Preface

mathematically give basic physical laws established experimentally:
the Maxwell equations, the Lorentz force, the Gauss theorem; the laws:
Coulomb, Biot – Savard, Ampere, electromagnetic induction, Ohm,
Joule – Lenz, Wiedemann – Franz, universal gravitation, and etc.
In the methodology of mathematical modeling [1–5], the mathe-
matical model is considered adequate if the consequences of it corre-
spond to all well-established experimental facts. Therefore, according
to the methodology of mathematical modeling, it is possible to make
a conclusion about the adequacy of the mathematical model of the
ether, presented as a continuity equation and Newton's second law,
for describing of the electromagnetic and gravitational processes.
The logical construction of the ether theory is essentially more
transparent than that commonly used in physics: experimental verifica-
tion is required for the ether equations and the equation of its state, but
not for various formulations of numerous physical laws, derived here
as the formal logical consequences of the ether equations. Although the
mathematical aspects of reasoning at deriving of some physical laws
from the ether equations can be quite complicated.
The studies performed are based on well-known information from
the continuous mechanics and electrodynamics [6–39]. Here, this in-
formation is systematized and advanced to obtain the etheric interpre-
tation of electrical, magnetic, gravitational and kinetic processes.
The equations of microlevel dynamics of the ether on the scales
of atomic times and distances are proposed by N.A. Magnitskii in
[40]. Macro-level equations of the ether are proposed by V.L. By-
chkov in [41–44]. The hierarchy of mathematical models of the ether
is considered in the article [45]. Some results of these papers are pre-
sented and advanced in this book.
Publications [40, 46–50] and given there in bibliography are de-
voted to studies of the microlevel processes in the ether. This book
deals mainly with the macro-level phenomena.
The book presents the following new results. Using the approach
of [45], a system of equations is derived from the macrolevel equa-
tions of the ether; it generalizes the Maxwell equations with regard to
12
the macrolevel effects. The etheric interpretations are given for the
charge, the Gauss theorem, Coulomb's law, electric potential, electric
current, electromagnetic energy, and electrostatic effects. The ether
equation of state is proposed. The following empirical regularities are
obtained as the mathematical consequences of the ether equations:
Biot – Savard law, formulas for the electric driving force, inductance
and resistance, Ampere's law for electric currents, Ohm's law, Joule-
Lenz law, Lorentz force for electric charges, potential difference in
the Hall effect, Wiedemann – Franz. Some effects are studied quanti-
tatively. The difference between the ether equations and the equations
of the fluid and gas mechanics is discussed. It is shown that the equa-
tion of the liquid and the gas motion can be interpreted as a special
case of the ether motion equation. Mathematical classification of the
ether steady state flows with separation into electric, gravitational and
magnetic ones is given. The structure of the ether carriers – the new-
tonians – is discussed; the thermal conductivity, heat capacity, viscos-
ity and electrical conductivity of the ether are estimated.
Many fundamental phenomena and paradoxes of physics find a
natural explanation in the proposed approach, based on the continuity
equation and the second law of Newton. For example: wave-particle
duality, different behavior of oppositely charged bodies in electric and
magnetic fields; gravitational interaction; phenomena associated with
magnets and electric currents, including superconductivity; interac-
tion of bodies with smooth surfaces; phase states of objects; quanti-
zation of processes; contactless charge transfer between conductors,
etc. At the same time, we do not use here the model of quantum me-
chanics with its set of postulates and principles.
The difficulties in explaining the above phenomena by modern
physics indicate the necessity to take into account the ether effects,
which are completely excluded from the consideration in it.
One of the main forces determining the behavior of many objects
in the inviscid medium is the Zhukovsky force (the lifting force). A
theoretical study of this force began in 1902–1906. The book shows
13
that the origin of the generalized Zhukovsky force allows one to nat-
urally explain two of the most fundamental and mysterious phenom-
ena – the motion of differently charged bodies in different directions
in the electric field and their rotation in opposite directions in the mag-
netic field. Besides, the forces arising from the vortex motion, al-
lowed us to give a natural interpretation of Ampere's law of the inter-
action of conductors with the current.
The study of continuous mechanics models, including the role of
Zhukovsky's force, turned out to be a rather complicated task from a
historical view; it required a lot of time and considerable efforts of the
outstanding scientists. The difficulty lies in the fact that the Zhu-
kovsky force in the general case arises in the volume, and the body on
which it acts can be partially permeable to the flow. In fact, detailed
and deeply comprehended results in this area appeared only in the first
half of the last century [6–9, 19]. It is possible that until then the ab-
sence of the detailed analysis of continuous mechanics models in the
form accessible to the wide scientific community was one of the rea-
sons for the theory of relativity expansion, which rejects the notion of
the medium (physical vacuum, or the ether) and interprets experi-
ments and natural phenomena with a help of hard-to-understand par-
adoxes [74, 77–81]. For example, upon reaching the speed of light, an
object must lose its geometrical dimensions, in particular, moving
with the speed of light photon should become a point; the mass, elec-
tric and magnetic fields turn into infinity; time stops (the clock para-
dox) [29, sec. 106, 111; 14, p. 317–319].
From the point of view of the mathematical modeling methodol-
ogy, the theory of relativity is a certain mathematical model with its
initial postulates. This model is not criticized and not contested in the
book. Instead, we offer another general mathematical model of na-
ture, which gives phenomena much more convincing explanations
grounded on two fundamental laws.
The proposed mathematical model is based on the equations of
continuity and motion of the continuous media (ether) that are invar-
14
iant with respect to the Galilean transformation. All the basic exper-
imental laws of electrodynamics and gravity are obtained here as a
mathematical consequence of these equations. Therefore, this mathe-
matical model confirms the Galileo – Newton principle of relativity,
according to which all physical equations and laws must be invariant
with respect to the Galilean transformation.
In section 2.5.4, added in the second Russian edition, it is shown
that the classical Maxwell equations are invariant with respect to the
Galilean transformation to coordinates moving with the sublight
speed if these equations are considered not in the empty space, but in
the medium. The loss of the invariance of the Maxwell equations in
the general case is due to the non-invariant transformation of the
ether equation of motion, see sec. 2.5.3, 2.5.4.
It should be noted that starting from the XIX century the hydrody-
namic interpretation of the electromagnetic phenomena is widely rep-
resented in scientific and educational literature [6–9, 16–20], [34, p.
136]. However, prior to this work, a consistent, systematic study of
electrodynamics and electrical engineering based on the methods of the
continuous media mechanics practically has not been carried out. When
constructing the mathematical theory of the ether, it was necessary to
generalize the equations of the continuous media mechanics and con-
sider its motion in the general three-dimensional case.
The accumulated experimental facts and the inconclusiveness of
generally accepted physical interpretations or the absence of experi-
ments explanations have led to the active development in recent dec-
ades of various ether ideas about the natural phenomena. A bibliog-
raphy of modern approaches to the study of the ether and the literature
on some experiments are briefly discussed in the conclusion on p. 583.
The theory of the ether described in the book is distinguished by the
systematic application of the conservation of matter and momentum
laws to the analysis of experimental facts, by logical consistency and
mathematical elaboration.
15
The questions of experiments on the search for the ether wind and
experiments with moving light sources are not the subject of this
book. Nevertheless, they are briefly discussed in appendixes 2 and 3,
where we show the inconclusiveness of these experiments’ interpre-
tation, accepted in physics.
Section 23 contains many well-known and new experiments,
which, in accordance with the methodology of physics generalizing
the experimental facts, allow to draw (confirm) a conclusion about the
existence of the ether as the medium in which all processes take place.
It is interesting to note that Einstein in his later studies, see, for
example: [99], as a result of the logical analysis of the relativity theory
paradigm, came to the formulation of the problem of finding a com-
mon basis for the concepts of matter, field and energy. On the basis of
these Einstein studies, within the framework of the relativity theory, a
direction is developed in which natural phenomena are considered as
occurring in a certain media. The teaching of the relevant courses be-
gins in the leading institutions of high school. For example, in MIPT
(Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology) since 2009, the stu-
dents' training program includes a course of electrodynamics that does
not use the concept of empty space [100]. Such trends provide addi-
tional confirmation of the need to revise the theoretical interpretation
of natural phenomena that dominated in the twentieth century.
We emphasize once again that in this book the theory of relativity
is not used. Instead, the book offers a different model of nature.
The book uses the CGS units of measurement with the absolute
Gaussian system for measuring the electrical and magnetic quantities.
This system of units is more convenient with respect to the SI system
for the description of the ether since it does not contain artificially
introduced parameters 𝜀𝜀0 and 𝜇𝜇0 .
Some analytical solutions of equations were obtained using the
Maple symbolic computing system (www.maplesoft.com).
The material presented here, regardless of the attitude to the hy-
pothesis of the ether existence and its physical interpretation, can be
16
considered as a new effective mathematical apparatus for the detailed
study of the electrical, magnetic and gravitational phenomena.
The application of the new theoretical apparatus using methods
of the applied mathematics began in [50]. Research in this direction
is of primary importance since the detailed understanding of the nat-
ural phenomena hidden from the direct observation opens the possi-
bility of creating fundamentally new devices and technologies for en-
ergy production and storage, information processing, motion in space,
and mastering the force of gravity.
Some publications in open sources, cited in the first Russian edi-
tion of the book, were supported by "New Inflow" LLC, Moscow,
Russia.
The first edition of the book [101] caused great interest, especially
among scientists studying the most fundamental laws of nature. The
entire print run was distributed in less than six months. The review of
this book was presented in reports at the physics and the mechanics
and mathematics faculties of the M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State Uni-
versity (MSU), at the Institute for Problems of Mechanics RAS, at the
Peoples' Friendship University of Russia at the seminar on modern
problems of physics, and in other organizations. Videos of some re-
ports and their discussion, as well as slides of the presentations, can be
found on the sites: eth21.ru, lenr.seplm.ru, шаровая-молния.орг.
In 2018, the book won the M.V. Lomonosov MSU competition
of outstanding works important for the development of science and
education.
In the second Russian edition, the range of issues discussed was
expanded, some formulations were clarified, and a number of minor
typos were corrected. The kinetic theory of the ether has been con-
structed. The ether thermal conductivity, heat capacity, viscosity, self-
diffusion, and electrical conductivity are considered. Ether models of
the thermal and the electrical conductivities in the solid substance are
presented. Much attention is paid to the demonstration of the ether
17
theory application to the study of various phenomena, more than sev-
enty experiments have been analyzed. We list the new sections and
sections with important modifications: the preface, 1, 1.4, 2.4, 2.5,
12.2, 12.3, 16.1, 18.2, 18.10–18.14, 21, 22.2, 23–25, and conclusion.

of the ether does not depend on its interpretation as a non-moving
medium in which perturbations propagate (not necessarily small), or
as the medium whose carriers move. That is, the mathematical model
of the ether describes both cases. In addition, the construction of the
ether mathematical model does not rely on the idea of it as a solid,
liquid, gas or plasma. On the contrary, the initial quantitative relations
and the consequences of them allow to build reasonable hypotheses
about the possible structure of the ether carriers and to suggest exper-
iments on their verification. The simplest model of the structure of the
ether carriers is presented in sec. 21.1–21.3.
The equations of the ether dynamics are based on two generally
accepted fundamental laws, namely, the law of conservation of matter
and the law of conservation of momentum (the second law of Newton).
The hierarchy of mathematical models of the ether was proposed
in [45]. In relation to the characteristic times and scales of atomic pro-
cesses, the models are divided into micro- and macrolevel ones. This
book deals mainly with the macro-level models.
The system of equations for the description of the ether on atomic
characteristic times and scales was proposed by N.A. Magnitskii, see
[40, 46–49] and references therein. In [45], this system was general-
ized to the case of much greater times and scales, including the level
of direct observation of material objects.
The results of the listed papers are presented and advanced in this
section. The discussion of the differences between the equations of
the ether and the equations of the fluid mechanics is continued here.
The concept of the ether energy is introduced. The equation of state
of the ether is proposed.

The semi-Lagrangian form of writing one or another equation can be interpreted
as consideration of its Eulerian notation, which is valid at any point (𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫) in the
domain of the equation, on the trajectory �𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)� of a lagrangian particle with roll-
ing up of the corresponding partial derivatives into a full derivative over time
23
having come from a certain initial state to a final state, can pass from
it back to the initial state.
We emphasize that, mathematically, the law of conservation of mo-
mentum in the ether (2) is identical to Newton's second law for the ma-
terial point of a variable mass at the absence of the force (see sec. 1.2).
In appendix 4, it is proved that for the equation of motion with
the zero right hand side (2) the trajectories of Lagrangian particles of
the medium outside its discontinuities are straight lines (at that the
current lines for unsteady motion can be curved). However, objects
observed in the ether can be formed due to the spontaneous formation
of discontinuities in the medium (see sec. 6.1, and also the example
considered in [50]). Equations (1)–(3) are not defined in the differen-
tial form directly on the discontinuities, since the derivatives on the
discontinuity do not exist. In this area, additional conditions are added
to (1)–(3), including the ones following from the integral form of the
ether equations (see sec. 6).
It is possible that the microlevel model (1)–(3) requires an intro-
duction of the volume density of the force in the right hand side of the
equation (2), the force that describes the interaction of carriers (struc-
tural elements) of the ether.
The solution of the system (1)–(3) causes difficulties at the de-
scription of the macrolevel phenomena, when it is necessary to study
the behavior of a system consisting of a significant number of objects
of the ether, such as atoms, since there is a strong difference in the
typical times and spatial scales of the processes. In addition, it is nec-
essary to take into account a large number of discontinuities of the
sought-for functions. Besides, the numerical modeling of objects at
the macrolevel using equations (1)–(3) is not possible even with ap-
plication of supercomputers being developed now.
We construct the macrolevel model of the ether for describing the
motion of individual microobjects on a basis of the general form of
the medium continuity law and Newton's second law. In the Lagrange
variables we have

tion (5), where 𝑃𝑃 – is the ether internal tension, which can be intro-
duced by analogy with continuous mechanics. 𝑃𝑃 is a tensor. The rules
for calculating 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 𝑃𝑃 are described, for example, in [14, p. 138–144].
In the case of equality of the diagonal and the absence of non-
diagonal elements in 𝑃𝑃, a pressure 𝑝𝑝 is introduced; it is equal to the
value of the diagonal elements 𝑃𝑃 with the opposite sign (see, for ex-
ample: [9, p. 78] or [14, p. 158]). Then 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 𝑃𝑃 = −𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 𝑝𝑝. This case is con-
sidered in the book.
One of the reasons for the emergence of forces and sources is the
influence of the ether flows, described by equations (1)–(3) on the
boundaries (surfaces) of discontinuities and the refraction of trajecto-
ries. Expressions for the source and force are determined on the basis
of the experimental studies of macrolevel processes or on the basis of
theoretical concepts.
Examples of terms in the right parts of the ether equations in the
ether model of electrical engineering and electrochemistry at constant
density and their analysis are given in papers by V.L. Bychkov [41–
44]. Another example of the macroscopic force is the Lorentz force
(see sec. 2.1 and 16.1).
The concept of pressure in the continuous medium mechanics
takes into account the effect of internal tension of the medium resulting
from its motion or propagation of perturbations through it. Therefore,
the assumption of the presence of a similar property in carriers of the
ether is quite natural at least at the macrolevel. In addition, the pressure
has the dimension of the energy density, and its presence in the equa-
tion of motion can be interpreted as a description of transformations
between the kinetic energy and the internal energy of the medium.
Thus, the model (4)–(6) can be considered as a continuation of
the model (1)–(3) for typical times and scales, much greater the
atomic ones, in which sources and forces are introduced instead of
direct describing the effects on the discontinuities.
26
It is important to emphasize that discarding of 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 𝑝𝑝 and 𝐅𝐅 in the
equation of motion would exclude description of the electrostatic ef-
fects from the model, see formula (72) in sec. 3.
The model of the ether (4)–(6) as a continuous medium can be con-
sidered applicable up to the volume of the Lagrangian particle, which
contains about 103 structural elements of the ether. In sec. 21.1, 21.2,
the simplest model of such elements (newtonians) is considered and
their size is estimated. It is shown that newtonian is ~1013 times smaller
than the proton radius 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 (sec. 21.2). About of 103 newtonians can be
put in a volume with a linear size of ~10−12 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 , since (10−12 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 )3 /
(10−13 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 )3 = 103 . Therefore, depending on the concentration of new-
tonians, the model of the continuous media (4)–(6) can be applied at
very small distances, up to ~10−12 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 , that is, at the microlevel, for ex-
ample, to describe the motion of the ether in the proton and electron.
The principle of forces superposition follows from the equation
(5): the sum of solutions 𝜌𝜌𝑘𝑘 �𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫𝑘𝑘 (𝑡𝑡)� 𝐮𝐮𝑘𝑘 �𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫𝑘𝑘 (𝑡𝑡)� of the equation (5)
with the right hand sides
�𝐅𝐅𝑘𝑘 �𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫, 𝐮𝐮𝑘𝑘 (𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫)� + 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 𝑃𝑃𝑘𝑘 �𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫, 𝐮𝐮𝑘𝑘 (𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫)��
𝐫𝐫=𝐫𝐫𝑘𝑘 (𝑡𝑡)
is the solution of the equation (5) with the right hand side, in which
the sum of
�𝐅𝐅𝑘𝑘 �𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫, 𝐮𝐮𝑘𝑘 (𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫)� + 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 𝑃𝑃𝑘𝑘 �𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫, 𝐮𝐮𝑘𝑘 (𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫𝑘𝑘 )��
𝐫𝐫=𝐫𝐫𝑘𝑘 (𝑡𝑡)
over 𝑘𝑘 is present.
The ether density can be measured in different units.
Electromagnetic units [s g1/2 /cm3/2 ] of measuring the ether
density 𝜌𝜌 in the CGS system (with the absolute Gaussian system) are
introduced in the reference [52] (see also appendix 5). The coinci-
dence of the dimensions of the physical quantities generated by the
27
ether with the traditional units of their measurement is shown; new
systems of units using the ether density are discussed.
At the macro level, it is possible to measure the force impact.
Therefore, at the macrolevel, by analogy with the mechanical density,
mechanical units are introduced for the density of the ether in [g/cm3 ]
or [kg/m3 ], as in [41]. However, mechanical units are not always
convenient for the interpretation of electrical phenomena, since they
give an unconventional dimension of electric and magnetic fields,
charge and other physical quantities (see sec. 20.1). Nevertheless, me-
chanical units reveal and clarify the mechanical side of the electro-
magnetic phenomena. The density of the ether, expressed in mechan-
ical units, we will denote further by 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 .
To establish the relationship between the physical quantities ex-
pressed in terms of the ether density in various units of measurement,
we introduce a constant equal to the ratio of the numerical value of the
unperturbed ether density 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0, obtained in mechanical units, to the
value of the unperturbed ether density 𝜌𝜌0 in the electromagnetic units:
The constant 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 in the CGS system (with the absolute Gaussian
system) has the dimension of the charge density[g1/2 /(s cm3/2 )].
Thus, the density of the ether in mechanical units 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 is related to the
density of the ether in the electromagnetic units 𝜌𝜌 as follows:
28
also obtained there. In sec. 20.1 we discuss the expression of the elec-
tromagnetic quantities in the mechanical units and, conversely, the
expression of the mechanical quantities in the electromagnetic units.
In sec. 20.7 we give the values of the constants 𝜌𝜌0 , 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0, 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 . Ap-
pendix 5 presents the new systems of units related to 𝜌𝜌.
For the ether medium consisting of a large number of material
objects and ether flows with brakes of trajectories, where the equa-
tions (1)–(6) are not applicable in differential form, it is necessary to
use models of the continuous media in the integral form by analogy,
for example, with [10, p. 55], or models describing the medium using
distribution functions according to the methodology of the statistical
physics [38].
the second term in the left part can be interpreted as the force term.
In the classical continuous media mechanics, the continuity equa-
tion has the same form as the equation (4). However, the equation of
motion is different. In the classical mechanics of continuous media
the following equation is derived (see, for example: [10, p. 55, equa-
tion (5.5)] and [14, p. 137, 144]), basing on the momentum conserva-
tion law in the integral form and the formula for differentiation of the
integral with respect to the moving volume [10, p. 37, equation
(15.7)], that is, the differentiation of the volume integral depending
on a parameter,
Further, the first term in the right hand side of equation (7) is
excluded taking into account the continuity equation and in the ab-
sence of sources one comes to the formula:
30
𝑑𝑑𝐮𝐮�𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)�
𝜌𝜌�𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)� = (𝐅𝐅 + 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 𝑃𝑃)𝐫𝐫=𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡) . (8)
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
Thus, the formal difference between the equation of the ether mo-
tion (5) and the equation of motion in the classical continuous media
mechanics (8), including the gas and hydrodynamics, consists in the
presence in the equation (5) of the force term 𝐮𝐮(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)) 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡))/
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 (analogue of the term arising in the second Newton's law in the
case of time-dependent mass). Although, as noted in [14] on page 137,
various forces in the continuous mechanics can be added if necessary.
The first term in the right hand side of the equation (7) arises due
to the time variation of the moving volume [10, p. 37]. This circum-
stance allows us to give a geometrical interpretation of the difference
in the motion of the ether flow density from the motion of the flow a
density, considered in the mechanics of the continuous medium (liq-
uid and gas). The magnitude of the elementary volume of the contin-
uous medium, consisting of a large number of material carriers gen-
erated by the ether, generally speaking, can vary over a wide range.
While disturbances in the ether propagate with the preservation of the
elementary volume magnitude.
The physical interpretation of the differences is as follows. Fluid
and gas mechanics consider a medium with a liquid volume (see, for
example: [21, p. 147]), that is, a medium in which any selected vol-
ume always consists of the same particles and its boundary in the pro-
cess of deformations are formed from the same particles (particles of
the medium do not cross the boundary of this volume). In other words,
there is a fairly strong bond between the particles of the medium.
However, not all the media and phenomena have such a property, for
example, the bulk medium (sand-like) may not have such a property,
as well as the process of propagation of matter perturbations in the
case when the matter itself is not carried. From this point of view, the
equations of mechanics of liquid and gas can be considered as a spe-
31
cial case of the equations (4)–(6) when the hypothesis about the mo-
tion of a continuous medium in the form of liquid volumes is valid,
leading to the presence of a force compensating the term
𝐮𝐮(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡))𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)) /𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑.
In the mathematical theory of the ether, the effect of the density
change in time 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡))/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 plays a crucial role in the equation of
motion (5) (see, for example: [49]). Besides, unlike the equation (8),
it is the equation of motion (5) from which the Maxwell equations and
other generally accepted laws immediately follow, see [46–49] and
the following sections of this book. Otherwise, for non-constant den-
sity 𝜌𝜌 problems arise, for example, with obtaining of the Maxwell
equations from the equation of motion.
In the considered mathematical model of the ether, the continuity
equation (4), unlike the equation of motion (5), has the same form as
in the continuous media mechanics. This means that the description
of the behavior of the ether density and the density of the ether flow
is different. In the geometric interpretation, the density of the ether at
infinitely small distances spreads in the form of an elementary vol-
ume, the value of which can vary, and the flow density (momentum)
of the ether propagates with preservation of the value of the elemen-
tary volume.
It will be clear from what follows that the equation of the ether
motion plays the main role in the reproduction of physical laws. The
continuity equation is involved to resolve the system of the ether
equations in respect to 𝜌𝜌 and 𝐮𝐮.
A modification of the ether model can be considered, in which
instead of equation (4), by analogy with the equation of motion, the
conservation law is used
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑�𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)�
= 𝑞𝑞.
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
32
For the modified model, the general expressions obtained in this
book will remain valid if we formally replace 𝑞𝑞 with 𝑞𝑞 + 𝜌𝜌𝛁𝛁 ∙ 𝐮𝐮 in
them. But the properties and type of solutions 𝜌𝜌 and 𝐮𝐮 of the modified
system of the ether equations can differ. We illustrate this with the
example.
In a steady flow (partial derivatives of 𝜌𝜌 and 𝐮𝐮 are zero in time)
in the absence of sources 𝑞𝑞 = 0, the equation 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 0 goes to 𝐮𝐮 ∙
𝛁𝛁𝜌𝜌 = 0, and the equation (4) gives 𝜌𝜌𝛁𝛁 ∙ 𝐮𝐮 + 𝐮𝐮 ∙ 𝛁𝛁𝜌𝜌 = 0. As a result,
in the model (4) at 𝑞𝑞 = 0, the density isotropy of 𝜌𝜌 = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 implies
the divergence-free velocity of the steady state flow 𝛁𝛁 ∙ 𝐮𝐮 = 0, while
in the model 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 𝑞𝑞 at 𝑞𝑞 = 0, generally speaking, it is not the
case. Besides, for 𝜌𝜌 = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐, the system of equations 𝐮𝐮 ∙ 𝛁𝛁𝜌𝜌 = 0 and
(5), taking into account (15) when 𝛱𝛱 = 0, for the vortex-free velocity
field 𝛁𝛁 × 𝐮𝐮 = 0 gives the condition 𝛁𝛁𝐮𝐮2 = 0 (see (21)), meaning the
constancy of the velocity magnitude, and the restriction 𝛁𝛁 ∙ 𝐮𝐮 = 0
does not arise.
At present, the study of ether flows corresponding to various pro-
cesses is at the initial stage. Therefore, when difficulties arise in in-
terpreting the solutions 𝜌𝜌 and 𝐮𝐮 of the ether equations (4), (5), one
should be aware of the possibility of considering the modification of
the ether model, in which instead of equation (4) the conservation law
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑�𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)�/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 𝑞𝑞 is used.
We emphasize that this book shows that the original ether equa-
tions (4)–(6) allow us to give a clear explanation of many seemingly
paradoxical phenomena, while a number of generally accepted ap-
proaches require additional research and checks as shown by modern
experiments [88–90].
From the point of view of statistical physics, the gas-hydrody-
namic model of a continuous medium is the averaging of microscopic
motion of elementary carriers over their momenta [38]. Therefore, in
the model with the equation (8) of classical continuous media mechan-
ics difficulties arise in describing the details of the elementary particles
structure and microscopic electromagnetic phenomena in the ether.
33
Note that the ether equations become equivalent to the equations
of fluid and gas mechanics, for example, when the density 𝜌𝜌, is con-
stant in time and space, and also in the case 𝐮𝐮 ⊥ 𝛁𝛁𝜌𝜌 with the density
𝜌𝜌 = 𝜌𝜌�𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)� not depended explicitly on time (in this case 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 =
𝐮𝐮 ∙ 𝛁𝛁𝜌𝜌 = 0 and the term 𝐮𝐮𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 falls out of the equation (5)).

That is, the form of the continuity and motion equations of the
ether (4), (5) does not change at the Galilean transformation, but the
velocity of the radius vector 𝐫𝐫 ′ (𝑡𝑡′) of a point in the primed coordinate
system is the difference of the velocity in the original coordinate sys-
tem (6) and the velocity 𝐯𝐯, with which the primed system is moving.
Thus, the formulas (4), (5) are invariant, and the formula (6) is not
invariant with respect to the Galilean transformation.
The physical interpretation of the invariance property of the con-
servation laws (4), (5) consists in the fact that in the moving coordi-
nate system in these laws no new sources and forces arise that explic-
itly depend on the coordinates velocity 𝐯𝐯 (herewith the projections of
the Lagrangian particle trajectory on the axes of moving coordinate
system differ). Such an interpretation of the Galilean invariance al-
lows in a certain region, moving with a constant velocity 𝐯𝐯 and iso-
lated from the influence of the incoming medium, to construct the lo-
cal model with fixed relatively to this region coordinate system and
describe the processes without using 𝐯𝐯. The task of constructing of a
local mathematical model based on the invariance property of equa-
tions is discussed in detail in sec. 2.5.1.
It is clear from the proof that the form of the equations of conti-
nuity and motion (4), (5) does not change when the primed coordinate
system moves with the acceleration 𝑑𝑑𝐯𝐯(𝑡𝑡)/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑, i.e. when replacing
37
because
Thus, the equations of continuity and motion of the ether (4), (5)
remain unchanged also in the considered non-inertial frame of reference.
The proven statement is of the fundamental methodological sig-
nificance. At least two important conclusions follow from it:
1. The objects of the ether can be studied using equations (4), (5)
in any coordinate system, the radius vector of the beginning of which
moves according to the law 𝐯𝐯(𝑡𝑡)𝑡𝑡. This allows, for example, to sim-
plify tasks by considering the object and the ether around it without
taking into account their motion relative to other bodies.
2. In the reference [45], and also in a more general case, further
in sec. 2.1, it is shown that the generalized and classical Maxwell equa-
tions are a mathematical consequence of the Galileo-invariant equa-
tions of the continuity and motion of the ether, but due to the use of
the Galileo-non-invariant transformation, they lose the Galileo invari-
ance, see sec. 2.5.3, 2.5.4. It is known that the classical Maxwell equa-
tions are invariant under the Lorentz transformation [14, p. 306; 87;
92]. However, the magnetic (20) and electric (21) fields are expressed
in terms of the density and velocity of the ether and, as shown in 2.5.3,
are Galilean invariant. This circumstance removes the need to involve
the Lorentz transformations and the relativistic theory based on them
to explain electromagnetic and other phenomena of the nature.
Note that in the case of a more general coordinate transformation
′ (𝑡𝑡)
𝐫𝐫 = 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡) − 𝐯𝐯�𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)�𝑡𝑡 the condition 𝐢𝐢𝜉𝜉′ = 𝐢𝐢𝜉𝜉 , generally speaking,
is violated, the formula for the spatial derivative over 𝜉𝜉 ′ becomes
more complicated and additional terms appear in the equations in the
primed coordinate system.

which can be interpreted as the volume density of the kinetic energy
of the ether, which has the velocity 𝐮𝐮.
The main difference from the usual method of introducing the
density of kinetic energy in general physics, as the density of the work
force for the displacement of elementary volume between points (see,
for example: [26, p. 131–133]), is in using here the transition limit
under the condition of constant 𝒜𝒜 = ∆𝐅𝐅∆𝐥𝐥, that is, under the action of
the force density ∆𝐅𝐅, having the form of the 𝛿𝛿-function. Such a limit
transition means that the energy content of the Lagrangian particle is
determined by a given fixed transmitted energy density 𝒜𝒜. In addi-
tion, the proposed approach immediately takes into account the pos-
sibility of changing the ether density 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 (𝑡𝑡) due to transfer of energy
density 𝒜𝒜 to the Lagrangian particle.
Note also that consideration of the impulsive (instantaneous) gen-
eration of motion from a state of rest is a generally accepted technique
in the continuous mechanics (see, for example: [17, sec. 3.3, 3.7, 4.1;
16, p. 636]).
In the case of 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 = 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 and 𝑢𝑢 = 𝑐𝑐, where 𝑐𝑐 is the speed of free
propagation of a wave in the ether from a disturbance (see p. 95 in
sec. 4, devoted to the waves in the ether, as well as sec. 2.1, where 𝑐𝑐
is introduced as the etherodynamic constant and it is shown that it is
equal to the speed of light), the result is
𝒜𝒜 = 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 𝑐𝑐 2 ,

In the Lagrangian variables we have

The equation (15) means that the sum of the energy densities
stored in the ether tension and its motion, and the energy of external
sources remains constant.
The values of the characteristic parameters 𝜌𝜌∗ , 𝑢𝑢∗ can be esti-
mated from the experimental data, see sec. 2.1, 20, and 𝑢𝑢∗ – also the-
oretically on the basis of an analogy with the molecular kinetic theory,
see sec. 21.1–21.3.
In the case of 𝜌𝜌∗ = 𝜌𝜌0 , |𝐮𝐮∗ | = 𝑐𝑐, 𝛱𝛱 = 0, the equation of state (15)
means that at the speed |𝐮𝐮| = 𝑐𝑐 and 𝜌𝜌 = 𝜌𝜌∗ the pressure 𝑝𝑝 (the internal
tension) is absent in the ether, and at low speed |𝐮𝐮| ≪ 𝑐𝑐 (at rest) the
pressure reaches the maximum value 𝑝𝑝 = 𝑝𝑝𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 ≡ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 𝑐𝑐 2, and the ra-
tio of the pressure to the ether density becomes equal to the square of
the disturbances free propagation speed in the ether 𝑝𝑝/𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 = 𝑐𝑐 2 . In
other words, when 𝜌𝜌∗ = 𝜌𝜌0 , |𝐮𝐮∗ | = 𝑐𝑐, 𝛱𝛱 = 0, the decrease in the
speed |𝐮𝐮| in comparison with |𝐮𝐮∗ | = 𝑐𝑐, leads to increase of the ether
pressure 𝑝𝑝.
We emphasize, as will be clear further (sec. 15.1, 15.2, 16.2, 17.1,
17.2), it is the equation of state (15) without the factor 1/2 in 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮2 that
leads to the Coulomb law and the law of world gravity. In addition,
the formula (15) without 1/2 allows to directly find the speed of prop-
agation of small perturbations in the ether (19), as well as reproduce
the coefficient of ether thermal conductivity (251), coinciding with
the result of the molecular kinetic theory application to the ether.
The calculation of some of the forces, acting in the ether, and
other functions will be based on the use of the pressure gradient 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 𝑝𝑝.
The equation of state allows to determine 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 𝑝𝑝 while the specific val-
ues of the constants 𝜌𝜌∗ and 𝑢𝑢∗ fall out of the left side of the gradient
from the expression (15).
For example, for the power density of the ether flow we have
from (14) and (15)
𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫)
𝑤𝑤(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫) = − − 𝐮𝐮(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫) ∙ 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 𝑝𝑝(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫) − (16)

value of 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ . Differentiating (15) over 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ and taking into account
𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 ≈ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ , we obtain at Π = 0
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
= 𝐮𝐮2∗ − 𝐮𝐮2 . (18)
𝑑𝑑𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗
If the deviations from the characteristic speed are small 𝐮𝐮2 ≪ 𝐮𝐮2∗ ,
then the formula (18) goes into
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
≈ 𝐮𝐮2∗ . (19)
𝑑𝑑𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗
The relation (19) coincides with the formula for the propagation
speed of small perturbations used in continuous media mechanics,
see, for example, formulas (57), (65) in [9, p. 101–103]. However,
here the relation (19) is introduced is a consequence of the equation
of the ether state, but not as a notation of the square of some speed
with the postulation of the non-negativity of the left hand side [9, for-
mula (57); 14, formula (6.21)] and clarifying the meaning of this
speed by solution of the simplest equation of oscillations, as in me-
chanics [9, p. 102; 15, p. 17].
The value of the characteristic velocity 𝐮𝐮∗ of free motion in the
ether is limited. It was established experimentally that the speed of
free propagation of disturbances in the ether does not exceed the speed
of light 𝑐𝑐.
At the beginning of sec.1.3, we noted that the Galilean transfor-
mation always implies the existence of an initial coordinate system in
which the sought functions 𝜌𝜌 and 𝐮𝐮 are defined. Therefore, the rela-
tion (15) is determined in the initial coordinate system, including the
energy density 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮2 . Replacing variables in a vector, understood
as a directed segment, and introducing a new coordinate system can
lead to a change in the vector projections on the coordinate axes, but
45
not to a change in the length and direction of the vector, see, for ex-
ample, the relationship between 𝐮𝐮′ and 𝐮𝐮 on page 35: 𝐮𝐮′ �𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫 ′ (𝑡𝑡)� ≡
𝐮𝐮(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫 ′ (𝑡𝑡) + 𝐯𝐯𝑡𝑡) = 𝐮𝐮�𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)� (in more detail the use of invariant ob-
jects in the mathematical modeling and invariant operations with
them are discussed in sec. 2.5). Thus, from the point of view of the
mathematical procedure for changing variables, the formula (15) is
the invariant with respect to the Galilean transformation. This under-
standing of the invariance is based on the a priori assignment (defini-
tion) of quantities in the original coordinate system and their invari-
ance with respect to the change of variables.
The physical interpretation of this understanding of the invari-
ance can be illustrated by the example. An observer who is in a mov-
ing coordinate system, that moves along with the medium, cannot
sense medium motion and may not notice the presence of the medium.
But, if the observer stops and is exposed by the medium impact, he
will have to conclude that the medium has some kind of a kinetic fea-
ture that needs to be reflected in its mathematical model, even if this
feature does not manifest itself in some coordinate system.

Derived theoretically generalized Maxwell – Lorentz equations
are valid both at the macro and micro levels. This confirms the hy-
pothesis used by Lorentz to describe micro-level electromagnetic pro-
cesses (see, for example, [37, p. 338]).
In some approaches, Maxwell's equations are derived using the
oscillation equation (see, for example: [60, p. 98], and also [61, 109,
110]). Here the derivation is based on the original system of the ether
equations, which describes not only oscillatory processes. Therefore,
the result presented here is more general.

of speed. By analogy with the general physics, the speed 𝑐𝑐 defined so
is called the etherodynamic constant. Comparison of the Maxwell
equations theoretically obtained here with those obtained experimen-
tally using the CGS set of units, allows to conclude that the constant 𝑐𝑐
should be chosen equal to the speed of light 𝑐𝑐 (the speed of free prop-
agation of the disturbance in the ether).
Recall that in the classical physics, the speed 𝑐𝑐 is also introduced
along with the concept of a magnetic field and is called the electrody-
namic constant. Its value is measured experimentally and turns out to be
equal to the speed of light in the vacuum (see, for example: [28, p. 213]).
We note once again that there are no restrictions on the magni-
tude of the velocity 𝐮𝐮 in the ether equations (4)–(6). Including the
possibility of the speed of light exceeding.
Definitions (20), (21) mean that 𝐁𝐁 describes the vortex compo-
nent of the ether flow density 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮, and E, being a convective deriva-
tive, describes the acceleration of 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮 due to the motion of the medium
with the velocity 𝐮𝐮 (see, for example: [9, p. 54; 14, p. 40]). These
definitions are appropriate to the ideas of Maxwell, who considered
the magnetism as a vortex motion, and the current as a translational
motion (see, for example: [39, p. 212]).
Note that in [41] a definition of 𝐄𝐄 using the time derivative was
proposed: 𝐄𝐄 ≡ −𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕𝐮𝐮/𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕. This definition at 𝛁𝛁𝑃𝑃 = 0 and 𝐅𝐅 = 0 is
equivalent to (21) by virtue of the motion equation. In this book, for
the case of 𝛁𝛁𝑃𝑃 ≠ 0 or 𝐅𝐅 ≠ 0, the definition (21) is used, which means
matching the force, caused by a change in the flow density 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮 due to
the medium motion with velocity 𝐮𝐮, to the electric field; and allows
obtaining Maxwell’s equations as a consequence of Newton's second
law (5). If, at 𝛁𝛁𝑃𝑃 ≠ 0 or 𝐅𝐅 ≠ 0 we introduce the definition of 𝐄𝐄 as
𝐄𝐄 ≡ −𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕𝐮𝐮/𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕 or 𝐄𝐄 ≡ −𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕𝐮𝐮/𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕 − (𝛁𝛁(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮)2 )/(2𝜌𝜌), then Maxwell’s
equations do not appear as a consequence of Newton's second law,
which, for example, in the case of 𝐄𝐄 ≡ −𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕𝐮𝐮/𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕 − (𝛁𝛁(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮)2 )/(2𝜌𝜌)
turns into 𝐄𝐄 + 𝐮𝐮 × 𝐁𝐁/𝑐𝑐 + (𝐅𝐅 + 𝛁𝛁𝑃𝑃)/𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 = 0. We emphasize that
48
the introduction of various notation can change the form of the origi-
nal ether equations representation and their interpretation, but the
mathematical essence of the original problem in terms of the sough
functions 𝜌𝜌 and 𝐮𝐮 is preserved.
In the geometric interpretation, the representation of the
ether flow density 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮 in the form (20), (21) is some special represen-
tation of it in the form of two vectors 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁. These vectors will be
perpendicular, that is 𝐄𝐄 ∙ 𝐁𝐁 = 0, if (𝛁𝛁 × 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮) ∙ 𝛁𝛁(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮)2 = 0. In the
general case, 𝐄𝐄 ∙ 𝐁𝐁 ≠ 0, which is satisfied, for example, for the vector
𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮 = 𝑎𝑎𝑥𝑥 (𝑥𝑥)𝐢𝐢𝑥𝑥 + 𝑎𝑎𝑦𝑦 (𝑧𝑧)𝐢𝐢𝑦𝑦 + 0𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 , where 𝐢𝐢𝑥𝑥 , 𝐢𝐢𝑦𝑦 , 𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 are unit basis vectors
of the Cartesian coordinates.
We show that the vectors 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁, introduced by the definitions
(20), (21), satisfy equations that can be interpreted as the generalized
Maxwell equations.
In [46, 48], particular generalizations of the Maxwell's equations
were proposed. By analogy with [45], here we obtain from the equa-
tions of the ether the most general macro-level Maxwell’s equations.
For this purpose, it is convenient to write the system (4)–(6) in the
Euler variables

force term in the left hand side of the equation (23), equal to the de-
rivative of the ether flow density along the trajectory (curve, direc-
tion) or part of the full time derivative, containing the differentiation
by spatial coordinates [51, p. 5.5-3, 16.10-8].
It should be noted that the relationship between 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁, which
appears in the definition of 𝐄𝐄 (21), is also a consequence of the motion
equation (23). Indeed, from the formulas (21) and (23) we have
𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕𝐮𝐮 𝐅𝐅 + 𝛁𝛁𝑃𝑃
= −𝐄𝐄 + . (24)
𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0
Substituting (24) into (23) and using expressions (21), (20), we obtain
𝐮𝐮
𝐄𝐄 + × 𝐁𝐁 = |𝐮𝐮|𝛁𝛁(𝜌𝜌|𝐮𝐮|). (25)

50
We emphasize that the equality (24) gives another etheric repre-
sentation for the electric field vector 𝐄𝐄 = −𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕𝐮𝐮/𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕 + (𝐅𝐅 + 𝛁𝛁𝑃𝑃)/
𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0, obtained using the equation of motion. In the case of the poten-
tial force 𝐅𝐅 = −𝛁𝛁𝑈𝑈𝐅𝐅, the electric field 𝐄𝐄 is represented as the sum of
the gradient of the scalar potential and the partial time derivative of
the vector potential: 𝐄𝐄 = −(𝛁𝛁𝑈𝑈𝐅𝐅 − 𝛁𝛁𝑃𝑃)/𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 + 𝜕𝜕(𝐀𝐀/𝑐𝑐)/𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕), 𝐀𝐀 ≡
𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝐮𝐮. This expression theoretically substantiates the potentials intro-
duced in physics for the electric field.
The equation (23) turns on the solution into an identity that can
be subjected to various transformations.
Apply the operator 𝑐𝑐𝛁𝛁 × to (23). Taking into account 𝛁𝛁 × 𝛁𝛁𝑃𝑃 =
0, we get
𝜕𝜕𝐁𝐁 𝑐𝑐
+ 𝑐𝑐𝛁𝛁 × 𝐄𝐄 = 𝛁𝛁 × 𝐅𝐅. (26)
𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0
By analogy with the classical physics we call this equation the gener-
alized Faraday equation.
Taking the divergence from (20), (21), we find
𝛁𝛁 ∙ 𝐁𝐁 = 0, (27)
𝛁𝛁 ∙ 𝐄𝐄 = 4𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋, (28)

where 𝜎𝜎 has the meaning of the charge density determined by the flow
of the ether. In physics, the formula (28) is called the Gauss electro-
static theorem in the differential form [28, sec. 7]. Here, this formula
is obtained as the consequence of the definitions of the electric field
𝐄𝐄 and charge density 𝜎𝜎 in the ether.

Apply the derivative operator along the curve (𝐮𝐮 ∙ 𝛁𝛁) to the equa-

where 𝐣𝐣 has the meaning of the electric current density. We call the
formula (29) the generalized Ampere equation.
At derivation of the equation (29), we used the known rules of
action with the operator 𝛁𝛁 (see, for example, table 5.5-1 in [51])

which can be given the form of the charge conservation law (see the

Differentiating (24) over time and substituting 𝜕𝜕𝐄𝐄/𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕 into (29),
we find another etheric representation for the density of the electric

It was noted above that the application of the operators 𝑐𝑐𝛁𝛁 × and
(𝐮𝐮 ∙ 𝛁𝛁) can be interpreted as some special decomposition of the vector
in the left hand side of the equation (23) into two vectors, leading to
the formulas (26) and (29). If as a result of this decomposition, line-
arly independent vectors are obtained, then each of the equations (26)
and (29) gives essential information about the behavior of 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁.
In the case of |𝐮𝐮| ≈ 𝑐𝑐, 𝛁𝛁 × 𝐅𝐅 = 0 and the experimentally deter-
mined 𝜎𝜎and 𝐣𝐣 the equations (26)–(29) transforms to the classical sys-
tem of Maxwell’s equations
53
According to [56], the introduction of the 𝐇𝐇 and 𝐃𝐃 vectors is an
artificial technique and is not necessary. All the media effects are in-
cluded in 𝜎𝜎 and 𝐣𝐣 (see equations (2.1.1) and the discussion on p. 24–
26 in [56], as well as sec. 1.1 in [57] or [58]).
The equation (25) multiplied by the charge density transforms to
the Lorentz force density 𝐅𝐅𝐿𝐿

54
In physics, the question of the presence or absence of the term
𝜕𝜕𝐄𝐄/𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕 in Maxwell's equations is still debated. In the ether interpreta-
tion of the electromagnetic field, this question has a simple answer.
The derivation of the equation (29), as in Maxwell’s theory, is
somewhat artificial. When the formula (29) was obtained, the vectors
𝜕𝜕𝐄𝐄/𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕 and 𝛁𝛁 × (|𝐮𝐮|2 𝐁𝐁/𝑐𝑐) were isolated explicitly. Such formal oper-
ations are fair, but can make it difficult to physically interpret certain
phenomena. Each of the vectors 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐣𝐣 is expressed in terms of 𝜌𝜌 and
𝐮𝐮. Therefore, 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐣𝐣 are not independent values. The derivative 𝜕𝜕𝐄𝐄/𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕
in (29) can be represented through 𝜌𝜌, 𝐮𝐮, for example, using the formula
(21) 𝜕𝜕𝐄𝐄/𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕 = 𝜕𝜕((𝐮𝐮 ∙ 𝛁𝛁)(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮))/𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕 and can be included in the current
density 𝐣𝐣, which even without this has a complex structure and can be
different from zero, not only because of the motion of charged parti-
cles. As a result, the (29) can be written in another equivalent form
|𝐮𝐮|2 1 𝜕𝜕𝐄𝐄
𝛁𝛁 × � 𝐁𝐁� = 4𝜋𝜋𝐣𝐣total , 𝐣𝐣total ≡ 𝐣𝐣 + . (34)
𝑐𝑐 4𝜋𝜋 𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕
The full current density 𝐣𝐣total consists of the sum of the electric
current density, associated with the charge density by the equation
(31), and the current density caused by the time-varying electric field.
The formula (34) with |𝐮𝐮| ≈ 𝑐𝑐 is usually applied in practice in
electrical engineering, when details of the current occurrence nature
are not of great importance.
In addition, the question about 𝜕𝜕𝐄𝐄/𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕 does not arise in principle
if instead of the equation (29) we use the Lorentz force field (25),
which has a clearer physical meaning. In this case, 𝜕𝜕𝐄𝐄/𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕 is not in-
cluded in the system of equations for 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁 (see also sec. 2.2).
The expressions for 𝜎𝜎 and 𝐣𝐣 in terms of the ether velocity and
density allow to calculate 𝜎𝜎 and 𝐣𝐣 theoretically. With a help of spe-
cially excited ether motion, one can obtain the density 𝜌𝜌 and the ve-
locity 𝐮𝐮 in the vacuum, corresponding to the electric current and
55
charge density. Moreover, the presence of the charge and current car-
riers, such as elementary particles, is not necessary.
Additional conditions and terms in the functions 𝜎𝜎, 𝐣𝐣, 𝐅𝐅, 𝛁𝛁𝑃𝑃 can
be added to the system of the generalized Maxwell’s equations de-
scribing the interaction of the ether flows with discontinuities or the
macroscopic objects.
Let’s give the simplest example of the generalized Maxwell’s
equations solution. At 𝑞𝑞 = 0, 𝐅𝐅 = 0, 𝛁𝛁𝑃𝑃 = 0, the ether equations
(22), (23) are satisfied by the density 𝜌𝜌 = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 and the velocity 𝐮𝐮 =
𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎 cos (𝜈𝜈𝜈𝜈 − 𝜈𝜈𝜈𝜈/𝑐𝑐)𝐢𝐢𝑥𝑥 + 𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎 sin (𝜈𝜈𝜈𝜈 − 𝜈𝜈𝜈𝜈/𝑐𝑐)𝐢𝐢𝑦𝑦 + 𝑐𝑐𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 , where 𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎 – is the
amplitude of the transverse velocity. According to formulas (20),
(21), a plane monochromatic circularly polarized electromagnetic
wave corresponds to this ether velocity and density. It is known that
such a wave also satisfies the classical Maxwell’s equations (33). The
wave processes in the ether are considered in more detail in sec. 4
An advantage of the ether representation of electromagnetic
waves is the explicit presence of velocity component in the direction
of the wave propagation in addition to the transverse oscillatory com-
ponent, see also formulas (80), (220). Therefore, the etheric represen-
tation of the electromagnetic wave allows to explain a wave-particle
duality observed in experiments as the flow of ether with a nonzero
component along the direction of motion. There are no components
in the vectors 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁 in the direction of the wave propagation. This
causes difficulties in interpreting experimental data on wave motion.
In the general case, 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁 carry an incomplete information about
the ether flow density 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮.
In the previous section, there are three forms of the ether equa-
tions expression containing 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁: (20)–(23), (25); (22), (23), (25)–
(28); (22), (23), (26)–(29). It is shown that each of these forms can be
interpreted as a generalization of the Maxwell – Lorentz equations.
56
The question arises about the most convenient method of 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁 cal-
culating.
Equations (26)–(29) are obtained using differentiation. As a re-
sult, these equations can have a wider class of 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁 solutions than
the original system (20)–(23). Besides, when considering a problem
in the form of (20)–(23), it is required to solve only two equations
(22), (23) with respect to the scalar function 𝜌𝜌 and the vector function
𝐮𝐮, with which vector functions 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁 are then calculated using for-
mulas (20), (21). Therefore, the system (20)–(23) is more preferable
for calculating of the electric and magnetic fields.
Thus, regardless of the physical interpretation of the ether equa-
tions (1)–(6) and the generalized Maxwell – Lorentz equations, the
system (1)–(3) or the macrolevel system (4)–(6) provides an effective
mathematical tool for finding the electromagnetic field. In paper [50]
a convenient form of equations (1)–(3) for the application of numeri-
cal methods was proposed, numerical algorithm for solution of the
ether dynamics problems was presented and its application to calcu-
late the formation of hydrogen meson atoms from a proton and muon
was illustrated.
Vectors 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁 can be measured, therefore the inverse problem
of 𝜌𝜌 and 𝐮𝐮 finding according to given 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁 is of interest. One can
solve this problem, for example, by determining the vector 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮 from
the equation (20) and substituting it into the system of the equations
(22), (23), (15) to calculate 𝜌𝜌 and 𝐮𝐮 separately.
𝐁𝐁 = 𝛁𝛁 × 𝐀𝐀.
57
The components of the vector 𝐀𝐀 when using mechanical units of
𝜌𝜌 measuring have the dimension of the energy density. A direction of
𝐀𝐀 indicates the direction of the energy density motion. In [50], for the
solution of the system (1)–(3), it was proved the conservation of
�𝐀𝐀�𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)�� on the trajectory of the ether point 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡), which is the an-
alogue of the energy conservation law.
Vector (|𝐮𝐮|/𝑐𝑐)𝛁𝛁|𝐀𝐀| in the electromagnetic units, according to
(25), has the dimension of the electric field strength and describes the
force effect of the ether. The value of −|𝐀𝐀| for |𝐮𝐮| = 𝑐𝑐 represents the
electric potential in the absence of the magnetic field.
Using formula (21), the vector 𝐄𝐄 is expressed in terms of the vec-
tor potential and the ether density

𝐄𝐄 = 2

2]). The obtained contradiction proves the statement about the non-
potentiality of 𝐁𝐁 in the unbounded space.
In the limited area, where there are no electric currents, the mag-
netic field is the potential one, and where there are – not potential,
see, for example: [28, p. 228, 233].

Let us discuss the role of the invariant with respect to the system
of coordinate concepts and quantitative relationships in the method-
ology of mathematical modeling and the methodology of physics.
When constructing adequate mathematical models of processes,
it is important to proceed from the fact that nature knows nothing
about man-made coordinate systems and methods for measuring time.
The concepts of coordinates and time are introduced to formalize the
description of the observed phenomena within the framework of
*
This section requires in-depth knowledge of the fundamental mathematical con-
cepts, differential calculus, vector analysis and systems of coordinates [51, ch. 3–6,
16]. At the first acquaintance with the book this section can be skipped.
63
available mathematical tools. These concepts are one of the baseline
when constructing a mathematical model.
Philosophical issues related to coordinate systems, space, and
time are beyond the scope of this book. Their discussion can be found
in works [102, 80, 103, 104].
From the point of view of practical application, the quantitative
relations written with the help of the mathematical apparatus should
reflect and reveal as much as possible the mechanisms of the pro-
cesses occurring in nature, and not express the abstract formalism of
some quantitative postulates. Mathematical models successfully used
in practice follow precisely this goal.
Of greatest interest in many practical tasks is the study of the
characteristics of the object relative to its previous position in space,
and not relative to some artificially selected coordinate system. For
the abstract description of such independent of the coordinate system
properties, the mathematical concept of "vector" is used.
Initially, the mathematical concept of a vector as a directed seg-
ment is not associated with any coordinate system and is invariant in
this sense [113, sec. 28]. Such vectors, as velocities and forces, are
usually defined for the first time in a geometric language as "quanti-
ties with length and direction", or, in other words, as quantities that
can be represented as directional segments, summed by the "the par-
allelogram rule" [51, sec. 5.1]. The coordinate system is introduced
for a more detailed description of the quantitative relations in which
the vectors participate. At the same time, the vector itself, as a math-
ematical concept, is invariant with respect to the coordinate system,
but its projections onto the coordinate axes may be different in differ-
ent coordinate systems.
The choice of the initial coordinate system is usually connected
with the experimental data. At the same time, if some property, for
example, the presence of the medium motion (velocity), is observed
in the original coordinate system, then a full mathematical model of
the medium that describes this experience should reflect the presence
64
of the velocity during the transition to other coordinate systems. In
other words, in the new coordinate system, the model should describe
the same process that occurs in the original coordinate system. The
concept of a vector as a directed segment allows one to construct such
models.
Substitution of variables in the system of equations using one-to-
one (bijective) sufficiently smooth functions leads to a mathemati-
cally equivalent system of equations. Therefore, the transition to such
new variables does not add any new laws (quantitative relationships)
to the relations and does not change the physical content of the pro-
cesses described by the initial system. Variable substitution is usually
used to simplify the writing of equations.
Geometrically changing of variables means moving to a new co-
ordinate system, possibly curved and movable relative to the original
coordinates.
Of particular interest is the change of variables that does not
change the form of the equation as a mathematical formula. The prop-
erty of the equation to preserve the form with some change of variables
is called the invariance of the equation relative to this change, and the
change itself is called an invariant transformation of the equation.
The physical interpretation of the equation invariance property
with respect to some transformation is that in the new coordinate sys-
tem, built according to the law of this transformation, there are no
sources, sinks and forces (additional terms) in the equation that ex-
plicitly depend on the parameters of the new system coordinates law
of motion relatively to the original system. Such an interpretation of
invariance allows one to construct a simplified local model in a mov-
ing region, to extrapolate a model confirmed by experience to condi-
tions that are not yet achievable in practice, or to take into account
some factors external to the system under study.
Consider a typical example of building a local model based on a
given initial model. Let an equation be specified in the original coor-
65
dinate system and contain some functions, including the velocity vec-
tor. Suppose that the equation is invariant with respect to some change
of variables. For the sake of brevity we call this change the "invariant
rule". Let all points of the domain 𝛺𝛺 move according to the invariant
rule, and the processes described in the original coordinate system
given by the equation begin to develop in 𝛺𝛺. Assume that 𝛺𝛺 is isolated
from the influence of an oncoming medium. We construct in the do-
main 𝛺𝛺 on the basis of the given equation a local model of processes
that does not take into account the motion of 𝛺𝛺 according to the in-
variant rule.
At each point 𝛺𝛺 we introduce a local coordinate system (gener-
ally speaking, curvilinear) moving according to the invariant rule. We
define the local velocity vector in the region 𝛺𝛺 only as the velocity of
the local coordinates change without regarding their relation to the
initial coordinates. Similarly, we define other functions included in
the original equation as functions of only local coordinates. In the
general case, the local velocity vector is not equal to the velocity vec-
tor in the original coordinates, since it does not take into account the
motion of the new coordinate system relative to the initial one. There-
fore, the introduced local functions, generally speaking, cannot satisfy
the given equation, since it is defined for the original functions. We
now draw on intuitive considerations. Since the form of the equation
in the introduced coordinate system does not change (due to its invar-
iance), we assume that it remains valid also for the local functions
introduced.
The local model constructed in this way is generally speaking not
mathematically equivalent to the original model, since inequitable
reasoning is used in its derivation, including that new functions, not
obtained by the invariant transformation from the original functions,
are substituted in the equations of the original model. Therefore, the
adequacy of this local mathematical model must be checked anew. To
do this in the methodology of mathematical modeling, it is necessary
66
to study the correspondence of the consequences of the local model
to all well established experimental facts.
In the general case, the construction of the local mathematical
model based on the invariance property of the equations of the origi-
nal model can contain non-equivalent reasoning and non-invariant
transformations leading to a violation of the invariance of the result-
ing equations. Besides, not all equations of the initial model can be
invariant, see, for example, equations (6), (11). Therefore, the formu-
lation of mathematical models only in quantitative relations invariant
with respect to the coordinate system is not obligatory, although it is
preferable. More important is the correspondence of the consequences
of the model to the phenomena observed in those areas of space where
the model should be used in practice.
The invariance of equations can take place in relatively different
transformations. First of all, the invariance with respect to the sim-
plest transformations confirmed by common practice is important.
Such a transformation is introduced by the principle of Galilean –
Newton relativity. This principle considers the simplest change of
variables, called the Galilean transformation, and states that all phys-
ical equations and laws must be invariant with respect to this trans-
formation (see, for example: [14, p. 309; 26, sec. 15]).
The general mathematical model of nature proposed in the book
confirms this principle, since all the basic laws of electrodynamics
and gravity in it follow from the invariant with respect to the Galilean
transformation equations of the continuity and motion of the continu-
ous medium (ether).
On the basis of the hypothesis that all nature’s phenomena pri-
mary cause is motion of the ether or the propagation of disturbances
in it, we can assume that the Galilean non-invariance of certain laws
(quantitative relations) is associated with non-equivalent or non-in-
variant transformations of the ether continuity and motion equations
during the transition to description of certain effects. Sections 2.5.3,
2.5.4 show that this is the case for Maxwell’s equations.
67
As applied to the ether model studied in this book, the above de-
scribed approach to constructing the local model corresponds to replac-
ing in the system (9)–(11) of the non-Galileo-invariant equation (11)
by the equation 𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫 ′ (𝑡𝑡′)/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑′ = 𝐮𝐮′�𝑡𝑡′, 𝐫𝐫′(𝑡𝑡′)�)) and preserving the re-
maining two equations of the system in the unchanged invariant form.
The rejection of 𝐯𝐯 in the equation (11), generally speaking, is not
the equivalent transformation and leads to the equation that is not
equivalent to the original one. As a result, the obtained local model
(without 𝐯𝐯 in (11)) is not mathematically equivalent to the initial one
and its adequacy should be checked anew. Such a check is relatively
simple in this case. The equations (9), (10), 𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫 ′ (𝑡𝑡′)/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑′ =
𝐮𝐮′�𝑡𝑡′, 𝐫𝐫′(𝑡𝑡′)� of the local model coincide with the equations (4)–(6) of
the original model with an accuracy of notation. Therefore, all the
mathematical consequences obtained in the book for the initial model
are valid for the equations of the local model. These consequences
correspond to all reliable results of experiments in isolated volumes
moving by the Galileo law. Thus, according to the methodology of
mathematical modeling, we can conclude that the model (4)–(6) is
applicable locally in any isolated from an external influence volume,
moving according to the Galilean transformation rule.
The study of the equations invariance is usually carried out in the
whole unbounded space. However, in the experiments and in the
mathematical model, boundary conditions play an important role, but
do not always have the property of the invariance. Therefore, the cor-
rectness of constructing the local model in the isolated area, extrapo-
lation of the results of the experiments and their mathematical model
to the entire universe, the involvement of external factors in the model
can cause questions and requires special study in each individual case.
See the discussion in Appendices 2 and 3.
In the methodology of physics, which consists in the generaliza-
tion of experimental facts, the question of the invariance substantiat-
ing of physical laws with respect to a particular transformation is more
complex. In accordance with this methodology, laws in significantly
68
changed conditions should be checked anew in the experiments, es-
pecially when these laws are planned to be used in technical systems
with a high reliability requirement, and researchers take responsible
for their decisions. Rechecking of various physical laws took place,
for example, when mastering supersonic velocities and direct study-
ing of the near-Earth space.
From the end of the XIX century to the present, the issue of Max-
well's equations invariance with respect to the Galilean transfor-
mation is intensively discussed in scientific literature. Classical pub-
lications of Larmor, Lorentz, Poincaré [105–107] and other authors
on this topic are collected, for example, in the book [108].
Starting from the Larmor's work "Ether and Matter" [105], the
Galilean non-invariance of the classical Maxwell’s equations is justi-
fied by the appearance of an additional term arising from the partial
time derivative at the Galilean change of variables, see for example:
[108, p. 53]. To compensate this term and to obtain the invariant form
of the classical Maxwell’s equations, the Lorentz transformation is
used, which was introduced by Poincaré [107]. In this transformation,
not only the spatial variables are replaced, but also time [108, p. 70,
91; 29, sec. 105; 14, p. 309–318; 114, ch. 6].
The Lorentz transformation is used in the construction of the rel-
ativity theory. However, it turned out that the adoption of the Lorentz
invariance as a postulate of the general mathematical model of nature
in the special and general relativity theory (see, for example: [14, p.
312]) leads to paradoxical consequences. For example, when reaching
the speed of light, an object loses its geometrical dimensions, includ-
ing a photon, moving with the speed of light, should not has a size;
the mass, magnitudes of the electric and magnetic fields turn to infin-
ity; time stops (paradox of watches), see [29, sec. 106, 111; 14, p.
317–319]. Therefore, the Lorentz transformation is not studied in the
general model of nature proposed in this book.
In [14, p. 306] it was shown that, in addition to the Lorentz trans-
formations, there are more general classes of transformations, for
69
which the invariance of the classical Maxwell’s equations also holds.
The Lorentz transformation is distinguished from them by the corre-
spondence of its metric to the postulate of the constancy of the speed
of light [14, p. 312]. However, this postulate still cannot be considered
experimentally justified, see appendix 3 on p. 597. The presence of
the set of invariant transformations of Maxwell's classical equations
means the possibility of choosing other than the Lorentz invariance as
an axiom and building on its basis a different general model of nature.
However, from the point of view of mathematical modeling, the
least complex model, the consequences of which correspond to all
well-established experimental facts, is of the greatest value. The ether
model of nature (4)–(6) satisfies this criterion for selecting models.
The question of the invariance of the generalized (22), (23), (26)–
(29) and the classical (33) Maxwell equations with respect to the Gal-
ilean transformation is described in detail below using their mechan-
ical interpretation, presented in sec. 2.1, as the mathematical conse-
quences of the ether equations (4)–(6).

oped methods for obtaining solutions of equations in the form of an-
alytical formulas, although some problems can be more successfully
solved in the Lagrangian approach [24].
Let us pass in equations (46)–(48) from the Lagrange variables
to the Euler variables, in which 𝑡𝑡′ and 𝐫𝐫′ are considered as independ-
ent of each other quantities. Fix 𝑡𝑡′ and consider an arbitrary point 𝐫𝐫′
in the domain, where these equations are defined. Suppose that equa-
tions (46)–(48) are not satisfied at the point 𝐫𝐫′. But, according to the
assumption of the medium continuity, some trajectory 𝐫𝐫′(𝑡𝑡′) must al-
ways pass through the point 𝐫𝐫′ at the moment of time 𝑡𝑡′ and the equa-
tions at the point (𝑡𝑡′, 𝐫𝐫′(𝑡𝑡′)) must be fulfilled. The obtained contradic-
tion proves the validity of equations for independent 𝑡𝑡′ and 𝐫𝐫′. We
arrive at expressing equations (46)–(48) in the Euler variables (𝑡𝑡′, 𝐫𝐫′)

substitution. At that, the equation for the velocity of coordinates
change 𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 𝐮𝐮(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫) is not invariant, since it goes into the equa-
tion (51), which explicitly contains 𝐯𝐯.
Thus, the Lagrangian and Eulerian forms of the ether continuity
and motion equations expressing are equivalent in the moving coor-
dinate system (43).
We emphasize two important properties. In the Galilean transfor-
mation (43), the velocity of the coordinates change 𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 is non-
invariant, and the velocity vector 𝐮𝐮(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫) is invariant. Such properties
are due to the fact that, as noted at the beginning of sec. 1.3, the Gal-
ilean transformation always implies the presence of the initial coordi-
nate system in which the velocity vector of the medium 𝐮𝐮 is defined,
and the change of variables in the vector, understood as a directed
segment, and the introduction of a new coordinate system can result
to a change in the projections of the vector on the coordinate axes, but
not to a change in the length and direction of the vector. Such under-
standing of the vector invariance is important for the construction of
the realistic mathematical model, since the absence of a change in the
point position in a moving coordinate system does not mean, gener-
ally speaking, that the medium does not have the velocity in the orig-
inal coordinate system. The adequate mathematical model must take
into account the prior presence of the velocity vector in the original
coordinate system.
These properties lead to the fact that in the Galilean transfor-
mation (43) the expression
𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫
� ∙ 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 � 𝐚𝐚(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫) (52)
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
76
is invariant. Therefore, when transferring to a moving coordinate sys-
tem, operations (52) and (53) must be distinguished, despite the fact
that in the initial coordinate system these operations are equivalent.
The invariance of the rotor of vector and the expression (53) with
respect to the Galileo transformation (43) allows us to conclude that
the definitions of the magnetic and electric fields (20), (21) are invar-
iant with respect to this transformation
Here and further in sec. 2.5, the presence of a prime in a function will
mean that its arguments are also primed.
Let us make an important explanation for the definition of 𝐄𝐄. In
the postulated ether equation of motion (5) with the full derivative
represented through the partial derivatives, the expression (𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 ∙
𝛁𝛁)(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮) appears. In the initial coordinate system 𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 𝐮𝐮. There-
fore, in the initial coordinates, the definitions of 𝐄𝐄(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫) by the expres-
sions (𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 ∙ 𝛁𝛁)(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮) or (𝐮𝐮 ∙ 𝛁𝛁)(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮) are equivalent. However, the
formula (𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 ∙ 𝛁𝛁)(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮), according to (45), is not invariant with re-
spect to the Galilean transformation: (𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 ∙ 𝛁𝛁)(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮) = (𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫′/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑′ ∙
𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 ′ )(𝜌𝜌′𝐮𝐮′) + (𝐯𝐯 ∙ 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 ′ )(𝜌𝜌′𝐮𝐮′). The definition of 𝐄𝐄 by a non-invariant
formula (𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 ∙ 𝛁𝛁)(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮) would lead to the introduction of a non-in-
variant concept into the mathematical model and, as a result, to a non-
invariant description of the ether in terms of such a concept. There-
fore, the electric field is determined by the invariant expression (55).
77
The physical interpretation of the invariant definition of the elec-
tric field (55) consists in understanding of 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝐄𝐄 as the force density
due to the displacement of the Lagrangian volumes of the continuous
medium in the initial coordinate system. In mathematical abstraction,
such a force is described by a directed segment (vector) that is invar-
iant with respect to the Galilean transformation.
Taking the divergence from (54), (55), we find

The equation (59) will be fulfilled without limitation on 𝐯𝐯 in the
case of special ether flows: (𝐯𝐯 ∙ 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 ′ )(𝜌𝜌′𝐮𝐮′) = 0.
As in sec. 2.1, we apply the operator 𝑐𝑐𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 ′ × and the derivative
operator along the curve (𝐮𝐮′ ∙ 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 ′ ) to the equation (59). We obtain the

and the transition to a moving coordinate system means the descrip-
tion in new variables of the same physical process that occurs in the
original system.

bles. The Galilean transformation in these variables is

Here, the formula (44) is used for the partial derivative over time and
the invariance of the rotor and the divergence operators with respect
to the Galilean substitution, see p. 73. The presence of a prime in the
function means that its arguments are also primed.
In the system (64) the new terms containing 𝐯𝐯, have appeared
from the partial derivative over time, which lead to a difference in the
form of the equations (33) and (64). Therefore, at (𝐯𝐯 ∙ 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 ′ )𝐁𝐁 ′ ≠ 0 and
(𝐯𝐯 ∙ 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 ′ )𝐄𝐄′ ≠ 0, in the dominant view of XX century physics about
the absence of medium, the classical Maxwell’s equations (33) are not
invariant with respect to the Galilean transformation.
The use of the condition |𝐯𝐯| ≪ |𝐮𝐮| ~ 𝑐𝑐 in the system (64) is dif-
ficult, since in the absence of a medium, the relationship between 𝐁𝐁
and 𝐄𝐄 with the ether velocity 𝐮𝐮 is not revealed.
In the ether sense, the magnetic and electric fields are character-
istics of the ether motion (20), (21). In the initial coordinate system,
the density and velocity of the ether 𝜌𝜌 and 𝐮𝐮, are given, which satisfy
to the equations (22), (23), and the vectors 𝐁𝐁 and 𝐄𝐄 are calculated by
the formulas (20), (21).

