Abstract

Over the past two summers at Bucknell University, students in engineering have been working on an innovative detector that has repeatedly produced results indicative of a real Machian like reaction force to inertia. As a team, they helped their professor successfully continue the hunt to answer the query of whether a Mach Effect (inertial reaction force) is detectable. Due partly to their efforts the science around this instrument is now robust and this novel device provides consistent, replicable and predictable results. The students applied much of their theoretical electrical engineering training to a real-world application in sensor arrays and instrumentation.
