Marinov Stefan. The thorny way of truth. Part 08

International Publishers East-West, 1990. — 328 p.The eighth part of the collection of documents THE THORNY WAY OF TRUTH (TWT) ist dedicated quite the whole to the Ampere-Grassmann controversy, i.e., to the problem whether the interaction between two current elements is to be described by the Ampere (1823) or Grassmann (1845) formula. The first one is In conformity with Newton's third law, while the second one violates it. Although Marinov's experiments with unclosed circuits violated Newton's third law and thus definitely resolved.
the controversy in favour of Grassmann, further investigations are needed for clearing the basic problem about the interaction between moving charges. Marinov's theoretical and experimental research is presented which leads to the conclusion that the pushing force which acts on the Ampere bridge can be not calculated and the only way for establishing its magnitude is the experimental measurement. This conclusion offers a highly interesting and instructive illustration on the touching points between mathematical abstraction and physical reality and on the "astuteness" of Nature in hiding its weaknesses. Another big problem to which the present volume is dedicated is the violation of the energy conservation law in plasma physics. Marinov is photographed above when inspecting one of the plasma converters of the Bulgarian scientist Cyril Chukanov, the thermal output power of which superates the electric input power. Although the measurements are not still conclusive, Marinov intends with this presentation to turn the attention of the scientific community to this topic; many other scientists purport the same claims, as the Russian plasma-physlclst Alexander Chernetski, on whose over-unity plasma converter information is also given.Preface (пердисловие).