The form of the equations (33) and (65) is the same. Therefore,
at |𝐯𝐯| ≪ 𝑐𝑐, the classical Maxwell’s equations are invariant with re-
spect to the Galilean transformation.
82
Note that the system (65) can also be obtained directly from the
generalized Maxwell’s equations in the primed system (54)–(57),
(60), (62), assuming, as in derivation of (33), that |𝐮𝐮′| ≈ 𝑐𝑐, 𝛁𝛁𝐫𝐫 ′ × 𝐅𝐅′ =
0, and 𝜎𝜎′ and 𝐣𝐣′ are determined experimentally.
From the point of view of the continuous mechanics methodol-
ogy considered in the book, the Galilean non-invariance of the gener-
alized and classical Maxwell’s equations in the case of an arbitrary
velocity 𝐯𝐯 of coordinates motion (63) is a drawback of describing
electromagnetic processes by such equations, and not the law of na-
ture. The initial equations of the ether continuity and motion (9), (10)
are invariant with respect to the Galilean transformation. The vectors
𝐁𝐁′ and 𝐄𝐄′ (54), (55), calculated using the solution of the system (9)–
(11), do not use restrictions on the velocities values 𝐯𝐯 and 𝐮𝐮. The
equations (9)–(11) allow the motion with the superlight speed.
We emphasize once again that in the methodology of mathemati-
cal modeling, of the most interest is the direct construction of a model,
including quantitative relationships, in such a local coordinate system,
where it is necessary to use the model for solving practical problems.
83
The mathematical model of the ether as a continuous medium al-
lowed to obtain a generalization of the Maxwell – Lorentz equations;
explain the absence of their invariance with respect to the Galilean
transformation; to reveal the single nature of the electric field strength
and the magnetic field induction origin from the speed and density of
the ether; find an interpretation of the Lorentz field force appearance
as a natural motion of the ether; get the ether expressions for the
charge density and the electric current density; give a concise mathe-
matical description of the vectors 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁; explain the wave-particle
duality as a flow of the ether with a non-zero component along the
direction of motion; establish the physical interpretation of the mag-
netic field vector potential as the energy density.
It is shown that the ether equations give an effective mathemati-
cal tool for the practical calculation of the electric and magnetic fields.
Note that one of the most appropriate methods for the numerical so-
lution of the ether equations is the method of integral approximations
(the method of smoothed particles). This method is consistently de-
scribed in the form adopted in computational mathematics and is
strictly justified in sec. 2.1.15 of the book [58]. The application of the
method for solution of the ether dynamics problems is illustrated in
the reference [50].
The studies performed allow us to make a fundamental conclusion
that the ether equations (4)–(6) must be taken into account when con-
structing detailed self-consistent mathematical models of electrodynam-
ics, gas and hydrodynamics, since in the general case the vectors 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁
do not contain all the information about the ether density flow 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮.

is called the Gauss electrostatic theorem in the integral form [28, p.
30, 38]. In the class of continuous functions, the Gauss theorem in the
differential and the integral forms (formulas (28) and (67)) are equiv-
alent [28, p. 40].
Coulomb's law in physics is regarded as a particular case, that is,
a consequence, of the Gauss electrostatic theorem. The validity of the
Gauss theorem in electrodynamics, dealing with time-varying elec-
tromagnetic fields, is taken as a hypothesis, whose validity is verified
by a generalization of the experimental facts. Relevant arguments
about the relation between the Coulomb law and the Gauss electro-
static theorem and the Gauss theorem in electrodynamics are given,
for example, in [28] on p. 40.
In the theory of the ether, the Gauss theorem was obtained as a
consequence of the definitions of the electric field 𝐄𝐄 (21) and the
charge density 𝜎𝜎 (28). Therefore, the ether theory does not require the
adoption of the Gauss theorem as a hypothesis with verification in the
experiments. Coulomb's law, as a consequence of the Gauss electro-
static theorem, also does not require experimental verification in the
ether theory. Instead, the ether equations (4)–(6) and the equation of
its state (15), require experimental verification, and all other laws con-
sidered in the electricity and magnetism, including electrodynamics,
are, as shown in this book, the consequences of the ether equations.
In this sense, the logical construction of the theory of ether is much
more transparent than that commonly used in physics.
The etheric representation of the Gauss theorem is obtained by
substituting the definition of the electric field strength (21) in (67)

𝑞𝑞𝜎𝜎 = � (𝐮𝐮 ∙ 𝛁𝛁)(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮) ∙ 𝑑𝑑𝐬𝐬.

of the ball component 𝐄𝐄 = 𝐸𝐸𝐧𝐧, and 𝐸𝐸 = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐, then outside the ball,
according to (67),
𝑞𝑞𝜎𝜎
𝐸𝐸 = , 𝐄𝐄 = 𝐸𝐸𝐧𝐧, (68)
𝑟𝑟 2
where 𝑞𝑞𝜎𝜎 is the ball charge, 𝐧𝐧 is the unit normal vector. This formula
is identical to the well-known formula (see, for example, relation (6.3)
in [28]).
In the classical physics, the formula (68) is considered as the
Coulomb law for the force acting on a unit charge in the field of
charge 𝑞𝑞𝜎𝜎 . It has already been noted above that the formula (68) is the
consequence of the etheric definitions of the electric field and the
charge density. It remains to be shown that (68) is indeed a force in
the ether. This is done quantitatively in general form in sec. 16.1,
when considering the etheric interpretation of the Lorentz force, and
in sec. 17.1 in the case of two charged objects. The qualitative de-
scription of the ether mechanism for the interaction of charged objects
is given in sec. 18.13.
The electric field, the strength vector of which is a potential one,
can be described by one function 𝜑𝜑
𝐄𝐄 = −𝛁𝛁𝜑𝜑. (69)
The function 𝜑𝜑 is called the electric potential (see, for example: [28,
sec. 18 and 22–25]).
Substituting the expression (69) in (67), we obtain the relation
between the charge and the potential 𝜑𝜑

where 𝐧𝐧 is the unit normal external to the closed surface 𝑆𝑆. The po-

The Helmholtz expansion theorem (formulas (5.7-7), (5.7-8)
from [51])) allows us to find, up to the term 𝐄𝐄0 , such that 𝛁𝛁 2 𝐄𝐄0 = 0,
the potential of the potential vector field for given divergence (see
[51, p. 178, 173]). In our case, for the given charge density 𝛁𝛁 ∙ 𝐄𝐄 =
4𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋, one can find 𝐄𝐄 = −𝛁𝛁𝜑𝜑 + 𝐄𝐄0 , where

In the case of 𝛁𝛁𝑃𝑃 = −𝛁𝛁𝑝𝑝 (see p. 26) in the steady state (partial

Thus, the potential difference in the steady state flow of the ether
is determined by the ether pressure difference or the difference of the
energy densities of its flow.
The formula (74) at the known 𝑘𝑘 𝑚𝑚,0 (229) allows finding the cor-
respondence of the voltage and pressure values. For example, the
pressure of 1 [atm] corresponds to the voltage of ≈ 45.4 [kV].
If the distribution of the electric potential 𝜑𝜑 in space is calculated,
see for example: [34, sec. 24, 26; 28, sec. 19; 36 p. 353–356], then,
according to (74), the corresponding distribution of the ether pressure
𝑝𝑝 differs only by a constant factor. Thus, the problem of finding the
ether pressure of an electrostatic field is reduced to solving the elec-
trostatic problem [62, p. 396–401]. Electrostatic problems are formu-
lated for equations with the Laplace operator. Analytical and numer-
ical methods for solving them are well developed, see, for example:
[62, ch. IV; 115, ch. IV]. The ether density and velocity are deter-
mined by the known pressure using the equations of state (15) and
continuity (22).
We write the formula (70) taking into account the equality (73)
1 1
𝑞𝑞𝜎𝜎 = − � 𝛁𝛁𝑝𝑝 ∙ 𝑑𝑑𝐬𝐬 = � 𝛁𝛁(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮2 ) ∙ 𝑑𝑑𝐬𝐬. (77)

electrostatic field of the charged object, according to (72), is formed
by associated with it ether flow, which has a pressure gradient.
In [189, p. 57–64] experiments in the high vacuum, carried out
independently by different authors, are presented. It is shown that be-
fore the significant electric current occurs, the luminescence starts
from the cathode (negatively charged electrode), that is, the current
flow (the ether current, see sec. 12) starts from the cathode (see also
the reasoning in sec. 23.9.1 on p. 499). According to the equation of
motion (5) in the absence of the external forces 𝐅𝐅 = 0, the ether flows
in the direction of the lower pressure. This means that the negative
charge of a certain region must correspond to the increased pressure
of the ether in it compared to the pressure in the surrounding ether.
The anode (the positively charged electrode) receives an electrical
current. Therefore, the positive charge of a certain region corresponds
to a reduced pressure in it with respect to the pressure outside this
region, otherwise the current (the ether) could not flow into the anode.
The direction of the electrostatic field outside the charged region
is determined by the pressure gradient of the ether, see formulas (72),
(15). For example, if going beyond the boundary of a negatively
charged object the flow of the ether accelerates (as when a gas moves
through small holes in a balloon), the speed of the ether decreases as
the distance from the object increases and the ether density changes
slightly, then according to (15), (72), the pressure gradient in the ex-
ternal to the object area is directed from the object, and the electric
field is directed to it. That is, in this case, the electric field from the
side external to the negatively charged object is directed to the object.
Similarly, if around the outside of a positively charged object, the
ether flow stagnates, then in this region the electric field is directed
from the object.
The directions of the electric field obtained from the ether inter-
pretation of the positively and negatively charged object coincide
with those accepted in physics, see, for example: [28, p. 19, 20].
91
Sec. 18.13, 18.14 discuss the etheric interpretation of the behav-
ior of the potential and the electrostatic field on the surface of the
conductor, the transfer of a charge at contact of objects, guidance of
the induction charge, and the principles of electrostatic devices oper-
ation. A detailed study of these processes requires the construction of
the etheric model of a solid body, which is the direction of further
research.
The ether has a number of kinetic properties, for example, vis-
cosity and self-diffusion, determined by the behavior of its structural
elements – newtonians, see sec. 21. This imposes certain restrictions
on the properties of objects formed by the ether. Therefore, in the
etheric interpretation of natural phenomena, it is easy to explain the
accepted in physics hypothesis about the existence of a minimal indi-
visible charge. The minimum negative charge can be interpreted as
the minimum excess pressure, which can be kept for a long time by
the ether object, for example, a vortex one, while reducing its size.
Similarly, the minimum positive charge is a minimal underpressure,
which can persist in an object for a long time while reducing its size.
Perhaps such charges are the charges of the electron and proton.
In conclusion, we note that equation (31) can be written in the form
of a conservation law. Define the velocity of the charge density flow as

The wave equation is well studied (see, for example: : [62, ch. II,
V; 33, p. 17–22]). This equation describes different kind of waves
including plane, spherical, longitudinal and transverse waves.
The initial system of ether equations (22), (23) has wave solutions
even without the assumption of small perturbations of the sought
functions.
For example, when 𝑞𝑞 = 0, 𝐅𝐅 = 0, 𝛱𝛱 = 0 one of the solutions of

at 𝜌𝜌 = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 are plane waves
95
differentiation of 𝐮𝐮 with respect to spatial variables. As a result, when
describing waves in terms of vectors 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁, the motion component
in the direction of the wave propagation drops out.
The etheric representation of the electromagnetic waves allows
to explain the wave-particle duality observed in the experiments. The
corpuscular influence can be attributed to the manifestation of the
wave velocity longitudinal component (the components 𝑢𝑢𝑧𝑧,0 𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 in the
considered example and 𝑐𝑐𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 in the formula (220), and the wave effects
to the manifestation of the transverse component of the velocity.
Let us give an example of the wave solution of the system (79), in
which the assumption 𝜌𝜌 = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 is not used. In the spherical coordinate
system (𝑟𝑟, 𝜃𝜃, 𝜑𝜑) with the unit basis vectors 𝐢𝐢𝑟𝑟 , 𝐢𝐢𝜃𝜃 , 𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 one of the approx-
imate solutions of the equations (79) for large 𝑟𝑟 is a spherical wave
where 𝐶𝐶2 and 𝐶𝐶3 are arbitrary constants that ensure the expression un-
der the root to be nonnegative.
Having calculated the wave density and velocity of the ether, it is
possible to find the corresponding electric and magnetic fields 𝐄𝐄 and
𝐁𝐁 using the formulas (20) and (21). Vectors 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁 will remain the
wave ones, since the differentiation operation does not change the
wave character of the function. However, in the general case, the de-
scription of the electromagnetic waves only with the help of the vec-
tors 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁, without taking into account their etheric origin, leads to
difficult-to-perceive paradoxes, such as the wave-particle duality.
Note that by specifying sources 𝑞𝑞 and external forces 𝐅𝐅 in the
equations (22), (23), one can obtain ether waves of a rather complex
structure, including those described in terms of 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁 as the longi-
96
tudinal electromagnetic waves. A detailed review and analysis of ex-
perimental observations of the longitudinal electromagnetic waves is
given in the book [63].
It is known from the experiments that the speed of free propaga-
tion of waves in the ether is equal to the speed of light 𝑐𝑐. Therefore,
in the wave equations for small perturbations (78) and in the solutions
(80), (81) of the more general system (79), one can put |𝐮𝐮∗ | = 𝑐𝑐,
�𝑢𝑢𝑧𝑧,0 � = 𝑐𝑐, |𝐶𝐶2 | = 𝑐𝑐. In the most general case, for example, with
strong disturbances or the presence of obstacles, sources or sinks, ex-
ternal forces, the velocity 𝐮𝐮 and the ether density 𝜌𝜌, including for
wave processes, must be calculated using the original ether equations
(4)–(6), (15) or (22), (23), (15).
At 𝑞𝑞 ≠ 0, 𝐅𝐅 ≠ 0, effects of the type of leading and lagging shock
waves can occur [81, 96]. Shock waves in the ether can also be formed
spontaneously, see sec. 6.1.
It is important to emphasize that the whole variety of processes
in the ether is not exhausted only by the wave processes, since the
ether equations have not only wave solutions.

of the process is called the action, more precisely, “the least expendi-
ture of resources with the greatest action” [66, p. 242]. Therefore,
Planck's constant ℎ has the meaning of action.
We now consider the etheric interpretation of the de Broglie
wavelength. In physics, the wavelength is the ratio of the magnitude
of the velocity to the frequency of the wave process

method of obtaining conditions on the surface of the discontinuity,
based on integral relations, in which the continuity of the sought func-
tions is not implied. Discontinuity surfaces can be introduced as spec-
ified surfaces with given laws of their motion or as the sought surfaces
when their shape and motion must be found at solving of a problem.
𝑑𝑑𝐮𝐮�𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)�/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 0.

It should be noted that the formation of such a discontinuity al-
lows us to hope that a substance (matter) can be created by the special
system of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation receivers. It is not
excluded that a similar process is realized during the photosynthesis.

the ether density and velocity equations in the integral form condi-
tions that must be fulfilled in the ether on the surface of the functions
discontinuity in any inertial or non-inertial frame of reference
Here, the index indicates the limit on the corresponding side of the
discontinuity surface, 𝑝𝑝 is the pressure (the value with the opposite
sign of the diagonal element of the simplest internal tensions tensor,
p. 26), 𝐧𝐧 = 𝐧𝐧(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫) is the normal to the discontinuity surface in the
direction of the transition from the side 2 to the side 1, 𝐮𝐮𝑏𝑏 = 𝐮𝐮𝑏𝑏 (𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫)
is the velocity of the discontinuity surface displacement. ∆𝑠𝑠 is the area
of the discontinuity surface element, ℎ is the length of the segment
along the normal to the discontinuity surface [14, p. 393], 𝑄𝑄 and 𝓡𝓡
are the external surface densities of the source (in the unit area per
unit time) of the ether and the force on the discontinuity surface. If
the sources 𝑞𝑞, 𝐅𝐅 are finite in the volume 𝑉𝑉, then 𝑄𝑄 = 0, 𝓡𝓡 = 0.
The given system of the differential equations can be associated
with various systems of the integral relations, which for continuous
motions are equivalent between themselves and with this system of
the differential equations. For motions with strong discontinuities,
different systems of such integral relations can be nonequivalent. The
choice of integral laws that are true not only for continuous motions,
but also in the case of the presence of strong gaps inside the medium,
110
is associated with the additional hypotheses, the applicability of
which must be tested in experiments [14, p. 390]. Therefore, along
with relations (86), (87), alternative conditions at the discontinuity
can be considered in the ether.
The equation of the ether motion differs from the motion equation
of the continuous medium classical mechanics (see sec. 1.2). The
principle difference is the presence of the velocity divergence in the
equation of the ether motion (30). In order to take this circumstance
directly into account at the discontinuity condition, we map some in-
tegral equation with the equation (30) and reduce it to the form that
allows applying the result on the discontinuity surface known from
the classical continuous media mechanics.
In [21], p. 151, the general formula was derived
𝑑𝑑 𝜕𝜕𝐀𝐀
� 𝐀𝐀 ∙ 𝐧𝐧 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = � � − (𝐀𝐀 ∙ 𝛁𝛁)𝐕𝐕 + (𝛁𝛁 ∙ 𝐕𝐕)𝐀𝐀� ∙ 𝐧𝐧 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑, (88)

where the surface 𝑆𝑆(𝑡𝑡) limits the moving volume, the points 𝑆𝑆(𝑡𝑡)
move with the velocity 𝐕𝐕 = 𝐕𝐕(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫). A concise proof of this formula
is given in [21] on p. 152 using the derivative of the integral over the
liquid circuit.
We use the formula (88) for 𝐀𝐀 = 𝐮𝐮(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫), 𝐕𝐕 = −𝐮𝐮(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫), 𝑆𝑆(𝑡𝑡) =
𝛴𝛴 ∗ (𝑡𝑡):
𝑑𝑑 𝜕𝜕𝐮𝐮

𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 𝛴𝛴 ∗(𝑡𝑡) 𝛴𝛴 ∗ (𝑡𝑡) 𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕
where the vector 𝐧𝐧 = 𝐧𝐧(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫) is the external with respect to 𝑉𝑉 ∗ (𝑡𝑡) nor-
mal to the surface 𝛴𝛴 ∗ (𝑡𝑡). This choice of 𝐀𝐀 and 𝐕𝐕 can be interpreted as
consideration of the surface 𝑆𝑆(𝑡𝑡) which is fixed relatively to the ve-
locity field 𝐀𝐀 = 𝐮𝐮. The left hand side of the formula (89) is the time
111
derivative of the velocity vector 𝐮𝐮 flux through the surface of the liq-
uid volume.
By virtue of the equation (30) from (89) we have
𝑑𝑑 𝑞𝑞 𝐅𝐅 + 𝛁𝛁𝑃𝑃

The left hand side of this formula coincides with the left hand

replaced by 𝛁𝛁 ∙ 𝐮𝐮.
For the right hand side, using the formula (4.7 ′) from [14, p.

The condition (92) contains one equation, while the condition (87)
is the vector one and has three components. In this sense, using of (92)
imposes fewer restrictions on the sought functions than using of (87).
Both conditions contain not only the normal component of the
velocity, but also its other components. Therefore, all velocity com-
ponents can participate in the formation of a discrete set of the me-
dium states arising due to a discontinuity, for example, in the effect
of quantizing the frequencies of the medium oscillations.
113
In the process under consideration, the frequency of the velocity
oscillation is determined by the value of 𝜆𝜆. In the case of 𝜆𝜆 ≠ 0 there
is a discontinuity of the ether density at 𝜑𝜑 = 2𝜋𝜋. We assume that this
discontinuity is not internal, for example, it is supported by the bound-
ary conditions for density on the sides of the impenetrable wall lo-
cated at 𝜑𝜑 = 2𝜋𝜋.
Investigate the ether flow in the presence of the inner surface of
the discontinuity having the shape of a cylinder of the radius 𝑟𝑟 = 𝑟𝑟𝑑𝑑 ,
inside which the ether moves with the parameter 𝜆𝜆 = 𝜆𝜆1, and outside
– with 𝜆𝜆 = 0, that is, outside the cylinder 𝐮𝐮 = 𝑢𝑢0 𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 , 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 = 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 /𝑟𝑟.
Conditions at the discontinuity (86), (92) give the equations for deter-
mining of the parameter 𝜆𝜆1
sin(𝜆𝜆1 ln(𝑟𝑟𝑑𝑑 )) = 0,
sin(𝜆𝜆1 ln(𝑟𝑟𝑑𝑑 ))(𝜆𝜆1 cos(𝜆𝜆1 ln(𝑟𝑟𝑑𝑑 )) + sin(𝜆𝜆1 ln(𝑟𝑟𝑑𝑑 ))) = 0.
Thus, considered steady state motion of the ether inside the cyl-
inder is possible only at the discrete set of values of the parameter 𝜆𝜆1 :
𝜆𝜆1 = 𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋/ ln(𝑟𝑟𝑑𝑑 ), where 𝑘𝑘 is the integer. In other words, only quantum
steady states of the given ether flow exist.
The considered example also allows us illustrating the nonequiv-
alence of conditions (87) and (92). When using relations (87) instead
of (92), it is not possible to choose the value of the parameter 𝜆𝜆1 , un-
der which the condition (87) would turn into the identity. That is, in
the mathematical model of this discontinuous flow with the condition
(87) even the quantum steady states are impossible.

tions). Maxwell's equations written in the differential form corre-
spond to Maxwell's equations in the integral form. Thus, there is a
correspondence between the ether equations and the Maxwell equa-
tions in the integral form.
Maxwell's equations in the integral form allow us obtaining rela-
tions that the magnetic and electric fields from different sides of the
discontinuity surface must satisfy (see, for example: [14, ch. VII, sec.
4; 28, p. 338]):

𝑐𝑐
(𝐄𝐄1 − 𝐄𝐄2 ) ∙ 𝛕𝛕 = 0,
where 𝐧𝐧 and 𝛕𝛕 are the unit vectors of the normal and tangent to the
discontinuity surface, 𝜀𝜀 and 𝜇𝜇 are the dielectric and magnetic perme-
abilities of the medium, 𝛾𝛾 is the surface density of electric charges, 𝐢𝐢
is the surface current density.
From the point of view of the continuous media mechanics meth-
odology, applied systematically in the book; it is important to empha-
size that the conditions at the discontinuity of the electromagnetic
field correspond to the second Newton’s law in the sense of matching
the Maxwell equations in the integral form.
From these conditions, using the etheric representation of the
magnetic and electric fields (20), (21), we obtain the following rela-
tions for the velocity and density of the ether on the surface of the
discontinuity:

2𝜋𝜋 𝑇𝑇 𝑟𝑟 3 (𝑥𝑥 − 𝛾𝛾, 𝑦𝑦 − 𝜂𝜂, 𝑧𝑧 − 𝜉𝜉)
where 𝐫𝐫 is the radius vector drawn from the variable integration point
(𝛾𝛾, 𝜂𝜂, 𝜉𝜉) to the considered point with the coordinates (𝑥𝑥, 𝑦𝑦, 𝑧𝑧). This
formula is a purely mathematical statement, not based on any con-
cepts of the continuous media mechanics. But it is usually proved in
the literature on the continuous media mechanics and is called a gen-
eralization of the Biot – Savart formula for the vortical volume of an
incompressible medium (see, for example: [19, p. 93]). The field 𝐯𝐯 is
called an induced field.
The formula for one infinitely thin cord (thread or filament), not
necessarily coinciding with the vortex thread, is obtained by passing
to the limit in (97)

cord. The limit is taken under the condition of a finite circulation
Γ�𝐫𝐫𝑳𝑳 (𝑙𝑙)� = 2𝛚𝛚𝑑𝑑𝐬𝐬 [15, p. 285].
If the thread (or cord) coincides with the vortex thread (or vortex
tube), then the circulation Γ is constant and can be taken out from the
integral sign [15, p. 285; 19, p. 93].

The expressions (100) and (101) are the ether analogs of the Biot

curve 𝐿𝐿 coincides with the vortex thread of the field (99), the circula-
tion Γ𝐁𝐁 can be taken out from the integral sign. The formulas remain

If the current 𝐼𝐼total is constant along the curve 𝐿𝐿, then it can be taken
out from the integral sign. This situation occurs, for example, if the
curve 𝐿𝐿 coincides with the vortex thread of the field (99), since
𝐼𝐼total = 𝑐𝑐Γ𝐁𝐁 /(4𝜋𝜋), and the circulation Γ𝐁𝐁 of the vortex thread is con-
stant.
For |𝐮𝐮| ≈ 𝑐𝑐 and the steady state process 𝐼𝐼total = 𝐼𝐼 (the partial de-
rivatives over time go to zero) formulas (103), (104) express the Biot

It is important to emphasize that here the formulas (103), (104)
are obtained theoretically on the basis of the ether equations. That is,
these formulas, like Maxwell's equations, are consequences of the
general laws of the ether motion (4)–(6). At that, (103), (104) gener-

Expressions (102)–(104) in the region of their applicability
(𝛁𝛁|𝐮𝐮| ≈ 0) can be used to calculate the magnetic field from the den-
sity 𝜌𝜌 and the velocity 𝐮𝐮 of the ether given in the volume 𝑇𝑇 or the
thread 𝐿𝐿. One can use the results from [19, p. 93–95; 15, p. 284–298;
28, p. 216–220; 18, ch. 2].
In the particular case of the straight line 𝐿𝐿 and the straight current
𝐼𝐼, we obtain the Oersted law [28, p. 216; 31; 41]

(103), (104), the magnetic field 𝐁𝐁 has to be present in the ether. It is
important to emphasize that the presence of charged particles is not
required.
The entire relationship between 𝐁𝐁 and the current density 𝐣𝐣total is
determined only by the corresponding density 𝜌𝜌 and velocity 𝐮𝐮 of the
ether.
Here we consider the unclosed surface 𝑆𝑆(𝑡𝑡), since for the closed 𝑆𝑆(𝑡𝑡)
the magnetic flow Φ is equal to zero due to the Ostrogradsky – Gauss
theorem and the solenoidality of the field 𝐁𝐁 (27).
The shape of an unclosed surface 𝑆𝑆(𝑡𝑡), based on the same con-
tour, does not influence the value Φ. This statement follows from the
equality
� 𝐁𝐁 ∙ 𝐧𝐧 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 + � 𝐁𝐁 ∙ (−𝐧𝐧)𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 =
𝑆𝑆(𝑡𝑡) 𝑆𝑆1 (𝑡𝑡)

� 𝐁𝐁 ∙ 𝐧𝐧 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = � 𝛁𝛁 ∙ 𝐁𝐁 𝑑𝑑𝜏𝜏 = 0,

In the case when at the points of the curve 𝐿𝐿(𝑡𝑡) the current is the

on the form of 𝑆𝑆(𝑡𝑡)). Therefore, ℒ(𝑡𝑡) in the formula (107) can be con-
sidered as an etheric generalization of the classical concept of induct-
ance of the thin closed current. ℒ(𝑡𝑡) is also called the self-induction,
or self-induction coefficient (see, for example: [28, p. 271]).
Applying the expression (100) in the definition of the magnetic
flux (106), one can similarly introduce the concept of the inductance
of the volume 𝑇𝑇(𝑡𝑡), creating the magnetic field 𝐁𝐁.

Taking into account that the term 𝛁𝛁𝑃𝑃 does not contribute to the
integral (since (𝛁𝛁 × (𝛁𝛁𝑃𝑃) = 0)), we obtain

We emphasize that the formulas (108) and (109) show that emf
of the induction appears in the circuit when the magnetic field or the
circuit varies with time, as well as in the presence of the electric field.
Moreover, the contribution to ℰ(𝑡𝑡) is made only by the non-potential
component of the vector 𝐄𝐄, since the integral over the closed contour
of the potential component is zero.
The physical interpretation of the second (magnetic) term under
the integral in the formula (109) is given in sec. 18.11.
Considered emf of the induction is just one of the ways to excite
emf. There are some other ways of emf generating not related to a
change in the magnetic field or a change in the contour. For example,
emf may occur when creating the potential difference in the motion-
less circuit section due to an electric battery or the action of the exter-
nal force. Each method of emf generating is described, in general, by
its own quantitative relations.
The Lenz rule in physics is established by generalization of the
experimental facts: the induction current always has such a direction
that it weakens the effect of the reason that excites this current (see,
for example: [28, c. 260]). In the ether interpretation, this rule is also
a formal consequence of the ether equations, namely, the formula
(109).
Using the formulas (20), (21) emf of the induction ℰ is expressed
through the density 𝜌𝜌 and the velocity 𝐮𝐮 of the ether. Therefore, the
formula (109) can be interpreted as the occurrence of emf induction
as a result of the ether motion in the closed contour 𝐿𝐿(𝑡𝑡), caused by a
change in the magnetic flux through the surface 𝑆𝑆(𝑡𝑡) bounded by this
contour. It follows that, for example, if 𝐿𝐿(𝑡𝑡) coincides with a conduc-
tor, then the electric current in this conductor is primarily caused by
the ether motion in it, and not the motion of charged particles. The
motion of charged particles is caused by the ether flow. This result
allows us to make an important conclusion for practice: emf can be
excited using the existing ether motion in nature of velocity 𝐕𝐕.
126
The electrical current in the conductors is discussed in more de-
tail in sec. 12 and 18.
In general physics, the excitation and flow of the electric current
at a conductor motion in the magnetic field is associated exclusively
with the motion of electrons in it [28, 31, 34], and the mechanism of
the Lorentz force action on them is explained by the relativistic effect
[32, v. 3, p. 72; 28, p. 16]. In this case, big problems arise with the
interpretation of many experiments. For example, the experiments
show that in the long wire the direct (constant) current excited at one
of its ends appears at the other end much faster than the typical time
of the directed motion of charged particles in it (if any). It is difficult
to explain the high transmission speed of signals through a conductor
using electrons; the speed of motion for metals is no more than a few
centimeters per second, and even lower for electrolytes (see, for ex-
ample: [28, p. 214]). Moreover, the analysis of the experiments with
the explosion of wires by the electric current (sec. 18.10) and other
experiments (sec. 12.2, 12.3, 21.11, 23.2.1, 23.2.2, 23.3, 23.6.1,
23.6.2) shows that not the electrons are the main carrier of the electric
current energy.
Mechanical (etheric) interpretation of the emf induction, based
on deriving of the formulas (107) and (109) from Newton's second
law, provides a clear mechanism for the excitation and flow of the
electric current in the conductor.
From (107), (109) one has
1 𝑑𝑑ℒ(𝑡𝑡)𝐼𝐼total (𝑡𝑡)
= −ℰ(𝑡𝑡). (110)
𝑐𝑐 2 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
127
to various effects, including the motion of charged particles in the con-
ductor. Moreover, in some cases, for example, at superconductivity
(sec. 12.5) or in the magnetic phenomena (sec. 19), the ether flow may
not excite appreciable motion of charged particles in conductors, on
the contrary, charged particles can interfere the superconductivity.
128
the limit of partial sums exists for any partition of this surface into
elementary areas, including the partition proposed in [21, p. 150].
In the first limit, after the first equality in the formula on the 8-th
line in [21, p. 152], the integral depending on the parameter 𝑡𝑡 appears
under the limit sign. According to the theorem on differentiation of a
parameter-dependent integral, when a derivative is placed under the
integral sign, all other arguments of the functions included in it are
considered fixed. Therefore, it is the partial derivative with respect to
time that appears under the integral sign, not the full derivative. Here-
with, the full derivative over 𝑡𝑡 is written before the sign of the integral,
since the integral itself is a function of only one variable – time.
The partial time derivative in the integral identity is not invariant
with respect to the Galileo transform and gives an additional term, see
formula (44).
In the general case, to study the invariance of the integral identity,
it is necessary to check that the closed-loop integral of this additional
term is equal to zero.
However, in the case of the ether motion, which is of interest to
us, it is possible to avoid the solution of the general problem. For 𝐀𝐀 =
𝑐𝑐𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮 the partial derivative over 𝑡𝑡 is expressed through invariant quan-
tities by the formula (24) (see p. 77), that is, on the solution of the
ether motion equation the partial derivative of such function is invar-
iant, in spite of the fact that the formula for it changes under the Gal-
ilean substitution. Therefore, in the case of 𝐀𝐀 = 𝑐𝑐𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮, the integral
identity is invariant with respect to the Galilean transformation on the
solution of the ether motion equation.
Thus, when deriving the law of electromagnetic induction (109),
only transitions invariant with respect to the Galileo transformation
were used for the ether motion. Therefore, this law is invariant with
respect to the Galileo transformation on the solution of the equation
of the ether motion.

We get that the ether momentum in the volume 𝑇𝑇, standing on the
left side of the equality, is represented as a half-sum of the volume
integral of the component containing the vortex, and some surface in-
tegral. From this it is seen that if the second term in the right part tends
to zero when extending 𝑇𝑇 to the entire space, then the first term in the
right part is the impulse (amount of motion or momentum) of the un-
limited space of the ether.
By analogy with continuous media mechanics we call the vector
1
𝐈𝐈(𝑡𝑡) ≡ � 𝐫𝐫 × �𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮)� 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 (112)
2 𝑇𝑇
the vortex impulse of the ether and show that for the unlimited volume
of the ether it satisfies the analogue of the second law of Newton. The
existence of the integral over the whole space is ensured by the con-
dition of the boundedness of the vortex region 𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮) ≠ 0 or by
131
the requirement of the corresponding behavior of 𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮) at infin-
ity.
We emphasize that the factor 1/2 arises in 𝐈𝐈(𝑡𝑡) in a natural way
as a result of using the integral equality (111).
We calculate the time derivative of 𝐈𝐈(𝑡𝑡) with the formula for dif-
ferentiating of the integral depending on the parameter 𝑡𝑡, taking into
account that the consided volume 𝑇𝑇 is constant over 𝑡𝑡

Let us transform the third term in the right hand side of (113)
using the mean value theorem [51, sec. 4.7-1]
where 𝐢𝐢𝑘𝑘 are the unit vectors of the Cartesian coordinate system, 𝑘𝑘 =
1,2,3, 𝐮𝐮∗𝑙𝑙 ≡ 𝑢𝑢𝑙𝑙1
∗ ∗
𝐢𝐢1 + 𝑢𝑢𝑙𝑙2 ∗
𝐢𝐢2 + 𝑢𝑢𝑙𝑙3 𝐢𝐢3.
The last equality reduces by the gradient theorem [51, p. 175] to
the surface integral. Then
3
� (𝐮𝐮 ∙ 𝛁𝛁)(𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮) 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = � 𝐢𝐢𝑙𝑙 �𝐮𝐮∗𝑙𝑙 ∙ � 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝑢𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝐧𝐧 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑� =

133
Thus, all the terms on the right hand side of (113), except the first
one, are the surface integrals. These integrals, vanish when the do-
main 𝑇𝑇 is expanded to the entire space, since, by assumption, the func-
tions 𝐅𝐅 and 𝐮𝐮 rapidly decrease at infinity. Therefore, in the limit, we
obtain the following law of the ether vortex impulse change:
𝑑𝑑𝐈𝐈(𝑡𝑡)
= � 𝐅𝐅 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑. (115)
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 ∞
1 𝐁𝐁
𝐈𝐈(𝑡𝑡) = 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 � 𝐫𝐫 × 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑. (116)
2 𝑇𝑇 𝑐𝑐
Then the formula (115) gives the law of the magnetic field moment
variation, including the law of the magnetic field moment conserva-
tion in the absence of the external non-potential forces.
It is important to emphasize that the law (116) in the ether inter-
pretation is obtained as a consequence of Newton's second law, and
not as a generalization of the experimental facts or relativistic as-
sumptions. An experimental verification of this law can serve as yet
another confirmation of the ether theory. Besides, direct measurement
of 𝐈𝐈 and 𝐮𝐮 will allow to estimate the density of the ether using the
134
formula (116), in which instead of the field 𝐁𝐁, its ether representation
(20) is substituted.
The law of the magnetic moment conservation can explain the
so-called gyromagnetic effect [14, p. 150], the physical interpretation
of which is not convincing, as well as the phenomena observed in the
experiments of de Palma and Aspden, see sec. 23.3.
We emphasize once again that the factor 1/2 in the formulas
(112), (116) arises naturally as the result of the integral identity (111)
applying.
Note that, by analogy with the vortex impulse momentum of con-
tinuous media mechanics [17, sec. 3.5; 18, sec. 1.7.2], one can intro-
duce the concept of the vortex impulse momentum of the ether and
consider the law of its change. The vortex impulse momentum of the
ether corresponds to the momentum of the magnetic field momentum.
Denote the volume, occupied by the vortex, 𝑇𝑇𝑣𝑣 . Let the ether flow
outside 𝑇𝑇𝑣𝑣 be vortexless 𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮) = 0 or 𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮) decreases rap-
idly, and, moreover, at infinity the speed of the ether and external
forces limit to zero so that the corresponding improper integrals con-
verge.
According to the definition (112), the vortex impulse of the ether
is
1
𝐈𝐈(𝑡𝑡) = � 𝐫𝐫 × �𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮)� 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑. (117)
2 𝑇𝑇𝑣𝑣
135
Let us calculate the force acting in the volume 𝑇𝑇𝑣𝑣 of the vortex
flow due to the driven external velocity 𝐕𝐕 = 𝐕𝐕(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫) at points of 𝑇𝑇𝑣𝑣 .
We assume that 𝐕𝐕 is specified relatively to 𝐮𝐮 (complementary to 𝐮𝐮)
and that 𝐕𝐕 leads to a displacement of the medium particles (Lagrange
particles). Outside 𝑇𝑇𝑣𝑣 and at infinity, we require from 𝐕𝐕 to satisfy the
condition 𝐕𝐕 = 0 and to behave ensuring the convergence of the cor-
responding improper integrals.
In such a formulation of the problem, to obtain the law of change
𝐈𝐈(𝑡𝑡), the increment of 𝐈𝐈(𝑡𝑡), arising in a short time ∆𝑡𝑡, should be con-
sidered in the presence of the given velocity 𝐕𝐕. Using formula (117)
with 𝐮𝐮 replaced by 𝐮𝐮 + 𝐕𝐕 and subsequent time differentiation of the
integral depending on the parameter 𝑡𝑡, would be insufficient, since it
would not take into account the effect of medium particles displace-
ment as a result of velocity 𝐕𝐕 applying.
At the moment of time 𝑡𝑡 + ∆𝑡𝑡 for the vortex impulse ∆𝐈𝐈 of the
elementary volume ∆𝜏𝜏, we have
1
∆𝐈𝐈(𝑡𝑡 + ∆𝑡𝑡) = 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡 + ∆𝑡𝑡) × (𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮)𝑡𝑡=𝑡𝑡+∆𝑡𝑡 )∆𝜏𝜏.

136
According to the formulation of the problem, the displacement is
considered as a result of giving to the Lagrangian particle of velocity
𝐕𝐕 relative to the existing velocity 𝐮𝐮 (additional to 𝐮𝐮). Besides, accord-
ing to the meaning of the calculated force during the time ∆𝑡𝑡, the dis-
placement is taken into account only due to the instantaneous appli-
cation of the velocity 𝐕𝐕, that is, the displacement relative to the cur-
rent position. Therefore, in the formula (118) we have 𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 𝐕𝐕.
In the equation of the ether motion (23) (Newton's second law),
the additional acceleration 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮 due to the external velocity 𝐕𝐕 is de-
scribed by the convective derivative, the interpretation of which con-
sists in acceleration caused by the motion of the medium with velocity

current state is considered due to the instantaneous application of the
velocity 𝐕𝐕)

On the right hand side of this expression the volume integral of the
first and second terms is reduced to the surface one by the rotor theorem
and the gradient theorem respectively. The volume integrals from the
third and fourth terms are transformed to surface integrals using the
mean theorem and the divergence theorem (functions 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮 and 𝐕𝐕 are
taken out at the midpoint by analogy with the calculations in (114)).
As the volume 𝑇𝑇𝑣𝑣 limits to the volume of the whole space, all the
surface integrals vanish, since, by assumption, the functions 𝐅𝐅, 𝐮𝐮 and
𝐕𝐕 rapidly decrease at infinity. Therefore, in the limit we get
𝑑𝑑𝐈𝐈

I Integration in the third and fourth terms is left over the region of
nonzero vorticity 𝑇𝑇𝑣𝑣 , since according to the problem formulation the
integrands are zero or decrease rapidly outside 𝑇𝑇𝑣𝑣 .
In the case 𝛁𝛁 × 𝐕𝐕 = 0, considered in [17, sec. 3.7], the formula
(119) goes to the formula (14) from [17, p. 77].
As shown above, the amount of the ether motion in the limit
throughout the entire space is equal to the vortex impulse. On the
other hand, according to Newton's second law, the change in the
amount of motion is equal to the force applied. Therefore, the right
hand side of the formula (119) has the meaning of the force 𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕 (𝑡𝑡),
acting on the ether flow in the volume 𝑇𝑇𝑣𝑣 when the external velocity 𝐕𝐕
is driven at points of 𝑇𝑇𝑣𝑣 :

the external ether flow before this flow reaches the object itself.
We emphasize that the effect of the vortex flow force influence
on an object also takes place in an incompressible medium when there
is no drag to the oncoming flow (d’Alembert paradox [26, sec. 100;
15, p. 172, 303]).

Consider known equations for the trajectory of a particle with
charge 𝑒𝑒 and mass 𝑚𝑚 moving in the fields 𝐁𝐁ext and 𝐄𝐄ext under the
action of the Lorentz force [55, p. 19],

Compare equations of motion (125) and (126).
The acceleration in the left part of (125) when using the Lagran-
gian description of the medium (𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫0 ), where 𝑡𝑡 is variable and 𝐫𝐫0 is
constant radius vector of the elementary volume initial position point,
is determined by differentiating in time the function of one variable
𝐲𝐲(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫0 ), see, for example [21, p. 144].
The description of a material point motion (126) is always carried
out in the Lagrangian approach, since the motion of this point is always
traced rather than the passage of different points through a given one.
Therefore, the acceleration is also calculated by differentiating the func-
tion of one variable 𝐯𝐯(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫0 ) over time [68, p. 62, 22].
So the left parts of equations (125) and (126) have the same def-
inition. Vectors and vector product in the right parts of equations
(125) and (126) are also defined identically. Thus vectors and all op-
erations with them have the same mathematical meaning both in the
Lagrangian form of equation (125) and in equation (126).
Equation (126) for function 𝐯𝐯 transforms into equation (125) for
the function 𝐲𝐲 in the Lagrangian description if in (125) the positive
constant 𝑒𝑒/(𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚) for 𝑒𝑒 > 0 is replaced by the positive constant 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 /𝑐𝑐,
𝐁𝐁ext by 𝐁𝐁ext /𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 and (𝑒𝑒/𝑚𝑚)𝐄𝐄ext by 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝐄𝐄ext . Herewith, as noted, all
operations with vectors appearing in the equations are defined in the
same way. Therefore, the solution 𝐲𝐲 = 𝐲𝐲(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫0 ) of equation (125), and
hence the function 𝐕𝐕 = 𝐲𝐲/𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 , can be obtained from the solution 𝐯𝐯 =
𝐯𝐯(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫0 ) of equation (126) using the same replacement.
145
The equations for the trajectories 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡) and 𝐫𝐫𝑝𝑝 (𝑡𝑡) are identical up
to the notation. Therefore, the solution 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡) can be obtained from the
solution 𝐫𝐫𝑝𝑝 (𝑡𝑡) by replacing 𝐯𝐯 with 𝐕𝐕.
Thus, the substitution

With the same values of the parameters we have: 𝜈𝜈э,𝐿𝐿 ≈ 2.2 ∙ 104 ,
𝜈𝜈elctr,𝐿𝐿 ≈ 3.5 ∙ 109 , 𝜈𝜈prot,𝐿𝐿 ≈ 1.9 ∙ 106 [1/s].
The correspondence between the motion of the ether elementary
volume and the positively charged particle allows to propose the fol-
lowing fairly general scheme of pumping kinetic energy into the ether.
Let the ether elementary volume be periodically affected by a
pulsed magnetic field with a pulse duration ∆𝑡𝑡st .
The number of revolutions of the elementary volume per pulse is
calculated as the ratio of the path traveled to the length of the Larmor
circle (circumference)
147
Let at each pulse of the magnetic field the elementary volume
acquire an increment Δ𝐕𝐕⊥ in velocity under the action of some exter-
nal impulsive force, for example, the electric field 𝐄𝐄ext . If, by select-
ing the frequency of this force in accordance with the number of rev-
olutions 𝑛𝑛э , the increment Δ𝐕𝐕⊥ in the direction of velocity 𝐕𝐕⊥ is
achieved at each impulse, then the value of velocity of the ether ele-
mentary volume will begin to grow, and in the ideal case unlimitedly.
Herewith, the velocities of all elementary volumes of the ether will
increase at once, regardless of their current velocities, since the num-
ber 𝑛𝑛э and, consequently, the frequency of the external force set by it,
do not depend on the ether elementary volume velocity |𝐕𝐕⊥ |.
The effect of increasing the ether kinetic energy in such a scheme
we will call the cyclotron ether resonance (CER) by the analogy with
electron and ion cyclotron resonances (ECR and ICR), see, for exam-
ple: [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_cyclotron_resonance].
According to (128), CER can be initiated at audio frequencies,
the value of which is significantly smaller than the gigahertz excita-
tion frequencies of the ECR, and the megahertz frequencies required
for the ICR. This opens up wide opportunities for applications, since
the equipment for obtaining oscillations in the audio frequency range
is much simpler and cheaper than the equipment for gigahertz and
megahertz bands. Besides, the observations of CER in different ex-
periments at sound frequencies will provide another argument for the
existence of the ether, if such experiments do not include the excita-
tion frequencies of ECR or ICR.
We emphasize that the CER effect can already be considered ex-
perimentally confirmed. For example, this conclusion can be reached
with the quantitative etheric interpretation of the Corums experiments
on the ball lightning creation, described in sufficient detail in [247]. At
the qualitative level, these experiments are analyzed in section 24.4.
There is no description of the details of many of Tesla's experi-
ments, but, judging by the available data, he used the CER to increase
the ether kinetic energy (pumping energy into the ether) in obtaining
148
ball lightning (sec. 24.4) and in experiments with the tower to
transport energy and receive it from the ionosphere.
Modern theoretical physics, which operates with "empty" space,
loses the CER effect and therefore can neither explain nor propose
technologies based on it.
In conclusion, we note that in the Euler approach of describing
the medium with the variables (𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫), where 𝑡𝑡 and 𝐫𝐫 are independent,
the formulas for the acceleration of the medium elementary volume
and the acceleration of a material point differ by the presence of the
derivative of the velocity component over the coordinates [68, p. 62,
22–27; 14, v. 1, p. 144; 9 (2003), p. 55, 56; 21, p. 144–146]:
149
However, the Eulerian and Lagrangian approaches to the medium
description are equivalent in the sense that under some constraints on
the functions it is possible to establish a one-to-one correspondence
between these descriptions, see, for example, p. 75 and [14, v. 1, p.
36]. Therefore, the results obtained in the Eulerian variables reflect
the same laws of the medium motion as the results obtained in the
Lagrangian variables. In particular, the Euler approach describes the
same regularities of the ether behavior in external strong electric and
magnetic fields as the Lagrange one. That is, in such fields, the motion
in Eulerian variables can be interpreted as a description of the medium
behavior consisting of elementary volumes, each of which moves ac-
cording to the law similar to the law of motion of a positively charged
material point.
In sec. 7–9 only some definite behavior of the ether density and
velocity was required, and the presence of any material structures
holding the electric current was not supposed.
In this section, we consider the etheric (gas-hydrodynamic or me-
chanical) interpretation of the current flow in the material carrier,
150
providing a conductor for the electric current. Exploration of the char-
acteristics of the ether flow in the conductor requires detailed experi-
mental and theoretical studies. Here we focus only on the general anal-
ysis of this process. Of the variety conductors properties, we discuss
one of the most important – the ability to hold and direct the ether flow.
First of all, we note that the existence of the steady vortex motion
can be provided by a pressure gradient under reduced pressure at its
center (see, for example: [15, p. 299]).
The inner part of a good conductor usually has an ordered (regu-
lar) structure consisting, for example, of atoms. It is natural to assume
that this structure does not impede or even contributes to the vortex
flow of the ether flow (131), appropriate to the electric current. Near
the boundary, the regular structure of the conductor is inevitably dis-
torted. Therefore, it becomes more difficult for the ether to flow di-
rectly on the boundary, at least in the longitudinal direction. In the
ether flow, a boundary (skin) layer appears. If there was no such a
layer, then a significant part of the ether current could have emerged
at the bend of the conductor, which is not observed in the experiment.
Thus, the ability of the conductor to hold and direct the ether flow
can be associated with its internal regular structure and the formation
of the skin layer.
In the general case, the skin layer does not completely isolate the
flow of ether inside the conductor, since outside the conductor there
is a magnetic field, that is, a stream of ether. Moreover, according to
the law of Biot – Savart (100), (101), the magnetic field at a given
point is formed as a contribution from all parts of the conductor, alt-
hough with different weight. In the ether interpretation, a magnetic
field around a conductor arises as a vortex ether flow (20), induced
by a stream of ether with a non-zero rotor of rotor (131) flowing
through a conductor.
If the internal structure of the material accelerates the motion of
the ether inside the conductor while preserving the ether density, then,
in accordance with the equation of state (or Bernoulli's theorem), the
151
pressure of the ether inside the conductor decreases as compared with
the external pressure and the ether flow is compressed on the outside.
An additional effect to the reduced pressure in the vortex appears,
contributing to the confinement of the ether flow inside the conductor.
The alternating electric current differs from the constant one by
presence of the ether flow density dependence of over time.
At the macro level, the atomic or molecular properties of the con-
ductor are described by the dielectric and magnetic permeability of the
medium and its electrical conductivity (see, for example: [28, p. 339]).
Depending on the properties of the material, the externally gener-
ated flow of the ether (110) may be weakened or amplified inside the
conductor. This effect is described by conditions on the surface of the
discontinuity (93)–(96). The current induced in the conductor begins
itself to create a magnetic field that affects the applied field. In partic-
ular, the self-induction effect occurs (see, for example: [28, p. 273]).
The ether interpretation of the electric current flow in the conduc-
tors leads to a very important conclusion. From the ether point of
view, the magnetic and electric fields are derivatives of the ether flow
density (20), (21). Therefore, consideration of only the electromag-
netic field inside the conductor does not take into account the effects
associated with a constant flow of the ether, which can be large, but
does not contribute to the magnetic or electric field due to zero (or
small) spatial derivatives. However, by analogy with gas and hydro-
dynamics, it is natural to assume that, for example, at deceleration of
the spatially isotropic ether flow, noticeable effects should arise.
Methods for generating of vorticities in the continuous medium
are considered, for example, in [17, sec. 6; 23, ch. 5].
The common origin of electric, magnetic and gravitational phe-
nomena disclosed in sec. 15 and other sections of this book, allows us
to hope that technical devices can be created that convert a non-elec-
tromagnetic (for example, constant) flow of the ether into the electro-
magnetic one, which scientists have already learned how to use for
solving practical challenges.

