach the aim. "MIS - RT"  is  supposed  to  be
produced in SRC "IKAR" in Izhevsk.
     Resonance was called " the  most  characteristic  state  for  the
nature   by Lebedev, a russian scientist. According to the latest data
it is a very stable state,  probably,  the  most  one.  History  is  a
witness to this: as long as a man had not tried to  interfere  in  the
earth's processes there were no disasters on Earth. By now a  man  has
been lost in serious diseases. Our body consists  of  the  synchronous
frame of the ordered resonant - interacting molecules. Each cell has a
clock which strikes the time. In case if one or another cell  dies  or
does  not  react  correctly  the  whole  body  will  start  suffering.
Sometimes it leads to death. The very same processes take place  in  a
human society.
     It looks as if in Russia a chain reaction has started  its  work.
Tens of streams  used  resonance  technologies  are  pulsing  in  many
regions of the country: laser;  resonance  mechanisms,  tools,  flying
machines,  conveyers  considering  their  high    quality    technical
parameters they  differ  from  those  we  have  now;  new  systems  of
activation of liquid medium which allow consumption of  energy  to  be
much reduced -  e.g.  when  purifying  water  to  have  it  free  from
chlorine, dioxine or when intensifying the technological processes  in
agriculture , food production, building construction, e so on;  unique
high effective installations with low energy and non-contact influence
where the resonance effect is used  to  treat  and  prevent  different
kinds of diseases.
II.                   New resonance technologies
     By now it is possible to recognize the most promising  directions
in the area of resonance technologies:
    -development of resonant traps  for  the  particles  of  different
types and size (from elementary  up  to  macro)  without  an  external
feedback; investigation of properties  and  dynamics  of  the  certain
particles in the traps (including electrons, atoms and molecules  with
their further packing on a board - this is  a  molecular  technology);
development of resonant traps where plasma  is  to  be  used;  self  -
confinement plasma;
    -development of the new  non-contact  methods  for  prophylactics,
treatment and diagnostics on the basis of effect of resonant fields on
biological systems; biochemical reaction control;
    -selective separation of different  kinds  of  powders  (magnetic,
ferromagnetic,  abrasive  etc.)  for  magnetic  information   carriers
(magnetic disks, tapes) in particular;
    -new  resonant    supersensitive    sensors    of    the    fields
(electromagnetic, acoustic, hydrodynamic, seismic, gravitational);
    -robotization i.e. spatial  non-contact  orientation,  confinement
and controlling of microparts when assembling systems, instruments and
devices;
    -weighing, confinement and movement of  bodies  (engine  rotors,
toys, transport where a magnetic suspension is used).
III.         Resonant confinement of bodies and particles
                  (from  elementary  up  to macro )
               in inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields
                   without  any  external feedback.
                     P.S. (for the specialists):
     Impossibility of  levitation  is  usually  based  on  the  strict
statement (Braunbec) that it  is  impossible  to  build  up  a  stable
configuration  using  non-conducting  charged  or  magnetized   bodies
(Irnshow's theorem)  in  a  medium  with  dielectric  permittivity  or
magnetic permeability higher or equal to  1.  It  occurs  due  to  the
following fact: there are the only special points  so  called  'saddle
points' for the potential energy of  any  body  in  the  static  field
(electrical, magnetic, gravitational...) with no sources of the  field
in the area of weighing i.e. there are no stable 'pits' where  a  body
can be settled. In one direction  the  body  will  correspondingly  be
involved into the area of weighing and in the other  one  it  will  be
pushed out.
     But what is forbidden in statics may turn out to  be  allowed  in
dynamics  (  in  the  variable  fields  when  the  bodies  are  moving
themselves ). Perhaps the first statement of this could have been seen
in Mathieu's work (1838 ) devoted to  the  problem  of  the  diaphragm
vibration.
     It turned out to be that in the corresponding equation (Mathieu's
one):
               ..
                X +(h+2e*cos(2*Z))*X=0                    (1)
where X = dX / dz , z = w * t, w is frequency of vibration ,a  dynamic
stability of the unstable  state  in  statics  ( h<0 )  out   of   the
resonance area had  simultaneously  been  assumed  and  described.  An
example of this is a dynamic stability of the inverted pendulum with a
vibrating point of a support described by ( 1 ) at small angles of its
deviation from a vertical.
     Simple reasonings show that at large w vibration of the point  of
the support of the pendulum is equivalent to  the  appearance  of  the
effective returning force to a vertical. When the rod of the  pendulum
is accelerated downwards the angle X  decreases  by  X1 accordingly  a
deviating moment of the forces decreases when the rod keeps on  moving
up. As a consequence, the angle ( X-X1 ) will increase only by  X2

Subject: 204 contaminant
From: lippy@UVic.CA (D.Lippert)
Date: 12 Jan 1997 18:56:45 -0500
I have a question concerning a possible contaminant in a sample
analyzed by ESI.  We know that the sample contains a biologically
active peptide.  However, ESI of this material shows no peptide peaks,
instead we see a series of peaks which are all multiples of 204 (204,
408, 613, and 817).  CID data of the larger peaks shows that they all
collapse to 204, and the 204 peak fragments to give 187, 169, 158, and
145.  Does anyone recognize this pattern?  Could it be a membrane
lipid or a plasticizer?  If we knew what it was we could try removing
it with chromatography, but as it stands, we can only guess as to what
techniques may work.  Thanks in advance for any answers.

Dear Dustin,
Can you give us some idea of the conditions that you are measuring
under?
Also what id the nature of the sample, is the peptide synthetically
produced or isolated etc?  Their is a fair chance it is a buffer salt of
some sort.
Cheers

What kind of simulation are you looking for ?  If the intention is
to calculate fragments from a known structure, see my reply to Ian
Laubscher in this news group ("Software to Interpret Mass Spectrum
from First Principles").  Are you looking for teaching software, or
research software ?  I would suggest Kermit Murray's MS page as the
best central location for MS resources on the Internet:
	http://tswww.cc.emory.edu/~kmurray/mslist.html
Good luck with your search, and please let us know what programs you
find most helpful!

Analytical Chemists:
There appears to be a fake message on an anonymous Web site -- and 
on the search engines! -- about Shimadzu and Kratos. It could be 
from a competitor or from a disgruntled user. Pay no attention to 
anonymous information! I also got two anonymous letters pointing out
the site -- one may have been sent out by one of those spamming 
services.
This is a new way the Web can be dangerous. Anonymous libel. Be on 
your toes!
Pass the word.