12.1. Currents outside and inside conductors. Ampere's
Laws
Ampere's law determines the force acting from the magnetic field
on the elementary element of current (see, for example: [28, p. 211]).
This law is established empirically. In physics, Ampere's law is ex-
plained equally for free space and for conductors as the motion of
charged particles under the influence of the Lorentz force.
The etheric interpretation of the charged particle motion in the
electromagnetic field under the action of the Lorentz force is given in
sec. 16.1 as a result of the generalized Zhukovsky force influence
from the part of the ether flow on the vorticity around the charged
particle. We show that Ampere's law for the conductors can also be
explained by the appearance of the generalized Zhukovsky force in
the vortex flows of the ether.
We use the results of sec. 11, namely, the formula (120) for the
interaction force of two ether flows. We will show that Ampere's law
is the consequence of the formula (120), and, therefore, the conse-
quence of Newton's second law. Immediately, we note that in deriving
of the formula (120), the presence of a conductor was not assumed.
Therefore, an explanation of Ampere's law for conductors can be
given without the involvement of charged particles. The motion of
charged particles in the conductor, if it occurs, should be considered
as the secondary effect.
Suppose that the conductor number 1 of the volume 𝑇𝑇1 has a ve-
locity field 𝐮𝐮2 , created by the source number 2, which can be anyone,
including a conductor or a magnet (see Fig. 2). Consider the force 𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕1 ,
acting the volume 𝑇𝑇1 , that is, the conductor 1, when creating a velocity
𝐕𝐕1 , in the volume 𝑇𝑇1 . It is assumed that outside 𝑇𝑇1 the velocity 𝐕𝐕1 is
not applied: 𝐕𝐕1 = 0 or low.
According to the formula (120), the force 𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕1 in the absence of
non-potential forces is
153
𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕1 = � 𝐕𝐕1 × �𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮2 )� 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 +
𝑇𝑇1
(132)
1
� 𝜌𝜌 𝐮𝐮 × (𝛁𝛁 × 𝐕𝐕1 ) 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑.
2 𝑇𝑇1 𝑚𝑚 2
154
Taking into account the definition of the magnetic field (20), the
relation 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 = 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝜌𝜌 (see. sec. 1.1 and 20.1) and the vector identity
𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 (𝛁𝛁 × 𝐕𝐕1 ) = 𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐕𝐕1 ) − 𝛁𝛁𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 × 𝐕𝐕1 , the formula (132) can be
written as
𝐁𝐁2
𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕1 = � 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝐕𝐕1 × 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 +
𝑇𝑇1 𝑐𝑐
1 𝐁𝐁1
� 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝐮𝐮2 × � + 𝐕𝐕1 × 𝛁𝛁𝜌𝜌� 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑,
2 𝑇𝑇1 𝑐𝑐
where 𝐁𝐁1 = 𝑐𝑐𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐕𝐕1 ) and 𝐁𝐁2 = 𝑐𝑐𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮2 ) are the magnetic
fields corresponding to the first and second conductors (fig. 2)
If the first conductor has a magnetic permeability 𝜇𝜇1 , other than
unity, then instead of 𝐁𝐁2 in this formula, one must take 𝜇𝜇1 𝐁𝐁2, since
the field 𝐁𝐁2 is considered in this formula inside the first conductor. In
front of 𝐁𝐁1, the multiplier is not required, since 𝐕𝐕1 is the velocity of
the ether inside the first conductor.
In physics, when considering the electric current and the derivation
of Ampere's law, it is postulated that the electric current density is equal
to the flow density of the charged particles 𝐣𝐣 ≡ 𝑁𝑁𝑒𝑒 𝑒𝑒𝐕𝐕, where 𝑁𝑁𝑒𝑒 is the
volume density of the charge carriers, 𝑒𝑒 is the charge (positive or neg-
ative) of one particle (carrier) (see, for example: [28, p. 174, 211]).
In the ether interpretation of Ampere's law, we assume that the
density of the electric current in the conductor in the absence of the
external influence is equal to
under the condition that the Maxwell equation (34) is satisfied for the
velocity 𝐕𝐕1 : 𝛁𝛁 × �|𝐕𝐕1 |2 𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝐕𝐕1 )� = 4𝜋𝜋𝐣𝐣1 . An external influence can
be described in (133) by adding of a velocity source or current.
155
In comparison with the electron-kinetic theory of the electric cur-
rent [28, sec. 42], the constant 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 is interpreted as the charge density
(229), and all the information about a particular material is included
in the flow velocity of the ether 𝐕𝐕1 inside it.
Below it is shown that the model of the current density in the con-
ductor (133) leads to Ampere's laws known from experiment. In ac-
cordance with the methodology of mathematical modeling, this justi-
fies the possibility of the model (133) applying. The same formula is
valid for the ether current density in a gas discharge, see sec. 21.16.
We have
𝐁𝐁2
𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕1 = � 𝐣𝐣1 × 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 +
𝑇𝑇1 𝑐𝑐
(134)
1 𝐁𝐁1 1
� 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝐮𝐮2 × � + 𝐣𝐣 × 𝛁𝛁𝜌𝜌� 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑.
2 𝑇𝑇1 𝑐𝑐 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 1
The force (132) can also occur for the velocity 𝐕𝐕1 , such that
𝛁𝛁 × �|𝐕𝐕1 |2 𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝐕𝐕1 )� = 0. But such a force, according to the ether def-
inition of the electric current, we do not associate with the flow of the elec-
tric current. The following estimate is obtained below, which confirms
the correctness of this approach: it is shown that the ether velocity 𝐕𝐕1
within the region of electric current is “usually” significantly higher than
outside (see formulas (141), (142)). Therefore, the force (132) is deter-
mined namely by the velocity 𝐕𝐕1 within the region of the electric current.
According to the ether definition of the electric current, the term
𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝐮𝐮2 in the formula (134) is the electric current only if Maxwell’s
equation (34) is fulfilled for 𝐮𝐮2 : 𝛁𝛁 × �|𝐮𝐮2 |2 𝛁𝛁 × (𝐮𝐮2 )� = 4𝜋𝜋𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝐮𝐮2 .
This situation occurs, for example, if the first conductor with the cur-
rent is inside the second conductor with the current.
Comparing the formula (134) with Ampere's law (see, for exam-
ple: [28, p. 211]), we conclude that it can be interpreted as an etheric
generalization of Ampere's law.
156
The generalized Ampere law (134) is established on the basis of
the law of the magnetic field moment conservation (conservation of
the ether vortex impulse) obtained in sec. 10. Therefore, the mecha-
nism’s origin of the force acting the electric current 𝐣𝐣1 , is based on the
preventing of the magnetic field 𝐁𝐁2 moment change in the current 𝐣𝐣1
region.
It is also important to emphasize that the law of the magnetic field
moment conservation was obtained in sec. 10 as a consequence of
Newton's second law. Therefore, the law of Ampere is the conse-
quence of the second law of Newton.
We calculate now the force 𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕1 (134) for the conductor 1, having
the shape of the cord 𝐿𝐿 with the small cross section ∆𝑠𝑠. In this case,
the formula (134) takes the form
𝐁𝐁2
𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕1 = � 𝐣𝐣1 ∆𝑠𝑠 × 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 +
𝐿𝐿 𝑐𝑐
(135)
1 𝐁𝐁1 1

2 𝐿𝐿 𝑐𝑐 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 1
where 𝐢𝐢𝐿𝐿 is the unit vector of the tangent to the curve 𝐿𝐿, in which the
electric current flows.
Assuming that 𝐮𝐮2 is bounded at the points of the cord and
𝐁𝐁1 ∆𝑠𝑠 ~ 𝐁𝐁1 𝜋𝜋𝑅𝑅12 → 0 at ∆𝑠𝑠 → 0, where 𝑅𝑅1 is the distance from the cen-
ter of the cord in the transverse direction, we get in the limit
157
𝐁𝐁2 (𝑙𝑙) 1
𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕1 = � 𝐼𝐼1 𝐢𝐢𝐿𝐿 × 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 + � 𝐼𝐼1 𝐮𝐮2 (𝑙𝑙) × ( 𝐢𝐢𝐿𝐿 × 𝛁𝛁𝜌𝜌) 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 . (136)

Hence, for the force 𝑑𝑑𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕1 , acting the element of length 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 of a
thin conductor with the current 𝐼𝐼1 , we obtain the expression
𝐁𝐁2
𝑑𝑑𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕1 = 𝐼𝐼1 𝐢𝐢𝐿𝐿 × 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑,

𝐁𝐁2 = 𝐢𝐢 ,

where (𝑅𝑅2 , 𝜑𝜑2 , 𝑧𝑧2 ) is the cylindrical coordinate system with unit basis
vectors 𝐢𝐢𝑅𝑅2 , 𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑2 , 𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧2 and the axis 𝑧𝑧2 , coinciding with the axis of the
second conductor (see. fig. 2).
From the definition of the magnetic field (20) we have

which makes it possible to calculate 𝐮𝐮2 and then determine 𝜌𝜌: by the
already found above 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮2 :
159
Let us now estimate the velocity 𝐕𝐕1 inside and outside the con-
ductor with the current. The calculation of 𝐕𝐕1 based on the solution of
the initial ether equations (4)–(6) would require a detailed considera-
tion of the internal structure of the conductor, possibly taking into ac-
count non-zero sources (sinks) 𝑞𝑞 and forces 𝐅𝐅, conditioned by the
structure of the conductor material. However, the task is greatly sim-
plified if the current density in the conductor 𝐣𝐣1 is known. According
to the ether definition of the current density 𝐣𝐣1 = 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝐕𝐕1 the velocity
𝐕𝐕1 and density 𝜌𝜌 must satisfy the Maxwell equation in the form (34)
(at each point of the medium, the velocity in the continuous velocity
field is determined by one vector, therefore, namely the velocity 𝐕𝐕1
must be considered in the differential operator in the formula (34))
𝐕𝐕1 = �𝐶𝐶3 𝐽𝐽0 (𝐶𝐶5 𝑅𝑅1 ) + 𝐶𝐶4 𝑌𝑌0 (𝐶𝐶5 𝑅𝑅1 )�𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧1 , (141)
160
4𝜋𝜋𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0
𝜌𝜌 = 2,
𝐶𝐶52 �𝐶𝐶3 𝐽𝐽0 (𝐶𝐶5 𝑅𝑅1 ) + 𝐶𝐶4 𝑌𝑌0 (𝐶𝐶5 𝑅𝑅1 )�
where 𝐽𝐽0 , 𝑌𝑌0 are the Bessel functions of the first and second kind of
zero order, 𝐶𝐶3 , 𝐶𝐶4 , 𝐶𝐶5 are arbitrary constants.
The continuity equation in the case of steady motion and the ab-
sence of a source 𝑞𝑞 = 0 is satisfied for the given vector 𝜌𝜌𝐕𝐕1, since its
third component does not depend on 𝑧𝑧1 .
Thus, the velocity and density of the ether inside the electric cur-
rent vary according to the law (141).
If the first conductor is thin, long and straight, then outside of it,
as in (138), we have
We note that the formula (142) was obtained using the limiting
transition to an infinitely thin conductor and, therefore, is applicable
starting from the some distance from it. Besides, with the growth of
𝑅𝑅1 , the direction of the flow velocity 𝐕𝐕1 can change to the opposite,
which is similar to the Ranque – Hilsch vortex effect [en.wikipe-
dia.org/wiki/Vortex_tube]. See also sec. 12.4.
The constants 𝐶𝐶1 ,…,𝐶𝐶6 should be determined on the basis of ad-
ditional conditions on the boundaries of the conductor and its internal
structure. Other examples of the calculation of currents are given in
sec. 12.4, 23.2.3.
It can be seen that inside the electric current area at small 𝑅𝑅1 , the
velocity 𝐕𝐕1 is significantly higher (the formula (141)) than outside
(the formula (142))), since outside 𝐕𝐕1 behaves like 1/ ln 𝑅𝑅1 . There-
fore, the force (132) is really "usually" determined by the magnitude
of the velocity 𝐕𝐕1 namely within the region of the electric current.

variation law, is successfully used to solve complex practical prob-
lems, for example, plasma equilibrium in magnetic traps [57 or 58,
sec. 1.1] and for electrical currents in the absence of metallic conduc-
tors inside the plasma.
Note that the interpretation of Ampere's law with the help of the
Bernoulli theorem from sec. 14 is difficult due to the conversion of
𝛁𝛁𝑝𝑝 = −𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝛁𝛁(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮2 ) to zero on each of the solutions (138), (141),
(142). The equality of the pressure gradient to zero means the isotropy
in space of the energy density during such motions.
This example shows the possibility of the force appearance (the
generalized force of Zhukovsky, p. 140) in the absence of the pressure
gradient. Besides, the reversal of the pressure gradient to zero on some
solution means that it satisfies both macro level (4)–(6) (at 𝑞𝑞 = 0, 𝐅𝐅 =
0, 𝛱𝛱 = 0), and micro level equations (1)–(3) of the ether.
The etheric understanding of Ampère's law as the interaction of
vortex flows allows us to explain the seeming paradoxical behavior
of two elementary conductors with current located on intersecting
perpendicular straight lines: one conductor acts the second with some
force, and the second does not act the first (see, for example, formu-
las in [32, p. 67; 36, p. 435]). However, the third law of Newton is
not violated in this case, since not the conductor with the conductor
participates in the force interaction, but the ether flow (magnetic
field) created by one of conductors, with the ether flow moving in
another conductor. Newton's third law is fulfilled between the over-
lap region of these flows and the external medium relative to it, and
not between the overlapping flow area and the conductor at a dis-
tance. In the case of zero force and the first conductor of infinitely
small length, the second conductor in the considered example simply
does not create a magnetic field at the location of the first conductor.
If the first conductor is not small, then, according to the formula
(143), a moment of forces arises, but not the force of pulling or push-
ing the conductors off.

Ohm's law. Depending on the sign of 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 , the directions of the current
and the electric field may coincide or be opposite.
In the general case, the electrical conductivity 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 depends on the
gradient of the flow velocity |𝐮𝐮|. This can be interpreted as the de-
pendence of 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 on the electric field 𝐄𝐄 for some media, for example,
for plasma.
Thus, in the etheric interpretation, Ohm's law is a simple logical
consequence of the equation of motion and the equation of state of the
ether, that is, in fact, the consequence of Newton's second law. There-
fore, Ohm’s law (146) is a general law. However, in physics, its linear
approximation is usually considered, when 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 can be considered a
constant [28, p. 183, 184].
The electrical conductivity of the ether and substances is studied
in sec. 21.9.
Experimental confirmation of Ohm's law (146), see, for example:
[28, p. 179, 184], means confirmation of the ether theory.
Using the formula (146), in (144), we find
𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒
𝐣𝐣 = − 𝛁𝛁(𝑝𝑝 + 𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 ). (147)
𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0
165
The relation (147) shows that in the steady state the electric cur-
rent is proportional to the pressure gradient in the ether. The propor-
tionality coefficient is the electrical conductivity 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 , divided by a
constant, having the dimension of the charge density (229).
The pressure 𝑝𝑝 in (147), unlike the pressure 𝑝𝑝 in (242), is caused
by the flow of the ether as a continuous medium with the velocity 𝐮𝐮.
In the general case, the Clapeyron – Mendeleev equation cannot be
used for 𝑝𝑝 in (147), since during the flow of the electric current, the
thermodynamic equilibrium generally does not occur because of
changes in temperature and pressure over time and disturbance of the
insulation of the conductor from the environment.
Consider the power density of the ether flow (16). In the presence
of a source of energy density 𝛱𝛱 = 𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 for the steady flow, the partial
derivative over time in (16) is equal to zero
𝐣𝐣 = 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝐮𝐮.
Then
1
𝑤𝑤 = − 𝐣𝐣 ∙ 𝛁𝛁(𝑝𝑝 + 𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 ) (148)
𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0
or, generalizing the formula (72) in the case of the external source of
energy density 𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 presence,
166
𝑤𝑤 = 𝐣𝐣 ∙ 𝐄𝐄. (149)
Note that this formula, taking into account the expression (17),
can be rewritten as
Substituting (146) into (149), we obtain the Joule – Lenz law [28,
p. 185] in the form

𝑤𝑤 = 𝐣𝐣

or in the form
𝑤𝑤 = 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 𝐄𝐄𝟐𝟐 .

We show that with the velocity of the ether, directed along 𝑧𝑧, de-
pending on its distribution inside the wire 0 ≤ 𝑅𝑅 ≤ 𝑅𝑅0 , different di-
rections of the magnetic field, density of the electric current and dif-
ferent signs of the full current can be obtained.
Consider the case 𝜌𝜌 = 𝜌𝜌0 = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐, 𝐮𝐮 = 𝑢𝑢𝑧𝑧 (𝑅𝑅)𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 . The ether con-
tinuity equation is satisfied for such functions at 𝑞𝑞 = 0. The equation
of the ether motion can be turned into the equality by choosing the
appropriate external force 𝐅𝐅.
Magnetic and electric fields, current density and the full current
are calculated using formulas (20), (21), (34)
where S is the cross section of the wire, the vector 𝑑𝑑𝐬𝐬 is directed along
the 𝑧𝑧 axis.
In the case of 𝜌𝜌 = 𝜌𝜌0 = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐, 𝐮𝐮 = 𝑢𝑢𝑧𝑧 (𝑅𝑅)𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 , the electric field is
absent, 𝐄𝐄 = 0.
If the ether velocity distribution in the wire has a form
𝑅𝑅 2
𝐮𝐮 = 𝑢𝑢𝑧𝑧 (𝑅𝑅)𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 = 𝑢𝑢0 �3 − � � � 𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 ,
𝑅𝑅0
then for 𝑢𝑢0 > 0 the magnetic field is unidirectional with the vector

12.5. Superconductivity
In the sec. 12.1 it is shown that the electric current in the conduc-
tors can be interpreted as a strongly vortical in the sense of (131) the
ether (continuous medium) current. Herewith, the presence of charged
particles in the conductor is not required. If free charged particles are
present in the conductor, then their motion is determined by the inter-
action with the ether flow and in this sense it is a secondary effect.
170
In physics, there is still no comprehensive explanation of the
causes of the superconductivity appearance, especially the high-tem-
perature, which would satisfy the data of all available experiments
(see, for example: [70; 27, p. 469]).
The etheric interpretation of the electric current in conductors al-
lows to give a generally relatively simple interpretation of the super-
conductivity effect: the special structure of the superconductor
weakly prevents or even supports the ether motion along the conduc-
tor as the temperature decreases. As a result, the ether begins to cir-
culate through the superconductor with almost no losses.
Let us briefly review the etheric interpretation of the supercon-
ductivity model proposed by V.A. Chizhov in books [70; 116,] and
developed in collaboration with the authors of the work [117–119].
The model is based on a hypothesis about processes arising on an
ideal crystal lattice defect, called the twinning boundary (MSC-TB).
This model explains all types of the superconductivity by the capture
of electrons by the conduction channels (TB), directed outside the
conductor, by the emission of electrons to the conductor surface with
the formation of near-surface eddy currents and magnetic field. With
the help of MSC-TB, it is possible to explain relatively new experi-
ments on the superconductivity of 1993–2016, as well as to determine
the direction of superconducting materials creation with more effi-
cient characteristics.
The brightest experimental facts observed in superconductivity
include (see, for example [28, p. 320; 70]): pushing of a magnetic
field from a type 1 superconductor to the surface as the temperature
decreases (Meissner – Ochsenfeld effect); an increase in the number
of domains with ring electric currents on the surface of a supercon-
ductor with a decrease in temperature; the Abrikosov whirlwinds.
Domains in the superconductors are similar to domains in a fer-
romagnet [28, p. 325]. The flow of ether occurring in the domain of a
ferromagnet is discussed in sec. 19.1. It is shown that the vortex mo-
tion of the ether occurs around the domain.
171
In accordance with MSC-TB, domains appear on crystal lattice
defects. In the etheric interpretation, the electric current in the domain
is due to the flow of ether, and motion of electrons (if any) in the
domain is a secondary effect.
The component of the magnetic induction vector 𝐁𝐁, normal to the
surface of the superconductor, must be close to zero, since there is no
magnetic field inside the conductor in the superconducting state, and
the normal components of 𝐁𝐁 are continuous at the discontinuity.
Therefore, in the domains, the axes of the ring currents, along which
the magnetic field is directed, must be oriented in the superconductiv-
ity mode along the surface of the superconductor.
Thus, in the superconductivity state, the domains create a vortex
layer of ether near the surface of the conductor. Such a layer facilitates
the flow of the induction current due to its isolation from the surface
of the superconductor, irregularities of which interfere with the flow
of the ether. In practice, in order to further improve the superconduc-
tivity, the conductor is covered with a film, which leads to additional
isolation of the ether flow, including from the environment. Strength-
ening of the ether flow in TB and the domain can be attempted by
using elements with widely differing electronegativity, sec. 21.15.
Increasing of the conductor temperature disrupts the ether flow
in the domains and translates the conductor into the normal phase of
the conduction.
The equations of the ether motion (4)–(6) or (22), (23) give an
effective mathematical tool for the detailed quantitative analysis of
the superconductivity effects and the development of new materials
with a higher transition temperature to the superconducting state and
an increased service life.
In conclusion, we note that superfluidity is closely related to su-
perconductivity, which is manifested in the absence of helium viscos-
ity at a certain temperature (see. [27, p. 469]).

13. Force effect of the ether on an object, caused by the
presence of a pressure gradient
173
𝐑𝐑 = − � 𝑝𝑝𝐧𝐧𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑, (151)
𝑆𝑆
where 𝑝𝑝 is the pressure of the ether, 𝐧𝐧 is the unit normal vector to the
surface 𝑆𝑆, directed outside the volume 𝑉𝑉.
Using the gradient theorem [51, sec. 5.6.1; 55, formula (27)] the
force 𝐑𝐑 can be written through the volume integral
For steady state motion of the ether (partial derivatives over time
turn to zero), the equation of motion (23) with the accounting of the
formula (21) has the form
1 1
� 𝛁𝛁(𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮)2 − 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮 × �𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮)�� = 𝐅𝐅 − 𝛁𝛁𝑝𝑝
𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 2
or
174
Note that if 𝐅𝐅 depends on |𝐮𝐮|: 𝐅𝐅 = 𝐅𝐅(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫, |𝐮𝐮|), then the formula
(154) does not change when 𝐮𝐮 is replaced by – 𝐮𝐮. That is, the magni-
tude and direction of the force 𝐑𝐑 do not change.
In sec. 2 from the equation of motion, the following general ether
representation (25) for the electric and magnetic fields was obtained
𝐮𝐮
𝐄𝐄 + × 𝐁𝐁 = |𝐮𝐮|𝛁𝛁(𝜌𝜌|𝐮𝐮|), (155)
𝑐𝑐
which is also true for non-stationary processes, and in the presence of
external forces in the equation of motion. Representation (155) also
follows from the definitions of 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁. Here 𝜌𝜌 is the ether density in
the electromagnetic units (see sec. 1.1 and 20.1). The left hand side of
(155) is the Lorentz force field (25).
Considering the relation (155), we arrive at another representa-
tion of the formula (153)
175
We will act by analogy with [9, p. 91]. Consider the steady state
motion of the ether (partial derivatives over time are zero) in the field
of the potential forces 𝐅𝐅 = −𝛁𝛁Π, where Π is the potential of the
force 𝐅𝐅 volume density. The equation of motion (23) in this case takes
the form
1 1
� 𝛁𝛁(𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮)2 − 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮 × �𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮)�� = −𝛁𝛁Π − 𝛁𝛁𝑝𝑝. (158)
𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 2
(𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮)2
𝐮𝐮 ∙ 𝛁𝛁 = −𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮 ∙ 𝛁𝛁(Π + 𝑝𝑝),
2
(𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮)2
𝐮𝐮 ∙ �𝛁𝛁 + 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝛁𝛁(𝑝𝑝 + Π)� = 0.
2
In this case
𝑝𝑝+Π
𝛁𝛁 � 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 (𝑝𝑝 + Π)𝑑𝑑(𝑝𝑝 + Π) = 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝛁𝛁(𝑝𝑝 + Π)
𝑝𝑝0 +Π0
and
176
This expression is derivative along the curve 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡): 𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 =
𝐮𝐮, which is the current line. Thus, the ether analogue of the Bernoulli
theorem is fulfilled on the current line
Subtracting from this expression the equation of the ether state (15),
we obtain at the steady motion the conservation on the trajectory of
the ether kinetic energy
177
formula for the Lorentz force field (25) makes it possible to divide the
flows of the ether (not necessarily steady state) into three types: elec-
tric 𝐮𝐮 × 𝐁𝐁/𝑐𝑐 = 0, gravitational 𝐄𝐄 + 𝐮𝐮 × 𝐁𝐁/𝑐𝑐 = 0 and magnetic 𝐄𝐄 =
0. Further, based on the classification of flows, we consider the steady
state motion of an object in a given flow of the ether and study the
interaction of objects.
In this section we assume absence of sources and external forces:
𝑞𝑞 = 0 and 𝐅𝐅 = 0. Internal tension of the ether is characterized by
pressure 𝑝𝑝 (see p. 26).
Note that nonzero 𝑞𝑞 and 𝐅𝐅 can fundamentally change the proper-
ties of the ether flow.

One of the simplest solutions of the first and third equations in
the spherical coordinate system (𝑟𝑟, 𝜃𝜃, 𝜑𝜑) with unit basis vectors 𝐢𝐢𝑟𝑟 , 𝐢𝐢𝜃𝜃 ,
𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 is the vector 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮 = 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 (𝑟𝑟, 𝜃𝜃) 𝑢𝑢𝜑𝜑 (𝑟𝑟, 𝜃𝜃)𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 , such that

𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 (𝑟𝑟, 𝜃𝜃)𝑢𝑢𝜑𝜑 (𝑟𝑟, 𝜃𝜃) = ,
𝑟𝑟 sin 𝜃𝜃
where 𝐶𝐶1 is an arbitrary constant, that is, the flow of the ether, moving
only in the azimuthal direction.
This electrical flow of the ether is studied here only as an illus-
tration. The first and third equations have other solutions, for exam-
ple, with a nonzero radial component of the vector 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮.
It is also important to keep in mind that the electrical flow of the
ether from the macroscopic object can be defined by the aggregate of
the flows from the set of its smaller components. We also note that with
the continuous flow of the weakly compressible medium around the
object, there is no noticeable dragging of the object in the direction of
the flow due to the d’Alembert paradox [26, sec. 100; 15, p. 172, 303].
With this solution we have for the pressure gradient
which, taking into account the second equation of the system (160),
gives
𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 |𝐮𝐮|𝛁𝛁|𝐮𝐮| = 0.
179
This equation means the absence of the velocity gradient in the elec-
tric ether flow of the form 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮 = 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 (𝑟𝑟, 𝜃𝜃)𝑢𝑢𝜑𝜑 (𝑟𝑟, 𝜃𝜃)𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 .

the system (160), (15) corresponds to the ether flow 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮:

16. The force impact of the ether flow on the object
188
It is known that the flow around asymmetric or rotating objects
can be accompanied by the formation of discontinuities, vortices and
boundary layer (see, for example: [8, sec. 107 and 93; 26, sec. 104–
105]). In the presence of such phenomena, the Zhukovsky force (lift
force) can begin to act on an object from the flow (see, for example:
[26, sec. 103–104; 14, sec. 8, 28; 9, sec. 50; ru.wikipedia.org; en.wik-
ipedia.org]). For a rotating object, the Zhukovsky force gives rise to
the so-called Magnus effect [26, sec. 105; 9, p. 177], in which this
object in the oncoming flow deviates in one or another direction.
We emphasize that the Zhukovsky force also acts in the incom-
pressible medium. And this does not contradict the d’Alembert para-
dox, according to which only at steady unseparated flow [15, p. 172]
around an object, the force acting on it from the incompressible fluid
is zero [15, p. 303].
Suppose that a steady state with a boundary layer containing dis-
continuities or vortices has been formed near or inside the object. The
shape of this layer is determined by the geometry, internal structure
and other properties of the object.
Let us study the case when the ether force 𝐅𝐅obj effect on an object
can be represented as the sum of the force 𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕 , resulting from the
preservation of the vortex impulse (see. sec. 11) and the force 𝐑𝐑,
caused by the presence of the pressure gradient (see. sec. 13),
189
Taking into account the equation of state (15) in the absence of
external forces, we have
Next, we consider the force 𝐅𝐅obj in more detail for specific cases,
allowing to simplify the expression for 𝐅𝐅obj , to make estimates and to
make a comparison with experimentally known laws.
We note that the main effect of the appearance of the 𝐅𝐅obj is al-
ready taken into account by the assumption of the presence of a dis-
continuity or a vortex boundary layer and the general form of formula
(170). This allows us to make significant simplifications in the appro-
priate integrand expressions at obtaining approximate estimates with-
out losing the main characteristics of the effects.
In the general case, to calculate the force acting on an object, it is
necessary to construct a numerical solution of the original ether equa-
tions (4)–(6) for 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 and 𝐮𝐮, taking into account the details of the object
structure. At that, as already noted, the force effects can also occur in
the absence of the ether pressure gradient.
Let there be a velocity 𝐮𝐮obj near the object at rest, associated, for
example, with the processes occurring inside it. Let us give the ether
near the object in the region 𝑉𝑉, appearing in (170), the vortexless ve-
locity 𝐕𝐕: 𝛁𝛁 × 𝐕𝐕 ≈ 0. At 𝛁𝛁 × 𝐕𝐕 ≠ 0, the force 𝐅𝐅obj (170) contains ad-
ditional term. This case is considered at the end of this section.
In other words, let the points of the region 𝑉𝑉, containing the ob-
ject, begin to move instantaneously with an additional velocity 𝐕𝐕. Let
190
us assume that the velocity and density of the ether inside the bound-
ary layer are equal to 𝐮𝐮obj + 𝐕𝐕 and 𝜌𝜌obj .
According to formulas (20), (21), for the magnetic and electric
fields in the boundary layer, we have

magnetic one 𝐁𝐁 = 𝑐𝑐𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝐕𝐕) – in the direction transverse to the mo-
tion of the object. Expression (156) allows us to conclude that at Π =
0, the effect of 𝐄𝐄 on the charged object occurs in the direction parallel
to the ether pressure gradient.
The absence of head drag to the ether flow under electromagnetic
action can be explained by the weak compressibility of the ether, lead-
ing to the so-called d’Alembert paradox (see, for example: [26, sec.
100; 15, p. 172, 303; 9]).
The obtained etheric interpretation of the Lorentz force has a
clear mechanical meaning of the generalized Zhukovsky force (170),
in contrast to the commonly used interpretation of the Lorentz force
as a relativistic effect [32, v. 3, p. 72; 28, p. 16]. The main difference
between the Lorentz force (174) and the Zhukovsky force (170) is that
the Lorentz force takes into account the ether flow of a charged object
and acts on the object, and the Zhukovsky force acts on the volume
element of the ether.
The negligibly small effect of 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁 on an uncharged object
can be explained by the specifics of its structure and action, in which
the giving to the region around the object of the velocity 𝐕𝐕 does not
lead to rising of the force (174).
Consider the case 𝛁𝛁 × 𝐕𝐕 ≠ 0. According to (170), an additional
term appears in the integral (172)

Consider a still object 𝑏𝑏 with the characteristic size 𝑟𝑟𝑏𝑏 , located in
the gravitational ether flow 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮: 𝐄𝐄 + 𝐮𝐮 × 𝐁𝐁/𝑐𝑐 = |𝐮𝐮|𝛁𝛁(𝜌𝜌|𝐮𝐮|) ≈ 0
(see. sec. 15.2).
Suppose that near the object in the volume 𝑉𝑉 the boundary vortex
layer is formed and the force 𝐅𝐅obj (169), caused only by the pressure
gradient 𝐅𝐅obj = 𝐑𝐑, acts on the object.
The formula (154) for 𝐑𝐑 at 𝐅𝐅 = 0 and |𝐮𝐮|𝛁𝛁(𝜌𝜌|𝐮𝐮|) ≈ 0 takes the
form
𝐶𝐶1 1
𝑢𝑢𝜑𝜑 = .
𝐶𝐶2 𝑟𝑟 sin 𝜃𝜃
The constant 𝐶𝐶1 is determined from the condition of the 𝑢𝑢𝜑𝜑 equality
to some characteristic velocity 𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 at the distance 𝑟𝑟𝐵𝐵 at 𝜃𝜃 = 𝜋𝜋/2:

In a simplified analysis of the formula (175) , we assume that the char-
acteristic speed of the ether in the boundary layer 𝑢𝑢�0,𝜑𝜑 differs from
the characteristic speed 𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 of the ether flow:
2
𝜆𝜆𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 𝑟𝑟𝐵𝐵
2
𝑢𝑢�0,𝜑𝜑 ≈ , (177)
𝑎𝑎∗
where λ is some factor that describes this difference, and 𝑎𝑎∗ is the
outer boundary of the boundary layer.
Experimental information, the extremely small size of the new-
tonians (234) and the insignificant viscosity of the ether (sec. 21.7)
indicate the high penetrating ability of the ether gravitational flow,
which in classical physics is called the principle of superposition of
gravitational fields (see, for example, [26, p. 323]). For example, in
many gravitational phenomena, not the size of the object is important,
but its mass. Besides, the gravity of the Earth is determined by its
entire mass, and not the mass of a separate part of the Earth nearest to
the object. Apparently, it is the high penetrating ability of the ether
gravitational flow that namely explains the complexity of the experi-
mental study of the gravitational phenomena mechanism.
In the estimate of 𝐑𝐑, we take into account that the ether gravita-
tional flow penetrates into the object, that is, we will integrate around
the whole ball

The formula (178) shows that the gravitational force 𝐑𝐑 of the ob-
ject in the considered ether flow does not depend on the direction of the
flow rotation, determined by the sign of 𝑢𝑢𝜑𝜑,0 , and is always directed to
the center 𝐵𝐵. The force 𝐑𝐑 is perpendicular to the velocity of the ether,
as one would expect for the vortex conditioned the Zhukovsky force.
We introduce the notations
2
4𝜋𝜋 𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 𝑟𝑟𝐵𝐵2
𝑚𝑚𝑏𝑏 ≡ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 𝑎𝑎∗2 𝑟𝑟𝐵𝐵 , 𝑔𝑔 ≡ . (179)
3 𝑟𝑟𝐵𝐵 /𝜆𝜆 𝑟𝑟 2
which coincides with the formula for the force of the material point
of the gravitational mass 𝑚𝑚𝑏𝑏 , located at the distance 𝑟𝑟 from the center
of the gravitational field 𝐵𝐵.
The value of 𝑔𝑔 has the dimension of acceleration or the force per
unit mass. Therefore, it can be interpreted as a force acting on a unit
mass. This interpretation is similar to the interpretation of the Lorentz
force field 𝐄𝐄 + 𝐕𝐕 × 𝐁𝐁/𝑐𝑐 in the formula (174) as the force acting on
the unit charge.
The gravitational mass 𝑚𝑚𝑏𝑏 is introduced here using the mathe-
matical formula. Physically, this formula can be considered as the
etheric interpretation of the gravitational mass of the object. The value
of 𝑚𝑚𝑏𝑏 in the ether representation is determined by the density of the
unperturbed ether 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0, the characteristic dimensions of the boundary
layer 𝑎𝑎∗ and the ether flow 𝑟𝑟𝐵𝐵 .
For the given gravitational mass of the object we have for 𝑎𝑎∗ :
1 3 𝑚𝑚𝑏𝑏
𝑎𝑎∗ = � .
2 𝜋𝜋 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 𝑟𝑟𝐵𝐵
199
Due to the high penetrating capability of the ether gravitational
flow, the boundary layer can be located both outside and inside the
object. Approximate quantitative estimates for the outer boundary of
the gravitational boundary layer 𝑎𝑎∗ are given in sec. 22.2.
The vortex motion of the ether in the object and its surroundings
can arise both as the result of the ether external flow passage through
the structural elements of the object, and as the result of the ether flow
caused by the motion of the structural elements themselves.
Objects of similar shape can have significantly different gravita-
tional mass. Therefore, the vorticities that define the presence of the
boundary layer, apparently, originate, mainly, inside the objects.
The property of the ether to prevent the acceleration of objects is
laid down in the original equation of the ether motion (5), which cor-
responds to the second Newton's law (the law of the motion amount
conservation). From the etheric point of view, the inertial mass of the
object, which manifests itself when trying to change its velocity in the
absence of the external ether flow, can be interpreted as the appear-
ance of a vortex ether stream inside the object, resulting in the appear-
ance of Zhukovsky force. At that, the vortices, as in the presence of
the ether external gravitational flow, are defined mainly by the inter-
nal structure of the object. These considerations can be viewed as an
etheric interpretation of the gravitational and inertial masses equiva-
lence principle and the principle of gravitational forces and inertial
forces equivalence, described, for example, in [26, p. 392, 399].
At high speed of the ether motion �𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 � the gravitational force
acting the object, which moves at a much lower speed, is defined by
the ether speed �𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 �, and not by the speed of the object. That is, in
this case, the velocity of the object in formulas (154), (175) can be
neglected.
In the formula (175) the ether velocity 𝐮𝐮 relative to the object
figures. When the object reaches the ether flow velocity 𝑢𝑢𝜑𝜑,0 𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 , the
200
relative velocity of the object becomes equal to zero and the Zhu-
kovsky force ceases to act 𝐑𝐑 = 0. Further, the object, according to the
first Newton's law, begins to move over a straight line. At this, its
velocity relative to the flow of the ether again becomes non-zero, and
the Zhukovsky force reappears, turning the trajectory. A regular pro-
cess arises, similar to the process of vortex separation from the trailing
edge of the wing (see, for example: [26, p. 539]).
The absence of the head drag to the ether flow under gravitational
effects can be explained by weak compressibility of the ether, leading
to the so-called d’Alembert paradox (see, for example: [26, sec. 100;
15, p. 172, 303; 9]).
The exact calculation of the gravity force requires the calculation
of the integral (152) based on the solution of the ether original equa-
tions of motion (4)–(6) for the studied system of objects with accurate
setting of the boundary and initial conditions, taking into account the
details of the internal structure of the objects. However, the estimate
(178) already allows one to draw fundamental conclusions.
From the formula (178) it follows that if a rotating flow with a
density 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 ≈ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 𝑟𝑟/𝑟𝑟𝐵𝐵 and velocity 𝐮𝐮 ≈ 𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 𝑟𝑟𝐵𝐵 𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 /𝑟𝑟 arose in the
ether, then all objects capable of gravitating, that is, for which the ap-
propriate vortex boundary layer is formed (leading to the appearance
of the force (178)), begin, depending on their speed, to rotate in this
flow or move towards its center. This picture corresponds to many
astronomical observations. For example, the growth of the Earth mass
[71]. This phenomenon is discussed in more detail in sec. 25.
The estimate (178) leads to another important conclusion: the
gravitational interaction of objects is takes place at distances of the
order of the sizes of their boundary layers, which can significantly
differ from the sizes of the objects themselves in both the smaller and
larger way. This may explain some seemingly paradoxical, at first
glance, astronomical phenomena [80].
It is interesting to consider the stability of the planetary and stellar
systems motion, taking into account the ether mechanisms, including
201
an explanation of the concentration of planets and stars near a certain
plane, as well as the laws of the distribution of planets along the radius.
The formula (169) shows the unity of the origin of the electro-
magnetic and gravitational forces as the result of the ether motion.
Based on this, and also taking into account the significant speed of the
ether around the Earth (sec. 22.2), it is natural to set the problem of
studying the possibility of creating technical devices that convert the
gravitational motion of the ether near the Earth into electromagnetic
for practical use.
In sec. 3, Coulomb's law in the form of the formula (68) was ob-
tained on the basis of the Gauss electrostatic theorem, which follows
from the ether definitions of the electric field 𝐄𝐄 (21) and charge den-
sity 𝜎𝜎 (28). Here we obtain the Coulomb law for two objects pos-
sessing charges 𝑞𝑞1 and 𝑞𝑞2 , and show its force nature.
Place the object with a trial charge 𝑞𝑞2 at the distance 𝑟𝑟 from the
object with the charge 𝑞𝑞1 . Substituting the expression (68) for 𝑞𝑞1 into
(174) at 𝐁𝐁 = 0, we obtain the force acting on the object with the
charge 𝑞𝑞2 from the the field 𝐄𝐄1 of the object with the charge 𝑞𝑞1
𝑞𝑞1 𝑞𝑞2
𝐅𝐅12 = 𝐢𝐢 ,
𝑟𝑟 2 12
where 𝐢𝐢12 is the unit vector drawn from the 𝑞𝑞1 object to the 𝑞𝑞2 object.
202
Having changed the charges 𝑞𝑞1 and 𝑞𝑞2 with roles, we similarly find
𝑞𝑞2 𝑞𝑞1
𝐅𝐅21 = 𝐢𝐢 .
𝑟𝑟 2 21
Formulas for 𝐅𝐅12 and 𝐅𝐅21 can be written in the conventional form
of Coulomb's law
𝑞𝑞𝑖𝑖 𝑞𝑞𝑘𝑘
𝐅𝐅𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 = 𝐢𝐢 , (181)
𝑟𝑟 2 𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖
where 𝐅𝐅𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 is the force acting from the object with the charge 𝑞𝑞𝑖𝑖 on the
object with the charge 𝑞𝑞𝑘𝑘 , 𝐢𝐢𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 is the unit vector drawn from the object
𝑞𝑞𝑖𝑖 to the object 𝑞𝑞𝑘𝑘 , 𝑟𝑟 is the distance between them.
The choice of a specific representation for the charge value may
be different, since in the experiment the force is measured relative to
the charge taken as unit (see, for example [28, p. 17]). For example,
the charge 𝑞𝑞2 can be measured in fractions of the charge 𝑞𝑞1 . The use
of etheric definitions (20), (21) for magnetic and electric fields leads
to the Coulomb law representation in the system of CGS units.
In the classical electrostatics, the Coulomb law is considered as a
generalization of experimental facts. In the etheric interpretation, the
Coulomb's law is due to the appearance of the Zhukovsky force in
some ether flow associated with the charged object (see. sec. 16.1).
203
Here 𝑟𝑟12 is the distance from the center of the ether gravitational flow
to the mass 𝑚𝑚2 , 𝐢𝐢12 is the unit vector directed from the center of the
gravitational flow to the center of mass 𝑚𝑚2 , the constant 𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 is the
characteristic azimuthal speed of rotation of the gravitational flow,
created by object 𝑚𝑚2 near object 𝑚𝑚1 .
Let us relate the ether gravitational flow to the mass 𝑚𝑚1 , using
2
known expression 𝑔𝑔𝑟𝑟12 = 𝐺𝐺𝑚𝑚1 , which follows from the experiments
on measuring the gravity of one object in the field of another 𝑚𝑚2 𝑔𝑔 =
2
𝐺𝐺𝑚𝑚1 𝑚𝑚2 /𝑟𝑟12 , where 𝐺𝐺 is the gravitational constant: 𝐺𝐺 = 6.6726 ∙
2 2 2
10 [din cm2 /g 2 ]. Substitute 𝑔𝑔𝑟𝑟12
−8
= 𝜆𝜆𝑟𝑟𝐵𝐵 𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 (182) in 𝑔𝑔𝑟𝑟12 = 𝐺𝐺𝑚𝑚1 :
2
𝜆𝜆𝑟𝑟𝐵𝐵 𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 = 𝐺𝐺𝑚𝑚1 . (183)
This associates the mass 𝑚𝑚1 with the constant 𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 , which defines the
magnitude of the ether flow.
Using (183) in (182) we come to the universal law of gravity
2
𝜆𝜆𝑟𝑟𝐵𝐵 𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 𝑚𝑚1 𝑚𝑚2
𝐑𝐑12 = 𝑚𝑚2 𝑔𝑔𝐢𝐢12 = 𝑚𝑚2 2 𝐢𝐢12 = 𝐺𝐺 2 𝐢𝐢12 . (184)
𝑟𝑟12 𝑟𝑟12
Note that the choice of representation for the mass 𝑚𝑚1 is defined
by the system of measurement units [26, p. 392], since the experiment
measures the force of the action of one mass with respect to another.
For example, the mass 𝑚𝑚1 could be measured in fractions of the mass
𝑚𝑚2 . The use of the formula (183) for 𝑚𝑚1 leads to the generally ac-
cepted notation for the universal gravitation law (184) with the meas-
urement of the mass 𝑚𝑚1 in the system of CGS units.
The values of 𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 and 𝜆𝜆 for the Earth are estimated at the end of
sec. 22.2.
The considered etheric interpretation of the gravitational law has
a clear mechanical explanation, consisting in the emergence of the
204
Zhukovsky force in the ether flow created by the mass. Note that be-
fore the results presented here, according to [26, p. 326], there were
no clear physical interpretations of the gravitational attraction, includ-
ing in the general theory of relativity.
Nevertheless, the obtained formula (184) may not be applicable
to global processes at the planetary and galactic levels, since, for ex-
ample, it cannot be claimed that conditions (162), (163) are neces-
sarily fulfilled on such scales. Therefore, it is impossible to absolutize
the universal gravitational law.
In the general case, to calculate the gravity force, it is necessary
to solve equations (4)–(6) with the appropriate boundary and initial
conditions.
205
its ends or at some section by influence, for example, application of
an electric field (see formula (72)) or emf (see sec. 9, 18.11). The in-
fluence of the wire material structural elements in combination with
the external effect leads to a swirl of the ether flow. An electric current
occurs in the wire.
The flow of the electric current in the circuit is accompanied by
the voltage drop of the electric field voltage.
In [42, 43], it was shown that for steady state ether flow in the
wire, the integral of 𝐄𝐄 = −𝛁𝛁(𝑈𝑈𝐅𝐅 + 𝑝𝑝)/𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 along the length of the
wire 𝑙𝑙 allows associating the voltage drop 𝑈𝑈, which is equal to the
potential difference 𝜑𝜑 of the electric field 𝐄𝐄 = −𝛁𝛁𝜑𝜑 at the ends of the
wire 𝑙𝑙1 and 𝑙𝑙2 , with the difference in pressure 𝑝𝑝 of the ether flow at
these ends.
Find the relationship between the voltage drop of the electric field
𝑈𝑈 and the pressure drop of the ether in the general case.
On one hand,
𝑙𝑙2 𝑙𝑙2
𝑈𝑈 ≡ � 𝐄𝐄 ∙ 𝑑𝑑𝐥𝐥 = − � 𝛁𝛁𝜑𝜑 ∙ 𝑑𝑑𝐥𝐥 = −(𝜑𝜑2 − 𝜑𝜑1 ).
𝑙𝑙1 𝑙𝑙1
206
Thus, the voltage drop, equal to the potential difference at the ends of
the wire, is defined by the difference between the pressures of the
ether flow 𝑝𝑝 and the potentials of external forces 𝑈𝑈𝐅𝐅 at these ends.
𝑊𝑊 = 𝑈𝑈𝐼𝐼total . (185)

Consider along the flow direction of the ether 𝐢𝐢𝑙𝑙 = 𝐮𝐮/|𝐮𝐮| a cylin-
drical region with a cross section of 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 and a height of 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑. Suppose
that in this region the vector 𝛁𝛁𝑝𝑝Σ is directed opposite to the vector 𝐢𝐢𝑙𝑙 .

Denoting the total current 𝐼𝐼total = 𝑗𝑗𝑗𝑗𝑗𝑗, we get

We integrate 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 over 𝑑𝑑𝑝𝑝Σ on the line segment [𝑝𝑝Σ,1 , 𝑝𝑝Σ,2 ], as-
suming the constancy of 𝐼𝐼total ,
𝑝𝑝Σ,2 − 𝑝𝑝Σ,1
𝑊𝑊2 − 𝑊𝑊1 = 𝐼𝐼total .
𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0
Denote 𝑊𝑊 ≡ 𝑊𝑊1 − 𝑊𝑊2 and take into account the relation of the
pressure of the ether with the electric voltage (75), generalized for the
case of the source presence. We come to the formula (185) for the
power of the circuit section
208

𝑑𝑑(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮) 𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕𝐮𝐮
= + 𝐄𝐄.
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕
This formula also follows directly from the definitions of the full de-
rivative 𝑑𝑑/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 and the electric field (21).
For steady state ether flow 𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕𝐮𝐮/𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕 = 0
𝑑𝑑(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮)
= 𝐄𝐄.
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
Multiply this expression scalarly by 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮 and bring the result to the
form
1 𝑑𝑑(𝜌𝜌2 𝐮𝐮2 )
= 𝐮𝐮 ∙ 𝐄𝐄.
2𝜌𝜌 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
Here, in the left hand side, up to the constant factor 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 , the en-
ergy per unit volume stands, which is carried by the ether per unit
time, see (150). This expression allows us to interpret the formula
(187) as follows. If we assume that the electron moves in the interval
𝑙𝑙 with the speed given to it by the ether flow 𝑣𝑣 = |𝐮𝐮|, then 𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑉𝑉𝑙𝑙 𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 is
209
the power transferred by the ether flow to the number of particles
𝑉𝑉𝑙𝑙 𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 , and the factor 𝑒𝑒 is some dimensional constant for conversion of
mechanical quantities into electrical ones.
It should be noted that the introduction of the velocity of the
charged particles directed motion, their concentration and coupling
with the current strength (186) historically follows from electrochem-
ical experiments in which charge carriers were recorded in measure-
ments, but the real cause of their movement was not determined. In
the case of wires through which current flows, the use of the formula
(187) is not confirmed by direct experiments. On the contrary, exper-
iments with the explosion of wires (sec. 18.10) and other information
and experiments (sec. 12.2, 12.3, 21.11, 23.2.1, 23.2.2, 23.3, 23.6.1,
23.6.2, 23.9.1, 23.9.2, 23.9.5) show that electrons are not the main
energy carrier of the electric current.
Thus, the power released in the circuit is primarily due to the
ether flow, which, in the presence of charged particles, can set them
in motion.

In sec. 12.2, the general formula (145) for the electrical conduc-
tivity 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 was obtained. In this section we consider the etheric inter-
pretation of the resistance 𝑅𝑅 and another representation of the specific
resistance 𝑅𝑅0 = 1/𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 of the circuit section.
The voltage in the wire circuit on the segment [𝑙𝑙1 , 𝑙𝑙2 ] is defined as

The total current through the cross section of the wire 𝑆𝑆 is equal
to the integral of the current density (34), which, with accounting of
the etheric definition of the magnetic field (20), has the form

One can see that in this case the resistance in the wire is deter-
mined by the gradient of the kinetic energy and the vorticity of the
ether flow in it. In typical cases, at an increase of the ether flow vor-
ticity, the resistivity 𝑅𝑅0 decreases, and at an increase in the gradient
of its kinetic energy, it increases. Thus, depending on the nature of the
ether flow in a conductor, both superconductivity �𝛁𝛁𝐮𝐮2 /2 −
𝐮𝐮 × (𝛁𝛁 × 𝐮𝐮)�𝐢𝐢𝐿𝐿 = 0, and dielectric properties can be observed. At that
the resistance of the conductor is determined by the characteristics of
the ether flow in it, and the possible motion of electrons or other
charge carriers is the secondary effect conditioned by the ether flow.
In confirmation of this conclusion, let us analyze the experi-
mental fact: the effect of superconductivity disappears as the current
increases with increasing of the electric field strength. From the
etheric point of view, this observation has a simple explanation. With
increasing of the electric field, the magnitude of the ether velocity
gradient increases. The increased flow of the ether begins to heat the
conductor (including entraining and accelerating free electrons, if
any). The increase in thermal motion of the structural elements of the
conductor prevents the motion of the ether flow, which leads to the
disappearance of the superconductivity effect.
The introduction of the resistivity 𝑅𝑅0 for the electrochemical cur-
rent and for the current in the wires allows to compare these re-
sistances. The resistivity of the electrochemical cell and the gas dis-
charge is determined by the frequency of charged particles collision
with particles of the ether medium, and the resistivity of the wire is a
feature of the ether motion in it.

By the formula (107) on the left side of the equation (192) we have
In the segment with the resistance, we use the formula (188), re-
lating the electric current 𝐼𝐼total , the resistance 𝑅𝑅 and the voltage drop

𝐼𝐼total (𝑡𝑡) = − ,

Substituting the formulas for ℰ𝑘𝑘 (𝑡𝑡), 𝑘𝑘 = 2,3,4 into the equality
(192), we obtain the well-known equation for the current in the closed
circuit of the constant form taking into account the inductance, the
resistance and the capacitance (see, for example: [28, p. 273] and the
formula (122.2) in [28, p. 514])
220
We write the equation (193)in terms of the charge 𝑞𝑞𝜎𝜎 , defined by
the expression (66). Take from (66) the full time derivative at a fixed
volume 𝑉𝑉 of the capacitor plate and use the equality (31)
The minus sign means that the current flows into the capacitor plate,
since the vector 𝑑𝑑𝐬𝐬 is directed along the external to the 𝑉𝑉 normal.
Then
𝑑𝑑𝑞𝑞𝜎𝜎 (𝑡𝑡)
= 𝐼𝐼total (𝑡𝑡) (194)
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
and the equation (193) transforms into the equation for charge
221
Section 8, 18.4, 18.5 show that all quantities in the left hand side
of the formula (193) or (195), are expressed in terms of the density 𝜌𝜌,
velocity 𝐮𝐮 of the ether, and the geometry of the conductor compo-
nents. Therefore, when describing an electric current in a circuit, it is
not required to involve any information about electrically charged
particles, despite the fact that equations (193), (195) include the
charge. In the etheric interpretation, the charge (66) is associated with
the flow of the ether, and the presence of charge carriers, for example,
elementary particles, is not necessary.
From the method of obtaining formulas (193), (195) we conclude
that the oscillating circuit equation (the current equation in the closed
circuit) is the logical consequence of the ether momentum conserva-
tion law (Newton's second law).
Understanding of the processes in the electrical circuit as the flow
of the ether through its various elements provides a visual representa-
tion of the mechanism of energy transfer along the circuit with discon-
tinuities, such as capacitors or electrodes. Herewith, the movement of
charged particles in the chain is not excluded, but is a secondary effect.

Consider the closed contour 𝐿𝐿, in which a current 𝐼𝐼1 flows. Let
this contour be in the magnetic field 𝐁𝐁2 . According to the formula

Denote by 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑|𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫| the surface element that appears when the
contour element is displaced. The direction of the vector 𝑑𝑑𝐬𝐬 is chosen
perpendicular to both the vector 𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫 and the vector 𝐢𝐢𝐿𝐿 :
Then

The flux Φ2 does not depend on the choice of the surface 𝑆𝑆 (see
sec. 8). Therefore, the energy𝔸𝔸12 does not depend on 𝑆𝑆. Thus, 𝔸𝔸12 is
some common characteristic, which does not depend on the surface
𝑆𝑆, of the circuit 𝐿𝐿 with the current 𝐼𝐼1 in the magnetic field 𝐁𝐁2 .
In electrical engineering, the formula (197) is called the magnetic
energy of the circuit (see, for example: [28, sec. 69]).
Let us now calculate the energy density 𝒜𝒜12 of the element 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 of
the contour 𝐿𝐿.
Consider the element 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 of the closed contour 𝐿𝐿 with the cross
section ∆𝑠𝑠. According to the main term in the formula (135), the fol-
lowing force acts on it
𝐁𝐁2
𝑑𝑑𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕1 = ∆𝑠𝑠 𝐣𝐣1,total × 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑.

Let, under the action of a given force 𝑑𝑑𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕1 , the contour element

The convenience of introducing 𝑑𝑑𝒜𝒜12 is that this quantity does not
depend on the cross-section area ∆𝑠𝑠 and the length 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 of the contour
element.

From the formula (198) it follows that the direction of the field
𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 ≡ 𝐁𝐁1 /|𝐁𝐁1 | of the conductor small element is perpendicular to the

The initial position is marked by the dashed line.
Then
228
It can be seen that the contribution to the energy density is made only
by the displacement of the elementary part of the circuit along the 𝑥𝑥
axis, that is, in the direction perpendicular to both the current density
and the magnetic field.
We integrate over the displacement on the segment [𝑥𝑥 ′ , 𝑥𝑥 ′′ ] and
obtain the increment of the magnetic energy density in the circuit
when its element is displaced from the point 𝑥𝑥 ′ to the point 𝑥𝑥 ′′
𝜇𝜇
𝒜𝒜11 (𝑡𝑡, 𝑥𝑥′′, 𝑧𝑧) − 𝒜𝒜11 (𝑡𝑡, 𝑥𝑥′, 𝑧𝑧) = �𝐵𝐵 2 (𝑡𝑡, 𝑥𝑥′′, 𝑧𝑧) − 𝐵𝐵12 (𝑡𝑡, 𝑥𝑥′, 𝑧𝑧)�.
8𝜋𝜋 1
In the case when at the point 𝑥𝑥′, before the displacement of the
conductor element, the field 𝐵𝐵1 and the energy density 𝒜𝒜11 were ab-
sent, we have
𝜇𝜇 2
𝒜𝒜11 (𝑡𝑡, 𝑥𝑥′′, 𝑧𝑧) = 𝐵𝐵 (𝑡𝑡, 𝑥𝑥′′, 𝑧𝑧). (199)
8𝜋𝜋 1
Here 𝒜𝒜11 (𝑡𝑡, 𝑥𝑥′′, 𝑧𝑧) is the energy density resulting from the instanta-
neous motion of the conductor element with the instantaneous switch-
ing on of the current. Note that this energy density 𝒜𝒜11 (𝑡𝑡, 𝑥𝑥′′, 𝑧𝑧) is
independent from which point 𝑥𝑥′ the contour element is displaced, and
therefore 𝒜𝒜11 (𝑡𝑡, 𝑥𝑥′′, 𝑧𝑧) is some common characteristic of the contour.
As has been repeatedly noted, the study of the instantaneous ap-
pearance of a certain quantity is a common technique for the contin-
uous media mechanics (see, for example: [17, sec. 3.3, 3.7, 4.1; 16, p.
636]). This approach eliminates the need to take into account the pre-
vious state of the media.
The etheric interpretation of the current in the circuit allowed in-
troducing the magnetic energy of the circuit and the density of mag-
netic energy in the circuit not as the consequence of some postulate
[28, p. 346] or generalizations of experiments, but as the conse-
quences of Newton's second law and also to establish the mechanical
229
content of these quantities as the work or the density of work on the
creation and motion of vortices in the continuous medium. The con-
ductor is used as a container that holds the vortex.
In the etheric sense, the magnetic energy of the circuit is associ-
ated with the vortex, and the electric energy of the circuit – with the
vortex-free motion of the ether (see sec.18.7).
In the general case, the energy density of the ether is expressed
by the formula (83). The formulas for energy and energy density, ob-
tained in sec.18.7 and 18.8, describe the energetics of the particular
technical system, namely, wires with the current.

Newton's second law. Therefore, the most general expression for the
power density of the circuit in terms of fields and the current is found
by converting of (16) to the form containing the vectors 𝐄𝐄, 𝐁𝐁, 𝐣𝐣. Such
an expression is obtained in sec. 5.1, see formula (85). Let’s take into
account in (85) the specificity of the ether flow in the electric circuit
wire and compare it with the formula (200), accepted in physics as an
axiom.
Substitute in (85) the ether representation for the current density

231
It can be seen that in the general case, the formula (200) differs
from the formulas (201)–(203). The coincidence of 𝑤𝑤 � and 𝑤𝑤 can be
achieved only by special selection of the the external force 𝐅𝐅 density
or the energy density of external sources 𝛱𝛱.
From the etheric point of view, the reason for the difference be-
tween 𝑤𝑤 � and 𝑤𝑤 is that the postulate (200) does not take into account
the interrelation of 𝐄𝐄, 𝐁𝐁, 𝐣𝐣 as characteristics of one process – the mo-
tion of the ether.
The direction of the energy density motion in the ether is de-
scribed by the vector potential (sec. 2.3). In physics, the motion of the
electromagnetic energy is characterized by the vector of the flux den-
sity of the electromagnetic energy 𝐒𝐒 = 𝐄𝐄 × 𝐁𝐁, which is called the
Umov – Poynting vector [32, p. 397; 28, p. 348]. The interpretation
of 𝐒𝐒 is given on the basis of the coincidence of the appearance of the
formula obtained by using the Maxwell equations in the axiom (200)
with the continuity equation of continuous media mechanics [28, p.
347]. In the etheric interpretation of nature, the formula (200) is not
general. Therefore, the vector 𝐒𝐒 does not reveal the essence of the
general laws. For example, the interpretation of the electromagnetic
energy using 𝐒𝐒 leads to the conclusion that it flows into the wire from
the surrounding space through the side surface [32, p. 398]. At that,
the question remains unanswered about the cause of the appearance
of the electromagnetic energy near the surface of the wire and the
mechanism of its propagation along this surface.
232
According to the existing concepts of the electric current, the cur-
rent in the wire is described by the formula (186), which does not
allow understanding the mechanisms of processes in conductors, that
are especially pronounced when wires explode.
So, in the experiment [95] an explosion of copper wires 10 −
11 [mm] in length and 0.25 [mm] in diameter occurred during 550 −
555 [ns] at the current in the circuit 10 [kA] and the voltage on the
circuit 𝑈𝑈 = 20 [kV]. Using (186) and the electron concentration in
copper 2.8 ∙ 1028 [1/m3 ], we obtain 𝑤𝑤 = 4.5 ∙ 104 [mm/s] for the
directed electron velocity. This means that the charge carriers could
cover a distance of only 0.025 [mm] in the wire, which is substan-
tially smaller than the length of the wire.
If, as it is considered in physics, all the energy of the electric cur-
rent was transferred by charged particles, then the wire would have to
explode at a length of 0.025 [mm]. However, observations show that
the wire during the time 550 − 555 [ns] explodes along its entire
length. This means that the inputted energy in these experiments is
transferred, mostly by not charged particles, but by the stream of the
ether.
According to the measurements in the experiments with the ex-
plosion of wires in vacuum [95], it is possible to estimate the velocity
of the ether and its pressure inside the wire. The numerical values of
these quantities allow to draw important conclusions.
According to the representation (84), the creation in the wire of
the electromagnetic field means the creation in it of a velocity and
gradients of pressure and density of the ether.
We assume that almost all the ether energy density 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ 𝑢𝑢∗2 (12),
created in the wire, where the asterisk denotes characteristic values of
quantities, goes to break bonds in the metal: sublimation or atomiza-
tion, in which the solid phase immediately transmits into gaseous, by-
passing the liquid state. The sublimation energy of copper is 𝑄𝑄Cu ≈
5.6 ∙ 106 [J/kg] [120, p. 304]. From the equality of the transmitted en-
ergy density of the ether and the energy density spent on the explosion
233
𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ 𝑢𝑢∗2 = 𝜌𝜌Cu 𝑄𝑄Cu ,
taking for the density of the ether 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 ≈ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 ≈ 2 ∙ 10−6 [kg/m3 ]
(228), we find that the characteristic speed of the ether in the copper
wire with density 𝜌𝜌Cu ≈ 8.32 ∙ 103 [kg/m 3 ] [120, p. 304] is of the
order of the speed of light: 𝑢𝑢∗ ≈ 1.5 ∙ 108 [m/s]. This result corre-
sponds to the well-known experimental facts, showing the high ve-
locity of the electric current propagation in the wire.
According to the ether state equation (15), the characteristic en-
ergy density 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ 𝑢𝑢∗2 , in the case 𝛱𝛱 = 0 and absence of deviations from
the characteristic state |𝐮𝐮| = 0, is equal to the pressure of the ether 𝑝𝑝.
Then 𝑝𝑝Cu ≡ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ 𝑢𝑢∗2 = 𝜌𝜌Cu 𝑄𝑄Cu ≈ 4.7 ∙ 1010 [Pa] is the pressure of the
ether created in the wire. It is close to the threshold, starting from
which the process has an explosive character. The sublimation pres-
sure 𝑝𝑝Cu gives the lower estimate for the energy density required for
the explosion of the wire, since some more energy is required to give
the speed to the structural elements of copper.
The value of 𝑝𝑝Cu is by the order of magnitude close to the pres-
sure of the unperturbed ether 𝑝𝑝0 ≈ 1.1 ∙ 1011 [Pa] (230). That is, the
destruction of the wire occurs when the pressure of the ether inside it
approaches the pressure of the ether outside the wire.
The pressure of the ether that occurs in the material can be esti-
mated in another way. The results of sec. 18.2 give the following for-
mula for the current energy density at a small period of time 𝑡𝑡

𝜋𝜋𝑑𝑑 2 /4, 𝑑𝑑 = 0.25 ∙ 10−3 [m], 𝑙𝑙 = 11 ∙ 10−3 [m], 𝑡𝑡 = 550 ∙ 10−9 [s],
we have the ether pressure 𝑝𝑝ex ≈ 2 ∙ 1011 [Pa ]. By the order of mag-
nitude, 𝑝𝑝ex is close to the pressure of the unperturbed ether 𝑝𝑝0 (230).
The excess of 𝑝𝑝ex values 𝑝𝑝0 in typical experiments is explained by the
need of having an additional to 𝑝𝑝Cu energy density for delivering a
velocity to the elements of the material.
The explosion of wires often occurs in the form of stratas perpen-
dicular to the wire with pronounced concentrations of wire material in
the form of pancakes, see the presentation of V.M. Romanova of 02.
03.2016 on the website [шаровая-молния.орг; ball-lightning.org].
Withal stratas appear during time when the electric current is no longer
in the wire. This may mean that before the explosion a standing wave
of the ether is formed in the wire and the strongest expansion of the
material occurs in the antinode region of the standing wave. The stand-
ing wave is likely to be longitudinal, since the pancake has a shape
close to axisymmetric, and the stratas can expand, but practically do
not move along the conductor. The role of etheric standing waves in
electrical devices is also discussed at the end of sec. 24.4.
Let us now analyze the experimental data obtained in the study
of explosive electron emission [122]. Such emission is created by ap-
plying of the high voltage pulse with a duration smaller than 10−7 [s]
at the tungsten emitter. At that one gets the current density of
about 108 [A/cm2 ]. Using emitters with different vertex radii and
changing the amplitude of the voltage pulse, it was managed to find
the relationship between the pre-explosion (critical) current density
and the delay time of the tip explosion 𝑡𝑡ex [122]. As the electric field
strength 𝐸𝐸 increased from 7 ∙ 107 to 1.3 ∙ 108 [V/cm], the critical cur-
rent density 𝑗𝑗 increased from 4.5 ∙ 107 to 2.2 ∙ 109 [A/cm2 ]. The de-
lay time before the explosion of the tip 𝑡𝑡ex was not measured, but
estimated. The estimate showed the decrease of 𝑡𝑡ex from ~10−9
to ~10−11 [s].
The current energy density created before the explosion of an
emitter can be calculated by the formula (see sec. 18.2)
235
𝑝𝑝ex = 𝑗𝑗𝑗𝑗𝑡𝑡ex .
From here we obtain that before the explosion, the energy density 𝑝𝑝ex
was ~3 ∙ 1012 [Pa].
We again use the etheric interpretation of the occurrence of the
current energy density as the creation of the ether energy density
𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ 𝑢𝑢∗2 (12), which according to (15) means the ether pressure crea-
tion 𝑝𝑝 = 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ 𝑢𝑢∗2 . We obtain, as in the case of the wires explosion, that
the emitter explosion occurs when the pressure 𝑝𝑝ex in it exceeds the
pressure of the unperturbed ether 𝑝𝑝0 . The need for overpressure is as-
sociated with the delivery of the velocity to the charged particles, and
also, perhaps, with overcoming the surface energy effects, determined
by the material and shape of the tip.
Thus, the destruction of materials in the considered experiments
occurs when the ether pressure in them approaches the external pres-
sure of the ether 𝑝𝑝0 (230) or exceeds 𝑝𝑝0 . This result, as well as the
Casimir effect (sec. 21.13), allows us to conclude that it is the differ-
ence between the external and internal pressure of the ether that de-
termines the phase state of the substance: solid, liquid, gaseous. Esti-
mates of the ether pressure within the solid and liquid phases of vari-
ous materials are given in sec. 21.12.
The reasoning above and the estimates obtained are based on the
analysis of the characteristic state of the samples before the explosion.
A detailed theoretical study of the processes occurring in the explo-
sion of wires and emitters requires solving the ether equations (4)–(6)
with some initial and boundary conditions.
Note that if we take the etheric interpretation of the solid phase
of the substance as the postulate of compression it by the ether instead
of deriving this interpretation from experiments, then similarity by the
order of magnitude of the pressure inside the wire and the emitter be-
fore the explosion to the estimate of the ether unperturbed pressure
236
(230), obtained in sec. 21.1 on the basis of completely different con-
siderations, allows to be considered as confirmation of the correctness
of the approximate estimate (230).

pressure, expressed from (84), is the increment of the pressure of the

This allows us to give a physical interpretation of the "magnetic" term
in the electromagnetic induction law (109) as a result of the general-
ized Zhukovsky force action.
However, the physical conditions of applicability of formulas
(206) and (109), generally speaking, are different. In deriving of the
formula (109), it was assumed that the contour is closed. The mag-
netic flux was considered specifically through the closed contour. In
the formula (206), the 𝐿𝐿 curve is not necessarily closed, and the mag-
netic flux is not even considered.
The difference in the conditions of applicability leads, generally
speaking, to the difference in the emf induction ℰ (109) and emf of
Zhukovsky ℰЖ (206). Let's give an example.
Let the velocity 𝐕𝐕 be created on the segment 𝐿𝐿 of the motionless
closed contour 𝐿𝐿 which lies entirely in a certain plane. Let the vector
of the magnetic field 𝐁𝐁 be parallel to this plane. In such a system emf
of induction ℰ, appearing in the formula (109), is not induced, since
the magnetic flux is zero due to the perpendicularity of the vectors 𝐁𝐁
and 𝐧𝐧, where 𝐧𝐧 is the normal to the plane. However, according to
(206), the emf ℰЖ arises on the segment 𝐿𝐿 as a result of the general-
ized Zhukovsky force action.
The emf of Zhukovsky ℰЖ is observed, for example, in the uni-
polar generator, also called the Faraday disk [93, 123–125]. A sche-
matic scheme of such a device was proposed by Faraday in 1831. Cur-
rently, unipolar generators are used to create large currents at low
voltages, for example, in metallurgy or tokamak installations that im-
plement controlled thermonuclear fusion reactions.
However, before the etheric interpretation of the emf ℰЖ pre-
sented here as a result of the generalized Zhukovsky force appearance
in a disk rotating in the magnetic field, there was no convincing ex-
planation for the occurrence of a potential difference in a unipolar
generator.
239
For example, in the books [123, p. 417] and [93, p. 117] emf in
the unipolar generator is associated with the introduction of all new
disk elements into the circuit, that is, with switching the disk from one
circuit to another. Reference [124, p. 545–549] states that it is neces-
sary to extend the electromagnetic induction law for the unipolar ma-
chine in the case of an opening-closing circuit by considering the
magnetic flux through some new closed contour containing part of the
external circumference of the disk. At the same time, it is stated that
"the main part of the electric field arising from the motion of the mag-
net has a purely relativistic origin" [124, p. 548]. Such an explanation
contradicts the experiment with a contour rotating together with the
magnet, p. 407.
Besides, a significant drawback of such explanations is the arti-
ficial replacement of the observed continuous process by the process
in one or another discontinuous (discrete) model and the lack of anal-
ysis of the result of the transition from the introduced discrete model
to the original continuous model.
The well-known encyclopedic Internet resource en.wikipedia.org
in the "Unipolar generator" section, referring to the book [126, p.
210], proposes to explain the work of the unipolar generator by the
"modern interpretation" of the electromagnetic induction law, in
which the total derivative of the magnetic flux is considered and when
it is revealed, an additional term allegedly appears. But such an inter-
pretation of the derivative of the surface integral is mathematically
erroneous. In mathematics, the surface integral of the function is in-
troduced as a quantity independent of the spatial coordinates. There-
fore, its total time derivative coincides with the partial one and does
not give any additional terms.
A typical scheme of the unipolar generator is shown in fig. 5. An
essential part of such a generator is the disk of the radius 𝑅𝑅, rotating
at an angular velocity 𝛚𝛚, directed along the axis of the disk. A con-
stant magnetic field 𝐁𝐁 is created by the magnet or the electric current
and is also parallel to the axis of the disk.

where 𝐢𝐢𝑟𝑟 is the radial unit vector of the basis of the cylindrical coor-

emf proportionality to the angular speed of rotation |𝛚𝛚| and the magni-
tude of the magnetic field |𝐁𝐁| = 𝑐𝑐|𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮)|. The formula for the emf
also includs the parameter 𝛼𝛼 of the distribution of the ether flow velocity
𝐕𝐕 over the radius. Parameter 𝛼𝛼 depends on the material of the disk.
The results of experiments with unipolar generators of different
designs are briefly summarized in the form of a table on the resource
ru.wikipedia.org in the section "Unipolar Generator" [127]. The ap-
pearance of emf as a result of the ether flow explains all experiments
with moving and fixed parts of the generator without involving the
discrete model and the relativity theory. This includes the experiment
that causes the greatest difficulty in trying to interpret it within the
framework of the paradigm adopted in physics, namely: the presence
of a current in the stationary circuit at simultaneously rotating disk
and fixed to it magnet. In this experiment, in the motionless state there
is no emf, but in the rotating one there is, in spite of the fact that the
magnet and the disk remain non-movable relative to each other and
the magnetic flux through the closed circuit, with which the emf is
recorded, is absent. The inertia of the electrons (the centrifugal effect)
does not explain the current, since changing the direction of rotation
to the opposite changes the sign of the current. The current is also not
explained by the effect of the magnetic component of the Lorentz
force on the electrons, since in the direction transverse to the magnetic
field the electrons would have to be "locked", rotating along the Lar-
mor circle (magnetic trap). From the point of view of the ether theory,
according to (206), for the emergence of emf in the unipolar generator
it is only important that there is ether motion with a velocity 𝐕𝐕 and
the vectors 𝐕𝐕 and 𝐁𝐁 are not parallel.
The ether is completely excluded from the modern physics.
Therefore, the absence in it of a clear explanation of the unipolar gen-
erator operation principle indicates that the ether effects play a major
role in this device. Such a situation motivated the authors, together
with their colleagues, to design the unipolar generator and undertake
243
a series of experiments with it. The measurement results confirmed
the etheric mechanism of the unipolar generator operation. The data
obtained show that the current flow in the unipolar generator cannot
be explained by the motion of electrons, see sec. 23.3.
The unipolar generator may allow one to evaluate the role of the
third "etheric" term in the generalized Zhukovsky force 𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕 , if the full
expression for 𝑑𝑑𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕 /𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 (121) is used in (204) for analyzing experi-
ments.
Study of the processes in the unipolar generator helps to under-
stand the reason for the appearance of the electric field of the Earth
(see also sec. 15.2, 22.2, 25). If we consider the Earth rotating in the
magnetic field, then, presenting it in the form of cylindrical layers
mounted on a common axis, we obtain the appearance of emf on the
surface of each layer.
This conclusion means that the electrical processes associated
with the charging of the Earth are not due to the thunderstorm activity,
as it is usually assumed (see, for example: [28, p. 83]) but have a
deeper nature that requires additional studies (see also p. 587). The
mathematical theory of the ether provides a powerful tool for under-
taking such a research.
244
In the etheric interpretation, the electric current is the ether flow,
and the possible motion of charged particles in it is a secondary con-
comitant effect. Let us show that with such an understanding of the
current there are no contradictions in the explanation of the Hall-effect,
and it does not require the involvement of a complex to interpret model
of quantum mechanics with numerous postulates and principles.
By analogy with [28, sec. 98], we consider a thin conductive tape.
Apply perpendicular to the tape plane a magnetic field 𝐁𝐁 of the con-
stant value |𝐁𝐁| = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐, but not necessarily of a constant direction.
This field corresponds to some density and velocity of the ether 𝜌𝜌 and
𝐮𝐮 (20). The ether flow entering the tape can be changed significantly
due to the interaction with the structural elements of the tape material
and the ether flow created by them. Denote by 𝜌𝜌� and 𝐮𝐮 � the density and
velocity of the ether, induced inside the tape by the external field 𝐁𝐁.
Create a current in the tape with density 𝐣𝐣, |𝐣𝐣| = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐. The di-
rection of 𝐣𝐣, generally speaking, may vary. According to (133), the
presence of the current means the flow of the ether with a vortical
velocity 𝐕𝐕:
𝐣𝐣 = 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝐕𝐕.
In the direction of the element of the length 𝑑𝑑𝐥𝐥, the force 𝑑𝑑𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕
creates the pressure (204)
245
Taking into account the relation of the ether pressure difference
and the potential difference (75), we have

shown that the direction of the magnetic field in the conductor may
change sign depending on the distribution of the ether speed in it. The
possibility of changing the sign of 𝑅𝑅 removes the contradictory inter-
pretation of the Hall effect in physics [28, p. 418], which abandoned
the notion of a medium and replaced the flow of the ether in a con-
ductor by the motion of free electrons.
In the future, when the ether theory of the atomic structure of
solids will be constructed, formula (210) will allow to calculate 𝑅𝑅 the-
oretically.
247
is shown that the negative charge of the object corresponds to the in-
creased pressure of the ether inside it, and the positive charge to the
reduced pressure. It can be assumed that a similar situation takes place
in the microcosm at the level of electrons and protons.
Partial retention of the ether pressure in the object is provided by
at least two effects: the formation of the surface layer with a disturbed
regular structure of atoms and molecules, for example, in metals, and
the orientation (polarization) of complex molecules with the dipole
property, for example, in dielectrics.
In the absence of external influence, experience shows the possi-
bility of a relatively long retention by the object of the charge deliv-
ered to it. This means that in such a case, the change in the pressure
of the ether in the object (alignment with external pressure) is a rela-
tively slow, quasi-stationary process.
By analogy with the motion of gas through small holes in a bal-
loon or through nozzles from a reservoir, it is natural to assume that
when the ether in a negatively charged object, having an increased
pressure, goes beyond the boundary, the ether flow accelerates and
then the ether velocity decreases with increasing distance from the
object. If at the same time the density of the ether changes weakly,
then, according to (15), (72), the pressure gradient in the outer to the
negatively charged object area is directed from the object, and the
electric field – towards it.
Accordingly, if near the outside of the positively charged object
the flow of the ether slows down at flowing into the object, then in
this region the electric field is directed from the object.
The directions of the electric field near a positively and nega-
tively charged object, obtained from the etheric interpretation, coin-
cide with those accepted in physics [28, p. 19, 20].
The potential of the electric field is the pressure of the ether, see
formula (74). Therefore, the equipotentiality of the conductor surface,
known from electrostatic experiments [28, p. 79], in the etheric inter-
pretation has a clear explanation as the constant pressure of the ether
248
on this surface. If the pressure was different in different parts of the
surface, then, according to (5), there would be a flow of the ether be-
tween them, since the ether can move in a conductor, which would
continue until pressure equalization, that is, until a static state consid-
ered in electrostatics is established.
The increase of the electric field on the surface of the conductor
with a higher convexity compared to the neighboring areas [28, p. 51;
32, p. 111] can be associated with the rarefaction in this place of the
structural elements of the conductor. As a result, the flow of the ether
is facilitated, which, according to (15), increases the pressure gradient
of ether in this area.
The flow of the ether through the concave surface, on the con-
trary, is complicated by the local increase in the density of the con-
ductor material that appears during such a deformation. In this region,
the ether pressure gradient decreases and the electric field (72) ac-
cordingly decreases.
The creation of a charge during the friction of some bodies
against each other can be interpreted as an increase or decrease in the
pressure of the ether in them. The transfer of the electric charge from
one object to another when they are in contact is like the transfer of
the ether pressure.
The conservation law of the electric charges “the algebraic sum
of electric charges in an isolated system is kept constant” [36, p. 341]
is a consequence of the condition of the ether pressure gradient flow
constancy in the steady state (77) through the surface 𝑆𝑆, bounding the
isolated system.
The charge is recorded in the experiment by the presence of the
electrostatic field, that is, where there is the ether flow that has the pres-
sure gradient. Herewith, according to (5), the ether moves in the direc-
tion of lower pressure. Therefore, induction of the induction charge [28,
p. 50] when the charged object is brought into the electric field, can be
explained by the occurrence of a difference in the ether pressure in some
part of this object compared to the ether pressure in the electric field.
249
Consider a positive charge. The electric field created by it is di-
rected from the charge. Place in this field some object that has little
effect on the existing field. Near the side of this object nearest to the
charge, the electric field is directed toward the object. This means that
the pressure gradient has the opposite direction (72). Then the ether
pressure decreases when approaching the outside of this part of the
object's surface. As a result, on the side closest to the positive charge,
the pressure inside the object becomes greater than outside, which
corresponds to a negative charge. On the far side of the object from
the positive charge, the pressure in the field of this charge, on the con-
trary, increases when approaching the object's surface. The pressure
inside the object is less than the outside, which corresponds to a pos-
itive charge.
Similarly, the negative charge creates an increased ether pressure
near the object’s side nearest to it and lower to the far side. As a result,
on the near side, the pressure inside the object becomes smaller than
on the outside, and larger on the far side. There are respectively pos-
itive and negative charges.
It is known from experience that the charge can flow through a
conductor such as metal. From the ether point of view, this means that
in the conductor the pressure of the ether can equalize. Therefore, in
conductors there is an additional mechanism for the formation of in-
duction charge.
As already discussed, a positive charge creates an increased ether
pressure inside the nearest to it region of a conductor. At the boundary
of this region, the ether begins to flow out of the conductor. Inside the
inflow to the leak appears. Since the flow of the ether through the
boundary is difficult, this inflow slows down near it and the pressure
rises (including, possibly, due to the change in the characteristic ether
density 𝜌𝜌∗ in (15)), the induced negative charge is amplified. The flow
of the ether to the leak area leads to the outflow of the ether from the far
side of the conductor. On the far side, the ether begins to flow into the
conductor, accelerating inside it due to the difficult permeability of the
250
boundary, which leads to a drop in pressure from the inner side of the
border and, accordingly, to an increase in the induced positive charge.
A similar effect takes place in the field of negative charge, but
the positive charge is induced on the side of the conductor closest to
it, and the negative charge is induced on the far side.
Such an understanding of the behavior of the ether during induc-
tion of charge in a conductor corresponds to the experiment [28, p.
50], in which, as a result of disconnecting the two-cylinder conductor
at the presence of the electric charge field and then removing this
field, oppositely charged cylinders are obtained.
The etheric mechanism of attraction and repulsion of charged ob-
jects is considered quantitatively in sec. 16.1, 17.1. The qualitative
picture of the interaction of charges can be described as follows. The
gradients of the ether pressure, created by opposite charges, are di-
rected in the region between them in one direction. Their overlap en-
hances the flow and, according to (15), reduces the pressure, which
becomes smaller than around the charges sides that are not facing each
other, where the flow is weaker. As a result, pressure from the outside
pushes the charges towards each other. The ether flow between the
like charges is weaker than from their sides not facing each other,
since in this region the opposite pressure gradients overlap. Increased
pressure between like charges pushes them in different directions.
The experimentally known absence of the electrostatic field in-
side a conductor from the ether point of view (72) is explained by the
absence of a macroscopic ether motion 𝐮𝐮 ≈ 0 in it (except for the
boundary where 𝐮𝐮 ≠ 0 in the direction perpendicular to it), which
leads to a constant ether pressure 𝑝𝑝 inside the conductor see formula
(15). The conclusion about the constancy of the ether pressure in the
conductor can be called the ether analogue of Pascal's law [15, p. 7].
This conclusion is a consequence of the ether momentum conserva-
tion law (5). Therefore, the etheric justification for the absence of the
electrostatic field in a conductor is more convincing than the reference
251
in physics to the free electrons motionlessness inside the conductor
[34, sec. 18; 28, p. 50].
It is natural to assume that there are microscopic ether flows gen-
erated by atoms in a conductor, which, like in a single elementary
particle or atom, have a characteristic velocity 𝐮𝐮∗ of the order of the
velocity of light |𝐮𝐮∗ | = 𝑐𝑐. Then from the formula (15) at 𝐮𝐮 ≈ 0 we
can make an important conclusion: in the absence of external sources,
the change in the ether pressure in the conductor is due to the change
in the typical density 𝜌𝜌∗ of the ether structural elements (newtonians,
see sec. 21.2). In other words, the creation of the static charge in the
conductor leads to the change in the ether density in it. Therefore, the
ether flow through the conductor boundary may include the transfer
of newtonians, and not just the propagation of disturbances over them
(such as sound over atoms in metal).
The tendency of the conductor to equalize the ether pressure
within itself can be explained by the fact that an area of increased or
lower pressure (for example, with a modified newtonian density) in
the microscopic ether flow in a regular atomic lattice is an alien for-
mation for this flow, which is influenced by a force similar to Archi-
medean force [9, sec. 26], see also sec. 23.5.1. The absence of a sharp
boundary in this formation leads to its stirring.
In the cavity of the conductor there are no sources or sinks of the
ether, therefore the ether flow through the inner boundary of the con-
ductor equalizes the ether pressure in the cavity with the pressure of
the ether in the thickness of the conductor.
Attempts to measure the thickness of the surface layer, in which
the charge of the conductor is concentrated, have shown that it is very
small [128, p. 77], see also [28, p. 49]. This circumstance speaks in
favor of the ether mechanism of the charge manifestation in the form
of an electric field as the vector proportional to the ether pressure gra-
dient (72) near the outer side of the object's boundary, and not as a
result of a change in the number of free electrons on it.
252
We emphasize once again that the detailed study of the ether flow
through the surface of an object and the ether flow inside it requires
the construction of the etheric model of an object, in particular a solid
body, which is the direction of further research.
The absence of the electric field inside a conductor (having no
manifestations of dielectric properties) is of great fundamental im-
portance. For example, on this fact is based the proof of important
statements that make up the Faraday theorem [28, p. 53, 54; 32, p.
113–116]: “the sum of induced charges on the inner surface of the
conducting shell is equal and opposite in sign to the sum of charges
surrounded by this shell”, more precisely, surrounded by the surface
lying between the inner and outer boundaries of the shell; "The Cou-
lomb field of charges surrounded by the conducting envelope and
charges induced on its inner surface is zero in all outer space."
We show that the absence of the electric field inside a conductor
leads to a contradiction in the theory of free electrons at describing
electrostatics of a conductors system.
From experience it is known that the charge of any of the con-
ductors being not in contact with each other depends on the potentials
of all the conductors involved in the formation of the electric field,
see, for example: [34, p. 72]. This conclusion also follows from the
formula (27.5) in [28, p. 105]
𝑛𝑛
253
According to this formula, a change in the potential 𝜑𝜑𝑘𝑘 of the
surface of one of the conductors leads to a change in charges on the
other conductors without direct contact between the conductors.
Herewith, the concentration of free electrons inside the conductors
with the numbers 𝑖𝑖 ≠ 𝑘𝑘 cannot change, since the electrostatic field in
them is zero and, therefore, the charge density (28) must be zero. The
number of electrons on their surfaces cannot change either, since the
conductors do not contact with each other (the charge density can be
redistributed over the conductor surface as a result of electrostatic in-
duction, but this does not change the total charge of the surface).
There is a contradiction in the electronic theory of electrostatics: the
charge 𝑞𝑞𝑖𝑖 of the whole conductor changes without contact, and the
number of electrons in it and on its surface does not change.
The obtained contradiction means that the theory of free electrons
in the conductor cannot be applied to electrostatics.
Besides, sec. 23.2.1 shows that free electrons (if present) cannot
form clusters in a quasi-neutral conductor on scales larger than inter-
atomic. Another contradiction arises in the theory of free electrons:
on the one hand, it is believed that their motion explains the polariza-
tion of the conductor even in a relatively weak electrostatic field, on
the other hand, free electrons in such a field cannot move at distances
greater interatomic ones.
Historically, the laws of electrostatics were discovered in the para-
digm of the ether existence (see, for example: [128]), even if it was not
formalized by quantitative relations (4)–(6). Therefore, the noted essen-
tial omissions of the free electrons theory either were not noticed in time
or were hushed up when the empty space paradigm was imposed.
In the etheric interpretation of electrostatics, these contradictions
do not arise, since the change in the potential on the surface of one
conductor means the change of the ether pressure in it and in its sur-
rounding area, which, according to (4)–(6), leads to the change of the
ether pressure and gradient of the pressure around other conductors,
and, consequently, to the change of the charges of these conductors.
254
In view of the equality (74), the calculation of the static ether
pressure of the conductors system, the pressure in them and the
charges on them is reduced to the solution of electrostatics standard
problems, see, for example: [62, p. 396–401; 130, ch. IV].
The main experimental evidence of the potential (the ether pres-
sure) constancy inside the conductor is the experiment with the Fara-
day cylinder [128, p. 82–86; 28, p. 54; 34, p. 61] and the experiments
of Cavendish and Maxwell [34, sec. 28 and p. 595–597].
Let us discuss the generally accepted interpretation of the experi-
ment with the Faraday cylinder and give its etheric interpretation. In
this experiment, a hollow cylinder and a small ball, as compared with
the cylinder dimensions, are considered. The ball is charged away
from the cylinder and introduced into the cavity of the cylinder. The
measurements described in [128, p. 86], show that a charge equal to
the charge of the ball is induced on the outer side of the cylinder. The
ball's contact with the inner wall of the cylinder does not change the
charge of the outer side of the cylinder [128, p. 86]. The extracted ball
is uncharged, that is, its entire charge remains on the cylinder. Repeti-
tion of the above actions again transfers the entire charge of the ball to
the cylinder. The removed ball is again uncharged. All points on the
outer surface, the inner surface and in the thickness of the cylinder
have the same potential [34, p. 460; 129, p. 73; 36, p. 357]. It is claimed
that multiple repetition of such operations can theoretically deliver the
hollow conductor an arbitrarily large charge [28, p. 54; 34, p. 61].
Interestingly, in physics, the fundamental problem of explaining
the details of the charge transfer mechanism (or potential) in the di-
rection from the lower (in absolute value), to which a small ball is
charged, to a much higher (in absolute value) charge (potential) of cy-
linder through the touch of the ball to the inner boundary of the cyl-
inder is either not considered at all, or put into problems for self-so-
lution, see, for example: [131, problems 34, 35, p. 9, 128; 132, p. 380;
133, problems 24, 28, 41, 42; 134, problem 10.4, p. 47, 163; 28, p.
107, problems 1 and 2; 34, sec. 30].
255
The explanation accepted in physics is as follows. The ball and
the cylinder have a charge of the same sign, and therefore between
them Coulomb repulsion force acts. When the ball approaches the cyl-
inder and is introduced into the cavity, the work is performed against
the repulsive force, as a result of which the small ball is charged by
the potential by an amount equal to the potential of the cylinder. On
the ball inside the cylinder there is an excess potential corresponding
to the initial charge of the ball, see [131, problems 34, 35, p. 9, 128].
The contact of the ball with the inner surface of the cylinder transfers
to the outer side of the cylinder all the excess potential of the ball.
However, the mechanism of the ball potential increasing when
performing the work is not explained in physics. Besides, as already
noted, the electron theory of electrostatics does not explain the growth
of the charge of the test ball |𝑞𝑞| with an increase of its potential |𝜑𝜑| at
approaching the cylinder, since the number of electrons in the ball
does not change.
In the etheric approach, the problem of interpreting the experi-
ment with the Faraday cylinder does not arise. The potential is the
pressure of the ether (74). Therefore, the work against the pressure
(flow of the ether) created by the cylinder, goes on increasing the
pressure of the ether inside the ball: the forced motion of the ball in
the ether flow causes to increase the flow through its partially perme-
able boundary. The surface of the conductor is capable of retaining
the ether pressure for a long time, therefore the initial pressure in the
ball is not lost. In the cavity of the cylinder, the ball turns out to be
with a pressure that differs from the pressure in the cylinder by an
amount of the order of the initial pressure in the ball (and, according
to (190), with the changed charge). The contact of the ball with the
inner wall of the cylinder leads to pressure equalization, that is, to an
increase of the pressure in the cylinder. Since the ether pressure in the
conductor is constant, the pressure (potential) on the surface of the
cylinder also increases. The change of the pressure in the cylinder
256
makes stronger the flow of the ether through its boundary, the pres-
sure gradient increases, that is, the electric field, which is interpreted
by the observer as the appearance of an additional charge on the cyl-
inder. When the ball is pulled out of the cylinder, the work is done in
the opposite direction, it goes to change of ether pressure in the ball,
as a result of which all residual pressure after contact of the ball is lost
far from the cylinder and the ball becomes uncharged.
257
in contrast to the electronic one, the principle of the generator opera-
tion is simple and illustrative and consists in creating of the significant
pressure in the hollow conductor by small portions.
The electrophore machine is widely used in many demonstration
experiments for producing of the high electrostatic field strength.
However, the description of the mechanism of it work is not found in
the main literature recommended for teaching students on physical
specialties. The principle of the electrophore operation uses an in-
crease in the ether pressure difference (potentials) with increasing of
the distance between opposite charges. This property follows from the
formula (191): 𝑝𝑝2 − 𝑝𝑝1 increases with decreasing of 𝐶𝐶 at 𝑞𝑞𝜎𝜎 ≈ 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐.
258
in different directions. The distance between sectors 𝐴𝐴1 and 𝐵𝐵1 in-
creases. As a result, the capacity of the considered capacitor 𝐴𝐴1 𝐵𝐵1
drops. Then, according to (191), the difference of the ether pressure
between the sectors 𝐴𝐴1 and 𝐵𝐵1 increases at a slightly changing charge
(pressure increments inside 𝐴𝐴1 and 𝐵𝐵1). At this moment, one of the
sectors, for example, 𝐴𝐴1 , of the separated capacitor 𝐴𝐴1 𝐵𝐵1, is opposite
the sector 𝐵𝐵2 of the disk 𝐵𝐵2, which is closed by a conductor with sec-
tor Y1 , lying diagonally on 𝐵𝐵. The pressure increased in the capacitor
𝐴𝐴1 𝐵𝐵1 induces in the closed sectors 𝐵𝐵2 and Y1 opposite in sign the ether
pressure increments (potentials), strengthening in each of them the al-
ready existing pressure increment (charging).
Moving further, the sector 𝐴𝐴1 touches the brush 𝑍𝑍 of the external
circuit and partially relieves the ether pressure (discharges). Then the
sector 𝐴𝐴1 gets on the diagonal conductor of the disk 𝐴𝐴1 , which closes
the sector X1 . Sectors 𝐴𝐴1 and X1 receive the induced pressure (charge)
similar to sectors 𝐵𝐵1 and Y1 . This time the pressure increment in 𝐴𝐴1
has the opposite sign. Thus, the disk 𝐴𝐴 transfers on one half of the
sectors the pressure increment of a certain sign, and on the other – the
opposite one. Similarly, for sectors of the disk 𝐵𝐵. The B disk sectors
are discharged to the 𝑍𝑍1 brush of the second external contour.
The beating of the pendulum between the plates of the capacitor
is explained by the occurrence of the induced increment of the ether
pressure of a different sign on its sides, by the Coulomb law attraction
to the nearest plate, getting a charge from it; by the attraction to the
oppositely charged plate, charge exchange on it, and so on.
The rotation of the bitbrace and the electric rotor, the floating of
the lifter in air is associated with the appearance of the so-called ion
(or electric) wind. These phenomena are explained by the ionization
of air molecules around thin and sharp edges at voltages of ~20 [kV].
Near the tip or thin electrode, the strength of the electric field in-
creases [34, sec. 29]. As a result, ionization of air molecules occurs,
see details in appendix 7. The resulting ions begin to repel, according
to the Coulomb's law, from the electrode, which ionized them. The
created amount of motion is enough to rotate the bitbrace, the electric
259
rotor and lifting the lifter into the air. Greater ion acceleration in the
bitbrace or rotor is achieved by mounting a ball next to it, which is
connected to the opposite electrode. In the lifter, the second electrode
is made of the wide foil, on which the ionization is less intense, see,
for example, the video [www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzZy1Aqleno&
t=9s] about the features of the lifter manufacturing.
Exhaustive research requires an answer to the question of
whether the movement of the bitbrace, electric rotor and lifter is main-
tained in a high vacuum, where there is no gas and, accordingly, no
ionization effect, as well as whether the charge leaks from the object
in the vacuum. The ether motion has the impulse (5), therefore, posi-
tive answers to these questions will confirm existence of the ether. It
would also be interesting to repeat in the vacuum the experiment on
the investigation of the charge location in a capacitor, see, for exam-
ple: [www. youtube.com/watch?v=PCae6jRw6Jg], [www.youtube.
com/watch?v = nQ-En3vWKsE] and other videos on this topic.
Much to our surprise, no reliable information was found in the
scientific literature about a serious study of these issues. At that, for
sure, experiments in the vacuum should have been carried out numer-
ously to implement the methodology of physics, which generalizes
the experimental facts. There is a suspicion that the ether effects have
been observed, but have not been published in the scientific literature
due to the contradiction to the relativistic paradigm of empty space.
The experiments we carried out together with our colleagues and
information on similar experiments found in the Internet show that
motion in the vacuum takes place, see sec. 23.9.4, 23.9.5. This, in
combination with many other experimental facts collected in sec. 23,
confirms the existence of the ether and the ether mechanism of elec-
trostatic effects.
260
a gradual transition of one quasi-equilibrium state of the plasma to
another occurs, caused by the self-consistent interaction of the plasma
and the magnetic and electric fields. On the one hand, various pro-
cesses in the plasma change the gas kinetic pressure and current,
which leads to a restructuring of the electromagnetic field. On the
other hand, the electromagnetic field itself affects the evolution of
processes in a plasma.
From the etheric point of view, there is a self-consistent interac-
tion of charged plasma particles with ether, represented in the form of
magnetic and electric fields (20), (21).
The development of adequate plasma evolution models is ex-
tremely important. Such models and their corresponding numerical
codes make it possible to quantitatively study the change in plasma
properties in the course of time, optimize plasma confinement re-
gimes, study particle and heat transfer processes, calculate plasma
current generation by inductive and non-inductive methods, solve
problems of efficient energy production using hydrogen isotope syn-
thesis (fusion) reactions [www.iter.org].
Now, in the most general form, the self-consistent problem of the
equilibrium evolution of a toroidal plasma is described by three
groups of equations: the Maxwell equations, the equilibrium equation,
and a system of kinetic equations for the distribution functions of each
kind of plasma particle [57, 58, sec. 1.1]. The charge density and cur-
rent density included in Maxwell's equations are expressed through
the distribution functions.
It is noted in sec. 2.2 that instead of solving the system of eight
Maxwell equations for determining of two vector functions 𝐁𝐁 and 𝐄𝐄,
a more efficient approach is to solve four ether equations (22), (23)
with respect to the scalar function 𝜌𝜌 and the vector function 𝐮𝐮 and
then use them for calculating fields 𝐁𝐁 and 𝐄𝐄 (20), (21). Such an ap-
proach will increase the generality of the toroidal plasma model and,
possibly, allow to understand unexplained phenomena.
261
At present, the radial energy flow in the toroidal plasma is con-
sidered as anomalously large, that is, it is not explained in physics.
Perhaps taking into account the energy of the radial flow of the ether
will solve this fundamental problem.
Under certain conditions, in the toroidal plasma an almost instan-
taneous transfer of its properties from the center to the periphery is
observed. In physics, the mechanism of such a phenomenon is not
explained. In the theory of the ether, it can be interpreted as the oc-
currence of the radial motion of the ether to the periphery, which, due
to the small size of the newtonians, does not experience noticeable
obstacles when passing through the substance of the plasma.
Another fundamental problem of the confinement in the form of
the torus is the explanation of the mechanisms by which plasma in-
stabilities arise. It is possible that many of them are due to the emer-
gence of an unstable flow of the ether.
For example, the plasma of almost all tokamaks has so-called
sawtooth oscillations, usually occurring in its center and leading to
plasma mixing in this region. This process is undesirable because it
leads to the cooling of the central plasma region, and in the worst
cases, to disruption of the discharge. Experimental and theoretical
study of sawtooth oscillations began quite a long time ago and con-
tinues at the present time, see, for example, [136–138]. Many models
of sawtooth oscillations have been proposed [137]. However, so far
the mechanism of their occurrence is not clear.
From etheric positions, the sawtooth plasma oscillations can have
the following explanation. The radial electric field in typical dis-
charges is directed to the plasma center, see, for example: [57, 58, sec.
1.2.16, 4.1.2]. According to (72), this means that the pressure gradient
of the ether is directed outwards, and in accordance with (6), the ether
flow moves toward the plasma center. In conditions of the impossi-
bility of unlimited uniform compression of the ether, periodically it
splashes out of the central region.
262
The ether mechanism can also explain the formation of so-called
Edge Localized Modes (ELM) on the edge of the plasma. The essence
of ELM is the appearance at the boundary of a highly compressed
plasma cord of local buckling, which expands and bursts, see, for ex-
ample, the literature in the review [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER]. As
a result, the reactor wall overheats, its increased wear occurs, and the
plasma is cooled and becomes clogged with impurities.
In discharges with the improved plasma confinement at its
boundary, there is usually a sharp local change in the radial electric
field. In the etheric interpretation, this means a sharp change in the
ether pressure gradient. The sharp ether pressure gradient prevents the
flow of the ether into or out of the plasma. There is a local accumula-
tion of the ether, causing the plasma to bulge. It should be emphasized
that charged particles accumulating in it can contribute to the for-
mation of a local splash in the pressure gradient, since, according to
(66), they also participate in the formation of the ether flow, as well
as sources external to the plasma.
The theory of the plasma confinement is based on the equilibrium
equation. In the classical form, it expresses the balance between the
force density of the magnetic pressure and the gas-kinetic pressure in
the steady state [57, 58, sec. 1.1]

since the ether flow has a noticeable effect on charged particles, for
example, in the form of the Lorentz force (174).
Taking into account the formula (72), the generalized equilibrium

At the macro level in the magnet, domains are observed – mac-
roscopic regions, in each of which the magnetizing current flows with
its own orientation. A domain is usually characterized by a magneti-
zation vector representing the average magnetic moment of a domain
unit volume created by the magnetization current.
From the point of view of continuous media mechanics, the mag-
netizing current is a vortical flow of the ether (131) created by some
sources. The difference from the usual interpretation is that the mag-
netization current corresponds not to the currents circulating in the
atoms of the substance [28, p. 243], but to the ether vortical flow cre-
ated by atoms of matter or an external influence. In particular, the
magnetization current in the ether interpretation does not need to be
localized in the region where the charged particle or atom is located.
Thus, in the etheric interpretation, the electric currents in the con-
ductors and the magnetization currents in the magnets have the same
nature, consisting in the motion of the vortex ether flow (131).
In physics, the magnetization of a ferromagnet placed in an ex-
ternal magnetic field is associated with a change in the multidirec-
tional orientation of the magnetization vectors of the domains to uni-
directional. From the point of view of continuous media mechanics,
it is possible to assume the presence of a second magnetization mech-
anism – the creation by an external magnetic field (external ether
flow) in a ferromagnet of magnetization currents (vortex ether flows
in domains) that do not decay out for a long time due to the internal
structure of the ferromagnet. In such a mechanism, the magnetism of
a permanent magnet can be considered as a manifestation of the su-
perconductivity effect at the level of electric currents in the domains.
The ether interpretation of magnetization currents allows to give
a clear interpretation of the phenomena associated with permanent
magnets, and use equations (4)–(6) or (22), (23) for a detailed quanti-
tative study of their properties. In many cases, experiments with per-
manent magnets can be interpreted as a direct force effect of the ether,
due to the presence of the pressure gradient.

19.1. Ether flow created by a domain
2𝜋𝜋𝑎𝑎2 𝐼𝐼
𝐁𝐁 = 𝐢𝐢 ,
𝑐𝑐(𝑎𝑎2 + 𝑧𝑧 2 )3/2 𝑧𝑧
where 𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 is the unit basis vector of the cylindrical coordinate system
(𝑅𝑅, 𝜑𝜑, 𝑧𝑧) with the axis 𝑧𝑧, coinciding with the ring axis, 𝑎𝑎 is the ring
radius, 𝐼𝐼 is full total magnetizing current in the ring, (𝑎𝑎2 + 𝑧𝑧 2 )1/2 is
the distance from a point on the ring to a point on the 𝑧𝑧 axis.
The etheric interpretation of the electric current allows to estab-
lish an interesting property of the magnetic field in the center 𝑧𝑧 = 0
of the ring current. According to (133), we have 𝐼𝐼 = 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝑢𝑢𝑢𝑢 =
𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝜔𝜔𝜔𝜔𝑆𝑆, where 𝑢𝑢 = 𝜔𝜔𝜔𝜔 is the ether speed in an electric current, 𝜔𝜔 is
the angular speed of the ether current, 𝑆𝑆 is the cross-sectional area of
the current. Therefore
2𝜋𝜋𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0
𝐁𝐁 = 𝜔𝜔𝑆𝑆𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 , (212)

266
From the definition of the magnetic field (20) for the ether flow
density 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮, we have near the 𝑧𝑧 axis
2𝜋𝜋𝑎𝑎2 𝐼𝐼
𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮) = 𝐢𝐢 . (213)
𝑐𝑐 2 (𝑎𝑎2 + 𝑧𝑧 2 )3/2 𝑧𝑧
We will search for the magnetic ether flow, for which 𝐄𝐄 = 0 (see
sec.15.3). The second equation of the system (168), gives
𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮2 = 𝐶𝐶1 .
1 𝐮𝐮
|𝐮𝐮|𝛁𝛁 � � − 𝐮𝐮 × �𝛁𝛁 × � 2 �� = 0.
|𝐮𝐮| 𝐮𝐮
where 𝐶𝐶1 > 0, 𝐶𝐶2 are arbitrary constants. The density of such a flow
of the ether 𝜌𝜌|𝐮𝐮| is always limited. When considering |𝐮𝐮| separately
from the density 𝜌𝜌, the properties of the etheric medium should be
taken into account in the absence of external influences: |𝐮𝐮| ≤ 𝑐𝑐.
The condition (213), containing three equations, gives
𝐶𝐶1 2𝜋𝜋𝑎𝑎2 𝐼𝐼
= 2 2 ,
𝐶𝐶2 𝑐𝑐 (𝑎𝑎 + 𝑧𝑧 2 )3/2
which is fulfilled for 𝑧𝑧 2 ≪ 𝑎𝑎2 .
267
The found solution 𝐮𝐮 and 𝜌𝜌 describes the ether motion near the 𝑧𝑧
axis, since the equation (213) is true for 𝐁𝐁 on the 𝑧𝑧 axis. Note that the
ether velocity 𝐮𝐮 near the axis of the ring current does not have a com-
ponent along this axis. Besides, there is no pressure gradient on the
axis 𝛁𝛁𝑝𝑝 = −𝛁𝛁(𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮2 ) = 0.
To search for 𝐮𝐮 and 𝜌𝜌 in all points of space, a numerical solution
of the original system of equations (4)–(6) or (22), (23) is necessary.
In a more realistic approach to the formulation of the problem for
the ether flow created by a domain, it is necessary to accurately take
into account its geometry, as well as to take into account the condi-
tions at the domain boundaries and possible external influences.
The presence of the ether velocity around the domains allows to
reveal the essence of many phenomena associated with the force ac-
tion of permanent magnets.
268
𝜌𝜌 ≈ 𝜌𝜌0 = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐.
269
and, moreover, it is fulfilled at all points of the medium, and not only
on the trajectory (see sec. 14). Here 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 is the ether density in mechan-
ical units (see. sec. 1.1 and 20.1).
Under the conditions considered, 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 ≈ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 , where 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 is the un-
perturbed ether density. Therefore, according to equation (214), regions
of various pressures of the ether appear when its velocity changes.
In classical physics, it is assumed that the magnetic field around a
permanent magnet is determined by the domains inside it. As already
noted, in the etheric interpretation of the magnetic field (20), these do-
mains create an ether flow density having a vorticity, that is, having a
non-zero rotor. As a result, the attraction or repulsion of permanent
magnets can be explained by the appearance of a gradient of the ether
pressure due to an increase or decrease in the ether velocity between
them. And the attraction of ferromagnetics by magnets by the appear-
ance of the ether pressure gradient due to the creation of orientation of
the ether flow in the domains of the ferromagnet that changes the ap-
plied magnetic field, that is, the ether velocity field. The d’Alembert
paradox (see, for example: [9, p. 290; 15, p. 194]) does not arise here,
since the ether flow under consideration is vortical.
Let us estimate quantitatively the etheric mechanism of magnetic
force action on the example of the loose magnet in the form of a rec-
tangular parallelepiped attraction to the fixed infinite wall made of the
ferromagnet and having a large thickness. Consider the case of the
absence of a gas and external forces in the surrounding magnet me-
dium. Place the magnet perpendicular to the wall at a sufficiently
close distance at which the magnetic field 𝐁𝐁0 between the wall and
the magnet can be considered constant (see fig. 7). For the sake of
definiteness, let the magnet pole closest to the wall be the north pole.
As noted above, the velocity of the ether motion from the north
pole of the magnet to the wall varies due to the reorientation of the
domains in the wall. The flow of the ether entering the southern pole
of the magnet also changes, since the ether flow lines (magnetic field
270
lines) now end, basically, on the wall, and the wall is infinite and does
not create a flow of the ether (magnetic field lines), coming to the
south pole. We assume that the speed of the ether between the wall
and the magnet is much higher than the speed of the ether near the
southern pole (this behavior can be explained, for example, by de-
creasing of the diameter of the ether flow between the magnet and the
wall at the same flow rate) i.e. the ether pressure near the southern
pole is weakly disturbed. Then, according to (214),
where 𝐮𝐮 and 𝑝𝑝 are the velocity and pressure of the ether between the
magnet and the wall, 𝑝𝑝0 is the ether pressure at infinity.
Thus, the velocity of the ether steady motion between the magnet
and the wall is determined by the difference of the pressure of the
271
unperturbed ether and the pressure of the ether between them. The
pressure difference between the vortex flow of ether affects the flow
of ether in the domains currents of the magnet. Domain currents are
limited by the surrounding substance, so the magnet moves with the
domain currents. The magnet gets in conditions similar to the motion
of the piston under the action of the pressure difference.
The formula (215) allows us to estimate the magnet attracting
speed, if we accept that the velocity of its steady state motion 𝐮𝐮𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑛𝑛
coincides with the velocity of the ether motion 𝐮𝐮 between the magnet
and the wall
272
The equation of continuity is fulfilled inside and outside the cir-
cular vortex, since the velocity has just an azimuthal component,
which depends only on the radius.
In the model of the incompressible medium in order to satisfy the
equation of motion, it is assumed that inside and outside a circular
vortex, the flow with the velocity found from kinematic considera-
tions is provided by the external pressure [15, p. 298]. That is, in the
equation of motion, the density of the force is chosen to turn it into
the identity when substituting the known velocity.
As a result, the pressure inside and outside of the circular vortex
in a non-compressible medium is given by formulas (28.2), (28.3) in
[15, p. 298, 299].
In the compressible medium model, the pressure required to
maintain a steady flow in the vortex can be provided by appropriate
radial density distribution of the medium.
Acting within the framework of the circular vortex model in the
incompressible medium [15, p. 296–300], suppose that in the etheric
circular vortex, the external pressure provides the same pressure dis-
tribution in the vortex as calculated in [15, p. 298, 299]:

inside the circular vortex. However, such discreteness is invisible in
the volume that significantly exceeds the domain volume, since the
number of domains is large and their size is small, which means that
the density of the circular vortices created by the domains is high.
We assume that the influence on the pressure inside the vortex
from the other vortices is small. To estimate the order of magnitude,
we take for the ether pressure between the wall and the magnet some
average pressure in the vortex, for example, at 𝑟𝑟 = 𝑎𝑎:

In the magnetic field model under consideration, the vortex is
created by the magnetic domain. Therefore, the radius of the vortex 𝑎𝑎
is defined by the radius of the domain. The size range of magnetic
domains is given, for example, in the review [en.wikipe-
dia.org/wiki/Magnetic_domain] and ranges to 10−2–10−4 [cm].
However, the vortex radius can be estimated directly from the dis-
tance between the lines of iron sawdusts, assuming that they are con-
centrated in the places of the lowest pressure (center) of the vortex
[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_domain]. To estimate the order of
magnitude we take some average value for the radius of the vortex
created by the domain
𝑎𝑎 ≈ 2 ∙ 10−3 [cm].

105 [Pa], that is, 𝑝𝑝𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 has the order of the atmospheric pressure. It is
important to note that this result can be approximately verified in do-
mestic conditions. For example, the force required to hold a strong
magnet close to the wall of a refrigerator is consistent in order of mag-
nitude with a pressure about one atmosphere.
Formulas (215)–(218) allow us to estimate the density of the
ether experimentally.
The pressure of the magnet 𝑝𝑝𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 can be found by measuring (for
example, by a dynamometer) the force with which the magnet is at-
tracted to the wall, and dividing it by the cross-sectional area of the
magnet. Then from the equality 𝑝𝑝𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 = 𝑝𝑝0 − 𝑝𝑝 using formula (218)
we get

19.3. Conductive non-magnetic material and a magnet
Let us discuss the etheric interpretation of the experiment with a
permanent magnet, freely moving under the action of gravity in a ver-
tically located copper tube. A strong slowdown of the speed of the
magnet in the tube is observed.
There is a vortex flow of the ether around the magnet (sec. 19.2).
When the magnet passes through the tube, this flow interacts with the
internal structure of copper, as a result of which a flow of the ether
with a non-zero rotor of rotor appears in copper (see formulas (34),
(131)). In copper, the ether motion appears appropriate to the electric
current, which is discussed in detail in sec. 12.
Such currents in physics are called Foucault currents, and it is
emphasized that these currents are vortical and induction currents
(see, for example: [28, p. 262], as well as the illustration of Foucault
currents on site [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current]).
The currents (the ether flows) in the walls of the copper tube in-
teract with the ether flows appropriate to the domain currents in the
magnet, according to Ampere's law, which is a consequence of the
ether vortical momentum conservation law (see sec. 12.1). In fact,
there is a force interaction of the ether vortex flows (see. sec. 11).
Arising forces prevent the magnet from moving along the tube.
The qualitative picture of the ether velocity field is shown in fig.
8. The ether flows of electric currents appropriate to the velocities
𝐮𝐮w,н and 𝐮𝐮d , repel each other, and for the velocities 𝐮𝐮w,в and 𝐮𝐮d at-
tract each other. Quantitative analysis of this observation requires the
numerical solution of the ether equations.
We emphasize that explanation of this experiment did not involve
any information about the directional motion of charged particles in
the magnet and the tube. From the point of view of the ether interpre-
tation of the process, the directed motion of charged particles, if it
occurs, is initiated by the ether flow.
A similar interpretation can be given to experiments with the lev-
itation of a copper spacer placed vertically or horizontally between
277
two poles of a strong magnet, as well as experiments with attenuation
of pendulum oscillations in the magnet field. Such experiments are
described, for example, in [28, p. 263].

field 𝐁𝐁 line.
278
experiments have a relatively simple explanation at a qualitative level.
The situation here is similar to that discussed in sec. 19.3, but with a
more complex geometry of the magnetic field. There is a force inter-
action of the ether vortex flows, caused by the conservation law of the
ether vortex impulse (see. sec. 11).
Detailed analysis of such experiments is one of the directions for
further research.
The magnet creates around itself a vortex flow of the ether (see
sec. 19.2). The vortex flows of the magnets act on each other with a
force due to the preservation of the vortex impulse (sec. 11) and the
pressure difference (sec. 13), and move, dragging the magnets with
them (p. 272). At that, this force, in the general case, is distributed in
space, which significantly complicates the detailed study of the vortex
flows interaction. It is required to conduct numerical studies based on
the solution of the ether equations.
Nonetheless, at the qualitative level, the etheric interpretation al-
lows us to give simple and clear explanations to observations.
For example, it is easy to check, even in the domestic conditions,
that two identical magnets are much more strongly attracted to each
other than one of them to the ferromagnetic wall. This effect can be
explained by the fact that both magnets create a flow of the ether
around themselves and, accordingly, as the opposite poles approach
each other, the velocity of the ether increases significantly, and the
pressure decreases greatly. At the same time, as the magnet and the
wall come closer, the pressure between them does not decrease so
much, since in an isolated state the wall does not create a velocity
field in the ether.
The etheric interpretation of the magnets interaction, based on the
ether pressure difference, allows us to explain the smaller force re-
quired to separate two strong magnets using the third one applied to
279
them with the same pole, as well as less effort to separate the magnets
by a shift in their plane of tangency. See p. 283 on experiments with
magnet shift.
The rotation of the magnetic needle in the constant magnetic field
can be explained by the occurrence of the force moment associated
with the external vortical ether flow on the vortical flow created by
the domain flows in the magnetic needle.
It is known that long-term preservation of the magnet force prop-
erties is ensured by closing its poles by a jumper from a ferromagnet.
In the etheric interpretation, this effect is explained by the orientation
of the domain ether flows in the jumper, which, unlike air, not only
more easily passes the magnet ether flow through itself, but can also
support it with the ether flow in the jumper domains.
280
field also returns in the original state. That is, the course of the ether
flow when the magnet returns to the initial position remains the same
both outside and inside the magnet.
The stability of the magnetic properties of the permanent magnet
to a not too strong external magnetic field can be given a visual etheric
interpretation. The magnet interacts with the external magnetic field
through etheric vortices (sec. 19.1), created by domain ether currents
in the magnet, and the feature of the permanent magnet structural el-
ements organization (which is not yet fully understood) prevents the
influence of the external magnetic field on the orientation of the do-
main currents inside the magnet.
Many experiments, including attempts to create superunit devices
[125], show that at relatively slow motion after the return of the sys-
tem of magnets to the initial position, the magnetic properties of each
of them practically do not change. As a result, the magnetic field cre-
ated by all the magnets returns to its original state.
The magnetic field is proportional to the rotor (20) of the ether
density flow 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮. Therefore, the distribution of the rotor of the ether
flow density in 𝛺𝛺 returns to its original state. The rotor characterizes
only a part of the properties of the flow density 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮; however, with
relatively slow movement of the magnets, no significant effects are
recorded by the available means. In particular, the electric field that
can arise according to (29), can be neglected. Therefore, it is natural
to assume that not only the rotor 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮, but also the density of the ether
flow 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮, as well as 𝜌𝜌 and 𝐮𝐮, separately return to the initial state. This
means that in the 𝛺𝛺 region there is no change in the density of the
kinetic energy of the ether (12) regardless of the trajectory along
which the magnets move.
Since the density of kinetic energy does not change in 𝛺𝛺, then,
according to the ether state equation (15), in the absence of the energy
density of external sources 𝛱𝛱 = 0, the energy density 𝑝𝑝, stored in the
ether tesions, does not change either.
281
The identity of the currents and the tension density of the ether at
the initial and final moments of time, corresponding to the return of
the magnets to their original position, implies the equality of the inte-
grals over the domain 𝛺𝛺 of their sum at these moments of time. That
is, at the initial and final times, the total energy of the ether in 𝛺𝛺 is the
same. Then the external force moving the magnets does not do work
that changes the energy 𝛺𝛺.
According to the third law of Newton, the force acting on the
system of magnets is equal to the force acting from the system of
magnets. Therefore, the system of magnets does not do external work.
On some parts of the magnets movement between the initial and
final moments of time, mechanical work can be performed because of
a change in the balance between the kinetic energy and the ether pres-
sure (at preservation of their sum (15)), but the resulting work on re-
turning the magnets to the initial position still remains zero, otherwise
at the initial and final moments, the ether energy would change in 𝛺𝛺.
For example, when two magnets are connected by opposite poles, the
mechanical work is done and there is a noticeable increase in their
total magnetic field compared to the field of each magnet separately.
The work of the ether pressure at magnets approach to each other in-
creases the speed of the ether (magnetic field) motion inside and out-
side the magnets. However, when magnets are disconnected, the work
is done in the opposite direction.
Thus, in the isolated region of the ether, any cyclic relatively slow
motion of the magnets system, for which at some moment of time this
system returns to its original position, does not result in an increase
of the ether energy during one cycle. This means that by the motion
of the magnets in the considered conditions, it will not be possible to
use the kinetic energy and the energy of the ether internal tension
(pressure) to build a cyclic energy generator or engine. The main
physical reason for this conclusion is the restoration of the magnetic
properties of a permanent magnet at each period in a periodically var-
ying external magnetic field.
282
A deceptive conclusion about the possibility of obtaining a gain
in the work may be given the impression that it is easier to separate
two magnets by a shift perpendicular to the magnetic field than by a
detachment in the direction of the magnetic field. To study this issue,
the authors together with I.N. Stepanov and V.A. Chizhov constructed
the stand where it was possible to measure with dynamometer the
force of magnets attraction depending on the distance between them
during detachment and shift. The work of the magnets attraction force
at detachment turned out to be equal to the work of the attraction force
during shift up to measurement error. At that, the initial magnitude of
the force during shift is significantly smaller than the magnitude of
the initial force at the detachment. Therefore, it seems that magnets
are easier to separate with a shift. But the force at shift does the work
on the greater length, and the work of the forces turns out to be the
same in both cases.
If one learns to directly use the domain currents in a magnet, ra-
ther than the fields created by them, for example, so that the magnetic
field of a permanent magnet weakens over time (like weakens the
voltage of an electric battery), then one could try applying released
energy for practical purposes.
In principle, it is possible to raise the question of using not the
kinetics and pressure of the ether, but the energy of its structural ele-
ments or their coupling, but this is another task.
283
However, in it the ether formulas for the parameters of elementary
particles contain the product of the ether density and the velocity.
Therefore, the evaluation of the ether density requires additional re-
search, at that to increase the reliability of the evaluation, it is desira-
ble to consider various physical processes.
This section presents the results of the reference [69], in which a
comparison is made of electromagnetic and mechanical units for
measuring of the ether density; a method has been established for con-
verting physical quantities and formulas from one units of measure-
ment of the ether density to another; value of the undisturbed ether
density has been estimated.
Currently there are no direct measurements of the unperturbed
ether density 𝜌𝜌0 . It is now possible to find the value of 𝜌𝜌0 only with
the help of other quantities known from the experiment. The methods
for determining of 𝜌𝜌0 described here are based on the use of the lim-
iting electric field strength and on data on the geometric dimensions
of the phenomena. Many characteristics of processes are well known
from experiments, at least in order of magnitude. Therefore, one
should expect that the estimate 𝜌𝜌0 found here shows at least the order
of magnitude of the unperturbed ether density.
284
coincide and are expressed in terms of integer powers of the time and
length dimensions (at that, of course, the units of length in the CGS
and SI are different). New unit systems are discussed in appendix 5.
The dimension of the second partial derivative over time from the
ether density 𝜌𝜌 in electromagnetic units coincides with the dimension
of the charge density. Hence, one of the interpretations of the 𝜌𝜌 phys-
ical meaning arises, consisting in the fact that the fluctuations in time
of the ether density at the given point in space determine the charge
density at this point.
At the macro level, it is possible to measure a force. Therefore,
in [41] the dimension of the ether density 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 was introduced as
[g/cm3 ] by analogy with the density in mechanics.
To establish the relationship between physical quantities ex-
pressed in terms of the ether density in various units of measurement,
we introduce a constant equal to the ratio of the numerical value of
the unperturbed ether density 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0, obtained in mechanical units, to
the value 𝜌𝜌0 in electromagnetic units: 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 ≡ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 /𝜌𝜌0 . The constant
𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 in the CGS system (with the absolute Gaussian system) has the
dimension of the volumetric charge density [g 1/2 /(s cm3/2 )]. The
value of 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 is given in sec. 20.7.
Thus, the ether density in the mechanical units 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 is related to
the ether density in the electromagnetic units 𝜌𝜌 as follows:
Here 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 is indeed the constant, since 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 and 𝜌𝜌 are the same physical
concept, the dependence of which over time and space cannot change
with the change in units of measurement.
The expression of a value specified in the CGS electromagnetic
units in terms of mechanical units is reduced to the representation of
the original value using 𝜌𝜌 and replacing 𝜌𝜌 with 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 in this representa-
tion. For example, for the amplitude of the electrical component of an
285
electromagnetic wave with the ether density, measured in electromag-
netic units, the formula 𝐸𝐸𝑎𝑎 = 𝜌𝜌0 𝜈𝜈𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎 [g1/2 /(cm1/2 s)]= [statVolt/
cm] (see. sec. 20.3) is true. Then for the amplitude with the ether den-
sity, measured in mechanical units, we have 𝐸𝐸𝑚𝑚,𝑎𝑎 = 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 𝜈𝜈𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎 [g/
(cm2 s 2 )]. The relation of 𝐸𝐸𝑎𝑎 and 𝐸𝐸𝑚𝑚,𝑎𝑎 follows from the relations
𝐸𝐸𝑎𝑎 /𝜌𝜌0 = 𝜈𝜈𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎 and 𝐸𝐸𝑚𝑚,𝑎𝑎 /𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 = 𝜈𝜈𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎 : 𝐸𝐸𝑚𝑚,𝑎𝑎 = 𝐸𝐸𝑎𝑎 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 /𝜌𝜌0 = 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝐸𝐸𝑎𝑎 .
It can be seen that the mechanical units for measuring of the ether
density are not very convenient for use in electrodynamics, since they
give an unconventional dimension of the electric field strength and
other physical quantities.
20.2. Estimates based on experiments with lasers
In reference [41, p. 80] the ether density was estimated based on
studies with lasers, showing that the maximum values of electric
fields achieved in experiments at which there is no change in the elec-
trodynamic constant are of the order of the values of intra-atomic elec-
tric fields 𝐸𝐸0 ≈ 1011 [V/m] = 3.3 ∙ 106 [statVolt/cm]. In fields that
exceed this value, the processes become highly nonlinear. For the lim-
iting value of electric field strength 𝐸𝐸0 ≈ 1011 [V/m], the density of
the unperturbed ether in mechanical units is [41]

characteristics of the electromagnetic field in it

where 𝐢𝐢𝑥𝑥 , 𝐢𝐢𝑦𝑦 , 𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 are the unit basis vectors of the Cartesian coordinate
system, 𝑐𝑐 is the speed of light, 𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎 is the amplitude of the velocity
oscillations transverse to the 𝑧𝑧 axis, 𝜈𝜈 is the oscillation frequency.
The velocity (220) is divergence free. The ether density at such a
velocity is not perturbed 𝜌𝜌 = 𝜌𝜌0 [52]. This 𝐮𝐮 and 𝜌𝜌 satisfy the ether
equations (1), (2).
By substituting the velocity (220) and 𝜌𝜌 = 𝜌𝜌0 into formulas (20)
and (21), we can verify that the considered ether motion corresponds
to a flat monochromatic circularly polarized electromagnetic wave
with the wave vector 𝐤𝐤 = 𝜈𝜈/𝑐𝑐 𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 , propagating in the direction of the
𝑧𝑧 axis

𝐸𝐸𝑎𝑎 = 𝜌𝜌0 𝜈𝜈𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎 , 𝐵𝐵𝑎𝑎 = 𝜌𝜌0 𝜈𝜈𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎 .
Here, 𝐸𝐸𝑎𝑎 and 𝐵𝐵𝑎𝑎 are the oscillation amplitudes. The transverse veloc-
ity 𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎 is finite, but very small compared to the speed of light.
It is important to note that the etheric representation of the elec-
tromagnetic wave allows to explain a wave-particle duality observed
in experiments, since the velocity vector (220) contains components
corresponding to both the momentum and oscillations (see p. 96).
In the ether model, a photon is represented by a set of electro-
magnetic waves [48], bounded in space by a cylinder with an axis of
symmetry along the 𝑧𝑧 axis. Note that the theory of relativity does not
allow you to define the geometry of an object moving at the speed of
light, since upon its achievement it should turn into a point.
287
The appearance of photons in experiments is often associated
with electrons. So Cherenkov radiation is generated by electrons.
Therefore, we determine the order of the transverse velocity 𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎 from
the condition that the medium passes the distance in the transverse
direction equal to the radius of the electron 𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑒 , for the time 𝑡𝑡 = 2𝜋𝜋/𝜈𝜈,
corresponding to the full rotation of the vector 𝐮𝐮(𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫) in the plane
(𝑥𝑥, 𝑦𝑦): 𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎 = 𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑒 𝜈𝜈/(2𝜋𝜋). The radius of the electron is taken equal to the
radius at which the linear rotation speed with the angular frequency
𝜔𝜔𝑒𝑒 = 𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑒 𝑐𝑐 2 /ℏ reaches the speed of light: 𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑒 = 𝑐𝑐/𝜔𝜔𝑒𝑒 = ℏ/(𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑒 𝑐𝑐) =
3.86 ∙ 10−11 [cm], (𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑒 is equal to the Compton radius of the electron).
Then 𝐸𝐸𝑎𝑎 = 𝜌𝜌0 𝜈𝜈 2 𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑒 /(2𝜋𝜋) whence
We now estimate 𝜌𝜌0 without using data on 𝐸𝐸0 , basing on the for-
mulas for the energy of the electromagnetic wave and the energy of
the photon.
In physics, the volumetric energy density of the electromagnetic
2 2
wave in vacuum is defined as 𝑤𝑤 = �𝐸𝐸total + 𝐵𝐵total �/(8𝜋𝜋) (see, for
288
example: [28, p. 348]). It should be noted that the volume density of
energy obtained from the Maxwell equations in the interpretation of
Hertz [28] is not confirmed experimentally and does not follow from
[41]. However, such a formula for 𝑤𝑤 corresponds to the sum of the
densities of the electric and magnetic energies of the electric current
obtained in sec. 18.7, 18.8. This formula is quite acceptable for esti-
mating the order of magnitude, especially since it is used here in con-
junction with some model assumption about the characteristic photon
volume.
Note that 𝑤𝑤 does not contain a contribution from the velocity
component 𝑐𝑐𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 , since this component disappears in (20) and (21) dur-
ing differentiation. Determination of the electromagnetic field energy
density without taking into account the speed of its propagation, ap-
parently, is caused by the possibility of reliably measuring the energy
of the vibrational component of the ether flow density 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮 (transverse
energetics). To study the energetics of the longitudinal component
𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮, very accurate measurements are necessary, for example, as in ex-
periments on determination of the light pressure.
We take into account that for the velocity 𝐮𝐮 of the photon, the
speed superposition theorem is fulfilled (the sum of the solutions is
also a solution) due to the fact that 𝛁𝛁 ∙ 𝐮𝐮 = 0 [50, 52]. Therefore, in
the photon there can be 𝑁𝑁𝑤𝑤 electromagnetic waves with the total field
strength 𝐸𝐸total = 𝑁𝑁𝑤𝑤 𝐸𝐸 and induction 𝐵𝐵total = 𝑁𝑁𝑤𝑤 𝐵𝐵. For 𝑁𝑁𝑤𝑤 photons,
we have 𝑤𝑤 = 𝜌𝜌02 𝜈𝜈 2 𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎2 𝑁𝑁𝑤𝑤2 /(4𝜋𝜋).
On the other hand, it is experimentally established that the photon
energy is equal to ℎ𝜈𝜈. Then the photon energy density is ℎ𝜈𝜈/𝑉𝑉𝑝𝑝ℎ ,
where 𝑉𝑉𝑝𝑝ℎ is the photon volume.
We have equality
𝜌𝜌02 𝜈𝜈 2 𝑢𝑢𝑎𝑎2 2 ℎ𝜈𝜈

The formula ℎ𝜈𝜈 for photon energy is established in experiments
with light. Therefore, we consider the characteristic frequency of vis-
ible light 𝜈𝜈 = 6 ∙ 1014 [Hz].
The value of 𝑁𝑁𝑤𝑤 is determined by the properties of the radiation
source. If for the light source we assume 𝑁𝑁𝑤𝑤 = 10, then we obtain the
estimate of 𝜌𝜌0 , which is close (by order of magnitude) to the values
(221) and (226), found without using 𝑁𝑁𝑤𝑤 ,
20.4. The estimate from the ether model of the photon and
its momentum
290
We first estimate the density of the unperturbed ether in the me-
chanical units of measurement 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0, basing on the momentum of the
single photon having the volume 𝑉𝑉𝑝𝑝ℎ (222). In the ether model of the
photon (220), the velocity in the direction of its propagation substan-
tially dominates. Therefore, the impulse of the photon consisting of
one electromagnetic wave is approximately equal to 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 𝑐𝑐𝑉𝑉𝑝𝑝ℎ .
Equating the etheric representation of the photon's momentum to
the experimentally established ℎ𝜈𝜈/𝑐𝑐, taking into account the possibil-
ity of superposition of electromagnetic waves in the photon 𝑁𝑁𝑤𝑤 , we
have 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 𝑐𝑐𝑉𝑉𝑝𝑝ℎ 𝑁𝑁𝑤𝑤 = ℎ𝜈𝜈/𝑐𝑐. Hence, using (222),

energy of the body, since the photon energy also goes to increase the
internal energy of the body.
Taking into account discussed above possibility of electromag-
netic waves overlaying in the photon, we have for the number 𝑁𝑁 of
electromagnetic waves falling on a body

𝑁𝑁 = .

The result is the same formula for 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 as at the beginning of this

electron, proton, and neutron. It is shown that the difference between
the theoretical calculated and experimentally obtained values for the
charge, mass, and magnetic moment of the electron and proton is only
~ 0.1%. The same error occurs for the mass and magnetic moment of
the neutron.
Etheric representations of the elementary particles characteristics
contain the product 𝑉𝑉0 𝜌𝜌0 . We obtain the estimate for the parameter
𝑉𝑉0, and then by 𝑉𝑉0 we find 𝜌𝜌0 .
Consider the range of variables in which the radial velocity
𝑉𝑉𝑗𝑗 (𝑡𝑡, 𝑟𝑟, 𝜃𝜃, 𝜑𝜑) [49] of the ether point is directed to the center of the el-
ementary particle 𝑗𝑗 = 𝑒𝑒, 𝑝𝑝

𝑉𝑉𝑗𝑗 (𝜃𝜃) = 𝑉𝑉0 �𝑎𝑎 + sin 𝜃𝜃 + 𝑏𝑏𝑗𝑗 sin(2𝜃𝜃) + 𝑐𝑐𝑗𝑗 sin(3𝜃𝜃)�.
According to the formula (9) from [49], the charge and constant
𝑉𝑉0 have the same sign. Then at −𝜋𝜋/2 < �𝜔𝜔𝑗𝑗 𝑡𝑡 − 𝜑𝜑�/2 < 𝜋𝜋/2 for elec-
trons 𝑗𝑗 = 𝑒𝑒: 𝜃𝜃𝑒𝑒,1 ≤ 𝜃𝜃 ≤ 𝜃𝜃𝑒𝑒,2, 𝜃𝜃𝑒𝑒,1 ≈ 0, 𝜃𝜃𝑒𝑒,2 ≈ 𝜋𝜋/2, and for protons
𝑗𝑗 = 𝑝𝑝: 𝜃𝜃𝑝𝑝,1 ≤ 𝜃𝜃 ≤ 𝜃𝜃𝑝𝑝,2 , 𝜃𝜃𝑝𝑝,1 ≈ 𝜋𝜋/32, 𝜃𝜃𝑒𝑒,2 ≈ 7𝜋𝜋/16 (fig. 9).
The constants 𝑎𝑎, 𝑏𝑏𝑗𝑗 , 𝑐𝑐𝑗𝑗 in the formula for 𝑉𝑉𝑗𝑗 (𝜃𝜃), 𝑗𝑗 = 𝑒𝑒, 𝑝𝑝, are de-
fined by calculating the integrals. The errors of approximations of var-
ious quantities when obtaining estimates should be consistent. There-
fore, we simplify the expression for the radial velocity by replacing 𝑉𝑉𝑗𝑗
by the average over part of the surface, where 𝑉𝑉𝑗𝑗 (𝑡𝑡, 𝑟𝑟, 𝜃𝜃, 𝜑𝜑) < 0,

tion of motion may occur, for example, because of the change in the

the trajectory 𝑟𝑟𝑗𝑗 (𝑡𝑡) shift from the initial position 𝑟𝑟𝑗𝑗2 (0) to the position

So,
Here, the value of the parameter 𝛿𝛿 characterizes the value of the av-
erage displacement of the ether in the radial direction. Additional re-
search is needed to determine the definite value of 𝛿𝛿.

103 [cm/s], |𝑉𝑉0 |/𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 ≈ 8.5 ∙ 106 [cm/s]. Therefore, the assumption
of the small compared with the speed of light radial velocity, used in
obtaining analytical expressions for the ether motion in the elemen-
tary particle [49], is fulfilled with the large margin.
The estimate of the radial velocity in the electron and proton al-
lows us to explain the lower resistance of the electron to the penetra-
tion of objects into it. The average radial velocity of the ether in the
electron is significantly smaller than the average radial velocity of the
ether in the proton. Therefore, the ether in the electron gives a much
smaller radial impulse to an object penetrating into it, providing less
297
resistance. In a muon (electron reduced by ~ 200 times), the radial
ether velocity is ~ 200 larger than in the electron, and in this sense,
the muon has ~200 times greater resistance to penetration than the
electron. This circumstance matches experimental observations [53],
showing a short lifetime of the hydrogen mesic atom.

It is important to note that the reliability of the estimate 𝜌𝜌0 found
is verified by the good agreement of the values obtained for various
physical processes: on the basis of the limiting strength 𝐸𝐸0 (the esti-
mate (221) in sec. 20.3) and the Coulomb barrier (the estimate (226)
in sec. 20.6). The value of 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 is verified by the proximity of the
estimates through 𝐸𝐸0 ((219) in sec. 20.2) and through the photon mo-
mentum ((224) in sec. 20.4), as well as the estimates obtained in sec.
23.6.2, 23.6.3.
Additional new relatively inexpensive experiments to verify the
presence of the ether and estimate the value of its parameters are pro-
posed in the sections of the book, the numbers of which are listed on
p. 584.
The presented results allow us to proceed to a detailed quantita-
tive description of the phenomena of the micro- and macrocosm,
which opens up the possibility of studying the effects that can form
the basis of fundamentally new technical systems for operating with
energy, information, and gravity.
301
The second mistake is to absolutize the value of 𝜀𝜀0 as the world
constant. In fact, the concept of 𝜀𝜀0 appeared only as a result of the
introduction of the fourth unit of measurement in the SI system – the
electric current [A], as independent of the other three units [m], [kg],
[s], and the definition of charge measurement unit [Cl] through [A].
In SI, one [Cl] is assumed to be 10𝑐𝑐 charge units in CGSE, where 𝑐𝑐 is
the speed of light, see, for example: [28, p. 18, 217, 357]. The mean-
ing and value of 𝜀𝜀0 are established by comparison of the Coulomb law
in the SI with the Coulomb law in the CGS [28, p. 357].
Thus, if the unit of the charge [Cl] is introduced in the SI not equal
to 10𝑐𝑐 CGSE, then the value of 𝜀𝜀0 changes. This means that 𝜀𝜀0 is not
the world constant, but only serves for converting CGSE units to SI.
Appendix 5 discusses the redundancy of the SI system from the
mathematical point of view, which leads to the fact that one of the
physical laws, obtained from the experiments, after being written in
the SI requires the introduction of the constant 𝜀𝜀0 or the constant
𝜇𝜇0 for matching the values, which enter this law. For example, the
experimentally known electrostatic Gauss theorem in the CGS (28)
binds the dimensions of two physical quantities – the electric field
strength 𝐄𝐄 and the charge density 𝜎𝜎. Now, if we determine the charge
regardless of the 𝐄𝐄 dimension, then in order to preserve the law (28),
we need to introduce a constant factor in it, which is actually done in
the SI.
The disadvantages of the SI system for describing physical phe-
nomena, as compared with the SGS system, are discussed in detail,
for example, in [28, sec. 85]. It is possible that the SI lobbying was in
particular a commercial project on huge reprint of scientific literature.
Of all the proposed systems of units, the Gaussian system of the
CGS has so far remained the best in physics [28, p. 363]. However,
now it can compete with new systems of measurement units associ-
ated with the ether, which show the unity of the mechanical and elec-
tromagnetic quantities origin, see appendix 5.

21. The structure of the ether carriers – newtonians.
Kinetic effects in the ether and substance
303
In the adiabatic case, when there is no heat exchange in the sys-
tem, a known relationship between medium pressure and density
takes place. For the parameters of the ether by analogy with [27, p.
79] we have
𝑝𝑝0
𝛾𝛾 = 𝑐𝑐 2 ,
𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0
304
allows estimating the mass of the ether particle. This equation carries
additional information to the ether state equation (15) about the behav-
ior of structural elements in the Lagrangian particle of the ether.
The use of the Clapeyron – Mendeleev equation is not too strong
restriction on the class of the processes being studied in the ether,
since it can be obtained by decomposing the equation of state of any
substance in powers of particles density [27, p. 103; 146, ch. 1, sec.
1; 147, ch. 1, sec. 3], and in the case of the ether, the density is small
(228). Besides, the Clapeyron – Mendeleev equation can be inter-
preted as a consequence of the method for constructing the tempera-
ture scale [27, p. 25].
Theoretical methods for the refinement of the original equation of
the state of an ideal gas are discussed in detail in [146], see, for exam-
ple, ch. 4, sec. 6 and ch. 9, sec. 3, where the equation of the state of the
dense medium of solid spheres that do not have attraction forces is con-
sidered. For the characteristic diameter of the ether structural element,
estimated in sec. 21.2, the corresponding correction to the equation of
the state [146, p. 497, the formula (3.1)] turns out to be very small.
However, despite some limitation of generality, the idealized
Clapeyron – Mendeleev model allows one to understand the most im-
portant features of the ether medium behavior and dependencies on
variable parameters, and also, consistently rejecting various simplifi-
cations, find out the specifics of real objects [147], for example, re-
lated to the final dimensions of the ether structural elements.
For one mole of particles, the Clapeyron – Mendeleev equation
has the form [27, p. 25; 36, p. 151]
where 𝑅𝑅� = 8.3144 ∙ 103 [J/(kmol ∙ K)] is the universal gas constant
calculated for one mole (see, for example: [36, p. 151]), 𝑇𝑇� is the tem-
305
perature of the ether (the bar is introduced to distinguish with the des-
ignation of the temperature of macroscopic media 𝑇𝑇), 𝑉𝑉 is the molar
volume. The temperature of the ether here refers to the energy of
translational chaotic motion of the structural elements of the ether –
newtonians introduced into the physics by D.I. Mendeleev, see below.
Due to Avogadro's law (with the same pressures and the same
temperatures, equal volumes of different ideal gases contain the same
number of molecules) 𝑅𝑅� has the same value for different gases [27, p.
25]. Here we assume that the 𝑅𝑅� value is conserved for the ether, since
the main assumption in the model of a loose-granular medium, alike
gas, is the absence of strong bonds between particles [36, p. 150].
Let us denote the molar mass of the ether particles by 𝑀𝑀э ("э" is
from "ether" in Russian: "эфир"). It can be expressed through the den-
sity of the unperturbed ether 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 (228) and the molar volume 𝑉𝑉
𝑅𝑅�
𝑝𝑝 = 𝜌𝜌 𝑇𝑇�. (232)
𝑀𝑀э 𝑚𝑚,0
Let us take for the expressed in degrees ether energy the temper-
ature of the so-called relict radiation 𝑇𝑇� = 2.73 [𝐾𝐾], see. [142–145],
which, together with the speed of light, is a reliable macroscopic char-
acteristic of the vacuum. Then 𝑀𝑀э ≈ 4.1 ∙ 10−13 [kg/kmol] at 𝑝𝑝 =
𝑝𝑝0 . The Clapeyron – Mendeleev equation is written for one mole of
particles equal to the Avogadro number 𝑁𝑁𝐴𝐴 = 6.02214 ∙ 1026 [1/
kmol]. Then for the mass of one ether particle we get 𝑚𝑚э = 𝑀𝑀э /𝑁𝑁𝐴𝐴 .
Thus, the mass of the ether particle in the gas-dynamic model
analogue of its structure is equal to
306
𝑚𝑚э ≈ 6.8 ∙ 10−40 [kg] = 4.1 ∙ 10−13 𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 , (233)
where 𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 is the proton mass. This result is both qualitatively and in
principle quantitatively agrees with D.I. Mendeleev conclusion [54],
that if the ether particle exists, then it has a much smaller mass than
the hydrogen atom. He called this particle “newtonian” and estimated
its mass as ~5 ∙ 10−11 𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 .
We emphasize that the introduction of the mass of one newtonian
𝑚𝑚э means the transition from the model of mechanics of the continu-
ous ether medium to the model of its individual structural elements.
In the continuous model, for example, when calculating a pressure, it
is more adequate to consider not the mass of one newtonian 𝑚𝑚э , but
the mass of a large number of newtonians, for example, the molar
mass 𝑀𝑀э (figuring in the Clapeyron – Mendeleev equation (232)),
since in sec. 16.2 and 17.2 the gravitational mass of the object is in-
troduced as a coefficient in the formula for the impact of the ether
pressure gradient on the object of a continuous medium, containing
many structural elements of this medium.
In sec. 16.2, the principle of equivalence of the gravitational and
inert masses of the object is also discussed. When building a model
of an individual structural element of the ether (newtonian), its mass
𝑚𝑚э can also be interpreted as the gravitational, characterizing the be-
havior of trial newtonian in the gravitational ether flow, and as the
inert one, characterizing the acceleration of the newtonian under the
action of a force applied to it.
We will estimate the characteristic radius of the newtonian on the
basis of the proton ether model structure. It is known from experi-
ments that the proton has a positive charge and possesses the proper-
ties of a rotating object. Mathematically, this object can be described
by a vortex sink, that is, a vortex in the ether, the speed of which has
a non-zero component directed to the axis of the vortex (see the ex-
ample of a vortex sink and vortex source in [140, p. 241, 242]). The
307
reduced pressure from within of such a vortex near its boundary cor-
responds to a positive charge (see. sec. 18.13). The shape of the vortex
border (fur coat) when estimating the size of the newtonian is not very
important. It can be a sphere, an ellipsoid, a cylindrical object or a
"pancake". It is important that in the proton model, both the pressure
gradient (217) and the radial velocity move the ether to the axis of
rotation, as a result of which newtonians are accumulated on it.
The presence in the proton of a central region with a very high
mass density is observed experimentally, see, for example, the review
[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton] and the literature cited there. In the
mathematical model of this phenomenon, we will assume that a rod
(core or kern) of length 2𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝,𝑘𝑘 is formed on the axis of the proton rota-
tion, in which the proton mass is concentrated. Assume that in the
core the linear mass density 𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 /(2𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝,𝑘𝑘 ) is so high that it cannot be
further noticeably increased without external influence. Then the
characteristic diameter of newtonian 2𝑟𝑟э can be estimated from the
limit 𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 → 𝑚𝑚э , 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝,𝑘𝑘 → 𝑟𝑟э at the condition that the linear density of the
core 𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 /(2𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝,𝑘𝑘 ) is constant:
𝑚𝑚э 𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝
= 𝑚𝑚lim = .
2𝑟𝑟э 𝑝𝑝 →𝑚𝑚э 2𝑟𝑟
𝑝𝑝 2𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝,𝑘𝑘
𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝,𝑘𝑘 →𝑟𝑟э
From here
𝑚𝑚э
𝑟𝑟э = 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝,𝑘𝑘 .
𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝
308
length 2𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝,𝑘𝑘 ~ 2𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 . As the characteristic vortex radius 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 it is natural
to take the distance from the axis of rotation, at which the linear ve-
locity of rotation is close to the speed of light 𝑐𝑐. This choice is caused
by the fact that 𝑐𝑐, being the speed of disturbances free propagation in
the ether, is not exceeded under typical conditions without external
influences, and therefore limits the magnitude of the linear velocity in
the ether vortex. The searched radius of the proton vortex 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 corre-
sponds to the Compton radius of the proton 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 = ℏ/(𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 𝑐𝑐). It is on
the Compton radius that the linear rotational velocity with the angular
frequency 𝜔𝜔𝑝𝑝 = 2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋, determined from the proton energy ℎ𝜈𝜈 =
𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 𝑐𝑐 2, reaches the speed of light: 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 = 𝑐𝑐/𝜔𝜔𝑝𝑝 = 𝑐𝑐/(2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋) = ℎ𝑐𝑐/
(2𝜋𝜋𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 𝑐𝑐 2 ) = ℏ/(𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 𝑐𝑐).
So,
𝑟𝑟э ≈ 4.1 ∙ 10−13 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 ;
(234)
𝑟𝑟э ≈ 8.6 ∙ 10−27 [cm], if 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 = ℏ/(𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 𝑐𝑐).
Thus, in the volume of the proton one can place up to 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝3 /𝑟𝑟э3 =
1037 newtonians. This means, for example, that there are enormous
opportunities in the ether to organize various structural elements and
information structures even at a distance of the order of the proton
radius.
The small size of newtonians substantiates the possibility of us-
ing the continuous media model to describe the ether up to the dis-
tance of ~4.1 ∙ 10−12 of the proton radius, since in the volume corre-
sponding to this distance (in Lagrangian particle) one can place about
(4.1 ∙ 10−12 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 )3 /(4.1 ∙ 10−13 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 )3 = 103 newtonians, which is suffi-
cient to satisfy the requirement of media continuity.
The average distance between newtonians 𝑟𝑟∗ depends on the spe-
cific conditions in which the ether exists.
For example, 𝑟𝑟∗ in the proton can be estimated from the fact that,
according to (233), the proton should contain 𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 /𝑚𝑚э ≈ 2.4 ∙ 1012
309
newtonians. An estimate of 𝑟𝑟∗ from below is obtained under the lim-
iting assumption that all newtonians in the proton are in the core. Then
the distance between them is of the order 𝑟𝑟∗ ~ 2𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 /(𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 /𝑚𝑚э ) ≈ 2 ∙
8.6 ∙ 10−27 [cm], that is, the order of the characteristic newtonian di-
ameter 2𝑟𝑟э . An estimate of 𝑟𝑟∗ from above can be obtained by taking
the sphere with Compton radius 𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝 (234) for the shape of the proton.
Then the average volume per one newtonian is: 𝑉𝑉𝑝𝑝 /(𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 /𝑚𝑚э ), 𝑉𝑉𝑝𝑝 =
4𝜋𝜋𝑟𝑟𝑝𝑝3 /3. If this average volume is represented as a cube, then the dis-
tance between the centers of neighboring cubes (newtonians) will be
equal to the length of the cube edge 𝑟𝑟∗ ~ (𝑉𝑉𝑝𝑝 /(𝑚𝑚𝑝𝑝 /𝑚𝑚э ))1/3 ≈ 2.9 ∙
10−18 [cm]. Of course, such an estimate is very much overestimated,
since in the considered model of the proton, newtonians are concen-
trated in its core, which has a linear shape.
It would seem that the average distance between newtonians 𝑟𝑟∗ in
the unperturbed ether can be estimated by analogy with [30, p. 17]
based on the known concentration 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 /𝑚𝑚э , defined by the values
𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 (228) and 𝑚𝑚э (233): 𝑟𝑟∗ ~ 1/ 3�𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 /𝑚𝑚э ≈ 7.0⋅10−10 [cm]. How-
ever, such an assessment is generally incorrect, since it assumes the
existence of an established distribution of newtonians in space. This
assumption is not appropriate to the very high penetrating capability
of the ether, which is difficult to limit to any vessel where the behavior
of gases is usually considered. Besides, it is possible that in the un-
perturbed ether, areas of condensation and rarefaction of newtonians
may form as a result of their chaotic motion in unlimited space, espe-
cially if newtonians have no repulsive forces. In other words, the un-
perturbed ether has a certain average mass density 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0, but the aver-
age distance between newtonians in it is generally undefined, as in the
gas provided to itself. However, the low thermal conductivity of the
vacuum known from experiments allows us to estimate from above
the average free path of newtonians in the unperturbed ether (258).

be introduced by various ways. In this book, we consistently use the
definition of the kinetic energy density at the instantaneous generation
of motion from a state of rest, see sec. 1.4. We apply this approach to
the newtonian of mass 𝑚𝑚э . For the kinetic energy of its translational
motion we get
𝜀𝜀 = 𝑚𝑚э 𝐯𝐯 2 . (235)
In physics, the formula 𝜀𝜀1/2 = 𝑚𝑚э 𝐯𝐯 2 /2 is used for the kinetic en-
ergy of the translational motion of the medium structural element cen-
ter of mass. Accordingly, its average kinetic energy is 𝜀𝜀1/2,𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 =
𝑚𝑚э 〈𝐯𝐯 2 〉/2, where 〈∙〉 is the sum over all structural elements in a unit
volume divided by the number of these elements, see, for example:
[27, sec. 63]. For the measure of the kinetic temperature, two thirds
of the average kinetic energy of the medium element translational mo-
tion Θ = 2𝜀𝜀1/2,𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 /3 is selected and it is shown [27, p. 197], that in
this case the kinetic temperature Θ and the absolute thermodynamic
temperature 𝑇𝑇 are related by the equation Θ = 𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘, where 𝑘𝑘 = 𝑅𝑅� /𝑁𝑁𝐴𝐴
is the Boltzmann constant.
If the kinetic energy of the newtonian translational motion is cal-
culated by the formula (235), then for the average kinetic energy we
obtain 𝜀𝜀𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 = 𝑚𝑚э 〈𝐯𝐯 2 〉. Then, by analogy with [27, p. 190], in order to
preserve the relation Θ = 𝑘𝑘𝑇𝑇�, one should define Θ as Θ = 𝜀𝜀𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 /3 (see
also [27, p. 194] for variations of the formula relating the gas pressure
and the energy density). From here

By analogy with the propagation of sound in matter, this explains the
possibility of free propagation of disturbances in the ether namely
with the speed of light.
At 𝑇𝑇� = 2.7 [K], the average kinetic energy is 𝜀𝜀𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 = 3𝑘𝑘𝑇𝑇� =
1.12 ∙ 10−40 [erg] = 1.81𝑚𝑚э 𝑐𝑐 2 . Hence, 𝑚𝑚э 𝑐𝑐 2 = 1.65𝑘𝑘𝑇𝑇� at 𝑇𝑇� =
2.7 [K]. This is the reason for the discrepancy by 1.65 times between
the mass of the newtonian 𝑚𝑚э (233) found above on the basis of suc-
cessive reasoning and M.Ya. Ivanov [153] estimate 𝑚𝑚 � э ≈ 4.2 ∙
10 −40 [kg] 2 � �
from the formal condition 𝑚𝑚э 𝑐𝑐 = 𝑘𝑘𝑇𝑇 at 𝑇𝑇 = 2.7 [𝐾𝐾].
In the case of simultaneous chaotic thermal motion and direc-
tional motion of newtonians with a given average velocity 𝐯𝐯0 =
𝐯𝐯0 (𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫) , their velocity distribution is found as the equilibrium solu-
tion of the Boltzmann equation
2
𝑓𝑓̃(𝐯𝐯) = 𝐴𝐴𝑒𝑒 −𝛼𝛼(𝐯𝐯−𝛃𝛃) , (238)
where the values of 𝐴𝐴, 𝛼𝛼, 𝛽𝛽 are set from the normalization condition
of 𝑓𝑓̃(𝐯𝐯) on unit, the known average velocity 𝐯𝐯0 and the definition of
temperature, see, for example [38, sec. 6.3]:

cussed above. However, formulas change for the most probable speed

local equilibrium microregions is determined by the free path of parti-
cles, on which their inherent properties are preserved. Therefore, de-
spite the enormous particle speeds, the transfer of the properties of the
medium occurs sequentially from the microregion into the microre-
gion and is usually a much slower process. Mathematically, this hy-
pothesis is expressed in the fact that the speed of heat propagation is
determined not only by the average heat velocity of the medium ele-
ments movement, but also by the gradients of temperature and density.
In a fairly wide class of non-equilibrium systems, where the mean
free path of particles is much smaller than the characteristic size of
medium inhomogeneity, the particle distribution over velocities at
each point in space can be considered close to Maxwell, although the
value of temperature over volume is not constant. In the general case,
the velocity distribution of particles is not Maxwellian.
The idea of sequential adaptation of particles to the properties of
the medium at those points in space where their next collision occurs is
the basis of most kinetic calculations of transport phenomena [147, p.
120]. But these calculations themselves can be performed at different
levels of rigor, depending on how fully the various details of the phe-
nomenon are taken into account. In [147, ch. 1, sec. 16, ch. 4, sec. 32;
27, sec. 89–92; 146, ch. 1, sec. 2; 148, ch. 4; 149, sec. 52] transport
coefficients (thermal conductivity, viscosity, diffusion) are obtained by
considering the motion of medium particles in the characteristic time
interval between two successive collisions. In [146, ch. 7, sec. 1–4, ch.
8, ch. 9] the transport coefficients are calculated on the basis of the so-
lution of the Boltzmann equation or the model of classical statistical
mechanics [146, ch. 9, sec. 4]. In [147; 150; 146, ch. 1, sec. 3, ch. 13;
27, sec. 69] account is taken of the interaction between the particles of
the media, the presence of particles internal degrees of freedom (vibra-
tional, rotational, etc.), as well as various processes in the media.
The equations of continuous media mechanics in differential
form, including the ether equations (1)–(6), are not applicable for de-
scribing the trajectories of Lagrangian particles with kinks (bends),
316
since derivatives are not defined on kinks. Theoretically, it would be
possible to use the model of a continuous media in integral form by
analogy, for example, with [10, p. 55], but with such an approach it
will be necessary to solve integral equations, which is a much more
complicated problem than the solution of differential equations. In
continuous media mechanics, instead of applying an integral form, the
equations of continuity and motion in a differential form are supple-
mented with the equation of state or an energy equation (see, for ex-
ample: [14, ch. 5, sec. 8 and ch. 7, p. 395]), which contains in the
averaged form description of the behavior of medium structural ele-
ments under consideration. The equation of state in physics is deter-
mined either from experiments or from the theory of structural ele-
ments dynamics, in particular, statistical physics [146, 38].
The question of the ether structural elements properties and the
details of their interaction with each other remains open. Under such
conditions, it is natural to begin the study of the ether structural ele-
ments behavior basing on the analogy with known media. In sec. 21.2,
the parameters of the ether carriers (particles) are estimated under the
assumption that they behave like a flowing (loose-granular) medium
similar to a monatomic gas. Such particles, following D.I. Mendeleev
[54], are called newtonians.
The state of a gas from solid particles (analogue of a flowing
(loose-granular) medium) in the simplest case is described by the
Clapeyron – Mendeleev equation. This equation for ν moles of the
medium particles has the form [27, p. 25; 36, p. 151]
317
𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝑉𝑉
ν= ,
𝑀𝑀э
where 𝑀𝑀э is the molar mass of newtonians (particles of the ether), see
sec. 21.2.
Substituting ν into (241), we obtain for the ether
𝑅𝑅�
𝑝𝑝 = 𝜌𝜌 𝑇𝑇�. (242)
𝑀𝑀э 𝑚𝑚
Using 𝑀𝑀э = 𝑚𝑚э 𝑁𝑁𝐴𝐴 and the known relationship 𝑅𝑅� = 𝑘𝑘𝑁𝑁𝐴𝐴 , where
𝑘𝑘 = 1.3807 ∙ 10−23 [J/K] = 1.3807 ∙ 10−16 [erg/K] is the Boltz-
mann constant, 𝑁𝑁𝐴𝐴 = 6.02214 ∙ 1023 [1/mol] is the Avogadro num-
ber, equations (241) and (242) can be written in the form
𝑘𝑘
𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 = ν𝑘𝑘𝑁𝑁𝐴𝐴 𝑇𝑇�, 𝑝𝑝 = 𝜌𝜌 𝑇𝑇�. (243)

theory, the temperature of newtonians is defined by their thermal con-
ductivity, convection, and other processes and may differ signifi-
cantly from the temperature around the object. Therefore, further in
the formula (242) we will use the notation 𝑇𝑇�, emphasizing that we are
talking about the temperature of the ether.
The greatest interest in the ether is the case of a high concentra-
tion of newtonians, since, apparently, it is the basis of the objects and
processes available for observation. The phenomena of transport in
concentrated (dense) media are considered in [146, ch. 9; 147, ch. 4,
sec. 32]. In such media, the main transport mechanism is the collision
of the medium particles and the increase in the collision frequency
[146, p. 480, 497].
We note the advantage of the approach [147, ch.1, sec.16 and ch.
4, sec. 32] for the transport coefficients calculating, at which the pro-
portionality of the flow to the gradient in the transport laws is not
postulated, but derived in the process of reasoning. Besides, this ap-
proach allows obtaining a more general result, for example, to take
into account the heat transfer caused by the particle concentration gra-
dient [147, p. 128].
We will begin the transport processes study with a simple model
based on considering the newtonians motion between two successive
collisions.
319
The thermal conductivity coefficient of the ether can be obtained
by repeating the kinetic reasoning [27, p. 334–340; 146, ch. 1, sec. 2]
for newtonians, taking into account, possibly, their high concentration
[146, ch. 9; 147, ch. 4, sec. 32] or by analogy with [150, sec. 2.4], but
considering the Boltzmann equation modified for dense media [146,
p. 497–499].
However, in order to demonstrate the relation of the heat transfer
phenomenon in the ether to the initial postulates of the ether theory,
let us construct here the heat transfer model, using the ether equation
of state (15), obtained from the law of momentum conservation, and
an analogy with a flowing (loose-granular) medium. Under the heat,
as above, we will understand the energy of the translational chaotic
motion of newtonians. As will be shown below, the formula for the
ether thermal conductivity in such a description of the heat transfer
process is exactly the same in appearance as the result of a direct anal-
ysis of the newtonians kinetics using known approaches. Such a co-
incidence shows accordance to each other of the model, based on the
ether equation of state (15), and the model of the kinetic description
of newtonians.
Besides, we take into account the possible presence of a non-zero
velocity of the newtonians directional motion. Such a generalization
will be needed in sec. 21.11.
Heat transfer in a substance is discussed at the end of this section
and in sec. 21.6.
The equation (15) is obtained for a Lagrangian particle, which
includes a large number of newtonians. Take the limit from (15), di-
recting the volume of the Lagrangian particle to the volume of the
newtonian at fixed 𝑝𝑝 and 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 . In the result we obtain the equation for
one newtonian, which coincides in appearance with the original equa-
tion (15), since the volume is not included into the equation (15), (the
equation (15), is written at the point of the medium):
320
Here 𝑝𝑝 is the pressure created by one newtonian in the media of new-
tonians, 𝐮𝐮 is the velocity of newtonians, 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 is the ether density in
mechanical units: 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 = 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝜌𝜌 (sec. 20.1).
Let us consider a fairly general case when the newtonian velocity
𝐮𝐮 is the sum of the chaotic thermal motion velocity 𝐮𝐮х and the given
average velocity of the directional motion 𝐮𝐮0 :

where 𝑝𝑝̅ is the average pressure created by the newtonian, 𝐮𝐮
culated by the formula (246).
So, the average pressure in the ether (energy density) 𝑝𝑝̅, created
by one newtonian in the presence of chaotic thermal and directional
motion, is
322
to this point from the opposite direction −𝐢𝐢𝐡𝐡𝐡𝐡 . In sum, the particles at
this point have the density 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 /3.
Thus, created by the newtonian pressure 𝑝𝑝𝐡𝐡𝐡𝐡 , associated with the
transfer of heat and translational motion in the direction 𝐢𝐢𝐡𝐡𝐡𝐡 , is
where 𝒜𝒜̅𝐡𝐡𝐡𝐡 is the average energy density of heat and translational mo-
tion of newtonians involved in heat transfer in the direction of 𝐢𝐢𝐡𝐡𝐡𝐡 ,

𝐫𝐫̅ (𝑡𝑡), corresponding to the average velocity 𝐮𝐮

Taking from (248) the full time derivative on the trajectory 𝐫𝐫̅ (𝑡𝑡),
we obtain the power density of the chaotic and translational thermal
flow carried by the newtonian along this trajectory

where 𝑚𝑚э is the newtonian mass (see sec. 21.2). We emphasize that
the formula (250) takes into account the heat transfer caused by the
density gradient (see the discussion in [147, p. 128]), as well as the
possible presence of directional motion with an average velocity 𝐮𝐮0 .
For a flowing (loose-granular) medium, by analogy with an ideal
monatomic gas, it is possible to calculate the specific heat capacity at
the constant volume 𝑐𝑐𝑣𝑣 [27, p. 213; 121, p. 197]. Taking into account
the introduction in the ether of the translational motion energy by the
formula (235) (without the factor 1/2), we have
𝑅𝑅� 𝑘𝑘
𝑐𝑐𝑣𝑣 = 3 =3 ,
𝑀𝑀э 𝑚𝑚э
where 𝑀𝑀э is the molar mass of newtonians, 𝑚𝑚э is the mass of one
newtonian.
Then

The ether heat capacity 𝑐𝑐𝑣𝑣 depends only on universal constants:

For comparison, the heat capacity of air at 300 [𝐾𝐾] and atmos-
pheric pressure is 𝑐𝑐𝑝𝑝 ≈ 103 [J/(kg ∙ K)], see. [121, p. 218]. Analyzing
the data [121, ch. 9], we conclude that the heat capacity of the ether
by 12–13 orders of magnitude exceeds the heat capacities of ordinary
substances. That is, to change the ether temperature by unit, it is nec-
essary to transfer to its unit mass the amount of heat by 1012 –1013
times greater than to the ordinary substance. This means that the tem-
perature of the ether is difficult to change and it is actually a thermo-
stat. The colossal heat capacity of the ether can be tried to be used for
practical purposes.
With 𝑐𝑐𝑝𝑝 and 𝑐𝑐𝑣𝑣 we calculate the adiabatic index of the ether
𝑐𝑐𝑝𝑝 4
𝛾𝛾 = = ≈ 1.33.
𝑐𝑐𝑣𝑣 3
The value 𝛾𝛾 = 5/3 ≈ 1.67 was applied in sec. 21.1 for the ether.
Using the coefficient 4/3 ≈ 1.33 instead of 5/3 slightly increases the
estimate of the unperturbed ether pressure (230)

the newtonians 𝑟𝑟∗ (256) by 4–5 orders of magnitude does not change
this conclusion in principle.
Measurement of the ether thermal conductivity coefficient 𝜒𝜒 in
the experiment will confirm the model of the ether structure and will
provide an opportunity to evaluate one or other of its parameters en-
tering the formula (254). But already now, basing on the experimental
fact of the low thermal conductivity of the vacuum, we can conclude
that the newtonians mean free path 𝜆𝜆̅ should be smaller than 105 radii
of the newtonian 𝑟𝑟э (234), that is very small by ordinary standards:
329
then, depending on the law of interaction with newtonians, they can
change the chaotic motion of all newtonians in this volume.
The weak relation of the newtonians chaotic motion with the cha-
otic motion of the macroscopic structural elements of a substance un-
der ordinary conditions is confirmed by experiments. In the equilib-
rium unperturbed state, the pressure of the ether ~1.1 ∙ 1011 [Pa]
(230) and the pressure created on the Earth by macroscopic objects
~105 [Pa] turn out to be practically independent of each other. That
is, the Dalton's law is not applicable to a mixture of newtonians and
macroscopic objects under normal conditions: the pressure of a mix-
ture of ideal gases is equal to the sum of their partial pressures [36, p.
152; 27, p. 34].
Thus, in the case of a strong difference in the size of atoms (mol-
ecules) and newtonians and large distances between atoms compared
to the size of the newtonian, the chaotic motion of atoms and newto-
nians can be studied almost independently of each other. In particular,
in this case, a mixture of the newtonians and macroscopic objects can-
not be considered as a mixture of gases.
It follows from this conclusion that a noticeable effect on the ther-
modynamic parameters of the newtonians can provide, for example,
the movement or rotation of a material in which the effective distance
between its structural elements makes it difficult for the newtonians
to move between them, for example, it becomes comparable with the
characteristic microkinetics of the newtonians. The search or creation
of such materials is an important technical problem, the solution of
which opens the way to mastering new ether technologies, including
gravity.
We note that now well known are the methods of influence on
the motion of the newtonians with the help of magnetic objects, which
create a macroscopic vorticity of the ether (magnets), or charged ob-
jects, which create a macroscopic transport current of the ether. Cor-
responding technologies are widely used in practice.

21.6. Heat transfer in solid matter
331
the electron theory of metals conductivity, in which the interaction of
electrons with each other is neglected, and only their interaction with
the structural elements (atoms) of the metal is taken into account [34,
sec. 147–150, p. 336; 36, p. 376–378].
This section and sections 21.7 and 21.8 show that the effects of
heat conduction, viscosity and self-diffusion in the ether are ex-
tremely small compared with similar effects in substances. Therefore,
the transfer of kinetic energy between the structural elements of a
crystal by means of thermal quanta can go almost without losses. As
a result, if the energy of thermal quanta is not spent on increasing the
internal energy of structural elements, then the thermal kinetic energy
of a crystal in the vacuum is lost mainly due to the departure of ther-
mal quanta beyond its boundary. Such a departure explains from the
standpoint of the ether theory the thermal radiation of objects ob-
served in experiments and the possibility of practically unobstructed
penetration of this radiation through some obstacles.
In the simplest model, we represent a thermal quantum in the
form of a cylinder with a radius 𝑟𝑟̅𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 , equal to the radius of the sub-
stance’s structural element and a height ℎ�𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 , equal to the average path
length of the structural element from the mean to the extreme position.
The value of ℎ�𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 can be estimated from above by the characteristic
value of the deformation of the crystal lattice, at which its destruction
occurs. This value usually has a scale of ~10 − 30 % of the linear
size of the sample, see, for example, the ratio 𝛿𝛿 of the absolute resid-
ual elongation of the sample after rupture to the initial length in [121,
ch. 3, tab. 3.2–3.22]. Therefore, for non-extremal temperatures, ℎ�𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 is
a small fraction of the characteristic distance between the elements of
the crystal lattice or a fraction of the characteristic radius of the struc-
tural element. The ether mass in the thermal quantum of volume 𝑉𝑉�𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 =
2 �
𝜋𝜋𝑟𝑟𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 ℎ𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 with the density 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ is equal to
332
Basing on the equation (15) for the Lagrangian particle in the
form of the thermal quantum and applying the reasoning used to de-
rive the ether thermal conductivity coefficient (250), (251), we arrive
at a similar formula for the thermal conductivity coefficient of a crys-
talline medium in which the heat transfer is carried out by the thermal
quanta

𝑢𝑢�х,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 = �3𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘/𝑚𝑚se , 𝜆𝜆̅𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 = 𝑢𝑢�𝐡𝐡𝐡𝐡,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑,
where 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 , 𝑢𝑢�х,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 , 𝜆𝜆̅𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 , 𝑐𝑐𝑣𝑣,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 , 𝐮𝐮0,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 are respectively the density, the
average speed of the chaotic thermal motion, the mean free path, heat
capacity and the average speed of the directional motion of the ther-
mal quanta. The analogy with the creation of a gas flow by the piston
allowed us to take the average speed of random motion of a thermal
quantum 𝑢𝑢�х,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 equal to the mean square velocity of random motion
(237) of the structural element of the crystal lattice having mass 𝑚𝑚se
and temperature 𝑇𝑇.
Account of the average speed of directional motion of the thermal
quanta will be important in sec. 21.11, 23.5.
Thus, relations (260) establish a correspondence between the
macroscopic characteristics of thermal processes in a crystal and the
ether flow.
Let us estimate the coefficient of thermal conductivity of copper
with the formula (260).
The thermal quantum is created by a shift of the ether during a
chaotic thermal oscillation of the structural element of a solid-state
crystal lattice. These oscillations occur at different speeds, therefore,
the generated thermal quanta have different speeds. We estimate the
333
concentration of the thermal quanta 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 /𝑀𝑀𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 under the assumption
that on average one copper atom is relevant to about one thermal
quantum, which has an average speed of random thermal motion cor-
responding to the temperature 𝑇𝑇: 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 /𝑀𝑀𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 ~ 𝑛𝑛Cu ≈ 8.5⋅1022 [1/
cm3 ], where the concentration of atoms in copper 𝑛𝑛Cu is considered
in sec. 23.6.1, p. 441.
The validity of the estimate 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 /𝑀𝑀𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 ~ 𝑛𝑛Cu can be checked by
calculating the thermal quantum length ℎ�𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 and comparing it with the
characteristic deviation of the atom with thermal oscillations of
2 �
~10 − 30 % of the atom radius. From the formula (259) 𝜋𝜋𝑟𝑟𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 ℎ𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 =
� 2
𝑀𝑀𝑡𝑡𝑞𝑞 /𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ at 𝑀𝑀𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 /𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 ~ 1/𝑛𝑛Cu we find ℎ𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 ~ 1/(𝜋𝜋𝑟𝑟𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 𝑛𝑛Cu ). For
the copper atom radius 𝑟𝑟Cu ≈ 1.28⋅10−8 [cm] and 𝑟𝑟̅𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 ~ 𝑟𝑟Cu we get
ℎ�𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 ~ 7.3⋅10−9 [cm], which is comparable to the distance traveled by
the atom at generation of the thermal quantum.
The mean free path 𝜆𝜆̅𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 of the thermal quantum is determined by
the law of its interaction with the element of the crystal lattice and its
geometry. The problem of accurately calculating 𝜆𝜆̅𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 is a matter for
the future, since it requires the construction of the ether model of an
atom. At present we estimate 𝜆𝜆̅𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 , assuming that the speed of the ther-
mal quantum decays at a distance of the order of the characteristic
size of crystal granules in copper 𝜆𝜆̅𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 ~ 0.7 ∙ 10−4 [cm].
Then 𝜒𝜒𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡,Cu = 𝑘𝑘(𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 /𝑀𝑀𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 )𝑢𝑢�𝐡𝐡𝐡𝐡,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 𝜆𝜆̅𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 ~ 2.8 ∙ 107 [erg/(s ∙
cm ∙ K)], which matches the tabular value 𝜒𝜒𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡,Cu ~ 4.01 ∙ 107 [erg/
(s ∙ cm ∙ K))], obtained by the Wiedemann – Franz formula in [121,
p. 342]. When comparing, it should be borne in mind that in the range
of non-extreme temperatures, the Wiedemann – Franz formula gives
overestimated values of the thermal conductivity for pure metals and
underestimated for alloys, see details in [121, p. 339].
Measurement of the temperature of a solid body occurs by regis-
tering the energy transferred by the thermal quanta, since there is
334
practically no direct contact of the lattice nodes of the measuring ele-
ment with the lattice nodes of the body. Therefore, the formula 𝑐𝑐𝑣𝑣,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 =
3𝑘𝑘/𝑀𝑀𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 (260) allows to find the mass of the thermal quantum 𝑀𝑀𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 by
the known heat capacity at a constant volume 𝑐𝑐𝑣𝑣,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 . In [121, p. 199]
heat capacities are presented at constant pressure 𝑐𝑐𝑝𝑝,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 . Accounting
the relationship between 𝑐𝑐𝑣𝑣,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 and 𝑐𝑐𝑝𝑝,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 , analogical to (252), we find
𝑀𝑀𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 = 4𝑘𝑘/𝑐𝑐𝑝𝑝,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 . For the mass of the thermal quantum in copper, we
obtain 𝑀𝑀𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡,Cu = 2.26 ∙ 10−21 [g].
We emphasize once again that there is no simple relationship be-
tween the mass of the object and the mass of the ether in it, since the
mass of the object (179) is determined by the emergence of the gen-
eralized Zhukovsky force.
Note that resonant influencing directly on the thermal quanta can
transfer a substance to a plasma or atomized state.
335
fairly well described by the molecular kinetic theory, see, for exam-
ple: [27, sec. 89; 146]. We study the viscosity of the ether by analogy
with the molecular kinetic approach. The equation of the ether state,
on the basis of which the ether thermal conductivity coefficient is ob-
tained in sec. 21.5, is not directly used here, since it describes the en-
ergy density of newtonians, and when studying viscosity it is neces-
sary to consider their momentum.
Repeating for the newtonians kinetic reasoning in the model of a
particle as a hard sphere [147, p. 122, 123; 27, p. 334–339; 146, ch.
1, sec. 2], we arrive at the following formula (see also [36, p. 211])
for the coefficient of internal friction of the ether
1
𝜂𝜂 = 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝑢𝑢�х 𝜆𝜆̅,
3
where 𝑢𝑢�х is the mean square speed of newtonians thermal motion
(246), 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 is the density of the ether, 𝜆𝜆̅ is the newtonians average free
path. We note that the averaging in the formula (89.5) from [27, p.
339] on a constant time interval 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 leads precisely to the mean square
speed: 〈𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣〉 = 〈𝑣𝑣 2 〉𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 𝑣𝑣̅ 2 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 𝑣𝑣̅ 𝜆𝜆̅, 𝜆𝜆̅ ≡ 𝑣𝑣̅ 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑. However, in phys-
ics, the mean and mean square speeds are usually not distinguished,
see, for example: [27, p. 191, 253, 262; 28, p. 186; 36, p. 207].
In the condensed newtonians medium 𝜆𝜆̅ has the order of the new-
tonian radius 𝜆𝜆̅ ~ 𝑟𝑟э (256). A more accurate calculation of 𝜂𝜂 in this
case requires careful consideration of the media structure reorganiza-
tion details, see, for example: [147, p. 272–278].
From (251), as in physics [27, p. 340], we get
𝜒𝜒
= 𝑐𝑐𝑣𝑣 .
𝜂𝜂
A more rigorous theory of the gas consisting of hard spheres noticea-
bly refines the coefficient in this relation [147, p. 125].
Let’s calculate 𝜂𝜂 at 𝜆𝜆̅ ~ 3𝑟𝑟э (256)
336
𝜂𝜂 ~ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝑢𝑢�х 𝑟𝑟э .
337
1
𝐷𝐷 = 𝑢𝑢� 𝜆𝜆̅,
3 х
where 𝜂𝜂 is the coefficient of the ether viscosity, see sec. 21.7, 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 is
the ether density, 𝜒𝜒 is the coefficient of the ether thermal conductivity
(251) at 𝑢𝑢0 = 0. A more rigorous theory of the gas from hard spheres
noticeably refines the coefficients in these relations [147, p. 125].
A more accurate calculation of the diffusion flow [147, p. 125–
129] allows one to describe the so-called thermal diffusion, which dif-
fers from the ordinary diffusion in that particles (in particular, newto-
nians) rush from hot places to cold ones due to a higher rate of motion,
and not due to quantitative predominance.
The calculation of the diffusion coefficient in the concentrated
medium, when the mean free path 𝜆𝜆̅ is of the order of the media par-
ticle size, requires careful consideration of the media structure reor-
ganization details, see, for example: [147, p. 272–278].
Let’s estimate 𝐷𝐷 at 𝜆𝜆̅ ~ 3𝑟𝑟э (256)
𝐷𝐷 ~ 𝑢𝑢�х 𝑟𝑟э .
338
Low self-diffusion and viscosity (sec. 21.7) in the ether provide
the possibility of the long existence in it of areas of high and low pres-
sure, as well as of various flows with pronounced boundaries. These
ether properties explain the possibility of long-term retention of the
electrostatic charge in the object, long-term existence and motion over
long distances of various vortices, which can be used as the basis for
models of photons, electrons, protons and other microworld objects.
In sec.12.2, the formula (145) was obtained for the electrical con-
ductivity in the direction of the ether flow 𝐮𝐮/|𝐮𝐮|:
−1
2 𝑑𝑑 �𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 |𝐮𝐮|
𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0
𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 = � � . (261)
2�𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
This formula is derived for the steady flow of the ether and is valid
both in the absence and in the presence of substance, as it is a conse-
quence of the general equations of motion and state of the ether. Ac-
cording to (146), at 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 > 0 the directions of the current and the elec-
tric field coincide, and at 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 < 0 they are opposite.
The formula (261) is simplified if 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 ≈ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐, which is
true, for example, at short distances,
2 −1
𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝑑𝑑|𝐮𝐮|
𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 = � � . (262)
2𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
We study the case when there are no free charges in the medium.
We estimate the speed gradient 𝑑𝑑|𝑢𝑢|/𝑑𝑑𝑙𝑙 by using data about the
details of newtonians motion in the medium. This will introduce new
information, additional to that used in the derivation of formula (261).
339
A similar approach is applied in the electronic theory of the conduc-
tivity of metals [28, p. 180, 181].
For electric current in the vacuum (in the ether without a sub-
stance), one can first consider the motion of one newtonian, as in the
standard approach. But for the current in the substance, the use of such
an approach causes difficulties because of the need to describe the
interaction of particles incomparable in volume and mass – newtoni-
ans and structural elements of substance. We bypass this complexity
as follows. Instead of studying the dynamics of a separate newtonian,
we solve the problem of describing in the continuous media model the
interaction of the newtonians flow with obstacles in the vacuum and
substance. Such a description will introduce new data about the de-
tails of newtonians motion. As a result, the electrical conductivity will
be expressed through the parameters of the media structure through
which electric current flows, what is required in the kinetic theory of
electrical conductivity.
Using the continuous media model to describe the interaction of
the newtonians flow with the medium in some cases can be even more
preferable, since it allows to take into account collective phenomena,
for example, the Zhukovsky force, which are difficult to describe in
the model of the individual particle motion.
Note that in the electron theory of conductivity, the motion of a
single electron is first considered, but then averaging is performed
over all electrons [28, sec. 42], that is, in the end, an analogue of the
continuous media model is also used for the electric current.
So, let us consider the motion of the ether Lagrangian particle
under the action of the external force density 𝐅𝐅 (5). With 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 ≈ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ =
𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 in the mode when the ether pressure gradient 𝛁𝛁𝑝𝑝 is small com-
pared with the density of the external force 𝐅𝐅, we have
𝑑𝑑𝐮𝐮
𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ = 𝐅𝐅.
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
340
Taking 𝛁𝛁𝑝𝑝 into account would lead to the necessity of solving a
more complicated problem with consideration of 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 ≠ 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 and in-
volving the continuity equation (4). Such a problem for steady state
flow of the ether is solved in sec. 23.2.3, see the system of equations
(290).
A Lagrangian particle can participate in chaotic motion due, for
example, to boundary conditions. Therefore, we represent its velocity
as the sum of the chaotic (irregular) velocity caused by random influ-
ences and the drift velocity
𝐮𝐮 = 𝐮𝐮х + 𝐮𝐮𝑑𝑑 .
341
In the simplest model, we represent the pressure increment aris-

𝛼𝛼 is the ratio of the average area of impermeable obstacles in the trans-
verse to the flow section encountered on the length 𝐿𝐿, to the cross-
sectional area of the whole flow, 𝛼𝛼 ∈ [0,1). In the general case, the
ratio 𝛼𝛼 is the function of 𝐿𝐿. The coefficient 𝛼𝛼/(1 − 𝛼𝛼) models the re-
sistance of a segment of length 𝐿𝐿: when 𝛼𝛼 = 0, there is no resistance,
with full closing of the flow 𝛼𝛼 → 1, the resistance tends to infinity.

Let us average the equation (264) over all Lagrangian particles.
The mean derivative 〈𝑑𝑑𝐮𝐮х /𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑〉 vanishes (sec. 21.3). The density of
the external force does not depend on the particle properties, there-
fore, 〈𝐄𝐄0 〉 = 𝐄𝐄0 . The average of the mean drift velocity square, in ac-
cordance with (240), is 〈𝐮𝐮2𝑑𝑑 〉 = 𝐮𝐮2𝑑𝑑 = 𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑2 .
The averaged equation takes the form
where 𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 = 𝐮𝐮𝑑𝑑 ∙ 𝐢𝐢𝑑𝑑 , 𝐸𝐸0 = 𝐄𝐄0 ∙ 𝐢𝐢𝑑𝑑 The result is the Burgers – Hopf
equation with the nonzero right hand side. Recall that spontaneous
formation of discontinuities and shock waves is possible in the pro-
cesses described by the Burgers – Hopf equation (sec. 6.1).
With this simplification, the description of the magnetic field in-
side the conductor is lost, but it becomes possible to obtain relatively
343
simple analytical formulas for the distribution of the current along the
wire. The magnetic field inside the conductor is calculated in sec.
23.2.3 using the system (290) solution.

Here, the "+" sign is chosen for 𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 , since the projection of velocity
on the direction of velocity 𝐢𝐢𝑑𝑑 is considered.
From the expressions obtained, it can be seen that the electric
current flow is determined by exponential dependencies and, there-
fore, in the general case is a rather sensitive process.
The obtained formulas for the function 𝐸𝐸0 (𝑙𝑙) of a general form
are difficult to analyze. We simplify them assuming a weak depend-
ence of 𝐸𝐸0 on 𝑙𝑙: 𝐸𝐸0 (𝑙𝑙) ≈ 𝐸𝐸0 (0). In this case, 𝑈𝑈 is calculated

The expression for 𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 allows to find the distance 𝑙𝑙𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠 ≈1/ 𝛾𝛾, at
which the flow, having a given pressure gradient at the point 𝑙𝑙 = 0,
ceases to depend on space. However, taking into account the speed
change 𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 (𝑙𝑙) of not more than in √2 ≈ 1.41 times on the interval 𝑙𝑙 ∈
[0, +∞), we can approximately consider 𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 (𝑙𝑙) constant in the con-
sidered flow segment 𝑙𝑙 ∈ [0, 𝐿𝐿], that is, take 𝑙𝑙𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠 ≈ 𝐿𝐿.
The dependence of the derivative 𝑑𝑑𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 /𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 on 𝑙𝑙 may be stronger.
But if 𝛾𝛾 ≪ 1/𝐿𝐿, then the derivative 𝑑𝑑𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 /𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 is almost constant over
the flow segment 𝐿𝐿, since 𝛾𝛾𝛾𝛾 < 𝛾𝛾𝛾𝛾 ≪ 1 and 𝑒𝑒 −𝛾𝛾𝛾𝛾 ≈ 1. In sec. 21.10 it
will be shown that the ether flow in the metal and vacuum (in the
absence of a substance) satisfies the condition 𝛾𝛾 ≪ 1/𝐿𝐿 for those 𝐿𝐿
encountered in practice.

That is, 𝑑𝑑𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 /𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 is determined by the medium structure 𝛾𝛾 and the

sity in this medium 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗ .
346
The relation (270) establishes the physical meaning of the ether
flow drift speed derivative along the direction of the flow in a sub-
stance as a quantity proportional to the coefficient of the specific ge-
ometric resistance and steady state flow velocity.
Note that |𝐮𝐮𝑑𝑑 | = 𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 , since the direction 𝐢𝐢𝑑𝑑 of the coordinate 𝑙𝑙 is

Due to the rapid thermal fluctuations of structural elements in
different directions, the area of obstacles 𝛼𝛼 increases as (𝑣𝑣𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 𝑡𝑡1 )2 ,
where 𝑡𝑡1 is the time of one thermal oscillation of the media structural
element, 𝑣𝑣𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 is the average speed of its thermal oscillations. Then, in
accordance with (237), 𝛼𝛼 ~ 𝑇𝑇. Therefore, for small 𝛼𝛼 (low density of
obstacles area), 𝛾𝛾 ~ 𝛼𝛼 (263) and
𝛾𝛾 ~ 𝑇𝑇. (273)

In good dielectrics, 𝛾𝛾 → ∞. Therefore, 𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 → 0, 𝑑𝑑𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 /𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 → ∞,
see (269), and, according with (269), the electrical conductivity tends
to zero:
𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 → 0.
𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 → ∞.
Herewith, the drift speed 𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 must be limited by the speed of light,
otherwise a shock wave arises, destroying the property of supercon-
ductivity or even the superconductor itself.
A distinctive feature of a superconductor is the disappearance of
the spatial dependence in 𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 and 𝑑𝑑𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 /𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 (268) due to 𝛾𝛾 ~ 0 already
at very small distances. This corresponds to the nulling inside it of the
magnetic and electric fields determined by the ether flow density de-
rivatives (20), (21). This conclusion is confirmed by the consideration
of the limit 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 → ∞ from the solution of the problem (290), con-
structed for 𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 ≈ 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐.
In the general case, the specific geometric resistance 𝛾𝛾 (263) and
the electric field 𝐸𝐸0 , created by the current source, can strongly de-
pend on the coordinate along the velocity of the ether flow. As a re-
sult, the electrical conductivity 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 in the ether or substance can be a
complex function of a point in space. Regimes of the ether flow lock-
ing, amplifying, and etc. may occur.
In accordance with the general methodology of the kinetic theory,
a brief overview of which is given in sec. 21.4, in a relatively small
time interval in a region of relatively small size the ether state can be
considered quasi-equilibrium and the Clapeyron – Mendeleev equa-
tion (231), (243) can be used. Then 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 (271) can be expressed in terms
of the thermodynamic parameters and the mass of the newtonian

𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 ≈ 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 ,
𝑚𝑚э 𝑝𝑝 𝛾𝛾𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑
where 𝑇𝑇 and 𝑝𝑝 are the ether temperature and pressure in the electric
current. In the general case, when thermodynamic equilibrium is ab-
sent, the law (231), (243) cannot be used in the equation (265).
It is known that neither the classical nor the quantum approach
provides acceptable values of the electrical conductivity of substances
𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 [32, p. 213; 152, ch. 6, p. 55; 154, ch. 3]. Therefore, in practice
empirical data are used [121]. It can be expected that the development
of ether concepts about atoms and their aggregates will lead to obtain-
ing adequate formulas for 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 .
The electrical conductivities (261) of the ether itself and the ether
in a substance can be very different from each other due to strong
differences in the gradient of the motion speed and ether density,
which are determined by the specific structure of the substance struc-
tural elements, the architecture of their aggregates, and the presence
of obstacles, channels and nozzles, as well as external influences.
A detailed theoretical study of the ether flow in matter, as has
been repeatedly noted, requires the development of ether models of
atoms, molecules, etc., which is the direction of further research.
In the framework of the simplified model of electric current
(266)–(269) under consideration, to quantify the electrical conductiv-
ity, it is necessary to know the fraction of the obstacles area 𝛼𝛼 to the
ether flow in the flow segment 𝐿𝐿. Accurate calculation of 𝛼𝛼, as well
as viscosity and self-diffusion of the ether (see sec. 21.7 and 21.8),
requires careful consideration of the ether medium structural adjust-
ment details, see, for example: [147, p. 272–278]. And during the flow
350
of the ether in a substance, it is necessary to take into account the
details of its structural elements behavior. Such studies have not yet
been performed.
Therefore, we consider here the inverse problem of determining
the parameters of the electrical conductivity with ether model from
sec. 21.9 using experimental data. We will estimate these parameters
for metal and the ether and discuss their correspondence to experi-
ments. The values of some parameters will be needed in sec. 21.11.
Consider first the electric current in the metal on the copper sample.
In the etheric model of nature, the carrier of electric current in a
metal, as in other substances without free charges, is the ether, but in
a metal its flow has a number of special features. A metal, in contrast
to, for example, the ether, gases or many amorphous bodies, has a
well-ordered crystal structure consisting of atoms. Therefore, the
ether flow in a metal can occur through channels containing areas of
constriction and expansion, that is, structures like a Laval nozzle [9,
p. 118; 15, p. 46].
It is known from hydroaeromechanics that the presence of a pipe-
line facilitates the flow of the medium over longer distances. There-
fore, one should expect a higher electrical conductivity of the ether in
the metal compared to the electrical conductivity of the ether in the
vacuum.
It is possible to draw an analogy between the flow of the ether in
the metal through the channels and the tunnel effect in the electronic
theory of conductivity, according to which the electron must travel as
a wave much longer than its free path as a particle [32, p. 213]. How-
ever, in the ether theory of electric current there is no need to endow
the current carrier with partially mutually exclusive properties.
Considering that due to the presence of nozzles, the ether average
pressure in copper 𝑝𝑝 in the presence of current can be smaller than the
average pressure of the ether calculated in sec. 21.12 using the subli-
mation energy 𝑝𝑝int,Cu ≈ 0.634 ∙ 109 [Pa] = 0.634 ∙ 1010 [din/cm2 ].
Let us estimate 𝑝𝑝 in the current as ~0.9𝑝𝑝int,Cu . Then, by (243) and
351
(230), the characteristic density of the ether in the electric current in
copper can be estimated as
0.9𝑝𝑝int,Cu
𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,∗,Cu ≈ ≈ 0.52𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 . (275)

that is, the change of velocity over the length 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 is only 𝑑𝑑�𝐮𝐮𝑑𝑑,Cu � =
0.037 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 [cm/s]. This result for 𝑑𝑑�𝐮𝐮𝑑𝑑,Cu � corresponds to the high
electrical conductivity of copper known from experiments, that is, to
a very weak attenuation of the ether velocity in it.
The specific geometric resistance 𝛾𝛾 (263) for copper is also ex-
pressed through 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒,Cu, using the formula (270). For this one needs to
know the characteristic speed 𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑 . It can be measured experimentally
by the speed of the electric current front propagation. But we could
not find such measurements. Therefore, we use the data on the highest
technically permissible current density in copper 𝑗𝑗Cu,𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 ~ 103 [𝐴𝐴/
cm2 ] = 3 ∙ 1012 [statA/cm2 ] [28, p. 184]. This current corresponds
to the ether speed 𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑,Cu,𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 = 𝑗𝑗Cu,𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 /𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 ≈ 4.5 ∙ 108 [cm/s] ≈
1.5 ∙ 10−2 𝑐𝑐, see (133). From the formula (270) at 𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑,Cu ≈
𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑,Cu,𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 /100
𝑑𝑑�𝐮𝐮𝑑𝑑,Cu � 200
𝛾𝛾Cu ~ ≈ 1.7 ∙ 10−8 [1/cm]. (276)
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 𝑐𝑐
352
The very low linear density of the specific geometric resistance
coefficient 𝛾𝛾 confirms the assumption about the flow of the ether in
copper over a set of channels.
Let us estimate 𝛼𝛼. In the formula (263), 𝛼𝛼 is the ratio of the aver-
age area of impermeable obstacles in the flow cross section, encoun-
tered on the length 𝐿𝐿 of the flow, to the entire flow sectional area. In
the general case, 𝛼𝛼 depends on 𝐿𝐿. However, for example, at small dis-
tances of the size order of the wire fragment with an ideal crystal, the
value of 𝛼𝛼 may weakly depend on 𝐿𝐿, since the geometric structure in
the crystal is constant.
The size of crystalline granules in copper is estimated as
𝐿𝐿𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 ~ 10−4 [cm]. Then from the formula (263) we find
𝛾𝛾Cu 𝐿𝐿𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐
𝛼𝛼Cu = ≈ 1.7 ∙ 10−12 .
1 + 𝛾𝛾Cu 𝐿𝐿𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐
If the ether flow between crystalline copper granules does not experi-
ence significant obstacles, then this 𝛼𝛼Cu value is preserved at large
distances 𝐿𝐿 ≫ 𝐿𝐿𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 . A very small fraction 𝛼𝛼 of the obstacles to the
ether flow in copper is consistent with its high electrical conductivity.
We emphasize that the 𝛼𝛼Cu estimate through the size of the copper
atom and the interatomic distance would be too rough here, since it
would not take into account the details of the ether flow around the
atom and the influence of the flow created by the atom itself and its
neighbors.
Let us estimate the ether electrical conductivity 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒,э in the ab-
sence of a substance (in the vacuum) from the measurements pre-
sented in sec. 23.9.1. The residual gas in the technical vacuum and
corpuscular phenomena at the electrodes may affect the electrical
conductivity of the ether, but, as shown in sec. 23.9.1, uncharged par-
ticles (newtonians) are the main current carrier in the experiments
considered there.
353
At the potential difference of ~103 [V] on a vacuum gap of
4 [cm], the current in the circuit was ~10 [mA] for electrodes with a
cross section of 2.5 [mm2 ]. The potential difference is the differential
of the ether pressures (73). We take into account that the creation of
the current in the gap between the electrodes does not consume the
entire pressure difference, but only a part of it, since the outflow of
the ether from the cathode, observed by luminescence, goes in all di-
rections. Let us estimate this part approximately by the size of the area
transverse to the anode near it, the flow of the ether from which falls
on the anode. The size of this area can be estimated by the glow of the
lattice near the anode. In the experiment, this area was ~𝜋𝜋32 [cm2 ],
which is ~𝜋𝜋32 /(4𝜋𝜋42 ) ≈ 0.14 of the sphere area of radius 4 [cm],
equal to the distance between the electrodes. Thus, if the ether flow
outside the site under consideration does not fall on the anode, then
with a more or less uniform distribution of the ether pressure around
the cathode, the ether pressure difference actually used to create the
current between the electrodes is ~103 ∙ 0.14 [V].
From Ohm's law we find the electrical conductivity of the vac-
uum (ether) in this experiment

sponds to the known low vacuum electrical conductivity, that is, a
very strong resistance to the flow of the ether in it.
We express the specific geometric resistance 𝛾𝛾 (263) for the vac-
uum through 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒,э . The characteristic speed in the ether is comparable
with the speed of light. Therefore, in (270) we take 𝑢𝑢𝑑𝑑,э ≈ 𝑐𝑐 and get

𝜎𝜎 𝑒𝑒
355
Calculations in the classical and quantum theories of electrons give
𝛽𝛽 = 3 and 𝛽𝛽 = 𝜋𝜋 2 /3 respectively [28, p. 185, 186].
However, the experiment demonstrates the good fulfillment of
the Wiedemann – Franz law for metals only at temperatures of several
Kelvins and above room temperature. In the intermediate values, it is
unjust, see, for example: [121, p. 339; 154, p. 71] and review [en.wik-
ipedia.org/wiki/Wiedemann%E2%80%93Franz_law]. In this temper-
ature range, the divergence of 𝛽𝛽 with experiments can be up to 10
times: for pure metals, the theoretically calculated 𝛽𝛽 ≈ 3 overesti-
mates the real value, for alloys it underestimates [121, p. 339]. There-
fore, the essential in this law is the proportionality of the 𝜒𝜒/𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 ratio
to the temperature and the relatively weak dependence of the coeffi-
cient 𝛽𝛽 on it in a certain temperature range, and not the value of 𝛽𝛽.
The kinetic theory of the ether reveals a single basis for the origin
of the thermal and electrical conductivity phenomena as the ether mo-
tion, caused by an energy density gradient, see (147), (249). Herewith,
the physical reasons for the appearance of the energy density gradient
in the ether can be different.
From the standpoint of the ether theory, the thermal conductivity
of a macroscopic object, such as a metal, is explained by the chaotic
oscillations of its structural elements (atoms) interacting through the
ether flow (sec. 21.5). The electrical conductivity of a macroscopic
object that does not have free charges inside is caused by the ether
flow created in it as the continuous medium (sec. 12.2, 21.9).
Thermal conductivity, viscosity, diffusion, and electrical conduc-
tivity of macroscopic objects under ordinary laboratory conditions
can be considered independently of thermal conductivity, viscosity,
diffusion, and electrical conductivity of the ether, see the discussion
in sec. 21.5–21.8.
Let’s calculate the ratio of thermal conductivity and electrical
conductivity for the metal. The formula for electrical conductivity
(271) is quite universal, that is, it has this form for any substance. In
356
the case of metal, as discussed in sec. 21.9, estimate (272) is more
appropriate, since in experiments the speed of the current propagation
in the metal is comparable with the speed of light. The formula for
thermal conductivity of metals (260) differs from the formula for the
ether (254) by taking into account the kinetics of thermal quanta in
the metal.

and 𝛾𝛾/𝑇𝑇 ≈ 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 (273). Therefore, the coefficient 𝑒𝑒∗ (280) in (279)
depends weakly on 𝑇𝑇. From this it follows that the behavior of the
ether in a metal reproduces the Wiedemann – Franz law (278), known
from experiments: 𝜒𝜒𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 /𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 ~ 𝑇𝑇.

theory of electric current, consideration of the newtonians kinetics
does not require the introduction of free charges in the metal and the
force acting on them, since the electric field in the understanding of
the ether is caused namely by the directional motion of newtonians,
see formulas (21), (146).
Let us compare 𝑒𝑒∗,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 and 𝑒𝑒∗ with the electron charge 𝑒𝑒, which

The length of the free path in the ether under the influence of ex-

𝛽𝛽э ≈ 1.1. This value lies within the range of the experimentally known

Thus, one can conclude that the Wiedemann – Franz law is re-
produced in the ether theory for metals and the vacuum not only qual-
itatively but also quantitatively.
From here an important conclusion follows: the fulfillment of the
Wiedemann – Franz law in some media does not entail the obligatory
existence of free electrons in it.
However, in physics, the Wiedemann – Franz law (278) is ac-
cepted as one of the main confirmations of the metals conductivity
electronic theory [154, p. 71]. The derivation given here of this law
for the ether flow in a medium in the absence of free electrons shows
the logical inconsistency of such justification.
We emphasize that in deriving the Wiedemann – Franz law for
some medium, it is important to take account in the thermal conduc-
tivity coefficient the directional motion of this medium particles,
which is present in the electric current, that is, to consider the thermal
and electrical conductivities of the same kinetic process. However, in
physics, when considering the Wiedemann – Franz law, the directed
motion of particles in the thermal conductivity coefficient is not taken
into account [28, p. 185]. This circumstance is an addition to the free
electrons hypothesis, that cause the discrepancy between the coeffi-
cient 𝛽𝛽 in (278) theoretically calculated in physics and its experi-
mental values in the temperature range from several Kelvins to room
temperature.
360
We emphasize once again that in the ether theory, the mechanism
of electric current in the ether and in metals is explained by the crea-
tion of a pressure gradient of newtonians (147) and does not require
the presence of free electrons.

The results of the ether pressure estimates 𝑝𝑝int in some materials
at 𝑝𝑝ext ≪ 𝑝𝑝0 , 𝑝𝑝dis ≪ 𝑝𝑝s are given in the table. The coefficient 𝛼𝛼 ∈
[0,1] specifies the fraction of a material that is in the vapor state dur-
ing evaporation. It is assumed that the energy of evaporation (or sub-
limation) 𝑄𝑄 is spent on exactly the evaporated substance 𝛼𝛼𝜌𝜌̅ . Then the
energy density (pressure) of evaporation is 𝑝𝑝s = 𝛼𝛼𝜌𝜌̅ 𝑄𝑄 . In the tables
[120, p. 304] and [121, p. 99, 289] the value of the coefficient 𝛼𝛼 is not
given. Here it is assumed to be equal to unity, that is, it is believed
that all the material has undergone evaporation.
It can be seen that, despite the different sublimation energies and
densities, the sublimation pressures and the internal pressures of the
metals in the solid phase Ti, 92U, Cu, Al, Fe are close to each other.
The same takes place for the "soft" metals Pb, Hg, Na and water, but
with a noticeably lower sublimation pressure. There is a tendency: the
harder the metal, the less the internal pressure of the ether in it. How-
ever, the hardness of a substance is also determined by the bonding
force of the structural elements of the metal.
The ether pressure inside the liquid phases of the gaseous sub-
stances H2 , He, N2 , O2 is close to the pressure of the unperturbed ether
𝑝𝑝0 . The especial proximity to 𝑝𝑝0 of the ether internal pressure in the
liquid phase of helium explains the lack of its solid phase at normal
pressure [121, p. 289]: already in the liquid phase, the internal pressure
in helium is compared with the pressure of the unperturbed ether, and
to transfer helium into the solid phase, it is necessary to create a no-
ticeable additional external pressure 𝑝𝑝ext = 3 ∙ 106 [Pa] [121, p. 289].
Experiments [172] on the destruction of crystals by the laser ra-
diation for a time shorter than the thermal oscillations of atoms can
also be explained by the creation of the ether pressure in the crystal
that exceeds 𝑝𝑝0 , see sec. 23.8.
The internal pressure of the ether in the material is defined by the
flow of the ether between its structural elements. A more detailed
study of the internal pressure requires the development of the ether
363
model of atoms and molecules, as well as conducting new experi-
ments with accurate measurement of the sublimation pressure of var-
ious materials.
364
between them. As a result, the pressure inside the object drops, and
the external ether compresses the object to the solid state.
This raises the problem of the ether interpretation of the Van der
Waals forces of interatomic interaction and surface effects.
The decay of radioactive objects can be interpreted as a process
of decreasing the ether speed inside them for one reason or another,
leading to a decrease of the difference in the ether pressure outside
and inside the object, which leads to the weakening of the force hold-
ing its structural elements.
365
The absence of an electromotive force in a ring of different met-
als [28, p. 450] in the case when there are no external influences, is a
consequence of the ether momentum conservation law (5).
In the closed circuit consisting of series-connected dissimilar
conductors, the contacts between which are located at different tem-
peratures, an electric current is observed (Seebeck effect [28, p. 454;
36, p. 417]). From the etheric point of view, the amplification of the
thermoelectric current when the contact between two different mate-
rials is heated can be explained by one or some combination of the
following effects: a decrease in the throughput capability of the con-
ductor boundary due to the increase in thermal vibrations of its con-
stituting atoms; effusion [27, sec. 95; 155, ch. 4] of the ether through
the porous boundary in the direction from the colder region to the hot-
ter one; different dependence of the ether pressure 𝑝𝑝 (15) on the tem-
perature rise for different materials.
For example, by a decrease in the throughput capability of the
boundary between the conductors it is quite simple to explain the
known experiment with a contour of an antimony plate and a copper
plate, which are fused at the ends [28, p. 455, fig. 239]. In this exper-
iment, the direction of the electric current is determined using a mag-
netic needle located between the plates. When one of the junctions is
heated, a current through it from antimony to copper is observed. Dur-
ing junction cooling, current direction changes to opposite.
The ether pressure in antimony is about one and a half times
higher than in copper, see the table on p. 362. At the same temperature
of the contacts, the ether flows over each contact from antimony to
copper (in the direction of lower pressure) and the total current
through both contacts is zero. Heating of the first contact makes it
difficult for the ether to flow through it due to the increased oscilla-
tions of atoms near the contact. The current over the second contact,
which determines the total flow in the closed contour, becomes dom-
inant. As a result, in the first contact, the ether flow occurs from cop-
per to antimony. The cooling of the first contact, on the contrary, fa-
cilitates the ether flow over it in comparison with the second contact.
366
The total ether flow in the contour occurs in the opposite direction:
from antimony to copper at the first contact.
The electric current passage through the boundary of two con-
ductors of different materials is accompanied, depending on the di-
rection of the current, by the release or absorption of heat, which is
additional to that emitted in accordance with the Joule-Lenz law (Pel-
tier effect [28, p. 454; 36, p. 419]). Peltier heat is proportional to the
strength of the current, and the Joule – Lenz heat dissipation – to the
square of the current strength. Besides, the heat released or absorbed
depends on the temperature difference between the two conductors at
the point of contact (Thomson effect [28, p. 420]).
The ether equations are close to the gas dynamics equations (see
sec. 1.2). Therefore, we analyze the Peltier effect, drawing an analogy
with the behavior of a gas (see also sec. 21.2). The equation of state
for an ideal gas from solid particles (analogue of a flowing loose-
granular media) is: 𝑝𝑝 = 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝑅𝑅� 𝑇𝑇/𝑀𝑀э , where 𝑝𝑝 is the ether pressure, 𝑅𝑅� is
the universal gas constant, 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 is the ether density in mechanical units
(sec. 20.1), 𝑀𝑀э is the molar mass of the ether particles (see, for exam-
ple: [36, p. 151]). Then, at a small change in the ether molar volume
𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 /𝑀𝑀э at the contact (that is, a small change in the ether), the Peltier
effect of heat 𝑇𝑇 release or absorption at the contact can be associated
with a sharp change in the ether pressure: cooling as 𝑝𝑝 falls and heat-
ing as 𝑝𝑝 increases.
The internal pressure of the ether in the material is defined by the
ether flow created by its structural elements. Therefore, a detailed
quantitative study of the contact phenomena requires the development
of an etheric model of atoms and molecules, and models of substance
internal structure and surface layer.

electrons of other atoms to itself [36, p. 780; en.wikipe-
dia.org/wiki/Electronegativity; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_se-
ries]. However, the fundamental details of appearance of such an abil-
ity mechanism are not disclosed.
Each nuclide is characterized by the strictly defined number of
protons and neutrons, as well as a certain energy state of the nucleus.
Therefore, in the etheric understanding, each nuclide generates its
own ether flow, associated with the specific features of its organiza-
tion. According to (15), each nuclide forms around its own ether pres-
sure, and hence its own electrical potential (74). When different types
of nuclides approach each other, an ether pressure difference occurs.
The pressure gradient generates an electric field (72). An electrical
force arises that affects the electrons of the nuclides.
Thus, in the etheric understanding, the electronegativity between
chemical elements is due to the individual ether pressure around the
chemical element associated with its unique structure and state.
Here we again come to the need of developing detailed quantita-
tive ether models of the microworld objects: electron, proton, neutron,
nucleus, atom, molecule. It is necessary to adequately describe the
ether motion inside, on the boundary and outside these objects, to
thoroughly study the emerging force interaction of the ether flows of
approaching each other objects. Solving such problems is the direc-
tion of further research.
Let's show that for the ether flow in a gas discharge the same
formula is valid as for a wire (133), which relates the characteristic
current density and the characteristic velocity of the ether flow
368
Formulas (269) are applicable both for a wire and for a gas dis-
charge, since their derivation did not use the assumption of current
flow in any particular medium.

In classical statistical physics, it is believed that atoms and mol-
ecules that make up the system move according to the laws of classi-
cal mechanics [249, p.14]. In this sense, the model of classical statis-
tical physics is similar to the model of the ether proposed here, which
assumes that the ether moves according to Newton's second law for
the medium.
However, the criteria of correctness of any statistical theory con-
structed for ordinary macroscopic systems is the reproduction of phe-
nomenological laws of thermodynamics. Therefore the microscopic
atomistic model for these systems is a priori endowed with properties,
which in the statistical description would not lead to the violation of
the thermodynamics laws. At the same time, as many researchers
note, one cannot directly equate thermodynamic and statistical param-
eters [249, p. 14].
Besides, despite the assumptions of the classical kinetic theory of
gases that all particles possess only the kinetic form of motion and the
internal energy of gas depends only on it, the reasoning of the rela-
tionship of pressure and the average kinetic energy of one molecule
translational motion actually involves three forms of matter motion:
thermal, mechanical (volume) and kinetic [250, p. 276].
The ether model proposed in the book (4)–(6), (15) describes not
only equilibrium or quasi-equilibrium, but also non-equilibrium pro-
cesses. The equation of state of the ether introduced in sec. 1.4 uses
only the assumption 𝓅𝓅 = 𝓅𝓅(𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮2 ), and its interpretation as a se-
quence of quasi-equilibrium states is not mandatory. Moreover, this
ether model includes not only mechanical and kinetic forms of matter
motion, but also supplements the quantitative treatment of its thermal
form of motion with the transfer of momentum (kinetic energy) in the
ether by the thermal quanta, see p. 331. In addition, the ether theory
describes both reversible and irreversible processes.
We now turn to the analysis of the thermodynamic entropy concept.
The basic laws of thermodynamics – the first and second princi-
ples – were formulated by Clausius.
371
The first principle of thermodynamics is the energy conservation
law for thermal and mechanical properties (see, for example: [27, p. 59]):
where 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 is the amount of heat transferred to the system, 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 is the
change in its internal energy, 𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 is the work against pressure 𝑝𝑝 as
the volume increments in 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑.
The term "second principle of thermodynamics", which includes
the concept of the entropy, has been used in physics for more than a
hundred years. However, up to now different authors put different
content in it, see, for example: [27, sec. 44; 251].
In 1865, Clausius deciphered the amount of heat 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 by the formula
372
the system can change, but it is not able to pass from body to
body, only the heat passes [14, p. 229]. It is enough to take 𝑈𝑈
and 𝑉𝑉 as defining thermodynamic variables of two-parameter
medium [14, p. 241].
2. Inconsistency of Clausius' "justification" of equation (286),
see [252, p. 371–373]. This conclusion also follows from [254,
p. 41–49].
3. Some discrepancy between the formal definition of the entropy
(285), (286) and the physical understanding of heat transfer.
Consider (285), (286) for the increment 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 of an arbitrarily
small elementary volume Δ𝑉𝑉 (as it is done in [14, p. 230]). For-
mula (285) assumes that the heat 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 is transferred to Δ𝑉𝑉. Ac-
cording to formula (286), the increment 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 creates the incre-
ment of the entropy 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 without changing the temperature 𝑇𝑇. As
a result, we get that the heat 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 is transferred to an arbitrarily
small volume Δ𝑉𝑉, but the temperature 𝑇𝑇 of this volume does not
change, it is the entropy that changes in this volume.
4. In the phenomenological thermodynamics, all processes in a
closed system occur in the direction of increasing entropy. As a
result, entropy reaches a maximum and all processes stop. How-
ever, this conclusion contradicts the basic ideas of the molecu-
lar-kinetic theory [27, p. 285], according to which fluctuations
in a closed system are possible leading to the entropy decrease.
5. Elimination of the contradiction 4 is carried out in physics by
postulating the relation of the entropy and the probability, see,
for example: [27, sec. 80; 147, p. 61–67]. In such approach the
concept of the thermodynamic entropy is replaced with the
concept of the statistical entropy [27, p. 289]. However, the
statistical entropy has a different content – it is related to the
probability, and not to the presentation (286) for the heat in-
crement. The entropy in the statistical interpretation is a meas-
ure of chaos, a measure of system disorder. The more distinct
microstates it has, the greater the entropy [14, p. 61].
373
6. The inconsistency with reality of the mathematical way of in-
troducing the concept of the entropy, see. [251(b)]. This
method relies on the existence for the expression (285), con-
sidered as the Pfaff form of two variables 𝑈𝑈 and 𝑉𝑉, of an inte-
grating factor 1/𝑇𝑇, where 𝑇𝑇 = 𝑇𝑇(𝑈𝑈, 𝑉𝑉), turning this form into
a complete differential
The function 𝑆𝑆(𝑈𝑈, 𝑉𝑉) is associated with the entropy, and 𝑇𝑇(𝑈𝑈, 𝑉𝑉)
is associated with the absolute thermodynamic temperature. To
the problems, described in [251(a)] of such introduction of the
entropy concept, another one can be added: the increments of the
internal energy 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 and volume 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑, generally speaking, are not
independent. In this case, equation (285) is the Pfaff form of one
variable, not two, and 𝑄𝑄 can be calculated without introducing
the concept of the entropy.
7. For 150 years there have been no serious, practically important
examples of meaningful use of the concept of the entropy. In
fact, the main application of the entropy is reduced to conclu-
sions based on calculating the sign of its increment, see, for
example: [14, p. 239, 240, sec. 5–11; 9, p. 100].
Herewith, the analysis of the adiabatic irreversible pro-
cess uses reasoning similar to that proposed by Clausius, see,
for example: [14, p. 230, 231]. Let the temperature 𝑇𝑇′ of the
first infinitesimal volume be less than the temperature 𝑇𝑇′′ of
the second infinitesimal volume. The volumes are brought into
374
contact. Since the process of the heat transfer is irreversible
and there are no losses from the system, the second body loses
the amount of heat −𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑, and the first body gains heat 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑. As
a result of such a heat transfer, the entropy of the first volume
increases by
𝑑𝑑𝑆𝑆 ′ = 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑/𝑇𝑇′,
𝑑𝑑𝑆𝑆 ′′ = −𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑/𝑇𝑇′′.
1 1 𝑇𝑇 ′′ − 𝑇𝑇 ′
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = � ′ − ′′ � 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 > 0.
𝑇𝑇 𝑇𝑇 𝑇𝑇 ′ 𝑇𝑇 ′′
375
equation of state, which does not contain the entropy, and the
experimental values of the heat capacities are usually used for
calculations.
9. The presence of irreversible heat loss in the system is usually
clear without calculating 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑. In practice, the heat loss is
calculated without the entropy, using the solution of the heat
transfer equation with the empirically determined heat transfer
coefficient.
10. Different understanding of heat and the process of its transfer:
caloric theory [27, sec. 16; ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Теплород,
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caloric_theory], energeticism [249, p.
13], molecular-kinetic theory.
Thus, the thermodynamic entropy does not have a clear physical
interpretation, does not reveal the essence of general laws, and is not
actually used in practice. Therefore, the use of the entropy concept for
the analysis of energy processes in the etheric model of nature is in-
expedient.
In our opinion, excessive attention to the concept of the thermo-
dynamic entropy, as well as to the concept of the wave function, only
distracts researchers from advancing in the knowledge of nature, un-
derstanding real processes and predicting useful effects for applica-
tion in practice.
Basing on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of many ex-
perimental facts carried out in the book, it can be concluded that at
the current level of the ether studying, the simplest form of the equa-
tion of its state 𝓅𝓅 = 𝓅𝓅(𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮2 ), which takes into account only the me-
chanical properties, is sufficient, see sec. 1.4.
In conclusion, we emphasize once again that the ether model es-
sentially supplements and generalizes, including quantitatively, ther-
modynamic and statistical representations of the matter motion. In
particular, it generalizes and clarifies the process of heat transfer us-
ing the concept of a thermal quantum, see p. 331, 332.

22. Estimation of the boundary layers radii causing the emer-
gence of the Lorentz force and the force of gravitation
In general, the flow of the ether around the object, the size of the
boundary layer and the force of impact on the object arising from the
ether must be calculated on the basis of the solution of the initial sys-
tem of ether equations (4)–(6). However, the theoretical results of sec.
16.1 and 16.2 allow one to estimate approximately the values of the
boundary layers radii.

the boundary layer radius is approximately the same and is 𝑎𝑎∗ ≈ 2.6 ∙
10−5 [cm].
The value 𝑎𝑎∗ turned out to be much larger than the radii of the
electron and proton. However, it is possible that the used approxima-
tion 𝑓𝑓 ≈ ±1 gives an overestimated value of 𝑎𝑎∗ . To obtain an accurate
estimate, it is necessary to understand the structure of the electron and
the proton and calculate the ether flow in the boundary layer of each
of them basing on the solution of the original ether equations.
The 𝑎𝑎∗ value turned out to be much smaller than the characteristic
distance 𝑎𝑎 ~ 10−3 [cm] between the ether vortices in the magnetic
field model considered in sec. 19.2. Such a relationship of the dis-
tances 𝑎𝑎∗ and 𝑎𝑎 confirms the possibility of using the formula (174)
378
for elementary particles, upon derivation of which a slight change in
the force field in the boundary layer region was assumed. For smaller
𝑎𝑎∗ , such assumption is all the more fulfilled.
The etheric representation of the Lorentz force (174) and the 𝑎𝑎∗
estimates allow us to conclude that the effect of electric and magnetic
fields on a charged object can take place at distances different from
the size of the object itself, since the force interaction of the corre-
sponding ether flows occurs in the boundary layer.
In the general case, the calculation of the force requires a more
accurate description of the boundary layer, for example, using the nu-
merical solution of the original ether equations for finding the ether
motion around a particular object model. Here it is necessary to accu-
rately set the boundary conditions, including taking into account the
possible penetration of the ether flow through the object boundary.

locity of 11.2 ∙ 105 [cm/s], but limited by the speed of light:
7.9 ∙ 105 < �𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 � ≪ 3 ∙ 1010 [cm/s].
We obtain a more accurate estimate of the ether rotation speed
𝑢𝑢𝜑𝜑,0 around the Earth near its surface. We use the average values and
directions of the magnetic and electric fields near the surface of the
Earth [121, p. 1183, 1196]

where 𝐢𝐢𝑟𝑟 and 𝐢𝐢𝜃𝜃 are the unit radial and meridional vectors of the spher-
ical coordinate system with the origin at the center of the Earth, the
angle θ is measured starting from the axis of its rotation.
According to the classification of ether flows, in a gravitational
flow (162) we have

Substituting 𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 here, we get 𝐄𝐄� ~ − 1 𝐢𝐢𝑟𝑟 [V/m] at distances of the
order of the Earth's radius 𝑟𝑟 ~ 𝑟𝑟𝐵𝐵 . Taking into account many simplifi-
cations done at the derivation of (176), a significant scatter of direc-
tions and values of the magnetic field [121, fig. 44.1–44.5, table 44.9],
the rapid fall of the electric field, which at a height of more than
10 [km] is smaller than 1 [V/m] [28, p. 82], we conclude that 𝐄𝐄� is
appropriate to the average over measurements in 10 [km] field of the
Earth. Such a conclusion, according to the methodology of mathemat-
ical modeling, testifies the adequacy of the theoretical concepts used
in the formulas (72) and (176) about the classification of the ether
gravitational flow (162) and the understanding of the gravitational at-
traction as the ether pressure force (154).
The analysis performed in sec. 23.12 provides another confirma-
tion of the value 𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 found here.
By the known speed 𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 and the free fall acceleration, one can
find from (182) the magnitude of the factor 𝜆𝜆 for typical objects
𝜆𝜆 ≈ 1.33 ∙ 10−5 .

The density of the gravitational force is relatively small, but its action
is enhanced in the boundary layer of the object, see formulas (177),
(178). It will be of great interest to learn how to reduce this force, for
example, by creating an obstacle from of a material that is hard per-
meable for the ether gravitational flow or reducing (disturbing) the
ether velocity 𝑢𝑢�0,𝜑𝜑 (177) in the boundary layer of the object, see sec.

23. Summary of experimental facts confirming the presence
of the ether
It has been shown above that the basic general laws of electrody-
namics and gravity are mathematical consequences of laws (4)–(6)
for the conservation of matter and the quantity of ether motion (equa-
tions of the ether motion). These consequences include: Maxwell's
equations (sec. 2.1), the Lorentz force (sec. 2.1 and 16.1), the Gauss
theorem and Coulomb's law (sec. 3), the Bio-Savard law (sec. 7), the
law of electromagnetic induction (sec. 9), Ampere's laws (sec. 12.1),
effects and formulas of electrical engineering and electrochemistry
(sec. 18), magnetic phenomena (sec. 19), the law of gravitational at-
traction (sec. 16.2 and 17.2).
384
The listed laws are confirmed in numerous experiments and are
used in practice in technical devices. Therefore, their logical deriva-
tion from the equations of the ether motion is one of the serious argu-
ments in favor of recognizing the existence of the ether in the meth-
odology of physics, generalizing the experimental facts.
385
In other words, conduction electrons are represented as an elec-
tron gas, similar to the ideal atomic gas of molecular physics [34, p.
336; 36, p. 376]. Therefore, during the motion of free electrons in a
solid, there should appear areas of their accumulation or rarefaction,
that is, a separation of negative and positive charges, as in a plasma.
However, when considering the motion of free electrons in a solid
body, this effect is hushed up, and, apparently, not accidentally, since
it will be seen later that it makes free electrons non-free.
Let us estimate the spatial scale of charge separation, following
the approach typical for plasma physics [160, sec. 1.2].
Imagine that electroneutrality is violated in some layer. To sim-
plify the calculations, we will assume that this violation occurs as a
result of the displacement of the electron layer with the formation of
a negative layer and a layer of positive space charges. The positive
charge is formed by atoms of the crystal lattice of a solid (analog of
ions), from which free electrons have shifted.
The electric field between the layers is equivalent to the field of
a flat capacitor [160, p. 11]. The strength of this field 𝐸𝐸 is defined by
the surface charge density 𝜎𝜎𝑠𝑠 on the "plates" of the capacitor:
𝐸𝐸 = 4𝜋𝜋𝜎𝜎𝑠𝑠 = 4𝜋𝜋𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒,
where 𝑒𝑒 is the electron charge, 𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 is the electron concentration, 𝑥𝑥 is
the layer displacement.
The electron in the layer is affected by the attractive force from
the side of the ions: 𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 = 4𝜋𝜋𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 𝑒𝑒 2 𝑥𝑥. The movement of electrons un-
der its influence leads to a change in the displacement of the layer.
The equation of motion of an electron in the field of this force is
𝑑𝑑 2 𝑥𝑥
𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑒 = 4𝜋𝜋𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 𝑒𝑒 2 𝑥𝑥,
𝑑𝑑𝑡𝑡 2
where 𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑒 is the electron mass. It describes harmonic oscillations with
a frequency
386
𝜔𝜔𝑝𝑝 = �4𝜋𝜋𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 𝑒𝑒 2 /𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑒 .
as in the plasma.
The distance by which an electron with a thermal velocity 𝑣𝑣𝑇𝑇𝑒𝑒 =
�𝑘𝑘𝑇𝑇𝑒𝑒 /𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑒 , where 𝑇𝑇𝑒𝑒 is the temperature of electrons in [K], is displaced
during 1/𝜔𝜔𝑝𝑝 , characterizes the spatial scale of charge separation as-
sociated with thermal motion of charged particles [160, p. 12]:
𝑣𝑣𝑇𝑇𝑒𝑒 𝑘𝑘𝑇𝑇𝑒𝑒
𝑟𝑟𝐷𝐷 = =� .
𝜔𝜔𝑝𝑝 4𝜋𝜋𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 𝑒𝑒 2
387
for such small 𝑟𝑟𝐷𝐷 is the relatively low temperature and high concen-
tration of electrons in the solid compared with the plasma.
It follows from this that atoms in the solid will not allow free
electrons to break electroneutrality at interatomic distances, that is,
they will be allowed to move only at distances smaller than intera-
tomic ones.
So, if free electrons are present in a conductor, then they are al-
most immobile at interatomic distances and the application of a small
potential difference to the conductor (or placing a conductor in a field
with a small potential difference) cannot cause an electric current re-
sulted by the motion of free electrons, and charge concentration in
certain parts of the conductor. But the current and concentration of
charges are observed in experiments with conductors even at very low
voltages.
Thus, the electron theory of conductivity in the solid body con-
tains an internal contradiction: on the one hand, free electrons are con-
sidered to be moving freely between collisions with atoms, on the
other hand, free electrons in the absence of significant external forces
cannot move from atoms at distances greater than interatomic, and
cannot form clusters on scales larger than interatomic.
388
Besides, the attribution of the main role to electrons in the trans-
fer of electric current in the conductor leads to great problems with
the interpretation of many experiments. Here are some examples.
In the physics of the XX century, the Tolman – Stewart experiment
is regarded as the main evidence of the electric current transport in met-
als by electrons [32, p. 226; 34, p. 332]. However, as shown in sec.
23.6.1, if in the generally accepted interpretation of this experiment to
take into account the basic equation of the electronic theory of conduc-
tivity 𝐣𝐣 = 𝑒𝑒𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 𝐯𝐯𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 (where 𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 is the number of conduction electrons per
unit volume, 𝐯𝐯𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 is the average speed of their ordered motion) and take
into account in Newton’s second law, used in this interpretation, the
collision of electrons with conductor atoms, a large number of which
occurs at times of the order of coil braking time (see p. 442), then the
conclusion from the Tolman – Stewart experiments about the current
transport in the conductor by free electrons cannot be done.
The Kettering and Scott experiment is considered as a generali-
zation of the Tolman – Stewart experiment [28, p. 413]. The basic
equation of the electronic theory of conductivity is already used in the
interpretation of the Kettering – Scott experiment. However, the col-
lision of electrons with atoms is still not taken into account. During
the characteristic time of the coil vibration, a huge number of such
collisions occur (see p. 442), which makes to be wrong the assump-
tion, used in the analysis of the experience, that the electrons move
only under the action of an electric field.
From the etheric point of view, in the Kettering – Scott experi-
ment, as in the Tolman – Stewart experiment, the ether flow plays a
major role (see sec. 23.6.1), and the motion of free electrons in the
conductor, if any, is a secondary effect. That is, these experiments can
be considered as confirmation of the existence of the ether.
Another important confirmation of the electronic theory of the
conductance of metals is assumed in physics to be the Wiedemann –
Franz law. However, it is shown in sec. 21.11 that for its explanation
the presence of free electrons in the metal is not required.
389
As already noted in sec. 9, it is known from experiments that the
excited current at one end of a long conductor appears at the other end
much faster than the characteristic time of electrons motion in it. Ac-
cording to, for example, [28, p. 214], the speed of the ordered motion
of electrons in metals is not more than a few centimeters per second,
and in electrolytes it is even smaller. Therefore, the almost instanta-
neous transfer of energy through the wire is not explained by the pos-
sible motion of electrons in it.
In experiments with the explosion of wires by electric current
(sec. 18.10), electrons cannot be the main carrier of the electric cur-
rent energy, since the electrons have time to pass through only a small
part of the wire length before the explosion of the entire wire.
Thus, in the generally accepted interpretation of the current flow
in the wire there is an inconsistency: on the one hand, free electrons
inside the conductor are considered to be the current carrier, on the
other hand, we quote [32, p. 398]: “the energy transmitted by the elec-
tric current moves in the space surrounding the conductor”, and “the
electro-magnetic energy flows into the conductor from the surround-
ing space through its side surface”. In this interpretation, natural ques-
tions arise. Why, for example, in the Joule – Lenz law for the current
thermal power density [36, p. 462], in the expression for the circuit
power (185) and in the formula for the current energy [36, p. 462],
values of the current density and total current are considered inside
the wire, and not in the outer area of the wire? If energy flows into the
wire through the side surface, then how does it forms around this sur-
face, what is the mechanism of its propagation along the surface and
what exactly happens with the energy when it flows into the wire? If
the electromagnetic field is transferred outside the wire and can exist
without electrons, then why do we need to introduce the concept of
free electrons? The penetration of the magnetic field into the metal,
including the skin effect of the high-frequency current, is described
by the magnetic field diffusion equation [28, p. 63], which does not
390
include the parameters of electrons. Then why is it necessary to asso-
ciate the energy of an electric current in a metal with the motion of
free electrons? If free electrons in a conductor are not needed to ex-
plain the current energy, and only an electromagnetic field is needed,
then this confirms the etheric current mechanism, since the field is a
manifestation of the ether motion.
Finding answers to these and other questions under the refusal
from the concept of media, where all processes take place, led physics
to the need of constructing a difficult to interpret quantum theory,
based on the Schrödinger equation. In physics, it is believed that only
quantum theory allows one to construct a dynamic theory of electrical
conductivity, consistent with experiment [28, p. 185].
However, as shown in this book, almost all problems of interpre-
tation and contradictions in physics are easily resolved by accepting
that the processes in nature do not occur in the vacuum, but in some
media – the ether. Herewith, instead of postulating the principles and
the Schrödinger equation for a hard to interpret wave function, only
two initial completely natural conservation laws (4)–(6) are applied:
for the quantity of matter and the quantity of its momentum.
In the etheric interpretation, the electric current in the conductor
is a vortex flow of the ether, see details in sec. 12. All the experimen-
tally known electrodynamic formulas remain in force or are refined
and, as extremely important for understanding the basics of the world,
receive a single theoretical substantiation as a logical consequence of
a very small number of initial premises – the ether equations (4)–(6).
In the etheric representation, the transport of the electric current
energy density, as well as the energy density of any other ether mo-
tion, is described by the vector potential, see sec. 2.3. Sec. 18.9 shows
that the Umov – Poynting vector, used in physics, was introduced ar-
tificially. Therefore, considering on its basis the current energy in a
conductor, see, for example: [32, p. 398], does not reveal the essence
of the general laws.
391
As another example, consider the elimination of contradictions in
the generally accepted interpretation of the transmission of electric
current from a power plant over long distances. The question is that if
the alternating current energy in the wire (phase) is carried by free
electrons that oscillate under the action of an alternating electric field,
then why do we need a second grounded wire (neutral), which, ac-
cording to electrical engineering, acts as a separate conductor
[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid]? After all, the electrons in the
wire phase, as in the electrolyte, should be able to perform work due
to their vibrations.
In the etheric sense, a power station is a source of excess or re-
duced ether pressure (electric potential, see formula (74)), and the
Earth is a very large volume reservoir having its own quasi-constant
ether pressure (quasi-constant potential). Naturally, by equalizing the
ether overpressure or underpressure (or energy density, see sec. 1.4),
work is done in the phase wire. Such an equalization takes place, for
example, if the free ether flow between the wire and the external en-
vironment is ensured, which is done, for example, in the case of good
grounding.
Generally speaking, the ether understanding of electric current
does not require a closed contour or contact with the Earth to perform
work. It is necessary only to ensure in one way or another the outflow
of the ether from the wire or its inflow into the wire.
Thus, seemingly at first glance, the philosophical understanding
of the matter nature as the ether motion allows to begin the justified
development of fundamentally new sources of electric current and
single-conductor energy transfer systems, ignoring the questions from
where the free electrons appear and where will they go.
In other words, it is necessary to learn how to use the ether flow
in nature. For example, near the surface of the Earth there is a fairly
strong electric field ~130 [V/m] (see, for example: [28, p. 82]),
which at a person’s height gives a voltage drop (difference of the ether
392
pressure) ~200 [V] (see also a discussion on p. 587). And the poten-
tial difference between the surface of the Earth and the upper layers
of the atmosphere is ~400 [kV]. The presence of a steady state elec-
tric field, according to (72), means the presence of the ether pressure
gradient. In order to use such potential (pressure) differences, it is
necessary to create somehow the conditions for equalizing the ether
pressure between the end of the grounded wire placed above the
Earth’s surface (the pressure of the ether in the Earth) and the pressure
of the ether in the air surrounding this end. At present, the main known
method of equalizing the ether pressures is the direct contact of two
conductors of electric current or dense bodies. But the air is neither a
good conductor, nor a dense body, therefore the transfer of the ether
pressure in the air to the wire is hampered.
Note interesting studies on the development and application of
single-conductor power transmission systems [156]. However, in
these systems, the task of creating a resonant motion of the ether in
the conductor is considered, but not the task of providing a free ether
flow through the end or surface of the conductor.
In the general case, the calculation of the ether flow inside the wire
requires an accurate formulation of a mathematical problem for the
ether equations. It is necessary to adequately describe the effect of the
current source; set boundary conditions at the ends and the surface of
the wire, describing the interaction of the ether flow with the external
media; build a model of the atomic structure of the conductor, affecting
the ether flow; put the initial conditions. In the simplest approximation,
such a problem is solved in sec. 21.9. However, the consideration of
this problem in the general case is a matter of further research.
Here we will demonstrate the application of the ether theory meth-
odology with the example of a quantitative analysis of another simpli-
fied problem: finding the radial dependences of the ether velocity and
393
density in the wire and related quantities. We will look for steady state
density 𝜌𝜌 and velocity 𝐮𝐮 of the ether inside an infinite rectilinear cylin-
drical wire that does not have free charges. We introduce a cylindrical
coordinate system (𝑟𝑟, 𝜑𝜑, 𝑧𝑧) with unit basis vectors 𝐢𝐢𝑟𝑟 , 𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 , 𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 where the
vector 𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 is directed along the wire. Let the current source create inside
the conductor an electric field 𝐄𝐄0 = 𝐸𝐸0,𝑧𝑧 (1 + 𝛼𝛼)𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 ,, where 𝐸𝐸0,𝑧𝑧 is a
given constant, and the function 𝛼𝛼, to be determined from the solution
of the problem, describes the self-consistency of the current source
field and the ether flow. The interaction of the ether flow with the struc-
tural elements of the wire will be described using Ohm's law (146)
Take the gradient from the first equation. Substitute 𝐄𝐄 from the
fourth equation into Ohm's law. We obtain the expression for 𝐣𝐣, which
we use in the fifth equation. And we have

However, the second condition leads to too bulky formulas. Compact

It remains to find the function 𝛼𝛼(𝑟𝑟), which describes the effect of
the ether flow on the electric field created in the wire by the current
source. This function fell out of solution (292) as a result of using the
condition | α (r) | ≪1 in the fourth equation of the system (290), which
greatly simplifies the formulas for its solution. In the remaining equa-
tions of the system (290), we will not apply this approximation. We
define 𝛼𝛼(𝑟𝑟) so that Ohm's law (289) (the sixth equation in (290))
holds true with not simplified electric field (293), but with a field
(294), that takes into account the correction 𝛼𝛼(𝑟𝑟).
The consistency of the electric field, created by the source, with
the ether flow in the wire is described by the last two equations of the
system (290)
𝐣𝐣 = 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝐮𝐮,
𝐣𝐣 = 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 𝐄𝐄 = 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 𝐸𝐸0,𝑧𝑧 (1 + 𝛼𝛼(𝑟𝑟))𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 .

Formulas (295), (296) allow to draw important conclusions.
At an increase of the current density |𝑗𝑗𝑧𝑧 | = 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 �𝐸𝐸0,𝑧𝑧 (1 + 𝛼𝛼(𝑟𝑟))�
the magnetic field inside the conductor falls. This explains the Meiss-
ner – Ochsenfeld effect, according to which the magnetic field is
pushed out of the conductor during the transition to the superconduc-
tivity mode 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 → ∞, see, for example: [28, p. 320].
The increase of conductivity 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 leads to a weakening of the ether
density and velocity dependences on the radius. That is, the ether flow
density 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮 becomes constant along the radius.

The presence of the formula relating the velocity 𝐮𝐮(𝑟𝑟) with other
ether parameters allows to propose an experiment for estimating the
characteristic ether density inside the wire 𝜌𝜌∗ . Herewith, one should
apply the most accurate formula for 𝐮𝐮(𝑟𝑟) without using the simplifi-
cations made by us only to obtain simple expressions.
If in the steady state to create a small constant current disturbance
at one end of the wire and measure the time of this disturbance arrival
to the other end, then the ratio of the wire length to this time will give
an estimate of the ether motion speed in the wire. According to (133),
the ether speed the wire with a cross section of 2.5 [mm2 ] at the cur-
rent of 0.1 [A] is ~1.8 ∙ 106 [cm/s], which is much smaller than the
speed of light. Therefore, it is possible to estimate the time of disturb-
ance arrival by the delay relative to the light signal. Substituting the
found speed and the measured current density 𝐣𝐣 into the formula for
𝐮𝐮(𝑟𝑟), we find 𝜌𝜌∗ . The results of the proposed experiment will serve
as additional evidence of the existence of the ether.
We emphasize once again that only the simplest problem of the
constant along a wire electric current has been considered and ana-
lyzed here. The formulation and solution of more complex problems,
including for alternating current, will allow a deep study of the elec-
tric current flow mechanism. New knowledge will open the way for
improving the current transmission methods and developing new de-
vices for its generation.

the generalized Zhukovsky force emergence in a disk rotating in a
magnetic field.
In order to compare the electron and the ether theories of conduc-
tivity and the application of the ether theory of the unipolar generator
(sec. 18.11) to the analysis of experimental data, the authors, together
with I.N. Stepanov and V.A. Chizhov designed a unipolar generator
and conducted a series of experiments with it. The design is based on
the ideas of the unipolar N-machine of Bruce de Palma, see, for exam-
ple: [125, p. 72–75]. The scheme of this machine is shown in fig. 10.
401
thickness of 15 [mm] and radius of 𝑟𝑟𝑢𝑢 = 40 [mm]. Copper disk also
has radius 𝑟𝑟𝑢𝑢 .
We emphasize that the use of a copper disk with larger than mag-
net diameter, leads to the weakening of the generated current, since in
the protruding from the surface of the magnet part of the disk the
countercurrent occurs due to a change of the direction of the magnetic
field to opposite near the side surface of the magnet.
The change of the magnetic field to the opposite also takes place
on the side surface of the hole in the center of the magnet, fig. 10. Such
a change also weakens the current if it is taken off from the contact
with the axis. However, this current attenuation is less noticeable due
to the lower linear speed of rotation around the axis (207) for 𝛼𝛼 > 0.
Magnetic field measurements were carried out using an ATE-
8702 magnetometer, which has an error of ±0.0001 [T]. Prior to in-
stallation of the magnets on the axis, the magnitude of the magnetic
field was determined when their planes approached 6.5 [mm ]. The
magnitude of the field in this gap was ≈ 0.4 [T]. Measurements par-
allel to the axis of rotation of the field near the external planes of the
magnets in a configuration mounted with a copper disk yielded
0.34 ± 0.001 [T]. This field rapidly decreases with distance from the
magnet and at a distance of ~7 [cm] becomes equal to ~0.01 [T]. The
field perpendicular to the axis of rotation near the flat and lateral sides
of the magnet is also small ~0.007 [T]. The magnetic field at the lo-
cation of the measuring devices is close to zero. The magnetic field
from the electric motor at a distance from which begins part of the
axis, having a conductive contact with the magnets, is negligible. The
results of measurements of the magnetic field in stationary and rotat-
ing states with different angular speeds practically do not differ.
The rotational frequency of the disks 𝑛𝑛 was determined with the
DT2234B tachometer. The magnitude of the angular speed of rotation
|𝛚𝛚| is associated with the frequency 𝑛𝑛, measured in [rotations/min],
by the equation |𝛚𝛚| = 2π𝑛𝑛/60 [rad/s].
402
To improve the reliability of the measurements, various digital and
analogue multimeters were used, including: UT71E, MAS838, M890G,
SP-110. The multimeter UT71E is 5-digid, MAS838 is 3.5-digit.
Instrument readings were taken by connecting copper wires with
a cross section of 1.5 [mm2 ] to the axis of rotation and the outer con-
tour of the copper disk. The contact resistance at the point of contact
with the rotating elements of the installation was controlled and did
not have a significant effect on the measurements.
In the stationary state of the generator, the measurement of the
resistance of the circuit between the axis and the outer side of the cop-
per disk using a UT71E multimeter gave a value of the order of this
device error – smaller than 0.009 [Ω]. Measurements with other mul-
timeters using shunts showed a similar magnitude. Estimation using
the table value of copper resistivity 0.17 ∙ 10−9 [Ohm ∙ m] on a sec-
tion of a chain with a length of 0.08 [m] with the cross section of
probes contact 0.2 [mm2 ] gives a value of 0.007 [Ω]. Thus, accord-
ing to measurements and theoretical calculations, the resistance 𝑅𝑅𝑢𝑢 of
the considered unipolar generator is small.
It is known from experiments that the magnetoresistance of most
metals, including copper, is small at temperatures of ~20 C0 in a con-
stant magnetic field of up to 2 [T]. The increment of resistance in such
conditions is only ~0.01 % [121, p. 738, left column, bottom]. There-
fore, the resistance of the copper disk, located in the unipolar generator
between the magnets, remains almost the same as without the magnets.
The inductive resistance, according to the equation (195), does
not affect the current in the steady state, when the parameters of the
circuit cease to vary in time (see also [28, p. 541]).
Thus, due to the smallness of 𝑅𝑅𝑢𝑢 , the recorded electric current
can strongly depend on the resistance 𝑅𝑅 of the electrical circuit 𝐼𝐼 =
ℰЖ / (𝑅𝑅𝑢𝑢 + 𝑅𝑅) connected to it in series.
Digital multimeters have a feature that must be considered when
measuring the electric current in the unipolar generator. With the help
of two multimeters, one of which is in the ohmmeter mode, and the
403
second in ampermeter mode, one can verify that the internal resistance
of the digital ampermeter decreases with decreasing sensitivity. For
example, in the multimeter MAS838, the modes 2, 20, 200,
10000 [10−3 A] correspond to its internal resistances 105, 15, 6.4,
0.7 [Ohm]. As a result, in 10 [A] mode, a much higher current will be
registered in the circuit consisting only of a unipolar generator and
this digital ampermeter, than in the mode 2 [10−3 A].
At an increase in the rotation frequency 𝑛𝑛 from 200 ± 5 to
2500 ± 25 [rpm] a voltage ℰЖ and a current measured by MAS838
in the mode 2 [10−3 A], changed linearly from 0.00400 ± 0.0001 to
0.0710 ± 0.0005 [V] and from 0.051±0.001 to 0.687±0.001 [10−3 A].
The linear dependence of the voltage on the angular speed in the ex-
periment is appropriate to the formula (208) obtained in sec. 18.11 for
the Zhukovsky emf ℰЖ . Changing of rotation direction led to a change
in the sign of the voltage and the current to the opposite. Herewith,
their absolute values differed only in the third significant figure.
The resistance of a circuit section is equal to the ratio of the volt-
age and current measured on it. For all considered rotational frequen-
cies, it turned out to be approximately 100 [Ohm], which corresponds
to the internal resistance of MAS838 in the mode 2 [10−3 A]. That is,
the resistance of the circuit consisting of a unipolar generator and a
digital ampermeter is determined by the resistance of the ampermeter.
We emphasize that the current in the circuit with a unipolar gen-
erator can be very large even at low emf. For example, in the case of
a short circuit of the axis and the external circumference of a unipolar
generator, the resistance of the circuit is determined by the resistance
of the generator and the current 𝐼𝐼 = ℰЖ /𝑅𝑅𝑢𝑢 can be greater than
0.071 [V] / 0.007 [Ohm] = 10 [A] at a rotation frequency of 2500
[rpm]. However, the flow of such a current can be impeded by an
increased resistance at the contacts, which can be worse "penetrated"
at low voltage. In practice, liquid conductors are used in the contacts
of unipolar generators.

The electronic theory of conductivity explains the various prop-
erties of matter by the existence and motion of electrons in it, see, for
example: [34, sec. 147–150; 36, p. 376–378]. In the classical electron
theory of metals, it is assumed that the motion of electrons obeys the
laws of classical Newtonian mechanics, the interaction of electrons
between themselves is neglected, and the interaction of electrons with
positive ions of the crystal lattice is reduced only to collisions. In other
words, conduction electrons are considered as an electron gas, similar
to an ideal atomic gas of molecular physics [34, p. 336; 36, p. 376].
Here are the experimental facts showing that the electric current
in the copper disk of the considered unipolar generator is not ex-
plained by the rotation of the magnet and is not explained by the elec-
tronic theory of conductivity.
1. The impact of a permanent magnet, rotating along the north –
south axis and having a cylindrically symmetric relative to this
axis magnetic field, is considered in physics, which general-
izes experimental facts, equivalent to the effect of a motion-
less magnet field. For example, such a rotation does not create
a current in a unipolar machine with the still copper disk [127;
157, sec. 2, example 1], does not affect differently the needle
and the other magnet [157, sec. 3.2], does not change the lo-
cation of the metal shavings. This effect can be explained by
the fact that even at rotation with low speed, the domain's cur-
rent in a relatively small area of space inside the magnet
quickly changes to the current of another domain, and the field
outside the magnet, determined by a very large number of do-
mains, depends weakly on this change. Thus, the action of the
magnetic field in a rotating and stationary generator is the
same. Therefore, the rotation of the magnet does not explain
the appearance of the current in the copper disk.
2. The electric current cannot be explained by the centrifugal ef-
fect of free electrons, since then the sign of the current would
405
not depend on the direction of the rotation, but in the experi-
ment the sign of the current changes when the direction of ro-
tation of the generator changes. Besides, a simple analysis per-
formed in sec. 23.2.1, shows that free electrons in a solid con-
ductor, in the absence of strong external influences, can devi-
ate from the ions of the crystal lattice only by distances smaller
than the interatomic ones.
3. The effect of circular motion of electrons together with a disk
also does not explain the appearance of a current.
Before the start of rotation, there is no electric field.
If we assume that free electrons begin to rotate in an or-
derly manner together with the disk, then the magnetic com-
ponent of the Lorentz force begins to act on them. However,
the magnetic field prevents the motion of charged particles
across it due to occurrence of the Larmor rotation under the
action of the magnetic component of the Lorentz force (mag-
netic trap). In the unipolar generator, for a linear velocity
~5 [m/s] of electrons rotating with disk across the magnetic
field of 0.4 [T], the Larmor radius would be 7. 1 ∙ 10−11 [m],
which is significantly less than the average interatomic dis-
tance in copper (see sec. 23.6.1, p. 441). Under such condi-
tions, electrons would be trapped by a magnetic field in copper
and could not move radially in an orderly manner. Therefore,
the radial electric current should not occur during rotation. A
radial electric field that was absent before the start of rotation
should not appear as well, since according to Ohm’s law it is
proportional to the current.
Besides, if in the unipolar generator the current was carried
by electrons as a result of some effect different from the Lorentz
force, then a large current would be observed when turning off
the longitudinal to the rotating axis magnetic field, which ob-
406
structs motion of electrons along the radius. However, shut-
down of the magnetic field does not increase the current, but,
on the contrary, reduces it to barely noticeable values [167].
In the general case, to test the role of electrons in the
transport of the electric current in a conductor, one can suggest
an experiment similar to [171, p. 478–480], in which the com-
plete disappearance of the anode current is achieved by in-
creasing of the magnetic field. To carry out such an experi-
ment, it is necessary to ensure the possibility of the constant
magnetic field creating of different magnitudes in the direction
transverse to the wire. Emf source should be taken sufficiently
weak so that the electric term in the Lorentz force can be made
noticeably smaller than the magnetic term, in which the aver-
age velocity of the directed motion of the electrons is set from
the electronic theory of conductance. If the electric current in
the circuit does not depend on the magnitude of the magnetic
field transverse to the wire, it is not the electrons that deter-
mine the current flow, since, according to the equation of the
charge motion under the action of the magnetic component of
the Lorentz force, the electron is locked due to Larmor rotation
and its motion along the wire in a weak electric field is signif-
icantly hampered. It should be expected that the proposed ex-
periment will confirm the etheric nature of the electrical con-
ductivity of metals, since it is already known from experi-
ments that their magnetoresistance under typical conditions is
extremely small [121, p. 738, left column, bottom].
4. The electric current in the unipolar generator cannot be ex-
plained by the electromagnetic induction law, since in the con-
struction under consideration the flux of the magnetic field
through the plane of the closed measuring circuit (frame) is
zero. Moreover, the experiment with a frame rotating with a
magnet and a disk (that is, fixed relative to them) shows the
407
appearance of emf and the current, despite the fact that the
frame in this case does not move relative to the field.
So, in the rotating state of the generator the same magnetic field
acts in the copper disk as in the stationary state. The appearing current
cannot be explained by the centrifugal motion of electrons or their
rotation with the disk. The law of electromagnetic induction gives
zero current. However, the electric current is observed during rota-
tion. Thus, the electron theory of conductivity cannot explain the ap-
pearance of a current in the unipolar generator, that is, not electrons
are the main carrier of the current. A different model is required to
describe the mechanism of this effect.
The ether theory gives a simple and understandable explanation
of the electric current occurrence in the unipolar generator. Since emf
is not explained by the motion of electrons, the rotating disk should
create a circular ether flow with a non-zero linear velocity 𝐕𝐕, other-
wise at 𝐕𝐕 = 0 emf would be absent, as in the case of a non-rotating
disk. The overlay of a circular ether flow and the vortex flow of the
magnetic field leads to the appearance in the radial direction of the
generalized Zhukovsky force (121), which creates different pressures
of the ether on the axis and the edge of the disk. The Zhukovsky emf
arises (208). A highly vortical (131) ether flow in the radial direction
appears – the electric current.
The circular ether motion, caused by the rotation of the disk struc-
tural elements, in combination with the radial one, induced by Zhu-
kovsky force, forms a spiral flow of the ether in the copper disk of the
unipolar generator. Let us estimate the parameters of this flow.
Measurement of a voltage, angular velocity and magnetic field
allows to calculate with formula (208) the value of the parameter 𝛼𝛼,
which describes the radial distribution of the ether tangential velocity
𝐕𝐕 (207). The value of 𝛼𝛼 is defined by the structure of the disk material
through which the ether radial flow moves. The value of 𝛼𝛼 turned out
to be equal to 1.3 for the whole considered range of rotational fre-
quencies 𝑛𝑛 ∈ [200,2500] [rpm]. The function (𝑟𝑟/𝑅𝑅)𝛼𝛼 at 𝛼𝛼 = 1.3 on
408
the interval 𝑟𝑟 ∈ [0.75,4] [cm] is close to linear. That is, the ether ro-
tates almost together with the disk. The nonlinearity at small 𝑟𝑟 can be
explained by a lower linear speed of the disk rotation near the axis, at
which it becomes more difficult for the circular motion of the disk
material structural elements to rotate the ether at the speed 𝐕𝐕.
The unipolar generator at 𝛼𝛼 ≠ −1 creates a vortex in the ether,
since 𝛁𝛁 × 𝐕𝐕 ≠ 0, if 𝛼𝛼 ≠ −1. The magnitude of the magnetic field ap-
propriate to this vortex is calculated by the formula (20)
𝑟𝑟 𝛼𝛼
𝐁𝐁𝐕𝐕 = 𝑐𝑐𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝐕𝐕) = 𝑐𝑐𝛁𝛁 × �𝜌𝜌𝜌𝜌 � � 𝛚𝛚 × 𝐢𝐢𝑟𝑟 �. (297)
𝑅𝑅
The vector 𝐁𝐁𝐕𝐕 is directed along the axis of rotation in the case of the
ether density 𝜌𝜌, independent of the coordinate along this axis. For
𝜌𝜌 ~ 𝜌𝜌0 , where 𝜌𝜌0 is the unperturbed ether density (227), at the fre-
quency 𝑛𝑛 = 2500 [rpm] in the considered unipolar generator
|𝐁𝐁𝐕𝐕 | ~ 4 ∙ 10−4 [T] (see also sec. 23.6.6), which is much smaller than
the magnet field value.

5000 [A], but had practically no effect on the power consumption of
the motor driving the generator. It seemed that after re-turning on the
magnetic field, a power of 5000[W] appeared from nowhere. This re-
sult is explained with creation by the unipolar generator of the stable
ether vortex, which, due to the vortex momentum (magnetic field mo-
ment) conservation law, see sec. 10, tends to persist when the mag-
netic field is turned off. As a result, when the magnetic field is
switched on again, significantly smaller energy from the drive is re-
quired to maintain the ether vortex, which creates a current of
5000 [A] when interacting with the magnetic field vortex.
The conservation of the vortex momentum can also explain the
Aspden experiment [159; 125, p. 69]. In this experiment, the energy
of the electric motor spent on bringing the massive magnet into rota-
tion was analyzed. It is claimed that the energy required to spinup the
magnet turns out to be 20 times greater than the spinup energy of a
non-magnetic material of the same mass and shape, and after stopping
and restarting the system, no later than in a minute, 10 times smaller
energy is required to spinup the magnet. Unfortunately, the authors
could not find a detailed description of Aspden's experiments, allow-
ing to reproduce them. Nevertheless, in sec. 23.6.4, the possibility of
creating a phantom in the ether is demonstrated experimentally.
410
Podkletnov's experiment on counteracting gravity is explained by
transferring of an impulse of the ether to an object, see sec. 23.10.1.
In physics, these effects do not find a clear explanation.
For a full-value perception of a quasi-permanent ether flow 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮 ≈
𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐, a material is required that poorly passes the ether through itself
(see in this connection sec. 23.10.2, 23.10.3), or, according to the
equation of motion (23), a barrier in the form of a strong ether pres-
sure gradient.
Therefore, from the etheric point of view, attempts to develop
engines based on the transmission of an electromagnetic wave im-
pulse to an object look quite natural.
Such attempts include the widely announced EmDrive project
[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_resonant_cavity_thruster]. Information
about the strength of the EmDrive is contradictory: in some experi-
ments, including NASA, it is claimed that it exists, in others – that it
is absent [hi-news.ru/technology/nevozmozhnyj-dvigatel-okazalsya-
dejstvitelno-nevozmozh ny.html].
Physics, which has thrown out the concept of media (ether) from
the arsenal of its concepts, denies the possibility of creating EmDrive
by referring to the violation of the momentum conservation law
[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_resonant_cavity_thruster]. In the etheric
sense, on the contrary, EmDrive is possible precisely in accordance
with the momentum conservation law.
The absence of emitted radiation in EmDrive, as well as the use
of a resonator chamber and superconducting plates [hi-tech.mail.ru/
news/emdrive] confirm the ether principle of its operation: the quasi-
constant ether flow is difficult to register, and a superconductor makes
it difficult for such a flow to move (sec. 23.10.2).
The exchange of momentum between the ether flow and matter,
as well as the general conditions for the effectiveness of this exchange
formulated in this section, should allow to purposefully improve the
design of the EmDrive for obtaining significant thrust. For example,
the strengthening of the barrier to the ether flow can be attempted to
achieve by rotating of the superconductor (sec. 23.6).

blade. A piece of wire with a length of 2𝑙𝑙 = 20 [cm] was placed in-
side a tube with a good vacuum. A microheater was located in the
middle of the wire, see fig. 11. During the experiment, the tempera-
ture of the microheater changed from 20o to 70o [C]. Thermocouples
were installed at the ends 1 and 2 of the wire. In the vertical position
of the wire, the temperature ~30o [C] on the lower thermocouple was
established in 𝑡𝑡1 ≈ 52 [s], on the upper one – in 𝑡𝑡2 ≈ 48 [s], that is,
the difference was ∆𝑡𝑡 ≡ 𝑡𝑡1 − 𝑡𝑡2 ≈ 4 [s], and the ratio 𝑡𝑡2 /𝑡𝑡1 ≈ 0.92.
Turning the wire by 180o did not change the result. In the horizontal
position of the wire (fig. 11, right), the heat establishment times on
thermocouples were equal 𝑡𝑡1 = 𝑡𝑡2 ≈ 50 [s].
At the wire length of 2𝑙𝑙 = 100 [cm], the ∆𝑡𝑡 difference in the ver-
tical position has significantly decreased.

horizontal positions. The microheater is at point 0.

The theory of free electrons in a metal does not explain the effect
of differences in the establishment of heat at points 1 and 2. The ex-
ternal electric field, including the electric field of the negatively
charged Earth, inside the metal tube, where the conductor is located,
is absent in a quasi-equilibrium state (sec. 18.13), so it does not influ-
ence the electrons motion inside the conductor. Gravity should move
free electrons down. Then, if we ignore the Archimedes force in the
electron gas and the Coulomb interaction of free electrons with posi-
tively charged nuclei of the lattice atoms (ions), then the lower end of
the wire, rather than the upper, would have to heat up. However, tak-
ing into account the Coulomb interaction leads to the conclusion that
in a fairly wide range of the external force values (including the Ar-
chimedes force), free electrons can shift relative to positively charged
nuclei only by very small distances comparable to atomic, see sec.
23.2.1. Therefore, according to the electronic theory of heat conduc-
tion, the time for establishing the heat transferred by the chaotic mo-
tion of free electrons to the lower and upper ends of the wire should
be the same, despite the presence of gravity and Archimedes forces.
Sec. 21.6 considers the simplest model of heat transfer in a sub-
stance with a crystal lattice. The concept of a thermal quantum is for-
mulated there – the ether flow, generated by thermal oscillations of a
structural element (node) of the crystal lattice, in a small region with
a certain direction of velocity. The speed of the thermal quantum mo-
tion in the direction of heat propagation 𝐢𝐢𝐡𝐡𝐡𝐡 is introduced (260):

Therefore, the average velocity 𝐮𝐮0,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 in the direction of the heat flow
𝐢𝐢𝐡𝐡𝐡𝐡 increases the thermal conductivity coefficient, and against the heat
flow decreases it.
Under this experiment conditions, the vector 𝐢𝐢𝐡𝐡𝐡𝐡 is directed up-
wards in the upper part of the rod (wire) and downwards in the lower
part, see fig. 11. From the following it will be clear that throughout
the entire wire the average velocity of the thermal quanta directional

generated by not yet heated lattice nodes. The thermal quanta of speed
𝑢𝑢� х,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 , colliding with the lattice nodes, transmit impulse to them. Ex-
cited in such a way, the nodes themselves begin to generate thermal
quanta with an increased thermal velocity.
Let us estimate with the help of the equation of state (15) the ratio
of the ether densities in the thermal quanta, which have different
speeds of thermal motion. We take the space velocity average from
(15), assuming the Maxwell distribution of newtonians in the thermal
quantum (238), (239), and obtain for average values in the thermal
quanta moving at different speeds

The same relation can be also obtained from the Clapeyron – Men-
deleev equation (243), which directly operates with average values.
It can be seen from the formula (307) that at ∆𝑇𝑇 > 0, the ether
density in the thermal quantum decreases. The Archimedes force, act-
ing on the thermal quantum, turns out to be greater than the force of
gravity applied to it. Floating up of the heated thermal quantum oc-
curs, similar to the rise of warm air from a heat source.
In the simplest model of the thermal quantum floating up we take
into account only Archimedes force 𝐅𝐅𝐴𝐴 = 𝜌𝜌̅𝑚𝑚,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 𝐠𝐠𝑉𝑉𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 acting on it (see,
for example: [26, p. 477]), gravity force 𝑀𝑀𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 𝐠𝐠, where 𝐠𝐠 is the free fall
acceleration, and the resistance force from the crystal lattice. The ap-
pearance of the ether added mass motion carried along by the thermal
quantum is neglected, taking into account the extremely low viscosity
419
and self-diffusion of the ether (sec. 21.7, 21.8). We also neglect the
centrifugal acceleration (Coriolis force), considering that due to the
low angular speed of the Earth's rotation, the motion of the entire ex-
perimental setup during the observation time is close to the uniform
straight line.
Besides, we will not consider the details of the thermal quanta
disappearance process when they transfer their kinetic energy to the
lattice nodes and the subsequent regeneration of the thermal quanta
by the lattice nodes. We only take into account that after the transfer
of the impulse by the thermal quantum to the lattice node, the direc-
tional velocity 𝑢𝑢0,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 is reproduced by this node in the new thermal
quantum generated by it. In the simplest model, we represent such a
process as the floating up of the thermal quantum at a greater length
compared with its average free path 𝜆𝜆̅𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 .
We use the pressure drop model (265) to describe a resistance to
motion, as in sec. 21.9. Define the linear density of the resistance co-
efficient, provided by the crystal lattice to the thermal quantum mo-
tion, by analogy with its resistance to the flow of newtonians 𝛾𝛾 (263):

So, the projection on the 𝑥𝑥 axis of Newton's second law for the
motion of the heated thermal quantum surrounded by the ether, having
a density of 𝜌𝜌̅𝑚𝑚 , under the action of the considered forces has the form
𝑑𝑑𝑢𝑢0,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡

data. In the methodology of mathematical modeling, this confirms the
correctness of the ether model of heat propagation in the conductor.
We emphasize that the method presented in this section allows,
using the measured time ratio 𝑡𝑡2 /𝑡𝑡1 (309), to study the geometry of
𝛾𝛾𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 and 𝛼𝛼𝑡𝑡𝑞𝑞 , which determines the resistance of the internal structure
of substances to the directional motion of the ether thermal quanta.
The role of electrons in the heat transfer from the source can be
checked in the following modification of the experiment considered.
At the upper end of the wire place a contact for removing excess elec-
trons compared to the lower end of the wire. Then periodically close
this contact. If a faster arrival of heat to the upper point is ensured by
an increase in the concentration of free electrons there, then with time,
with an electrically isolated micro source, a positive charge should
remain on the wire, and a negative charge on the contact.
From the ether position, the closure of the contact ensures the
transfer of the ether pressure between the conductors. At a higher tem-
perature of the upper end, the newtonians motion increases in it, and
therefore, according to the equation of state (15), the pressure should
fall. This situation corresponds to the occurrence of a positive charge
(sec. 18.13), that is, in the etheric sense, the positive charge must be
removed from the upper end, not the negative one.
The experiment of A.R. Lepeshkin analyzed in this section is ac-
tually a modification of the experiment proposed by K.E. Tsiolkovsky
on the study of heat conduction in a vertical column of the solid body
in the gravity field [161]. The result was the opposite of what was
expected by K.E. Tsiolkovsky – the heat goes up first. In the etheric
interpretation, this is explained by taking into account the action of
Archimedes' force.
Consider the thermal quanta motion in the vertically positioned
wire in the absence of heating. The ether flow in the thermal quantum
has an increased velocity 𝐮𝐮, since it is created as a result of the "push"
of the ether by a lattice node. If in equilibrium the ether pressure in
the thermal quantum does not differ much from the pressure of the
426
surrounding ether 𝑝𝑝, then, according to the equation of state (15), the
ether density in the thermal quantum 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 must be smaller than the
density of the surrounding ether. Then, under the influence of Archi-
medes force, the thermal quantum will flow up and a pressure differ-
ence will form at the ends of the wire, that is, a potential difference
(75). It would be interesting to measure this difference in an experi-
ment, as suggested by K.E. Tsiolkovsky [161], and see how long it
can last. We emphasize that, according to the results of the A.R. Lep-
eshkin experiments, one should start study with a short wire.

where 𝜔𝜔 is the angular speed of the disk rotation, 𝐢𝐢𝑟𝑟 is the unit vector

The thermal quantum does not have a rigid connection with the
crystal lattice of the disk and can shift under the action of various
forces. Let's compose the equation of the thermal quantum directional
motion in the radial direction relative to the rotating reference frame.
In the experiment under consideration, centrifugal acceleration
2
𝜔𝜔 𝑟𝑟𝐢𝐢𝑟𝑟 due to the high angular speed of rotation 𝜔𝜔 greatly exceeds the
acceleration caused by gravity and the generalized Zhukovsky force
that occurs when the conductor rotates in the Earth’s magnetic field.
Therefore, we will not take into account these forces.
In the non-uniform force field, the analogue of Archimedes' law
is in effect (see, for example: [9, sec. 26, 27; 15, ch. VIII, sec. 1;
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes%27_principle]). Let us calculate
the Archimedes force directed inward the thermal quantum, caused
by the pressure 𝑝𝑝𝐴𝐴 = 𝜌𝜌̅𝑚𝑚 (𝜔𝜔2 𝑟𝑟)𝑟𝑟/2 [9, sec. 26, 27; 15, ch. VIII] in the
field of the centrifugal force:

Here the gradient theorem is applied [51, sec. 5.6.1; 55, formula (27)]
and 𝑟𝑟 is taken out from under the integral sign due to the small volume
of the thermal quantum 𝑉𝑉𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 .
In sec. 23.3, based on the analysis of experiments with the unipo-
lar generator, it was shown that in the steady state the ether rotates
practically together with the disk at a speed (207), that is with 𝛼𝛼 ~ 1:
𝐕𝐕 = 𝛚𝛚 × 𝐢𝐢𝑟𝑟 𝑟𝑟 = 𝜔𝜔𝜔𝜔𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 ,
429
At the periphery of the disk the ether moves faster. Therefore,
according to the equation of state (15), the pressure there is smaller:
which pushes the thermal quanta to the edge with the force

the supplanted ether. Per unit volume of the thermal quantum we get

conductivity of steels is usually lower than the thermal conductivity
of iron, that is, in the alloy the proportion of obstacles to the motion
of the thermal quanta increases. We take this into account in 𝛼𝛼𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡,0 0,
which we set equal to the ratio of a thermal conductivity of well-con-
ducting materials 400 [W/(m · K)] and the typical thermal conduc-
tivity of some steels 40 [W/(m · K)] (see. [121, p. 347–350])

As well as above, we will carry out the analysis in the mobile
polar coordinate system rotating together with the disk. For conven-
ience, we direct the 𝑥𝑥 axis from the point 0 to the point 2 in the section
02, and from the point 0 to the point 3 in the section 03, fig. 13.
The radial displacement rate of the thermal quantum estimated
above is much smaller than the speed of its thermal motion. Therefore,
it can be neglected when studying the thermal quantum motion in seg-
ments 02 and 03.
The micro source of heat in the stationary state generates at the
point 0 the thermal quanta with the root-mean-square speed of thermal
motion

In the coordinate system rotating with the disk, the linear rotation
velocity |𝜔𝜔|𝑟𝑟0, where 𝑟𝑟0 is the radius of the micro source, is not added
at generating of the thermal quantum in the direction of the point 2 and
is not subtracted at generating in the direction of the point 3 (fig. 13):
The thermal quantum is acted upon from the lattice by the re-
sistance force, depending on its speed relative to the lattice, which
tends to equalize the speed of the thermal quantum with the speed of
the lattice, that is, to zero the speed of the thermal quantum in the
rotating coordinate system. Due to the deformation of the disk in the
azimuthal direction at the fast rotation, the resistance of the material
to the thermal quanta motion in the directions along and against the
rotation can be different: 𝛾𝛾𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡,𝑘𝑘 , 𝑘𝑘 = 2, 3.
In the simplest model of the thermal quantum motion in azimuth,
we take into account only the force of the lattice resistance and the
transport velocity of the flow, which enters the total time derivative.

The directions of the heat flow 𝐢𝐢𝐡𝐡𝐡𝐡 and the azimuthal velocity vec-
tor 𝐮𝐮0,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡,𝜑𝜑 in segments 02 and 03 coincide. Therefore, from the formu-

If the properties of the rotating disk are the same in the directions
along and against the rotation 𝛾𝛾𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡,2 = 𝛾𝛾𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡,3 , then the difference in time
does not occur 𝑡𝑡2 /𝑡𝑡3 = 1. However, a steel alloy is usually non-uni-
form and contains many defects. During fast rotation, deformations
of the disk regions can occur with the grid being pressed in the direc-
tion opposite to the rotation and depressed along the rotation. As a
result, it is more difficult for the thermal quanta to move in the direc-
tion of pressing and easier in the other direction. A similar situation
can occur when the speed of the thermal quantum is generated by a
micro source. We take into account this effect in the solution using
the coefficient 𝛽𝛽𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡,𝜔𝜔

Wiedemann – Franz formula (278), underestimates the coefficient of
the thermal conductivity by a factor of several thousands, since by as
many times it decreases the conductivity [32, p. 213].
In the etheric interpretation, an increase in the thermal conduc-
tivity in the presence of vibrations is explained by the appearance of
the directional velocity 𝐮𝐮0,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 of the thermal quanta in addition to their
chaotic thermal velocity (260).
Quantitative study of this effect is carried out with the method
presented in sec. 23.5.1, 23.5.2. For a vibrating rod, it is necessary to
take into account the force of inertia in the coordinate system relative
to which the rod is stationary. For a vibrating tuning fork – account
for the centrifugal force, since in each period of oscillation its free end
motion is close to motion along a circle.
A quantitative analysis of experiments with vibrating rods does
not bring anything essentially new to the illustration of the ether the-
ory technique application to practical problems solving. Therefore,
such an analysis is not given here.

amount of electricity flowing through the coil decelerating during
time 𝑡𝑡0 until complete stop.
It is stated that the readings of the galvanometer 𝑄𝑄 and the known
values of 𝑣𝑣0 , 𝐿𝐿, 𝑅𝑅 in the experiment give the sign and the value of the
ratio 𝑒𝑒/𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑒 , which correspond to the ratio of the electron charge and
its mass.
Let us analyze in detail the expression (314). Express 𝑅𝑅 through
the specific resistivity 𝑅𝑅0 : 𝑅𝑅 = (1 + 𝛼𝛼𝛼𝛼)𝑅𝑅0 𝐿𝐿/𝑆𝑆, where 𝛼𝛼 is the tem-
perature coefficient of resistance [36, p. 380], 𝑇𝑇 is the temperature, 𝑆𝑆
is the transversal cross-section of the wire. We use the formula (194):
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 𝐼𝐼(𝑡𝑡)𝑑𝑑𝑡𝑡 = 𝑗𝑗(𝑡𝑡)𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆, where 𝑗𝑗(𝑡𝑡) is the current density. According
to the electronic theory of conductivity, 𝑗𝑗(𝑡𝑡) = 𝑒𝑒𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 𝑤𝑤(𝑡𝑡), where 𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 is
the number of conduction electrons per unit volume, 𝑤𝑤(𝑡𝑡) is the av-
erage speed of their ordered motion.
According to the original hypothesis, the electrons rotate with the
coil wire, therefore their speed 𝑤𝑤(𝑡𝑡) should be proportional to the
speed of the coil contour 𝑣𝑣(𝑡𝑡): 𝑤𝑤(𝑡𝑡) = 𝜂𝜂𝜂𝜂(𝑡𝑡), where 𝜂𝜂 is some con-
stant of the order of unity. For the charge flowing during deceleration,
we have
𝑡𝑡0 𝑡𝑡0 𝑡𝑡0
𝑄𝑄 = � 𝐼𝐼(𝑡𝑡)𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 𝑒𝑒𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 𝑆𝑆 � 𝑤𝑤(𝑡𝑡)𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 𝑒𝑒𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 𝑆𝑆𝜂𝜂 � 𝑣𝑣(𝑡𝑡)𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑. (315)

In the left hand side of this expression there must be a constant,
independent of the circuit properties and the conditions of the exper-
iment. The first multiplier in the right hand side is defined by the prop-
erties of the circuit, the second – by the method and duration of the
coil deceleration. These factors, generally speaking, do not depend on
each other. Therefore, the right hand side, in the general case, is not
constant, but is determined by the specific conditions of the experi-
ment. The contradiction is obtained: the left hand side must always be
constant, if this is the ratio of the electron parameters, and the right
hand side is not necessarily constant. This means that the equality
(314), generally speaking, is not fulfilled. In accordance with the
method of proof by contradiction, we conclude that the hypothesis of
the existence of free electrons in a metal, which, when metal is decel-
erated, move according to Newton's second law under the action of
inertia, is not true, as it leads to the contradiction.
The reason for this contradiction is that the derivation of formula
(314) in [32, p. 226, 227; 28, p. 411–413; 34, sec. 145] does not take
into account the basic equation of the electronic theory of conductiv-
ity 𝑗𝑗(𝑡𝑡) = 𝑒𝑒𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 𝑤𝑤(𝑡𝑡), according to which the charge 𝑄𝑄, flowing during
decelerating of the coil, depends on how it is decelerated (315).
Let's give more estimates showing inaccuracy of Tolmen – Stew-
art experiments interpretation accepted in physics.
Copper has density 8.96 [g/cm3 ] and molar mass of 63.5 [g/mol]
[121, p. 99]. Therefore 1 [cm3 ] includes 0.141 [ mol] or 0.141 𝑁𝑁𝐴𝐴 =
0.85⋅1023 copper atoms, where 𝑁𝑁𝐴𝐴 is Avogadro number it means that
the concentration of copper atoms is 𝑛𝑛Cu = 0.85⋅1023 [1/cm3 ]. Ap-
3
proximate representation of the volume 𝑟𝑟Cu 𝑛𝑛Cu ≈ 1 [cm3 ] gives the av-
erage distance between atoms 𝑟𝑟Cu ≈ 1/ 3� 𝑛𝑛Cu ~ 2⋅10−8 [cm] (similar
reasoning was used, for example, in [30, sec. 17]). Taking into account
a bivalence of copper, we have 2𝑛𝑛Cu ~ 2⋅1023 [1/cm3 ] free electrons
in it. Free path of a trial electron between atoms 𝜆𝜆 = 1/(𝑛𝑛Cu 𝜎𝜎) [121, p.
375] at the characteristic diffusion section of electrons scattering on at-
oms 𝜎𝜎 ~ 10−16 [cm2 ] [175, p. 151] is 𝜆𝜆 ~ 10−7 [cm]. We get 𝜆𝜆 ~ 𝑟𝑟Cu,
what means the strong influence of collisions with lattice atoms on the
441
free electrons motion. The electron moving with the speed of the coil
rotation 𝑣𝑣0 ~ 104 [cm/s], passes a distance of 𝜆𝜆 ~ 10−7 [cm] in
10−11 [s], that is has no opportunity for the free inertial motion during
time 𝑡𝑡0 of the coil deceleration, which is fractions of a second [173, p.
110]. In other words, the second Newton's laws without collisions, used
in derivation of the formula (314), is not applicable for the description of
the free electrons motion on times of the order of 𝑡𝑡0 .
The inaccuracy of interpretation of the Tolmen – Stewart experi-
ment as inertia of the free electrons follows also from the results of
sec. 23.2.1, where it is shown that in the quasi-neutral conductor, in
the absence of larger external forces, the free electrons (if present)
cannot depart from atoms on distance, larger than interatomic.
Let's give the etheric interpretation of the Tolmen – Stewart ex-
periment.
According to measurements, emf is observed at sharp decelera-
tion of the coil with a wire. As shown above, the free electrons do not
explain emf emergence. Therefore it is natural to assume that a rota-
tion of the coil leads to the rotation of the ether in its winding. At
sharp deceleration the ether continues to move in a wire according to
the momentum preservation law (5). Emf arises. The free electrons if
they are in metal, can move in the wire together with the ether, but the
main role is played by the ether flow.
Let's calculate generated emf, assuming that the external mag-
netic field is compensated.
The analysis of the ether motion in the unipolar generator showed
that the ether rotates practically together with the disk, see p. 408.
Such motion creates a magnetic field 𝐁𝐁𝐕𝐕 (297). Therefore we present
emf, generated during coil deceleration, in the form of the sum of the
electric field emf and Zhukovsky emf (206)

The integral over 𝐿𝐿 is the contour integral of the second kind. The
sign of such integral depends on the choice of the bypass direction of
the curve 𝐿𝐿. The direction of the bypass will be chosen below at in-
troduction of the parametrical representation of 𝐿𝐿. Electromotive
force is considered positive if the curve 𝐿𝐿 crosses the current source
in the direction from the negative pole to the positive [28, p. 193].
Substitute ℰ in the ether expressions for electric and magnetic

in which each ring is cut and one of the ends of a section has contact
with the previous ring, and another – with the following, so that the
direction of the winding bypass remains. Besides, we carry out calcu-
lations in the assumption that the ether density in the wire is close to
constant 𝜌𝜌 ≈ 𝜌𝜌Cu = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐.

Let us introduce the cylindrical coordinate system (𝑟𝑟, 𝜑𝜑, 𝑧𝑧) with
the axis directed along the coil axis. Let's denote unit vectors of this
system local basis as 𝐢𝐢𝑟𝑟 , 𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 , 𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 . Parametrical representation of a circle

We emphasize that the use of a tightly wound spiral allows to
neglect the radial current when interpreting the experiment.
The analysis of experiments with the unipolar generator showed
that the ether rotates practically together with the conductor, see p.
408. Such motion creates the magnetic field 𝐁𝐁𝐕𝐕 (297). Therefore we

its minimum radius). Let the spiral rotate in the direction of the vec-
tor 𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 . After its abrupt stop, the ether continues to move by inertia in
the same direction. To estimate the extreme values of the resulting
emf, consider the point in time at which the ether is still moving at the
outer end of the spiral with the same speed as before deceleration (the
ether pressure 𝑝𝑝 is still smaller than the external pressure 𝑝𝑝∗ (15)), and
at the inner end of the spiral the ether speed in the wire is zero
𝑣𝑣0,1 (0) = 0 (pressure is equalized 𝑝𝑝 ≈ 𝑝𝑝∗). Then at this moment we
have from (317)

where «+» corresponds to the rotation of the right spiral in the direc-
tion of 𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 , and «−» – against it.
449
In the spiral with decreasing radius at increasing of the angle 𝜑𝜑:
𝑟𝑟(𝜑𝜑) = 𝑟𝑟𝑁𝑁𝑤𝑤 − 𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎/(2𝜋𝜋) , 𝑎𝑎 > 0 (left spiral), the ether inertial motion
occurs in the opposite direction compared to the right spiral. There-
fore, the state of velocities at the ends of the left spiral changes places

For the left spiral, negative emf occurs when its rotation along 𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 is
stopped, and positive for stopping rotation against 𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 .
In experiments [167], the voltage was also measured at a sharp
acceleration of the spiral. Its extreme value turned out to be close by
magnitude to the extremum of the voltage during deceleration, but
opposite in sign.
Let us take the following model as an approximation of the ether
velocity distribution in the spiral at the time of reaching the maximum
emf |ℰ| at instant acceleration. For the right spiral rotating along 𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 :
the impulse 𝜌𝜌Cu 𝑣𝑣0,𝑁𝑁𝑤𝑤 , created on the outer ring, reaches the inner end,
but the outer end of the helix continues to be fed by the ether, which
is in the state before acceleration. For the same spiral rotating against
𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 : the impulse 𝜌𝜌Cu 𝑣𝑣0,𝑁𝑁𝑤𝑤 has already been created at the outer end of
the spiral, and at the inner end the ether has not yet acquired the speed
caused by spiral rotation.
For the left spiral, the consideration is similar, but the state of the
impulses at the ends of the spiral changes places during the rotation
along and against 𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 .
In such a model of the ether acceleration by the spiral, the formu-
las for extreme emf differ from (318), (319) only by sings
450
where the upper sign corresponds to the rotation of the spiral in the
direction of 𝐢𝐢𝜑𝜑 , and the lower one – against it.
Let us analyze the variant of the experiment [167], in which the
spiral twist and the direction of its rotation corresponded to the emf
451
A more accurate measurement of the angular speed 𝜔𝜔 will allow
obtaining a more accurate estimate of the ether density in the conduc-
tor 𝜌𝜌Cu .

boundaries (TB). In other words, the rotation of the superconductor
excites the vortex flow of the ether in its surface layer in the direction
of rotation, that is, an electric current (133) is generated in the surface
layer, flowing in the direction of rotation.
In experiments [178–180], a magnetic field was measured on the
axis of rotation of a superconducting cylindrical shell. It is stated [78,
p. 190, left column at the bottom], that using the cylinder of sufficient
height allows to avoid edge effects. This means that in the model of
this experiment it is important to consider the ring current flowing
through a certain area (belt) of the surface layer, see the shaded area
in fig. 14, and not in some thin ring on it.
An additional argument in favor of considering the current
throughout the whole belt is the joint participation of closely located
TBs in the creation of the ether vortical flow (electric current), as well
as the directional action of each TB due to its pit-like shape.
Besides, there is an accurate alignment of the magnetic field of a
rotating SC along the axis of rotation. This effect was used in the space
project "Gravity Probe B" [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_Probe_B] to
measure with high accuracy the magnetic fields of four superconducting
gyros. Exact alignment of the magnetic field is naturally expected from
the current on the surface of the belt, and not from the current in the set
of thin rings on it.
Thus, the more adequate is a model of creating the magnetic field
by the ring current in the surface layer of the SC, rather than a model
of a solenoid with "independent" currents in its turns.
In sec. 19.1 the Bio-Savard law, derived from the ether equations
(see sec. 7), allowed to obtain formula (212), which relates the mag-
netic field, created near the center of the ring current, and the angular
speed of the electric current motion:
2𝜋𝜋𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0
𝐁𝐁 = 𝜔𝜔𝑆𝑆𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 .
𝑐𝑐
454
The area 𝑆𝑆 of the current in the near-surface layer of the SC (from
the inside) consists of a set of sites of size 𝑙𝑙𝐵𝐵 𝑙𝑙TB , see fig. 14, where 𝑙𝑙𝐵𝐵
is the depth of the magnetic field penetration in the SC, 𝑙𝑙TB is the
length of the twin boundary.
By analogy with the number of propeller blades or turbine blades
in the problem of creating a gas-hydrodynamic flow, it is natural to
assume that the increase in the number of sites 𝑙𝑙𝐵𝐵 𝑙𝑙TB above some
∗
number 𝑁𝑁𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 does not lead to a noticeable increase in the current gen-
erated by them or change in the nature of the ether flow.
When evaluating S, it is necessary to take into account the current
only from the closest to the axis of rotation side of the superconduct-
ing cylindrical, since the SC does not have a magnetic field inside and
therefore shields the magnetic field of the current from the shell’s
outer side.
Thus, we have
2𝜋𝜋𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 ∗
𝐁𝐁 = 𝑁𝑁𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 𝑙𝑙𝐵𝐵 𝑙𝑙TB 𝜔𝜔𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 .
𝑐𝑐
The lengths 𝑙𝑙𝐵𝐵 and 𝑙𝑙TB are known from experiments and are prac-
tically universal for typical SCs: 𝑙𝑙𝐵𝐵 ≈ 2.5 − 5 ∙ 10−4 [cm] [179, p.
460, left column; 28, p. 322]; 𝑙𝑙TB ≈ 5 − 7 ∙ 10−8 [cm] [70, 116].
Then for the upper values of 𝑙𝑙𝐵𝐵 and 𝑙𝑙TB we get
∗
𝐁𝐁 ≈ 4.9 ∙ 10−19 𝑁𝑁𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 𝜔𝜔𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 ,
The last two formulas give the value of the third universal con-
stant for the SC

𝑁𝑁𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 ≈ 2.3 ∙ 1011 .

It is seen that the ether rotation on the axis noticeably lags behind the
rotation of the SC body.
456
It is possible to achieve a larger magnetic field by rotating the
ether with smaller structures than the twin boundaries. The ether has
an extremely low viscosity (see sec. 21.7), and newtonians have a
very small size (234), therefore such structures will create a vortical
flow more effectively.
From the etheric point of view, the ether twist also lies in the basis
of the Barnett effect, which consists in enhancing of the magnetic
field of a ferromagnet rotating along the symmetry axis [28, p. 310;
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnett_effect; 180, p. 222]. In this case, the
increment of the field is also proportional to the rotation angular ve-
locity, at that, with a proportionality coefficient close to (320).
In the etheric interpretation, the field gain of a ferromagnet is de-
termined by the same mechanism as in the SC: the twist of the ether
by the twin boundaries of the ferromagnet crystals. This explains the
close traction coefficient of this material with the ether.
At temperatures below the Curie point, the ferromagnet is spon-
taneously magnetized; see, for example: [28, p. 312]. Therefore, when
it rotates, the emf occurs, as well as in the unipolar generator (sec.
18.11).
The quantitative analysis of the field created by a rotating solid
ferromagnet is more difficult, since it requires an analysis of the ether
flow in the entire volume of the ferromagnet, and not only in the near-
surface layer, as in SC.
The rotation of a solid ferromagnet or other object twists the ether
flow in the entire volume.
The magnetic field (20) characterizes the vorticity of the ether
flow density at a given point of the volume:
If the ether density in the vortex at this point changes slightly 𝛁𝛁𝜌𝜌 ≈
0, then the magnetic field is expressed through the angular velocity of
the vortex rotation 𝛚𝛚𝑢𝑢 :
457
𝐁𝐁 ≈ 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝛁𝛁 × 𝐮𝐮 = 2𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝛚𝛚𝑢𝑢 .
Thus, the average increment of the magnetic field 𝐁𝐁 � inside and near
a rotating solid object is defined by the average density of the ether 𝜌𝜌̅
and the angular velocity of rotation 𝛚𝛚𝑢𝑢 in the vortices created in its vol-
ume, which arise due to motion of elementary structures such as TBs:
� ≈ 2𝑐𝑐𝜌𝜌̅ 𝛚𝛚𝑢𝑢 .
𝐁𝐁
458
The formula (320) is derived theoretically by F. London [177, p.
82] based on the consideration of the motion of superconducting elec-
trons (super-electrons).
However, the interpretation of the current created by the rotating
superconductor as a result of the electrons motion leads to a contra-
diction with the direction of the magnetic field in the experiment, see
fig. 14. If it were the electrons moving in the direction of rotation that
carried the current, then, according to the definition of the current di-
rection as the direction of positive charges motion (see, for example:
[28, p. 173]), the current of electrons would have to flow against the
direction of rotation. Then the direction of the magnetic field, in ac-
cordance with the Ampere equation (29), (33) or the Bio-Savart law
(sec. 7), should be opposite to that observed in experiment (320).
Perhaps the reason for the coincidence of the magnetic field in the
theory of London with experiment is consideration in it the equation for
the generalized momentum of super-electrons as the starting point [177,
p. 64, 70, 79]. This equation includes the sum of the super-electron im-
pulse and the vector potential: 𝑝𝑝𝑠𝑠 = 𝑚𝑚𝑣𝑣𝑠𝑠 + 𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒/𝑐𝑐. The vector potential
characterizes the ether energy density flow 𝐀𝐀 = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝐮𝐮 (see sec. 2.3);
therefore, the London theory initially takes into account the motion of
the electron in the ether flow. Besides, the theory of London uses the
equation of motion of the electron liquid [177, p. 53–57], mathematical
form of which is a special case of the ether equation of motion (5).
In 2006, experiments were conducted that showed the emergence
of attraction during the rotation of a superconductor with an increase
in the angular velocity of rotation [www.membrana.ru/particle/9819;
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconductivity; ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Све
рхпроводимость#Гравитомагнитный_момент_Лондона]. The ob-
served effect is called the "Gravitomagnetic London moment".
From the point of view of the ether theory, this result is quite
expected, and not only for superconductors, since, according to the
equation of the ether motion (5), the acceleration of the ether flow
density in the left part of the equation in the absence of external forces
459
should lead to the appearance of the ether pressure gradient in the
right part that can cause the attraction of objects. However, the attrac-
tion of objects can be caused not only by gravity, but also, for exam-
ple, by electrostatic induction, see sec. 18.13. Therefore, the gravito-
magnetic London moment, as stated by the authors of the experiment,
requires further study.
460
However, it is possible to detect the ether motion created by a
rotating magnet without a multidigit magnetometer. The correspond-
ing experiment was proposed by F.S. Zaitsev and conducted jointly
with V.A. Chizhov. The same unipolar generator was used as in sec.
23.3, but the circuit between the axis of rotation and the external mag-
net circumference remained open in order to highlight the rotation ef-
fect in its pure form.
The magnet was rotated at ~3000 [rpm] for ~10 [min]. The
longer the time interval, the deeper rotation of the ether should be ex-
pected. Instead of using a high-precision magnetometer, the entire
stand with the rotating magnet was quickly removed to a distance of
more than 2 [m], from which the magnet could not affect the meas-
urements. In place of the rotating magnet at a distance of 0.63 of its
radius, where the linear rotational speed is already high, but the edge
effects are not so noticeable, a three-dimensional Hall sensor was im-
mediately installed. The sensor built-in Sony Xperia LT26i mobile
phone was used with the Physics Toolbox Magnetometer v. 1.4.3 in-
terface of Vieyra Software Company. The sensor of this phone
measures relatively small magnetic fields: from 10−8 to 3 ∙ 10−3 [T].
The Earth's magnetic field at the described above point before
placing a stand with a magnet in it was ≈ 50 [μT]. For different di-
rections of rotation and the positions of the rotation axis the magnetic
field at the same point immediately after removing the stand turned
out to be ~10 − 20 % smaller. The recovery of the magnetic field to
≈ 50 [μT] did not occur immediately, but within 3 − 6 [min].
When removing the stand with the non-rotating magnet and
quickly installing the sensor, the Earth's magnetic field at the consid-
ered point was practically the same as 50 [μT]. This shows the essen-
tiality of the magnet rotation.
The observed change in the Earth’s magnetic field is not ex-
plained by the formation of charged particles flow in the air by the
rotating magnet, since the concentrations of positive and negative ions
in air are very small and almost equal, the concentration of electrons
461
is generally speaking negligible, see appendix 6, and non-background
sources of ionization were absent. Nevertheless, it would be advisable
to double check this experiment in a vacuum.
In the etheric interpretation, the rotating magnet creates the ether
flow, which partially destroys the ether vortex flow of the Earth’s
magnetic field. After the magnet is removed, the flow of a fairly com-
plex geometry remains, since it is determined by the structure of the
magnet material, its inhomogeneities and chips, the heterogeneity of
the magnet field that occurs during its manufacture. Besides, there is
a change in the direction of the magnet’s magnetic field to the oppo-
site when it passes through the edge of the disk. All these effects, as
well as methods of removing the stand and introducing the sensor, can
affect the remaining ether flow to some extent.
The most fundamental in this experiment is the relatively long
preservation of the ether flow in place where the magnet was rotating.
This flow is manifested in the partial destruction of the Earth’s mag-
netic field. In other words, the formation in the ether of a long-living
phantom – a non-uniform ether flow is observed. The slow disappear-
ance of the phantom is explained by low viscosity and self-diffusion
of the ether, see sec. 21.7, 21.8, due to which there is no rapid erosion
of the flow created in the ether.
Comparison of the theoretical concept of the ether and experi-
mental data allows one to conclude that they are in good agreement
with each other.
In the next variant of the experiment, the role of the inhomoge-
neity of the rotating magnetic field in the creation of a phantom was
clarified. Two additional magnets, each ≈ 0.3 [T] and a diameter of
17 [mm], were placed on the opposite planes of the disk near edge to
perturb disk’s magnetic field. The magnets were located diagonally
to avoid the emergence of beats during rotation. After removing the
stand, the magnetic field turned out to be ~3 % smaller than in the
case of rotation of the magnetic disk without additional magnets. The
462
recovery time of the Earth’s magnetic field has increased more no-
ticeably, by ~20 %. Thus, in this experiment, the inhomogeneity of
the rotating magnetic field affects the ether behavior after removing
the stand, but still the material that the magnetic disk is made of has a
greater influence.
The experiments described directly confirm the existence of the
ether, and also indicate the direction of the development of technical
devices for closer interaction with it.
463
It is necessary to make a thin-walled disk of the non-magnetic
metal with a container that can be filled with various substances, see
fig. 15. Metal passes well the ether through itself, and thin walls fa-
cilitate this process. It is necessary to ensure the possibility of the long
rotation of the disk (tens of minutes and hours) with the greatest pos-
sible angular speed, since, due to the extremely small size of the new-
tonians, it is difficult to bring them into motion by the substance.
464
To make sure that the creation of ∆𝐁𝐁 ≠ 0 is not related to the
charge mosion with the disk, one can by the short-term grounding or
conducting an experiment in the vacuum.
It is important to exclude the influence of external magnetic fields
on the rotating disk.
The electric motor must be away from the disk.
Earth's magnetic field can be zeroed by a system of magnets lo-
cated at some distance from the disk. It is also possible to eliminate
Earth's influence by orienting the plane of the disk parallel to the mag-
netic field of the Earth. Then the generalized Zhukovsky force will
not have components in the azimuthal direction (in the cylindrical co-
ordinate system with the axis along the axis of rotation) and the elec-
tric current in this direction will not appear. This force may have com-
ponents along the axis of rotation and in the radial direction, but in
these directions the circuit is not closed, so the electric current does
not flow and does not cause the appearance of the magnetic field. The
pressure gradient created by the Zhukovsky force in these directions
leads to the emergence of the potential electric field (72), but, accord-
ing to (26), it does not generate a magnetic field (in the absence of
external non-potential forces).
The weak dependence of ∆𝐁𝐁 from the distance to the axis of ro-
tation of the disk will confirm the absence of free electrons in the disk.
Otherwise, free electrons would have to be displaced by inertia to the
disk edge. In this case, a positive charge would appear near the axis
of rotation, and a negative – at the periphery. As a result of the rotation
of these charges together with the disk, the electric current near the
axis and on the periphery would flow in different directions and the
magnetic field ∆𝐁𝐁 created by it would have a minimum along the ra-
dius. Besides, the electric field presence at a particular point on the
disk can be checked by hanging a straw on a thread or web.
It is interesting to measure the magnitude and direction of ∆𝐁𝐁 for
different materials, to determine the time required for the maximum
465
spinning of the ether, the time of natural stopping of its motion and
stopping by rotating of the material in the opposite direction.
In the etheric interpretation, the occurrence of ∆𝐁𝐁 is explained by
the creation of the ether flow density 𝜌𝜌𝐕𝐕 with a non-zero rotor ∆𝐁𝐁 ≡
𝐁𝐁𝐕𝐕 = 𝑐𝑐𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝐕𝐕), see the formula (20) by structural elements of a ro-
tating non-magnetic substance. This effect is similar to the occurrence
of the ether vortex flow in the unipolar generator, see sec. 23.3. The
differences are in considering here the non-magnetic material and the
absence of the closed contour connecting the axis of the rotation with
the periphery of the disk.
Let us estimate the magnetic field 𝐁𝐁𝐕𝐕 , created by the rotation of
the nonmagnetic material. Consdier the linear speed of the ether rota-
tion 𝐕𝐕 in the form (207)

the latter case, one can expect the enhancement of |𝐁𝐁𝐕𝐕 |, since the twin
boundaries have their own structure, different from the basic structure
of the material, and should enhance the ether vorticity.
The proposed experiments can provide additional confirmation
of the existence of the ether.
468
tation was no longer observed. This circumstance, as well as individ-
ual staged (trial) experiments with the rotation of the magnet near
vanes of various designs, done by F.S. Zaitsev, led to the conclusion
that either in experiment [182] the effect of electromagnetic induction
was observed from the originally used motor with a magnetic cou-
pling, or the ether was rotated mainly by the magnetic clutch, and not
by the disk.
In any case, the idea of demonstrating mechanical motion under
the ether action deserves special attention. The main problem of set-
ting the vane in motion by the ether flow created by the disk is the
selection of a material for the disk that would well rotate the ether,
creating the ether current not only inside but also outside the disk,
and a material for the vane and damper that would well detained the
ether. At the same time, the vane should be light enough to provide
sensitivity. Long-lasting rotation of the disk is necessary because of
poor mechanical traction of the ether with ordinary substances (due
to the small size and viscosity of the newtonians).
It is interesting to note that the Baranov – Zatelepin experiment
and the modification proposed below do not require special equip-
ment. Therefore, such experiments could be performed hundreds of
years ago. However, information about conducting similar experi-
ments in the past has not been found.
Top view of the scheme of the proposed experiment is shown in
fig. 16.
The origin of the coordinate system is located in the center of the
rotating disk 𝑂𝑂1. The disk is surrounded by a thin cylinder, which iso-
lates air motion, but lets the ether flow through it. Such a cylinder is
not required if the experiment is carried out in the vacuum.
The vane is a rectangular plate with a length of 𝑙𝑙0 and a height of
ℎ0 , suspended on a thin thread. The axis of the vane rotation passes
through the 𝑂𝑂2 point and divides it into two identical rectangular vanes.
A wide cylindrical ring with a slit (flap) prevents the ether flow
generated by the rotation of the disk. As a result, this flow affects
469
mainly the vane, which is outside the cut (outside the shadow). If the
ether flow is decelerated on the vane, then the transmitted impulse
leads to rotation of the vane with an angular speed 𝜔𝜔2 .
470
Analysis of experiments with the unipolar generator showed that
the rotation of the conducting disk causes the rotation of the ether. At
that, the ether moves practically together with the disk, see p. 408.
It is known that the rotation of a cylinder of a weakly compress-
ible medium as a solid is a circular cylindrical vortex of constant vor-
ticity Γ [15, p. 297]. The continuous velocity field inside and outside
of such a vortex is calculated analytically, for example, in [15, p. 297,
298]. Outside the vortex, the velocity vector of the medium 𝐮𝐮 is al-
ways directed perpendicular to the radius vector 𝐫𝐫:
Γ Γ
𝑢𝑢𝑥𝑥 = sin 𝜑𝜑 , 𝑢𝑢𝑦𝑦 = cos 𝜑𝜑 , Γ = 2𝜋𝜋𝜔𝜔1 𝑟𝑟12 ,
2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋 2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋
where 𝑟𝑟1 is the radius of the vortex, 𝜔𝜔1 is its angular speed, (𝑟𝑟, 𝜑𝜑) are
the cylindrical coordinates of the point outside the circle of radius 𝑟𝑟1.
We estimate the angular speed 𝜔𝜔2 of the vane rotation in such a
flow of the ether.
It should be noted that under real conditions, due to irregularities
and defects in the crystal lattice of the disk, roughness of its surface
and rotation in air, and not in the vacuum, the steady state ether flow
can turn out to be a spiral. Here such a flow is not considered, that is,
the radial velocity component is considered negligible. However, the
following quantitative results can be generalized to the case of a non-
zero radial velocity.
To simplify the calculations, we will assume that the vane is im-
penetrable for a relatively weak ether flow; the ether flow transmits a
momentum to the vane only outside the shadow region 𝛼𝛼 ∈
[−𝜋𝜋/2, 𝜋𝜋/2] (if the paddle length 𝑙𝑙0 /2 is small enough) and rotation of
the vane is caused only by transverse to its plane component of the flow

Besides, we will assume that in the considered region the ether density
varies only slightly 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 ≈ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 .
The density of the kinetic energy transverse to the paddle of the
ether flow at point 𝐴𝐴 is 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 𝑢𝑢⊥2 (12). In the elementary volume

For one complete rotation of the vane, the area of the ether flow
that is not shaded by the partition is passed twice: once with each pad-
dle. Therefore, on one full turn, the ether acts on a vane with the en-
ergy of 2𝐾𝐾⊥ , if the ether flow changes little during this time.
Further, we will consider a half turn of the vane, corresponding
to the passage of the unshaded area by one paddle. On each 𝑗𝑗-th pas-
sage of this region, 𝑗𝑗 = 1, … , 𝑁𝑁, the angular speed of rotation of the
vane gets the increment ∆𝜔𝜔2,𝑗𝑗 , and for 𝑁𝑁 half-turns becomes equal to
𝑁𝑁
473
To estimate 𝜔𝜔2,𝑁𝑁 , we neglect the energy going on the twist of the
thread, and apply a simplified model of the interaction of the ether flow
with the structural elements of the vane material. We assume that at the
𝑗𝑗-th half-turn all the kinetic energy of the ether 𝐾𝐾⊥ in the non shadow
region, swept by one paddle, is expended on incrementing of the vane
kinetic energy of rotation 𝐾𝐾∆𝜔𝜔2,𝑗𝑗 and on overcoming the air resistance
energy 2𝐾𝐾в,𝑗𝑗 , where 𝐾𝐾в,𝑗𝑗 is the air resistance energy of one paddle:

Due to the relativity of motion the problem of finding the force
acting on a moving object in the still medium is equivalent to the
problem of finding the force acting on the still object in the appropri-
ate moving medium [26, p. 520].
For large Reynolds numbers, the derivation of the general for-
mula for the drag force of the impermeable object to the incident flow
is complicated by the fact that the flow structural elements do not
completely lose speed when they meet an object, but flow around the
object [6, p. 239–246]. Therefore, in the Newton's formula for the im-
pulse received by the object, a correction coefficient of resistance 𝑐𝑐𝑅𝑅
is introduced, which characterizes the intensity of the flow decelera-
tion [6, p. 241 the formula (78)] and for the resistance force the fol-
lowing formula is accepted
𝜌𝜌𝑓𝑓 𝑣𝑣 2
𝑅𝑅 = 𝑐𝑐𝑅𝑅 𝑆𝑆,
2
where 𝜌𝜌𝑓𝑓 and 𝑣𝑣 are the density and velocity of the incident flow, 𝑆𝑆 is
the area of the object projection on the plane perpendicular to the flow
direction. The 𝑐𝑐𝑅𝑅 coefficient is usually determined empirically. The
values of 𝑐𝑐𝑅𝑅 for rectangular plates are given, for example, in [6, p. 249].
Rotation of the vane causes air to rotate. As a result, the speed of
air motion relative to the vane decreases as compared with the speed
of the vane motion. This effect will be characterized by the coefficient
𝛾𝛾𝑗𝑗 , that is, we will consider the speed of the incident flow in the form
of 𝛾𝛾𝑗𝑗 𝑣𝑣. For the force of resistance to such a flow we have
2
𝜌𝜌𝑓𝑓 �𝛾𝛾𝑗𝑗 𝑣𝑣� (323)
𝑅𝑅 = 𝑐𝑐𝑅𝑅 𝑆𝑆.
2
So, according to (323), at the 𝑗𝑗-th half turn, when 𝑣𝑣 = 𝜔𝜔2,𝑗𝑗 𝑙𝑙, from
the elementary paddle site 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙ℎ near the point 𝐴𝐴 in the direction trans-
verse to the site, the air is affected by force

Then for the increment of the angular speed ∆𝜔𝜔2,𝑗𝑗 on the 𝑗𝑗-th
half-turn we get a quadratic equation

Acting consistently, we find all the increments of the angular
speed ∆𝜔𝜔2,𝑗𝑗 , 𝑗𝑗 = 1, … , 𝑁𝑁 and determine the angular speed of the vane
𝜔𝜔2,𝑁𝑁 after 𝑁𝑁 half-turns (321).
In the steady state, the angular speed and the air velocity stop
changing 𝜔𝜔2,𝑗𝑗 ≡ 𝜔𝜔2,∞ , ∆𝜔𝜔2,𝑗𝑗 = 0, 𝛾𝛾𝑗𝑗 = 𝛾𝛾, and the energy balance
equation (324) is simplified
2
𝑏𝑏1 𝜔𝜔2,∞ − 𝑐𝑐1 = 0.
From here
478
until the vane suspension begins to resist. For example, for the param-
eters 𝑟𝑟1 = 5, 𝑙𝑙0 = 6, 𝑎𝑎 = 12, ℎ0 = 3 [cm], 𝜔𝜔1 = 524 [rad/s] ≈
5000 [rpm], 𝑚𝑚 = 10 [g], 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 ≈ 2 ∙ 10−9 [g/cm3 ] (228) the incre-
ment will be ∆𝜔𝜔2,𝑗𝑗 ~ 0.058 [rad/s] ≈ 0.55 [rpm].
The rotation of the vane in the vacuum and consistency of the
theoretical and experimental increments of its angular velocities will
be an additional fact confirming the adequacy of the natural phenom-
ena description with the ether model considered in the book.
Besides, measuring in the vacuum the vane angular speed incre-
ment ∆𝜔𝜔2 over a half-turn will allow to obtain experimentally an es-
timate of the ether density 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0, since for 𝑏𝑏1 = 0 from the equation
(324) one has
479
very low viscosity of the ether. As a result, newtonians have the abil-
ity to flow more or less freely through populations of atoms.
In many cases, the rotation of an object is caused by the induction
in it of vortex currents (Foucault currents) when the flow of the mag-
netic field, acting on the object, changes in time. For example, this
effect explains the rotation of the metal propeller or the frame in the
field of the rotating weakly inhomogeneous magnet, as well as the
rotation of a thin conducting disk in electromagnetic noise. The oc-
currence of Foucault currents can be verified by well-known methods
– with making slits on an object or by replacing its material with a
non-conductive one [28, sec. 65].
The rotation of a straw suspended on a thin thread can be first of
all explained by the effect of electrostatic induction (sec. 18.13). Such
an explanation can be verified by placing of the straw into the Faraday
cage (sec. 18.13, 18.14).
It is important to carefully examine the possibility of the electro-
magnetic and electrostatic induction effects, before claiming the obser-
vation of the mechanical interaction of an object with the ether. Other-
wise, as the practice shows, one can waste a lot of time and efforts.

The value of 𝑑𝑑𝑝𝑝𝐕𝐕 for normal rates is small compared to the sub-
limation pressure 𝑝𝑝s . For example, in the experiments from sec. 23.3,
the difference in the ether pressure on the outer and inner radii of the
disk due to the ether rotation with speed 𝐕𝐕 at the frequency 𝑛𝑛 = 2500
[rpm] is approximately ∆𝑝𝑝𝐕𝐕 ~ (𝑅𝑅 − 𝑟𝑟0 )𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝐕𝐕 × 𝐁𝐁𝐕𝐕 /𝑐𝑐 ~ 10−4 [Pa].
482
Since ∆𝑝𝑝𝐕𝐕 ~ 𝑛𝑛2 , it is not realistic to reach by increasing 𝑛𝑛 the
sublimation pressure ∆𝑝𝑝 ~ 𝑝𝑝s , at which the material is destructed.
Therefore, the pressure of the generalized Zhukovsky force is also not
the cause of the material destruction by rotation.
From the estimates made, we conclude that under normal condi-
tions the rotation of the disk with typical speeds cannot lead to its
destruction due to the achievement in the space between atoms by the
ether rotation pressure of the sublimation pressure value.
However, real materials always have defects of different spatial
scales. Atomic and cluster structures in defects less prevent the equal-
ization of the internal ether pressure with the external one because of
the large characteristic distances in the defects. Therefore, the ether
pressure in the defects is much closer to the pressure of the unper-
turbed ether, and it is necessary to create smaller additional pressure
to destroy the material along the defects. Within the framework of
such an interpretation, the ether pressure in the defects can be esti-
mated from the known angular frequency of material destruction as
the difference of the unperturbed ether pressure and the pressure cre-
ated by the rotation.
Higher ether pressure in the defects gives a simple explanation of
the known phenomenon mechanism: the more defects in the sub-
stance, the easier it is usually to destruct it by stretching.

energy of the lattice surface by the laser. However, such an explana-
tion is hardly consistent, since during the time of destruction the sur-
face of the lattice also does not have time to get a noticeable impulse
from the wave of laser radiation.
We give the ether interpretation of this experiment. Let us esti-
mate the pressure (energy density) created by the laser wave inside
bismuth. Dividing the energy ℎ𝜈𝜈 of the laser photon, at which the de-
struction of the crystal occurs, by the volume of the interatomic space,
we get the ether pressure at which the destruction occurs:
ℎ𝜈𝜈
𝑝𝑝s ~ ,
(𝑟𝑟м − 𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑖 )3
where 𝑟𝑟м is the interatomic distance, 𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑖 is the radius of the ion of the
lattice atom. For ℎ = 6.6261 ∙ 10−34 [J ∙ s], the laser emission fre-
quency 𝜈𝜈 = 𝑐𝑐/𝜆𝜆 = 3.87 ∙ 1014 [1/ s] and bismuth parameters
𝑟𝑟м,Bi ~ 4.746 ∙ 10−10 [m], 𝑟𝑟Bi ≈ 0.74 ∙ 10−10 [m] (see, for example:
[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismuth]) we get 𝑝𝑝s,Bi ~ 0.0736 ∙ 1011 [Pa].
According to the method of sec. 21.12, we find the internal ether
pressure in bismuth 𝑝𝑝int,Bi = 𝑝𝑝0 − 𝑝𝑝s,Bi ~ 1.026 ∙ 1011 [Pa]. Com-
parison with the ether pressure in bismuth and in other substances
from the table in sec. 21.12, p. 362, shows the adequacy of the esti-
mate 𝑝𝑝int,Bi , obtained using the laser energy density, at which the bis-
muth is rapidly destructed.
Thus, as in the experiments analyzed in sec. 18.10, 21.12, bis-
muth is destructed when a laser inside bismuth creates a pressure close
to the unperturbed ether pressure 𝑝𝑝0 (230).
The considered experiment with the laser provides another way
of determining the ether pressure in substances, in addition to the ex-
plosion of wires (sec. 18.10) and the measurement of the sublimation
energy (sec. 21.12).

The ethereal understanding of the cause of target destruction in-
stead of compression, when exposed to a laser, shows the extreme
complexity of implementing inertial controlled thermonuclear fusion.

as well as references at the end of sec. 25.1 of the reference book
[121].
Initiation at 𝐸𝐸 > 107 [V/cm] of the breakdown electric current
in the vacuum [185, p. 197; 186, p. 27] is convincingly explained in
classical physics by the emission from the cathode of electrons, whose
energy has increased under the influence of 𝐸𝐸 to the value of the work
function, which makes it possible to overcome the coupling forces
with the body [121, ch. 25; 185, sec. 11.2.6; 187, ch. XVII]. For ex-
ample, the current at thermoelectronic emission in a wide range of
temperatures is well described by the Richardson – Dashman formula
with the Schottky correction taking into account the external electric
field [188, ch. 3, sec. 7; 36, p. 423].
The cathode breakdown initiation mechanism is considered to be
the main one [186, p. 26].
For large electric fields 𝐸𝐸 > 107 [V/cm], the current in the vac-
uum can be caused by a number of effects: the motion of electrons
pulled by the field from the surface of the cathode under the action of
an electric field; secondary emission arising due to the bombardment
of the corresponding electrodes by electrons and ions accelerated in
𝐸𝐸 [185, p. 197]; pulling out of electrons under the action of light, etc.
For the theory of the ether, the consideration of dark (pre-break-
down) currents in the vacuum, which arise at 𝐸𝐸 < 107 [V/cm], , is of
the greatest interest, since their nature is not fully understood [184, p.
72]. The related discharges can be attributed to the dark Townsend
discharge [185, ch. 12.2.2], but in the vacuum.
For example, let us analyze the experimental data on the initiation
of a discharge in the high vacuum from the monograph [189]. Fig. 3.4
in it shows the graph of the current and photos of the glow. Over the
time interval 0 − 10 [ns] at 𝐸𝐸 = 20 ∙ 103 / (0.35 ∙ 10−1 ) ≈ 6 ∙
105 ≪ 107 [V/cm ] the current is already being detected, there is
even a noticeable surge in it at the time of 0.5 [ns], despite the fact
that such 𝐸𝐸 should not yet lead to the emission of electrons (see sub-
section 4 below). Besides, the glow at the cathode begins at the 4-th
486
nanosecond. If the cathode luminescence is caused by electron emis-
sion, they are accelerated in the 𝐸𝐸, field, for example, up to a speed of
0.1𝑐𝑐 for ~2 ∙ 10−3 [ns] at a distance of ~0.05 [mm]. But at the speed
of 0.1𝑐𝑐, electrons should appear at the anode, the distance to which is
0.35 [mm], after ~10−2 [ns] and cause its luminescence, and it is ob-
served only after 10 [ns].
Another example is the problem of interpreting the breakdown
lag when creating a potential difference [186, p. 27; 189, p. 54]. The
delay is usually explained by the inertia of the Joule heating of the
cathode and the beginning of the emission of electrons from its mi-
croprotrusions [190, p. 266]. At that, the heating mechanism is not
explained, when the 𝐸𝐸 field is still insufficient to eject electrons from
the microprotrusions, and the current is already observed.
There is also no explanation for the growth of the maximum pos-
sible dark current strength with the improvement of the high vacuum
[184, p. 71].
Extensive explorations are devoted to the experimental study of
dark currents, see, for example: [184, ch. 3]. The main problem of
their theoretical explanation is that dark currents are observed when
the electric field is 100 − 1000 times smaller than it follows from the
Schottky formula [188, p. 103; 185, p. 197, 208; 190, p. 266], which
takes into account the external electric field. Moreover, they can have
a kinetic (mechanical) effect [191, p. 756]. Thus, there is a contradic-
tion in the electron-ion theory of a vacuum conductivity: electrons at
fields 𝐸𝐸 < 107 [V/cm] cannot escape in a large amount from the elec-
trode and there should not be a noticeable electric current, but it is
observed.
To resolve this contradiction, modern physics, which has aban-
doned the concept of the ether and does not bind electric current with
the ether flow, is forced to go beyond the limits of classical physics
and impart to electrons in a conductor the tunneling property, which
would allow them to leave the electrode in large amounts. Physics ex-
plains the dark currents by exclusively tunneling (autoelectronic, field
487
or cold) emission of electrons from the cathode as passage of electrons
of any velocity beyond its boundary in the form of a wave [36, p. 423;
188, ch. 3, sec. 4, 8; 185, sec. 6.5.1; 193, p. 204–206]. It is claimed
that understanding the mechanism of dark currents is possible only on
the basis of wave (quantum) mechanics [28, p. 449; 194, p. 154].
However, it is important to emphasize that for a reasonable inter-
pretation of phenomena, such as breakdown in the deep vacuum,
modern physics still has to introduce the concept of a certain medium
in which processes take place. For example, quantum mechanics en-
dows a vacuum with energetic properties, see, for example, a review
in [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum]. According to the quantum me-
chanics, breakdown in the high vacuum is explained by the spontane-
ous production of virtual electron-positron pairs and their rupture by
the electric field [28, p. 390; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_polari-
zation]. Virtual particles in the quantum field theory actually play the
role of a certain media, providing different interactions of real parti-
cles, while the exact mechanism of interactions is still considered not
established [36, p. 882].
Dark currents have been studied in many hundreds of experi-
ments, see references in [184, ch. 3; 191, ch. 12; 185, p. 388]. How-
ever, descriptions of some of the details required for adequate inter-
pretation could not be found. Therefore, the authors together with
V.A. Chizhov, I.N. Stepanov and S.M. Godin conducted additional
experiments in which the current-voltage characteristic was studied,
specificity of electrodes glowing, the mechanical action of the cath-
ode-anode rays and the influence of the external magnetic field on
them. Quantitative estimates of the parameters of the ether flow in
these experiments are presented in sec. 23.9.2–23.9.4.
We emphasize that the analysis of luminous phenomena near the
electrodes and in the vacuum gap in combination with the current-
voltage characteristic is the standard technique for studying of elec-
trical discharges in the vacuum, giving the most valuable information,
see, for example: [189, sec. 3.2].
488
By definition, the low vacuum begins with a decrease in atmos-
pheric pressure to 1 [mm Hg] (see [36, p. 215]), that is, by 760 times.
In our experiments, we used the oil pump V-i220SV with a filter on
the pipe going to the vacuum chamber, which minimizes the ingress
of oil into it. This pump gives the residual pressure by 𝑁𝑁𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣 = 5 ∙ 104
times smaller than the atmospheric: 2 [Pa] = 2 ∙ 10−5 [bar] ≈
1.5 ∙ 10−2 [Torr].
Below, in subsection 2, it will be shown that in our experiments
the average mean free path of electrons, accelerated by the electric
field, in the effect of molecules ionization is larger than the size of the
vessel. Therefore, from the viewpoint of processes of neutrals ioniza-
tion by electrons, the vacuum used with a residual pressure of 2 [Pa]
can be classified as rather high [36, p. 215]. The large ionization path
of electrons, compared with the size of the chamber, leads to the ab-
sence of an avalanche-like mechanism of their multiplication [185, p.
339]. This is one of the main differences between our experiments and
typical vacuum discharges in long tubes and discharges at the atmos-
pheric pressure.
The results obtained here can be confirmed by experiments in the
deeper vacuum; however, this will require special equipment for air
pumping and a higher voltage to create the dark current, as well as
protection from possible X-rays.
The vacuum chamber was a cylindrical glass hubcap with a vol-
ume of ~7 liters (base radius ≈ 10 [cm], height ≈ 22 [cm]) closed
with the steel disk underneath. A vacuum rubber gasket was placed in
the annular groove of the disk and coated with a vacuum grease to
ensure reliable sealing. After pumping out the air and turning off the
pump, the pressure of 2 [Pa] in the chamber was kept for more than
12 hours, which indicates a good isolation of the chamber from the
external pressure.
A thin net of the galvanized steel (Faraday cage) was located on
the periphery inside the vacuum chamber. The net shields the effects
489
of external charges, for example, induced on glass, and makes it pos-
sible to study the shape and brightness of the luminescence appearing
on it. One of the electrodes was mounted in the net and had conductive
contact with it, its tip protruded from the net by ~1 [cm]. The other
electrode was located inside the chamber. Each electrode was a cop-
per wire with a cross section of 2.5 [mm2 ] with a sharpened end. The
distance between the tips was about 4 [cm].
The scheme of the experiment is shown in fig. 17
490
In the steady state between the electrodes, a potential difference
of ~500 − 103 [V] was recorded at a current of ~1 − 10 [mA]. The
initialization of the current did not require a significant excess of this
potential difference. The electric field was 𝐸𝐸 ~ 103 [V] / 4 [cm] =
250 [V/cm]. Signs of the dark current [184, p. 71] were observed:
bluish-violet glow of the electrodes, the absence of the electrodes
heating and a noticeable change of their surface. The glow between
the electrodes was dimmer than on them. Such a discharge can be at-
tributed to one of the modes of a glow discharge in the vacuum [185,
ch. 12].
Let us analyze all the main effects known for discharges, and
show that the observation data cannot be explained by the motion of
charged particles. We carry out the reasoning on the basis of the con-
cepts of the mean free path and the effective cross section. This tech-
nique gives approximate estimates, see, for example: [27, p. 324].
However, a more detailed study of the processes in the residual air is
too complicated, since in the general case it requires a numerical so-
lution of the system of kinetic equations for all particles in the air.
1. Consider the contribution to the current of free electrons and
ions present in the residual air.
The presence of electrons and ions in the air is due to the
processes associated with the effects of fast particles coming
from space and earth, as well as natural radioactivity.
In appendix 6 on p. 604 is shown that with a reduced pres-
sure by 𝑁𝑁𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣 = 5 ∙ 104 times the concentration of electrons is
𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 ~ 16.3 [1/cm3 ], and the density of positive and negative
ions is 𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑖 ~ 23.7 [1/cm3 ]. This background density of
charged particles in the residual gas is constantly maintained
by the external sources.
Let us estimate the speed acquired by electrons in the
electric field and the current corresponding to it.
The mean free path of electrons in elastic collisions in a
gas is 𝜆𝜆𝑒𝑒,𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 = 1/(𝑛𝑛0 𝜎𝜎) [36, p. 209; 185, p. 40, formulas
491
(2.3), (2.6), (2.8), (2.9)], where 𝑛𝑛0 is the density of gas mole-
cules, 𝜎𝜎 is the effective cross section for elastic collisions. We
extrapolate the cross section 𝜎𝜎 of elastic scattering of electrons
by the 𝑁𝑁2 and 𝑂𝑂2 molecules (the main components of air) ac-
cording to data from [121, p. 393; 175, p. 151, 152] in the en-
ergy range ~102 − 103 [eV] by the value 𝜎𝜎 ~ 3 ∙ 10−15
[1/cm2 ]. We estimate the molecular density in the residual air
using the Loshmidt number 2.687 ∙ 1019 : 𝑛𝑛0 ~ 2.687 ∙
1019 /𝑁𝑁𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣 ~ 5 ∙ 1014 [1/cm3 ]. Then 𝜆𝜆𝑒𝑒,𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 ~ 0.6 [cm].
In this case, the electron undergoes ~5 [cm]/𝜆𝜆𝑒𝑒,𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 ~ 8
elastic collisions with the residual gas during the passage of
the distance between the central electrode and the net. The loss
of electron energy in one elastic collision with an atom is usu-
ally small [185, sec. 2.3.2, 2.3.3]. Therefore, here the change
in the electron energy due to this process can be neglected.
The field 𝐸𝐸 ~ 250 [V/cm] at the mean free path 𝜆𝜆𝑒𝑒,𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒
delivers to electron the energy |𝑒𝑒|𝐸𝐸𝜆𝜆𝑒𝑒,𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 ~ 150 [eV], at the
distance between the electrodes 4 [cm] – energy ~103 [eV] or
speed 𝑣𝑣𝑒𝑒 ~ 1.9 ∙ 109 [cm/s].
Thus, free electrons in the residual air at 𝑣𝑣𝑒𝑒,𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 ~ 𝑣𝑣𝑒𝑒 /2 can
provide only a very small current density 𝑗𝑗𝑒𝑒 = 𝑒𝑒𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑒 𝑣𝑣𝑒𝑒,𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 ~ 2.5 ∙
10−9 [A/cm2 ] and the total current 𝐼𝐼𝑒𝑒 = 𝑗𝑗𝑒𝑒 𝑆𝑆 ≈ 5.6 ∙ 10−11 [A]
at 𝑆𝑆 ≈ 0.023 [cm2 ].
Due to the quasi-neutrality of air, the density of positively
charged particles is approximately the same as electrons and
negatively charged ions, but the ion mass is 3–4 orders of
magnitude higher than the electron mass, therefore the 𝐸𝐸 field
delivers to the ions the lower speed and they give even smaller
contribution to the current.
2. Let us analyze the effect of neutral particles ionization by ac-
celerated electrons.
492
The mean free path of electrons in the process of ioniza-
tion of gas molecules by them is 𝜆𝜆𝑒𝑒 = 1/(𝑛𝑛0 𝜎𝜎𝑖𝑖 ) [36, p. 209;
185, p. 40, formulas (2.3), (2.6), (2.8), (2.9)], where 𝑛𝑛0 is the
density of molecules, 𝜎𝜎𝑖𝑖 is the effective ionization cross sec-
tion. The ionization cross section of the main air components
𝑁𝑁2 and 𝑂𝑂2 by electrons with energies from 0.3 to 1 [keV], ac-
counting for the proportions of concentrations 𝑁𝑁2 (78 %) and
𝑂𝑂2 (21 %), grows very rapidly from zero 𝜎𝜎𝑖𝑖 = 0 at 10 [eV] to
𝜎𝜎𝑖𝑖 ~ 3 ∙ 10−16 at ~102 [eV] and then decreases very quickly,
having 𝜎𝜎𝑖𝑖 ~ 1.2 ∙ 10−16 [1/cm2 ] at energy ~1 [keV], see
[121, p. 427], as well as [175, p. 211, 212]. For 𝑛𝑛0 ~ 5 ∙
1014 [1/cm3 ] we have at the maximum of the cross section
𝜆𝜆𝑒𝑒 ~ 6 [cm], and for the other values of 𝜎𝜎𝑖𝑖 : 𝜆𝜆𝑒𝑒 ≳ 10 −
16 [cm]. Thus, during electron acceleration, the mean free
path of the electron 𝜆𝜆𝑒𝑒 during the ionization process of the at-
oms is all the time longer than the distance between the central
electrode and the net of the chamber 5 [cm].
Therefore, the ionization of neutral particles by electrons
in the residual air is small and this mechanism does not make
a significant contribution to the current. That is, a cascade of
electrons does not appear, which is the primary element of the
breakdown in many types of discharges [185, p. 339]. So, this
experiment is significantly different from many experiments
with gas discharges in long tubes, where the interelectrode dis-
tance is relatively large and the accelerated electrons have
time to ionize the residual gas.
3. The ionization of residual gas neutrals by ions is also small.
Under the assumption that the number of neutrals domi-
nates over the number of ions, the average free path of the ion
in elastic collisions 𝜆𝜆𝑖𝑖,𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 can be roughly estimated in order of
magnitude by the average length of the free path of the neutral
[185, p. 63]. According to [175, p. 46, 51], for 𝑁𝑁2 and 𝑂𝑂2 at the
493
pressure rarefaction by 𝑁𝑁𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣 times, taking into account the in-
verse proportionality of the mean free path to the concentration
of atoms, we have 𝜆𝜆𝑖𝑖,𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 ~ 6.5 ∙ 10−6 𝑁𝑁𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣 ≈ 0.3 [cm].
Thus, at the distance between the electrodes of 4 [cm],
ions, like electrons, can gain energy ~103 [eV]. However, the
ionization cross section of neutrals with ions of such energies
is smaller than the cross section of ionization of neutrals by
electrons (noticeable ionization by ions can start from several
keV or even tens of keV) [197, p. 194; 198]. Therefore, the
free path of the ion for the ionization process of the neutral is
greater than that of the electron, and therefore, according to
subsection 2, the ions fall on the cathode, without having time
to ionize the neutrals.
4. Let us discuss the possibility of electron emission from elec-
trodes under the action of the electric field.
At the measured field and current, there should be no no-
ticeable emission of electrons from the cathode under the ac-
tion of 𝐸𝐸, since in this mode the field 𝐸𝐸 ~ 103 [V/cm] is small
compared with the breakdown field in the vacuum ~107 [V/
cm]. Besides, under these conditions, the Schottky correction
(see formula (6.7) in [185] or [121, p. 567]), which takes into
account the influence of the external electric field on the elec-
tron work function out of the metal, is ~0.007 [eV], which is
insignificant in comparison with the work function itself
~4 [eV] (see sec. 23.9.6).
Estimates of the amplification of the electric field on mi-
cro-protrusions, see, for example, the arguments in [28, p. 449;
195, p. 16], most likely, give a highly overestimated result,
since they are based on giving physical meaning to mathemat-
ical abstraction, in which the electric field increases infinitely
as the tip radius tends to zero, and do not take into account
many processes that occur near the micro-protrusion and di-
494
rectly on it, for example, the polarization of molecules and sep-
aration of charges weakening the electric field, the occurrence
of a potential difference between the tip of the microprotrusion
and the electrode surface. Also, the estimates are strongly
based on the assumption of the shape and size of protrusions,
for example, by setting the microprotrusion size to zero, an ar-
bitrarily large electric field can be obtained [28, p. 449].
In any case, in the etheric interpretation, according to sec.
23.9.6, there is a discharge mode (electric field strength) in
which the ether flows out of the cathode without detaching
electrons from the atoms because of the insufficient energy
density of the ether flow. This mode in modern physics is as-
sociated with electron tunneling.
In the electric field of constant direction, the electron
emission from the anode, if present, does not lead to an in-
crease in the number of free electrons, since they must be
quickly attracted by the anode [185, sec. 6.3.4; 188, p. 175].
5. There are no signs of thermal emission of electrons or ions,
since there is no red-yellow emission of electrodes and signif-
icant changes of their surface.
6. Let us analyze the possibility of emission from the cathode of
electrons under the influence of light (photoelectric effect, see,
for example: [188, ch. 4; 193, p. 200–204]).
A bluish-violet glow is observed on the electrodes. The
power of the energy emitted in this case, 𝑊𝑊𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 , can be approx-
imately estimated by comparing the brightness of the glow
with the brightness of a light source, such as a lamp, with a
known radiation power 𝑊𝑊lamp . The surface power density of
radiation from a lamp at a distance 𝑅𝑅 is 𝑊𝑊lamp /(4𝜋𝜋𝑅𝑅 2 ).
Let on the luminous surface of the electrode with the area
𝑆𝑆𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 this density be compared with the radiation density of the
electrode 𝑊𝑊𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 /𝑆𝑆𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 : 𝑊𝑊lamp /(4𝜋𝜋𝑅𝑅 2 ) = 𝑊𝑊𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 /𝑆𝑆𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 . Then
𝑊𝑊𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 = 𝑊𝑊lamp 𝑆𝑆𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 /(4𝜋𝜋𝑅𝑅 2 ). The luminescence emitted from
495
the electrodes becomes hardly noticeable when the lamp with
the radiation power 𝑊𝑊lamp ~ 200 [W] is turned on at the dis-
tance 𝑅𝑅 ~ 100 [cm]. For the area of the luminous surface
𝑆𝑆𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 ~ 1 [cm2 ], we have 𝑊𝑊𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 ~ 0.002 [W].
According to [121, p. 575], the photocurrent of saturation
per unit power of monochromatic radiation incident on the
cathode is 𝐼𝐼𝜆𝜆 = 0.807 𝑌𝑌𝜆𝜆 𝜆𝜆 [mA/W], where 𝑌𝑌𝜆𝜆 is the number of
photoelectrons released from the surface into vacuum per each
photon falling on the cathode surface (quantum yield), 𝜆𝜆 -
wavelength in [nm]. In the ultraviolet range, 𝜆𝜆 ~ 100 [nm]
The radiation energy in the ultraviolet range is
ℎ𝜈𝜈 ~ 12 [eV]. The quantum yield 𝑌𝑌𝜆𝜆 from the surface of pure
copper at radiation energies of ≲ 10 [eV] does not exceed
10−2 electrons per photon [121, p. 575; 185, p. 200]. Then
𝐼𝐼𝜆𝜆 ≈ 1 [mA/W].
We find that if the cathode gets all the radiation energy of
the anode, then the photocurrent 𝐼𝐼ф = 𝐼𝐼𝜆𝜆 𝑊𝑊𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 does not exceed
the maximum possible value in this experiment 2 ∙ 10−6 [A].
Thus, the photocurrent cannot explain the measured value of
the current.
7. Let us discuss the emission of ions from the anode under the
action of accelerated electrons.
It is known that the electron energy of several keV and the
current density of electrons of the order of 10−3 [A/cm2 ] are
not sufficient for electrons to pull out an ion (electron-ion
emission) from the anode [196, p. 559].
Sec. 1 shows that electrons acquire an energy of about
1 [keV] in the field and their current density is much smaller
than 10−3 [A/cm2 ]. Besides, sec. 2–6 established the absence
of electron sources that could noticeably change the initial
electron concentration in air, increasing their current density.
Therefore, electron-ion emission also does not make a notice-
able contribution to the measured current.
496
8. The formation of a significant number of negative ions due to
getting by neutral of electron from the cathode does not occur,
since under the experimental conditions there is no emission
of electrons from the cathode (see subsection 4). Besides, the
binding energy of an electron with an atom or molecule in a
negative ion (electron affinity energy) [121, p. 421] is much
smaller than the work of the electron exit from the metal sur-
face [121, p. 568]. Therefore, neutrals do not have enough
binding energy to pull out a significant amount of electrons
from the cathode.
9. The formation of a significant number of positive ions due to
the separation of electrons from neutrals by the electric field
occurs at very high fields 𝐸𝐸 ≳ 108 [V/cm] and is associated
with electron tunneling, see, for example: [197, p. 196; 199,
p. 12]. Such fields are usually attributed to anode micropro-
trusions. However, in the experiment under consideration,
there is no increase in the measured 𝐸𝐸 by six orders of magni-
tude even by overestimation [28, p. 449].
Besides, in the etheric interpretation, the current in the
conductor is primarily due to the ether motion, and not free
electrons (see sec. 18.10, 23.6.1, 23.3).). Therefore, electrons
pulled off from neutrals, not having the opportunity to flow
through a conductor, would have to accumulate in large quan-
tities on the surface of the anode, but this is not observed.
10. Let us consider the effect of electrons pulling out from the
cathode by accelerated ions (ion-electron emission).
Ions on the interval ~5 [cm] in the field 𝐸𝐸 ~ 103 [V/cm]
can acquire energy ~1 [keV] (see subsection 3). Such energy
is enough to overcome the electron work function ~4 [eV] in
the collision of the ion with the cathode. However, according
to subsections 1–3, 5, 7–9, there are no noticeable ion sources;
therefore, ion-electron emission can occur only with the par-
ticipation of a very small initial amount of ions (see subsection
497
1). Considering that the number of pulled out electrons per one
keV ion is much smaller than unity, see, for example: [121, p.
590], such a process can increase the concentration of elec-
trons only slightly. Thus, ion-electron emission does not make
a significant contribution to the measured current.
11. Ion-ion emission at the cathode, if present, also does not make
a significant contribution to the current, since the formed ions
in the electric field with constant sign must quickly be pulled
to the cathode.
Thus, the behavior of electrons and ions in the experiment under
consideration does not explain the observed magnitude of the electric
current.
The analysis of such experiments, as already noted, has led phys-
ics to the necessity of introducing energy states and virtual particles
into the void. Such a step can be interpreted as a return to the concept
of the media in which all processes take place, that is, to the ether. In
physics, an even more exotic for understanding method of eliminating
contradictions in the theory of vacuum conduction and explaining the
initial stage of the discharge in it is adopted – the imparting of elec-
trons with a tunneling property [188, ch. 3, sec. 4, 8; 185, sec. 6.5.1].
In this book, instead of strange theoretical abstractions, a con-
sistent, logically unifying many physical laws, methodology for inter-
preting phenomena is proposed, which is based on two postulates:
preservation of the amount of the ether and the amount of its motion.
In this methodology, a dark current and related phenomena have a
simple and visual explanation.
In the etheric interpretation, the electric current is a current of the
ether with a non-zero rotor of rotor, see sec. 12. With sufficient pres-
sure, the ether current is pulled out from the surface of the electrode
to the outside and comes to another electrode. Electrons and ions can
also move in the flow of the ether between the electrodes, but, accord-
ing to the above quantitative estimates, the main effect of the dark
(pre-breakdown) current is due to the flow of the ether. An additional
498
confirmation of this is the fulfillment in the vacuum (ether without
substance) of the Wiedemann – Franz law analogue, in which the ther-
mal conductivity of the ether is used, calculated with kinetics of new-
tonians, see sec. 21.11.
A sufficiently strong ether flow excites neutral atoms of the elec-
trodes and the residual air. Returning to the unexcited state, the atoms
emit quanta of light. There is a glow. The spatial inhomogeneity of
the ether flow near the electrodes is greater than between them, there-
fore the excitation and, accordingly, the glow around the electrodes is
stronger. The bluish-purple color of the glow is due to the pronounced
presence of this color in the spectra of nitrogen, oxygen, copper, zinc,
and iron atoms.
An increase of the potential difference between the electrodes
corresponds to an increase of the ether pressure difference between
them, see formula (75). An increase in the pressure difference leads
to an increase in the flow of ether, which makes the glow brighter,
warms the electrode, begins to tear electrons from atoms (see sec.
23.9.6, 23.9.7) primarily in microprotrusions, where the strength of
the material is weaker, and may even lead to an explosion of the elec-
trode (see sec. 18.10). With the appearance of a large emission of
electrons, the dark discharge passes into the breakdown one.
The experiments known earlier and described here allow to draw
the most important conclusion: the negative charge of a certain region
is appropriate to the increased ether pressure inside it compared to the
pressure of the surrounding ether.
For example, in the experiments conducted in the high vacuum,
independently by different authors [189, p. 57–64], it is shown that,
before the appearance of a noticeable current, the glow starts from the
cathode (negatively charged electrode). And in general, the cathodic
breakdown initiation mechanism is considered to be the main one
[186, p. 26]. According to the equation of motion (5), the ether flows
in the direction of smaller pressure. From here we conclude that in the
cathode (or in its boundary area) there is increased ether pressure.
499
From the ether point of view, the flow of current from the cathode
to the anode means that the anode accepts the flow of the ether. This
is possible under reduced pressure of the ether inside the anode com-
pared to the pressure in the surrounding ether.
These conclusions are confirmed by the following observations
in our experiments. The glow of an uninsulated cathode surface oc-
curs from all sides, and not only from the anode side (this effect is
also observed on the superconducting cathode [192]). At that the tip
of the cathode glows less brightly than the side surfaces. This differ-
ence in luminescence is especially vividly manifested on the bitbrace
(kolovrat) with uninsulated needles when the negative pole is con-
nected to it, see sec. 23.9.4. This means that the flow of the ether be-
gins to break out of the cathode as soon as the insulation of the wire
ends and the distance to the anode, which retracts the ether, decreases.
First of all, the current can come from microprotrusions, where the
atomic structure is weakened.
The effect of the outflow of the ether from the cathode at the "first
opportunity" explains the formation of a dark space around the tip of
the cathode, where the flow velocity is weaker and less excites a re-
sidual gas.
The anode, on the contrary, glows mainly near the tip. This can
be explained by blocking its uninsulated surface with particles en-
trained by the ether and weakening of the ether flow velocity in the
region farther from the cathode. The anode tip glows brighter, which
is appropriate to the beginning of the ether drawing in the place of the
most weakened atomic structure.
Such conclusions are confirmed by a much larger glow spot on
the net around the electrode when the negative pole is connected with
it compared to the positive one. On a negatively charged net, the ether
is emitted from a larger area on it. At a positively charged net, the
ether is indrawn at the closest to the cathode tip places.
The conclusion about the excess pressure of the ether in the cath-
ode also agrees with the understanding of the emission of electrons
from the cathode as evicting them by the ether, see sec. 23.9.6.
500
In other words, the surface of the cathode can be represented as a
set of nozzles on a chamber with increased gas pressure (or small
holes in a balloon), and the anode as a set of drain channels.
In the steady state, the direction of the electric field between the
cathode and the anode is defined by the gradient of the ether pressure
between them, see formulas (72), (15). If at the exit beyond the bound-
ary of the cathode, in which the ether pressure is increased, the flow
of the ether accelerates, and before the surface of the anode – decel-
erates, then, according to (15), (72), in the case of slightly varying
ether density, the pressure gradient is directed to the anode, and the
electric field to the cathode. This is appropriate to the adopted in phys-
ics direction of the electric field: from a positive to negative charge,
see, for example: [28, p. 19, 20].
The need to increase the voltage (the ether pressure) with a deep-
ening of the vacuum when creating a dark current can be explained
by reducing the number of collisions of residual gas molecules with
electrode surfaces, which begins to weaken less the bonds between
atoms in the surface layers of the electrodes making it more difficult
for the ether to flow through these layers.
501
of the electrodes, see fig. 18. Both not isolated from the current and
the isolated magnet surfaces were considered.
The magnetic field near the electrode tip was about 0.15 [T] =
0.15 ∙ 104 [Gauss]. Electrons with the energy of ~1 [keV] in such a
field have small Larmor radii 𝑟𝑟𝐿𝐿,𝑒𝑒 < 0.7 [mm] compared with the
magnet size. Therefore, the magnetic field prevents the electrons from
reaching the tip of the anode (see also experiment in [171, p. 478–
480]) and its acceleration by the constant electric field in the direction
transverse to the magnetic field.
However, due to the presence of the electric field, complete elec-
tron locking in the direction transverse to the magnetic field does not
occur. As a result of electric drift [28, p. 366] the electron leaves the
region of the constant magnet field in time 𝑡𝑡𝑑𝑑 ~ (𝑟𝑟𝑚𝑚 − 2𝑟𝑟𝐿𝐿,𝑒𝑒 )/𝑣𝑣𝑑𝑑 <
6.0 ∙ 10−9 [s], where 𝐯𝐯𝑑𝑑 = 𝑐𝑐𝐄𝐄 × 𝐁𝐁/𝐵𝐵 2 ≈ 1.7 ∙ 107 𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 [cm/s] is the
speed of the electric drift, 𝑟𝑟𝑚𝑚 = 0.2 [cm] is the radius of the zone near
the center of the magnet, where 𝐁𝐁 ≈ 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 and 𝐄𝐄 ⊥ 𝐁𝐁.
502
During the confinement time 𝑡𝑡𝑑𝑑 the electron manages to make
𝑡𝑡𝑑𝑑 /(𝑣𝑣𝑒𝑒 /2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝐿𝐿,𝑒𝑒 ) ~ 25 revolutions along the Larmor circle and pass a
total of about 25 2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝐿𝐿,𝑒𝑒 ~ 8 [cm]. In subsection 2, the average mean
free path of the keV electron is calculated in ionization of the 𝑁𝑁2 and
𝑂𝑂2 molecules: 𝜆𝜆𝑒𝑒 ~ 16 [cm]. Therefore, the available path of elec-
trons, even taking into account the confinement time, is not sufficient
for substantial ionization of the residual gas.
Thus, in the experiment with the magnet, there is no birth of a
significant number of additional charged particles whose motion
could make a noticeable contribution to the dark current. This conclu-
sion is confirmed in the experiment by the absence of a luminescence
band in the direction of the electric drift near the magnet plane.
The velocity of the ether flow between the electrodes 𝐕𝐕 is related
with the current density 𝐣𝐣, which can be measured in the experiment,
by the formula (133)
𝐕𝐕 = 𝐣𝐣/𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 .
Denote with the letter 𝐮𝐮 the velocity of the ether flow caused by
the permanent magnet. The creation of velocity 𝐕𝐕 in this flow leads
to the influence on the element of the ether volume 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 of the general-
ized Zhukovsky force 𝑑𝑑𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕 , which in the absence of external non-po-
tential forces, according to formula (121), is

𝑑𝑑𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕 = �𝐕𝐕 × �𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮)� + 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮 × (𝛁𝛁 × 𝐕𝐕)� 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑.

Taking into account the definition of the magnetic field (20) and
the transformations used in deriving of the formula (134), we have for
the force volume density

where 𝐣𝐣 is the current density between the electrodes, 𝐁𝐁𝐕𝐕 is the mag-
netic field created by this current, 𝐁𝐁 is the field of the permanent mag-
net.
We integrate the equation of the ether motion (5) on a small time
interval ∆𝑡𝑡 for the case 𝐅𝐅 = 𝑑𝑑𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕 /𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
Assuming that during the time ∆𝑡𝑡 the right hand side changes weakly,
we obtain the increment of the ether flow density ∆(𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐕𝐕)
𝑑𝑑𝐅𝐅𝐕𝐕
∆(𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐕𝐕) ≈ � − 𝛁𝛁𝑝𝑝� ∆𝑡𝑡.

𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 2 𝑐𝑐 2 𝑦𝑦
Here 𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 , 𝐢𝐢𝑥𝑥 , 𝐢𝐢𝑦𝑦 are unit vectors along the 𝑥𝑥, 𝑦𝑦, 𝑧𝑧 axes (see fig. 18).
Let us estimate ∆𝑧𝑧 and ∆𝑥𝑥 in our experiment, assuming that 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚
is close to the unperturbed ether density 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 (228), and compare the
result with the observed deviation of the glow.
We have 𝐣𝐣 = 𝐼𝐼/𝑆𝑆 𝐢𝐢𝐕𝐕 , where 𝐼𝐼 is the measured current, 𝑆𝑆 is the
cross-sectional area of the glow region between the electrodes, 𝐢𝐢𝐕𝐕 is
the unit vector in the direction of the ether flow velocity 𝐕𝐕, 𝐢𝐢𝐕𝐕 = ±𝐢𝐢𝑦𝑦 .
For 𝐼𝐼 ≈ 1.5 ∙ 10−3 [A] = 4.5 ∙ 106 [statA], 𝑆𝑆 ≈ 0.023 [cm2 ] we get
𝐣𝐣 = 2 ∙ 108 𝐢𝐢𝐕𝐕 [statA/cm2 ]. Then at 𝐵𝐵 ≈ 0.15 [T] = 0.15 ∙
104 [Gauss]: 𝐣𝐣 × 𝐁𝐁/𝑐𝑐 ≈ ±10.0 𝐢𝐢𝑧𝑧 .
505
The magnitude of the field 𝐁𝐁𝐕𝐕 , created by the current between the
electrodes, is estimated by the formula (105) with 𝑅𝑅 ≈ 0.2 [cm], cor-
responding to the distance between the tip of the electrode and the
magnet: B𝐕𝐕 ≈ 0.0015 [Gauss].
We estimate the magnitude of the velocity 𝐮𝐮 of the ether flow,
caused by a magnet, by the formula (20) |𝐁𝐁| = 𝑐𝑐|𝛁𝛁 × (𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮)| ≈
𝑐𝑐𝜌𝜌0 |𝛁𝛁 × 𝐮𝐮| ≈ 𝑐𝑐𝜌𝜌0 |𝐮𝐮|/𝑅𝑅: |𝐮𝐮| ≈ |𝐁𝐁| 𝑅𝑅/(𝑐𝑐𝜌𝜌0 ) ≈ 3 ∙ 104 [cm/s] at
𝑅𝑅 ~ 0.2 [cm].
Thus, the first term in the formula for ∆𝑧𝑧 is much larger than the
second one |𝐣𝐣 × 𝐁𝐁/𝑐𝑐| ≈ 10.0 ≫ �𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝐮𝐮 × 𝐁𝐁𝐕𝐕 �/(2𝑐𝑐) ≈ 6 ∙ 10−6 .
The time during which the ether flow passes the zone of constant
𝐁𝐁 taking into account the flow around the electrode tip: ∆𝑡𝑡 ≈
2𝑟𝑟𝑚𝑚 /𝑉𝑉 ≈ 1.4 ∙ 10−5 [s] for 𝑉𝑉 = 𝑗𝑗/𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 ≈ 3 ∙ 104 [cm/s].
Then ∆𝑧𝑧 ≈ −0.5 [cm] when the ether flows with a velocity 𝐕𝐕
along the 𝑌𝑌 axis: 𝐢𝐢𝐕𝐕 = 𝐢𝐢𝑦𝑦 . This value and direction of the ether flow
deviation near the magnet is appropriate to the luminous region devi-
ation from the horizontal in the experiment with a negative voltage
applied to the net. When the polarity of the electrodes is changed, the
luminescence deviates in the opposite direction ∆𝑧𝑧 ≈ 0.5 [cm], which
is also appropriate to the obtained analytical formula for ∆𝑧𝑧, since in
this case 𝐣𝐣 changes to −𝐣𝐣.
Now we estimate the deviation ∆𝑥𝑥. For 𝛁𝛁𝑝𝑝 in the direction trans-
verse to the current, we have 𝛁𝛁𝑝𝑝 ≈ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 (𝐕𝐕 + 𝐮𝐮)2 /𝑅𝑅 𝐢𝐢𝑥𝑥 ≈ 40 𝐢𝐢𝑥𝑥 at
𝑅𝑅 ~ 0.2 [cm]. The plus sign here corresponds to a decrease of the
ether pressure in the gap between the electrode and the magnet com-
pared with the pressure on external side of the electrode relative to the
gap. The decrease in 𝑝𝑝, according to (15), is caused by an increase in
speed arising from the narrowing of the ether flow region.
Accounting that the second term in the formula for ∆𝑥𝑥 is much
larger than the first one, we get ∆𝑥𝑥 ≈ −1.8 [cm]. That is, the ether flow
should move to the magnet, which is located at a distance of 0.2 [cm]
506
from the electrode, and be reflected from it. The luminescence appro-
priate to this situation is observed in the experiment. The effect of the
flow shift towards the gap between the electrode and the magnet is sim-
ilar to the attraction of objects when air is blown between them in ac-
cordance with the Bernoulli law (see, for example: [26, p. 494]).
We emphasize that electrons and ions, accelerated by the electric
field, can contribute in collision to the glowing s, but, as shown above,
in the experiment under consideration, they are not the main exciters
of luminescence and carriers of the dark current, but the vortex flow
of the ether.
In the etheric interpretation attempts in [184, p. 57] to find the
fractions of electrons and ions in the dark current by applying of the
magnetic field transverse to the current may mean studying the influ-
ence of the generalized Zhukovsky force (121) on the ether flow.
By accurate measurement of ∆𝑧𝑧, 𝐣𝐣 and 𝐁𝐁, it is possible to estimate
the ether density 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 . It is also of interest to estimate the magnitude of
the solid angle, in which the ether flow from the cathode is scattered
in the experiment with and without the magnet, since this effect is
observed in the form of the glow on the anode net
It is known that the velocity of electric drift in constant and uni-
form electric and magnetic fields does not depend on the charge and
mass of the particles [28, p. 366]. In the ether model, this fact can be
interpreted as a drag of all types of charged particles by the appropri-
ate ether flow in analogy with a river stream, which provides the same
speed to all objects in it. The emergence of the problem of overcom-
ing the speed of light when 𝐸𝐸 > 𝐵𝐵 in the absence of external forces
may mean the beginning of a significant obstacle to the acceleration
of charged particles by the ether structural elements – newtonians
(sec. 21.2).

In our case, four identical continuous blades were used. Each had the
shape of a rectangle. The mill was made of ordinary paper, the shel-
lac-impregnated paper, aluminum foil or golden foil. Its rotation be-
tween two electrodes in air and in the vacuum was studied. Experi-
ments were performed by F.S. Zaitsev and V.A. Chizhov.
One of the electrodes was a sharpened copper wire of cross sec-
tion of 2.5 [mm2 ] with insulated lateral surface. As the second elec-
trode, either the same as the first one was used, or a net-shaped elec-
trode. The distance between the electrodes was ~5 [cm]. The mill was
located so that the shortest segment between the electrodes did not
coincide with its axis of rotation, that is, so that the flow between the
electrodes could rotate the mill. A constant voltage was applied to the
electrodes.
In the air, intensive rotation of the mill began at the potential dif-
ference between the electrodes of ~3.5 [kV]. Such a rotation is a well-
known effect, which is explained by the so-called ion wind, see ap-
pendix 7.
The same vacuum chamber was used as in sec. 23.9.1, which pro-
vides a pressure by 5 ∙ 104 times smaller than the atmospheric one.
Experiments with mills of different materials did not show strong, as
508
in air, rotation. This means that the ion wind decreased significantly,
that is, the vacuum was created deep enough for this experiment.
However, the mills still moved. The metal mill reacted stronger
to the creation of the potential difference (the ether pressure (75)). As
the potential difference increased from 0 to ~5.5 [kV], it turned half
a turn. Nevertheless, it is still premature to conclude that the effect of
the mechanical interaction of the ether flow with the mill is observed,
since its rotation could be due to electrostatic induction in the electric
field between the electrodes, i.e. attraction to the electrode of the in-
duced charge on the blade (sec. 18.13).
Let us estimate from above the density of the ether flow kinetic
energy between the electrodes. The design of the voltage multiplying
transformer limited the amount of the current in the circuit to
15 [mA] = 4.5 ∙ 107 [statA]. The density of such a current in the wire
with the cross section of 2.5 [mm2 ] equals to 𝑗𝑗 ≈ 1.8 ∙ 109 [statA/
cm2 ], and the velocity of the ether flow is 𝑢𝑢 = 𝑗𝑗/𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 ≈ 2.7 ∙
105 [cm/s] (see ((133)).
Then for the maximum density of the ether kinetic energy in the
wire under the given conditions, we have 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝑢𝑢2 ≈ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 𝑢𝑢2 ≈
144 [erg/cm3 ], see (15), (228). This energy density corresponds to
the kinetic energy of water cubic centimeter (density 1 [g/cm3 ]),
moving at a speed of ~17 [cm/s], where the kinetic energy of water
is understood in the usual sense (not impulsed, sec. 1.4) as the density
of the work force for moving of an object from one point to another
[26, p. 131]. However, due to the high permeability of the blade for
the flow of the ether, as well as the possible reduction of the vorticity
and speed of the ether flow after the electrode leaves, the mill gets
only a small fraction of the ether flow kinetic energy in the wire. Cal-
culation of this proportion will be possible after the construction of
the matter internal structure etheric model.
Thus, to detect the mechanical rotation of the mill by the ether mo-
tion, it is necessary to conduct a more subtle experiment using a sus-
pension with less resistance to torsion, for example magnetic, and also
509
to prepare the mill of a material that well hinders the ether flow, for
example, superconducting along the plane of the blade (sec. 23.10.2)
or covered with a dense atomic substance (sec. 23.10.3). To reduce the
obstacles to the flow of the ether, it is of interest to create a deeper
vacuum and use a superconductor as one or both electrodes [192] with
good isolation of side surfaces from the ether flow through them.
23.9.4. Brace
510
The authors, together with V.A. Chizhov, S.M. Godin and I.N.
Stepanov studied the behavior of the brace in the vacuum. The same
vacuum chamber as in the experiments of sec. 23.9.1 was used, which
provides the pressure by 5 ∙ 104 times smaller than the atmospheric
one. In order to avoid the influence of the charges induced by the nee-
dles on the glass cap of the vacuum chamber, the brace was placed
inside the Faraday cage in chamber. A constant voltage of a different
sign from the same source was applied to the brace and the cage. The
use of the potential on the cage enhances the electric field.
Changes were made to the design of the brace to increase its ro-
tational speed in air. It turned out that this is facilitated by the
smoother shape of the bends of the needles, as well as the attachment
of flat insulators to the needles tips from the side of the cage, fig. 21,
made, for example, of shellac. The smoother shape of the bends re-
duces the ether pressure (voltage (75)) loss through the side surface
of the needle. The flow of ions and the ether tends to get from the tip
to the net along the shortest path, therefore such insulators increase
511
the tangential component of the flow to the rotation circumference of
the needles ends.
Experiments with the brace suspended on the filament turned out
to be the most effective, since in the vacuum the resistance of friction
on the rod tip led the rotation of the brace to stop after a while, despite
the applied voltage of ~25 [kV].
In the vacuum, when the negative voltage of ~10 − 25 [kV] was
applied to the brace, a slight rotation was observed in the direction of
the needles convexity, see fig. 21. The negative charge of the conduc-
tor is appropriate to the overpressure of the ether in it (see sec. 3,
18.13). Therefore, this behavior of the brace can be interpreted as the
result of the reactive motion under the action of the ether flows escap-
ing from the tips.
When the positive voltage of ~10 − 25 [kV] was applied to the
brace, its barely noticeable rotation in the opposite direction occurred,
toward the concavity of the needles bending. This effect can be asso-
ciated with the intake of the ether into the tip of the needles, the ether
pressure in which is reduced at the positive charge.
However, for the final conclusion about the generation of reactive
motion by the flow of the ether, it is necessary to carry out more subtle
experiments in the deeper vacuum with provision of a significant ro-
tation to the brace. It is also necessary to compare the measured rota-
tional speed with a quantitative estimate based on the theory of the
ether. A significant brace turn can be achieved with the following
modifications: improvement of insulation from the ether leakage
through the side surfaces of the needles and the surface of the wire
supplying the voltage; use of lead wire of large cross section; using a
suspension with less resistance to torsion, such as magnetic; an in-
crease in the tangential component of the ether flow near the tip of the
needle, for example, due to nozzles of one or another form made of a
material that is poorly conducting the ether.
By analogy with sec. 23.9.3 we estimate the ethereal thrust force
developed by one needle of the brace. When the current in the circuit
512
is 15 [mA] = 4.5 ∙ 107 [statA] and the needle section 1 [mm2 ], the
current density in each of the four needles is 𝑗𝑗 ≈ 1.1 ∙ 109 [statA/
cm2 ]. Then the ether in one needle moves with the speed 𝑢𝑢 =
𝑗𝑗/𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 ≈ 1.7 ∙ 105 [cm/s] (see (133)). The density of the kinetic en-
ergy of the ether flow is 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝑢𝑢2 ≈ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚,0 𝑢𝑢2 ≈ 226 [erg/cm3 ], see (15),
(228). Such a density of kinetic energy has one cubic centimeter of
water (density 1 [g/cm3 ]), moving at a speed of~21 [cm/s], where
the kinetic energy of water is understood in the usual sense (not im-
pulsed, sec. 1.4) as the density of the work force for moving of an
object between two points [26, p. 131].
However, in our experiments, due to the small tangential compo-
nent of the ether flow at the exit of the needle tip and the large ether
pressure losses through the side surfaces of the brace, only a small
fraction of the kinetic energy of the ether flow in the circuit was spent
on rotation of the brace.

youtube.com/watch?v=71v5sFu7 LT8]. The thick electrode is usually
made of foil in the form of a triangle. From above of it the thin elec-
trode in the form of a wire contour is attached on insulators. The thrust
of the ion wind at a voltage of ~20 [kV] is sufficient to raise the lifter.
The video [www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7Hxd0fAYhw] pre-
sents a modification of the brace, using asymmetric capacitors at the
ends of the needles, see fig. 24. The lead wires with positive and neg-
ative potentials are placed far from each other to reduce the loss of the
ether pressure outside the blades. This video also proposes the asym-
metric capacitor thrust force measuring with the pendulum having
shoulders of different lengths. The capacitor is fixed at the upper end
and the counterweight is fixed at the lower end.
The authors did not have time before publishing the book to con-
duct experiments with asymmetric capacitors in the vacuum. There-
fore, we will use information from the Internet about such experi-
ments without verification. We managed to find at least three trust-
worthy videos showing the motion of asymmetric capacitors in the
high vacuum, which is not explained by the ion wind.
515
The presentation [www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYMUv1VJ
3VQ] states that NASA studied in 2003 the behavior of the asymmet-
ric capacitor in the NSSTC LEEIF vacuum unit. The rotation of the
asymmetric capacitor was recorded in the vacuum at the pressure of
1.72 ∙ 10−6 [Torr], that is, at the pressure by ~4.3 ∙ 108 times smaller
than the atmospheric.
The video [youtu.be/CGN65lse5yE], published in 2011, demon-
strates the asymmetric capacitor motion in the vacuum at the pressure
of ~2.9 ∙ 10−6 [Torr]. The design of the capacitor is different from
that used in NASA.
The video [www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7Hxd0fAYhw] shows
the rotation of the modified brace with four needles in the vacuum at
the pressure of ~3.75 ∙ 10−6 [Torr]. The experiment conducted be-
fore 2006 is captured.
In the etheric interpretation, the motion of the asymmetric capac-
itor in the vacuum has a simple and clear explanation. The thin elec-
trode due to the greater curvature of the cross section creates a greater
electric field near itself than the thick electrode. Therefore, the ether
pressure gradient near the thin electrode is greater, see formula (72).
The increased pressure gradient, according to the equation of motion
(5), leads to a faster flow of the ether. In accordance with the equation
of state (15), this entails a decrease in the ether pressure near the thin
electrode compared to the ether pressure near the thick electrode.
There appears a flow of the ether in the direction of lower pressure
(5), that is, from the thick electrode to the thin one, which carries
along the thick electrode.
The positive charge corresponds to the reduced ether pressure o
in the conductor (see sec. 3, 18.13), which leads to the ether being
drawn into it. Therefore, it is advisable to connect the thin electrode
to the positive potential in order to avoid creating of the counter cur-
rent of the ether. This is usually done in experiments.
The qualitative correspondence between the theory of the ether and
the results of the presented experiments confirms the existence of the
ether and the ether mechanism of the electric current in the conductor.
516
An increase in the speed of the asymmetric capacitor motion
should be expected if a hard for the ether penetration plate is attached
to the thick electrode (for example, on the side far from the thin elec-
trode) or fixed between the electrodes. By measuring the speed of the
capacitor, it is possible to test various materials for permeability to
the ether flow.
Let us estimate the ether pressure difference at a point 𝑟𝑟 between
the parallel electrodes in the form of cylinders, having radii 𝑎𝑎 and 𝑏𝑏,
and being located at a distance of 𝑑𝑑, see fig. 22. We use the formula
for the potential of an infinitely long cylinder of radius 𝑎𝑎 uniformly
charged over the surface [28, p. 78]
𝜑𝜑0 at 𝑟𝑟 < 𝑎𝑎
𝜑𝜑𝑎𝑎 = � 2𝜋𝜋𝑎𝑎𝜎𝜎 𝑎𝑎 𝑟𝑟 ,
− ln + 𝜑𝜑0 at 𝑟𝑟 ≥ 𝑎𝑎
𝜀𝜀 𝑎𝑎
where 𝑟𝑟 is the distance to the cylinder axis, 𝜎𝜎𝑎𝑎 is the surface charge
density, 𝜀𝜀 is the dielectric constant of the medium, 𝜀𝜀 = 1 in the vac-
uum. Then
2𝜋𝜋 𝑟𝑟 𝑑𝑑 − 𝑟𝑟
𝜑𝜑𝑏𝑏 − 𝜑𝜑𝑎𝑎 = �𝑎𝑎𝜎𝜎𝑎𝑎 ln − 𝑏𝑏𝜎𝜎𝑏𝑏 ln �.
𝜀𝜀 𝑎𝑎 𝑏𝑏
According to the formula (75) for the difference of the ether pres-
sures we have
517
by dividing the charge by the surface area of the cylinder 2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋. In the
vacuum at 𝑎𝑎 = 0.3 [mm], 𝑏𝑏 = 3 [mm], 𝑙𝑙 = 50 [mm] we find
𝑞𝑞/2 𝑞𝑞/2
𝜎𝜎𝑎𝑎 = − ≈ 265, 𝜎𝜎𝑏𝑏 = ≈ −26.5 [statCoulomb/cm2 ].
2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋 2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋
For the pressure difference, for example, at the point 𝑟𝑟 = 𝑑𝑑/2,
we get
𝑝𝑝𝑏𝑏 − 𝑝𝑝𝑎𝑎 ≈ 2.9 ∙ 105 [dyne/cm2 ] = 2.9 ∙ 104 [Pa] ≈ 0.29 [atm].
518
The detailed analysis of Tolman – Stewart's experiments (sec.
23.6.1, 23.2), which are considered to be the main confirmation of the
electronic theory of conductivity in metals, and experiments with the
unipolar generator (sec. 23.3) show the inadequacy of explaining the
electric current in a conductor by the motion of a large number of free
electrons. Therefore, in discussing the emission of electrons from the
cathode, it is necessary to study not the exit and the work function of
free electrons from the conductor, but the conditions for the separa-
tion of electrons from atoms in its near-surface layer.
Besides, the birth of electrons, as objects of the ether, is possible
on the conductor surface micro-irregularities under the combined influ-
ence of a strongly swirling ether flow, the ether motion in atoms and a
significantly enhanced electric field at the edges of micro-irregularities.
The ether theory gives a clear understanding of the Tolman-Stew-
art experiments (sec. 23.6.1), the experiments of Lepeshkin (sec.
23.6.2) and the experiments with the unipolar generator (sec. 23.3) as
the occurrence of electromagnetic induction emf and Zhukovsky emf,
which are logical consequences of the ether equations of motion (4)–
(6), see sec. 9, 18.11.
Autoelectronic emission and electron photoemission can both be
explained by the effect of the ether flow.
Electron photoemission – the extraction of electrons from the
solid body by the action of photons. It can be assumed that the pres-
sure exerted by photons (the motion of the ether) on the surface of the
solid body performs work on the extrusion of electron from atom in
the surface layer of this body or creation of electron.
In the case of cold emission, the extrusion or birth mechanisms are
similar, but the ether flow acts inside the body, but not outside it.
Let us estimate the pressure 𝑃𝑃, exerted by the ether motion on the
atom during autoelectronic emission and photoelectric effect. If in the
process of electron emission from the body, energy E is expended, then
the emerging ether pressure 𝑃𝑃 can be related to the volume density
519
𝐸𝐸
𝑃𝑃 = ,
4𝜋𝜋𝑟𝑟 3 /3
where 𝑟𝑟 is the atom radius.
Atomic radii [200, p. 44], the energy of detachment of electron
from atom at autoelectronic emission 𝜑𝜑∗ (work function) [121, p. 568;
193, ch. 4, sec. 3] and at photoemission ℎ𝜈𝜈0∗ [193, ch. 4, sec. 3] are
known from the experiments. With this data, it is possible to calculate
the ether pressures 𝑃𝑃𝜑𝜑∗ and 𝑃𝑃ℎ𝜈𝜈0∗ , necessary for the detachment of elec-
tron from the atom of the solid body or birth of electron during auto-
electronic and photoemission.
The following table shows such data for some chemical elements.
Here the average atomic radius from the table in [200, p. 44] was used.
520
It can be seen that the energies of detachment at autoelectronic
and photoemission are comparable. This confirms the assumption
about the similarity of the ether mechanism of these processes.
The pressure values obtained are noticeably lower than the ether
pressure in the free space 𝑝𝑝0 ≈ 1.1 ∙ 1011 [Pa] (230). This result is
natural, since during emission it is necessary to overcome the bonding
forces of the electron in the atom of the solid body, but it is not re-
quired to destroy the solid body itself as at exploding of conductors,
when it is necessary to create a pressure of the order 𝑝𝑝0 (sec. 18.10).
The etheric nature of the discussed effects is also confirmed by
the formation of the cathode spots in not previously determined places
[193, ch. 4, sec. 2, p. 197, 201; 189, p. 206, 207]. By analogy with the
breakthroughs of macroscopic bodies, the breakthroughs of the elec-
trode surface by the flow of the ether arise as the cumulative result of
the confluence of many microfactors at a specific point in time of the
experiment. At that, the formula for the cathode heating power during
the delay and further remains the same, since, according to (150), the
density of the energy power of the ether flow in the electric circuit is
expressed through the measured current density and the electric field.
We emphasize that electrons do not appear in formula (150).
The emission energy of electrons from the solid body is 3 – 4 times
smaller than the ionization energy of the individual atom outside the
solid body. This means the existence of the sufficiently strong ether
flow inside the solid body created by atoms and their structural ele-
ments (even in the absence of the electric current), since, according to
the equation of state (15), the pressure in the presence of flow decreases
and the electron in the atom of the solid body is less suppressed from
the outside by the ether than in a single atom located in free space.
The inertialess property of the photoelectric effect is known from
the experiment, that is, the appearance of a photocurrent instantane-
ously – simultaneously with illumination. Many scientific and tech-
nical applications of the photoelectric effect are based on this property
521
[30, p. 17]. In the ether interpretation, in contrast to the accepted one,
see, for example: [30, p. 17], this property has a simple and natural
explanation as almost instantaneous excess of the threshold pressure,
which is necessary for the separation of the electron from the atom of
the solid body, when turning on the light propagating at high speed.
It is believed in physics that photon energy in the photo effect is
absorbed through the electron [30, p. 17]. In the etheric interpretation,
the photon energy, in addition to transferring it to the electron, can be
expended on the creation of the ether flow inside and around the sur-
face of the conductor. The energy of such a flow can be spent, for
example, on increasing the thermal vibrations of the conductor struc-
tural elements or on birth of the electron. A similar situation occurs in
the autoelectronic emission. Thus, taking into account the formula
(12), the ether equation of energy balance at the photo effect or auto-
electronic emission is
𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑒 𝑣𝑣𝑒𝑒2
+ 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮2 𝑉𝑉𝜈𝜈 = ℎ𝜈𝜈 − 𝐴𝐴,
2
where 𝐴𝐴 is the work function, 𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑒 and 𝑣𝑣𝑒𝑒 are the electron mass and
velocity, 𝑉𝑉𝜈𝜈 is the volume of the region in which the photon or electric
field creates a flow of the ether with velocity 𝐮𝐮 and density 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 when
the electron is detached or born.
In the case of 𝐮𝐮 = 0, we obtain the well-known Einstein formula
for the maximum kinetic energy of an electron emitted during the pho-
toelectric effect, see, for example: [30, formula (2.1)],
2
𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑒 𝑣𝑣𝑒𝑒,max
= ℎ𝜈𝜈 − 𝐴𝐴.

23.9.7. Breakdown current
Let us discuss the role of the ether flow, electrons, and ions in the
breakdown (spark) gas discharge. As has been repeatedly noted, free
522
electrons in the wire, if present, cannot ensure the flow of the electric
current, and hence the delivery of charge to the electrode. The question
arises: what then supports the negative and positive charge of the elec-
trodes in the breakdown mode of the self-maintained discharge when
there are a lot of charged particles moving between the electrodes?
The negative charge (the increased pressure of the ether, see sec.
3, 23.9.1), carried away from the cathode by detached electrons, is
partially compensated by the reduced ether pressure, which is created
by the negative pole of the voltage source.
Similarly, for the anode, emission ions carry away a positive
charge (reduced ether pressure), which is compensated by the reduced
pressure of the positive pole of the voltage source.
Separated (under the action of the ether flow or bombardment by
particles) from the electrode, large in size clusters carry appropriate
increased or decreased ether pressure (negative or positive charge) to
the corresponding electrode. In case of contact with the opposite elec-
trode, the pressure of the ether in the cluster is equalized with the
pressure on the electrode.
As a result, the spark discharge between the electrodes estab-
lishes a certain ether pressures difference (the potential difference
(75)) and the breakdown electric current, which is transferred in the
general case by the flow of the ether, electrons, ions and macroscopic
clusters of cathode and anode materials.

23.10.1. Rotation of partially superconducting ceramic disk
in a magnetic field. Counteraction to gravity in the
Podkletnov experiment
524
part of the disk could withstand a current of up to 15000 [A/cm2 ] in
magnetic fields of up to 2 [T]. It is stated [163] that in experiments
the currents in the SC were 5000 − 7000 [A/cm2 ].
The disk was located in the metal cryostat. Two side solenoids
with a current of the frequency 105 [Hz] created electric current in the
disk at room temperature. Then the system was slowly cooled by liq-
525
uid nitrogen to the temperature of 100 [K], and then quickly by he-
lium vapors to less than 70 [K]. The upper plane of the disk became
superconducting, and the lower did not.
Then the side solenoids were turned off and the high-frequency
current in the supporting solenoids was turned on to raise the disk to
a height of more than 1.5 [cm]. After that, a small current with the
frequency of 105 [Hz] was passed through the side solenoids, which
began to drive the disk in a counterclockwise rotation. The disk was
spun up to 5000 [rpm], while the current in the wire of the side sole-
noid with a diameter of 1.2 [mm] was 8 − 10 [A].
The influence of known factors capable to change the weight of
objects was either isolated or was small, see sec. 4 in [163].
The measurements were carried out in the quasi-equilibrium
state, remaining more than 10 [min]. Objects from various materials,
including metal, glass, plastic, wood, etc., were suspended above a
cryostat on a thread of cotton at a height from 2.5 to 300 [cm] above
the cryostat.
The frequency of the magnetic field in the side solenoids ranged
from 103 to 108 [Hz].
Depending on the temperature, the disk rotation speed, frequency
and magnitude of the magnetic field in the solenoids, there was a loss
from 0.3 to 2.1% of the weight of materials of different composition
and mass, suspended above the disk at the height from 2.5 to 300 [cm].
The region in which this effect was observed was an upward hol-
low cylinder with a base on the superconducting side, the inner radius
of which was at a distance of 0.5 − 0.7 [cm] from the inner boundary
of the torus (disk), and the outer radius at the distance of no more than
2 [cm] from the outer edge of the torus, see fig. 25. On the bottom
side of the disk, no object weight reduction was observed.
Without rotating the disk, the weight of objects decreased by
~0.06 %.
The maximum weight loss of ~0.5 % occurred almost inde-
pendently of the object's height from 2.5 to 300 [cm] when rotating
526
at 5000 [rpm], the current frequency in side solenoids 3.2 − 3.8 ∙
106 [Hz] and location drive at the highest possible height of 3 −
3.5 [cm] from the supporting solenoids. Such a regime was not
achieved at temperatures above 70 [K], although SC arose already at
94 [K]. At slowing down of the rotational speed from 5000 to
3300 [rpm] for 25 − 30 [s], the weight decreased by 2.1 %.
Objects of different materials lost the same weight. Objects made
of the same material and similar in size, but of different mass, also
lost an equal share of its weight. The greatest losses occurred when
the flat surface of the object was oriented parallel to the disk.
Replacing the disk with metal or made entirely from SC ceramics
did not reduce the weight of objects. This confirms the importance of
differences in the upper and lower parts of the disk.
The effect of weight reduction was observed only in the electro-
magnetic field of alternating current. According to [165], the effect
did not appear with a fixed disk, the constant current in supporting
solenoids and higher than 70 [K] temperature of the SC.
Sec. 5–7 of ref. [163] contain a lot of other information about the
observed phenomenon. However, the information provided here is
sufficient for further analysis.
The data [163, 165] оf objects weight loss of ~0.06 % even with
the stationary disk or in the stationary magnetic field can be explained
by partial screening of the Earth’s magnetic and electric fields by the
SC, which, as is known, does not let these fields inward. The shielding
changes the Earth's gravitational ether flow near the object. Exact
etheric calculation of the object weight in this case requires knowledge
of the direction and magnitude of the Earth’s magnetic and electric
fields at the location of the experiment, details of these fields flow
around the SC and details of the interaction of the ether gravitational
flow with the object. Such research is a matter of the future. At present,
within the framework of the simplified model (179), (180), we can only
say that with the universal for typical objects multiplier 𝜆𝜆 (177), the
change in the object weight is due to the change in the size of the object
527
boundary layer 𝑎𝑎∗ and/or the azimuthal component of the Earth’s gravi-
tational flow speed 𝑢𝑢0,𝜑𝜑 , caused by partial screening of the ether flow
corresponding to the Earth’s magnetic and electric fields.
In the presence of magnetic fields higher than Earth’s one can
perform a more meaningful analysis.
In the system [163], external magnetic fields near the disk have
components parallel to its surface. In side solenoids, the magnetic
field is created parallel to the disk surface 𝐁𝐁𝑠𝑠 , with the exception of
the area near the end faces. The magnetic field of the supporting (up-
holding) solenoids 𝐁𝐁𝑢𝑢 at the maximum possible height of the disk
above them also has a component, in a large part of the space near the
disk, parallel to disk’s surface, see fig. 25. The magnetic field of the
current 𝐁𝐁𝑗𝑗 near the upper part of the SC disk surface has only a tan-
gential component to it, since the normal component is zero due to the
absence of the magnetic field inside the SC and continuity condition
of the normal component at the media boundary.
The Earth’s magnetic field and the magnetic field (297), created
by the rotating disk, can be neglected, since they are small compared
to the 𝐁𝐁𝑠𝑠 , 𝐁𝐁𝑢𝑢 and 𝐁𝐁𝑗𝑗 fields.
The velocity of the ether flow in the SC part of the disk 𝐮𝐮𝑗𝑗 , cor-
responding to the current density in it (127), is parallel to the disk
plane, since the current flows along the surface. The linear velocity 𝐕𝐕
(207) of the ether rotation by the non-superconducting part of the disk
also lies in the plane of the disk.
As a result, the velocity 𝐮𝐮𝑗𝑗 in combination with the fields 𝐁𝐁𝑠𝑠 , 𝐁𝐁𝑗𝑗
and the velocity 𝐕𝐕 in combination with the field 𝐁𝐁𝑢𝑢 create in the ether
the generalized Zhukovsky force (121). The increment of its pressure
on the transverse to the plane of the disk segments 𝑑𝑑𝐥𝐥1,𝑎𝑎 , 𝑑𝑑𝐥𝐥1,𝑏𝑏 on two
conductive boundaries of the upper SC part of the disk and on the
transverse to the plane of the disk segment 𝑑𝑑𝐥𝐥2 in the lower non-SC
part of the disk are described approximately by the formula (204):
528
𝐮𝐮𝑗𝑗
𝑑𝑑𝑝𝑝Ж,1,𝑎𝑎 = 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 � × �𝐁𝐁𝑠𝑠 + 𝐁𝐁𝑗𝑗 �� ∙ 𝑑𝑑𝐥𝐥1,𝑎𝑎 ,
𝑐𝑐 𝑎𝑎
𝐮𝐮𝑗𝑗
𝑑𝑑𝑝𝑝Ж,1,𝑏𝑏 = 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 � × �𝐁𝐁𝑠𝑠 + 𝐁𝐁𝑗𝑗 �� ∙ 𝑑𝑑𝐥𝐥1,𝑏𝑏 ,
𝑐𝑐 𝑏𝑏
𝐕𝐕
𝑑𝑑𝑝𝑝Ж,2 = 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 � × 𝐁𝐁𝑢𝑢 � ∙ 𝑑𝑑𝐥𝐥2 .
𝑐𝑐
It is assumed that the objects were not suspended above the side
solenoids. Therefore, created by them in the transverse to the disk di-
rection Zhukovsky force, arising from the combination of the ether
flow velocity in the coils of the solenoid and the magnetic field of the
current in the SC, is not considered here.
According to the second Newton's law (5), the density of the Zhu-
kovsky force, considered as the density of the external force 𝐅𝐅, causes
the flow of the ether. This flow is generated in the layers of the disk,
where there are non-zero velocities 𝐮𝐮𝑗𝑗 and 𝐕𝐕. Due to the use of the
alternating magnetic field, this flow appears in each fixed direction as
a set of impulses (quanta).
Over the superconducting layer, the ether flow density in the
quantum is almost constant in time and space 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮 ≈ 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐, because
the SC does not pass the variable part of 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮 through itself, but passes
a constant part (at least partially) for which the magnetic and electric
fields are zero (see (20), (21)), otherwise the SC or objects surrounded
by it would noticeably lose weight in the Earth’s gravitational flow.
Due to the low viscosity (sec. 21.7) and self-diffusion (sec. 21.8) of
the ether and the high penetrating ability of the isotropic steady state
ether flow, the generated flow spreads over a fairly large distance with
little or no change. This explains the preservation of the reducing
weight effect at a relatively high altitude above the disk. The weight
of the object under study decreases, apparently, as a result of the in-
teraction of the generated quanta fronts with the boundary gravita-
tional layer of the object and its structural elements.

Thus, assuming that contribution of the sides of the supercon-
ducting part of the disk to the Zhukovsky force pressure is approxi-
mately the same 𝑑𝑑𝑝𝑝Ж,1 ≡ 𝑑𝑑𝑝𝑝Ж,1,𝑎𝑎 ≈ 𝑑𝑑𝑝𝑝Ж,1,𝑏𝑏 , the total pressure cre-
ated by this force over the disk can be represented as

The Zhukovsky force at a large time, compared to the frequency
of the magnetic field, creates pressure in one direction along the ver-
tical in approximately half of the magnetic fields oscillation phases.
Then the average pressure in one direction along the vertical in such
a period of time will be approximately two times smaller

The greatest weight loss, when the flat surface of an object is ori-
ented parallel to the disk, corresponds to the increase in the pressure
force 𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑝𝑝Ж with the increase in the area 𝑆𝑆 on which the pressure 𝑑𝑑𝑝𝑝Ж
is applied.
The disappearance of the weight reduction effect when replacing
a disk with a ferrite one is due to the weak spinning of the ether (low
speed 𝑉𝑉) due to the much more ordered crystal lattice of ferrite, com-
pared to the lower part of the SC disk, especially at low temperatures,
when the lattice atoms fluctuate slightly.
From the analysis performed, it follows that the lower non-SC
part of the disk is necessary for the spinning of the ether and the gen-
eration with the participation of supporting solenoids of the upward
flow of the ether quanta. The upper SC part of the disk is to ensure its
levitation in the side solenoids (isolation from contact with them), ro-
tation of the disk and alignment of the ether flow density in upward
moving quanta created by the bottom part of the disk. Apparently, the
absence of a sharp SC boundary inside the disk facilitates the passage
of quanta in the upper part.
The appearance of the weight reduction effect only at 70 [K],
while the SC mode began already at 94 [K], indicates the need to cool
the transition layer between the SC and non-SC parts of the disk,
which has a non-zero resistance and heats up in the high-frequency
magnetic field. Cooling reduces the oscillation of the structural ele-
ments of this layer and improves the flow of the ether through it,
which is generated in the lower part of the disk.

When estimating of the object weight decrease by the relation be-
tween the pressures 𝑑𝑑𝑝𝑝Ж and ∆𝑝𝑝∗ acting on it, it is necessary to take
into account that the gravitational impact of the total ether flow occurs
in the boundary layer of the object, where the ether flow velocity
changes greatly. The details of this process are not considered in the
approximate estimate. One can only claim that due to the discrete struc-
ture of the object, not all the generated pressure 𝑑𝑑𝑝𝑝Ж is transferred to
it. With this in mind, we can conclude that there is a quantitative agree-
ment in order of magnitude between the ether estimate of the object
weight reduction effect and experimentally obtained values of ~1 %.
A magnetic system at three points is used to decelerate the disk.
However, [163, fig. 9] shows only its general form without a descrip-
tion of any details of the device and functioning. Therefore, it is dif-
ficult to establish the specific reason for the reduction in weight dur-
ing deceleration. According to the formula (326), the reduction in
weight can be caused by an increase in any of its four variables, or
their combination. Besides, the effect of the force density described
in (23) by the partial derivative over time is possible.
In accordance with (326), it is possible to achieve a greater re-
duction in the object’s weight by creating in the lower part of the disk
an additional constant radial magnetic field, directed toward the axis
of rotation.
One can try to reduce gravity in another way – by the direct im-
pact on the cause of its occurrence – the speed of the Earth's gravita-
tional ether flow 𝑢𝑢𝜑𝜑,0 (287). This speed is approximately parallel to
the surface of the Earth, and the gravity force (Zhukovsky force)
arises perpendicular to it (as on the wing of a flying aircraft). There-
fore, to implement this idea, one must learn how to generate a time-
independent isotropic ether flow in the opposite to 𝑢𝑢𝜑𝜑,0 direction and
place the test object in it completely.
The reduction of gravity due to creation of obstacles to the
Earth’s gravitational ether flow is discussed in sec. 23.10.2– 23.10.4.

23.10.2. Reducing of an electron weight in a vacuum tube,
surrounded by a superconductor, due to the
screening of the gravitational ether flow
534
At present, it is difficult to carry out a quantitative analysis of the
gravity weakening in the device [164], since the details of the inter-
action of the gravitational ether flow not only with SC, but also with
ordinary substances, have not yet been worked out.
Nevertheless, the result of [164] is quite explainable in the ether
theory at the qualitative level and has a clear interpretation.
In the simplest model of the etheric gravitational attraction, the
acceleration of free fall 𝑔𝑔 (179), and, consequently, the force of grav-
ity (180) decreases with a decrease in the characteristic speed of the
ether gravitational flow 𝑢𝑢𝜑𝜑,0 . Moreover, 𝑔𝑔 depends on 𝑢𝑢𝜑𝜑,0 quadrati-
cally, that is, quite strongly.
The velocity 𝑢𝑢𝜑𝜑,0 is parallel to the surface of the earth. The SC
solenoid is located vertically. Therefore, 𝑢𝑢𝜑𝜑,0 is perpendicular to its
surface. A SC with a metal base should have been used in the sole-
noid, since ceramic SC was discovered only 20 years after the publi-
cation of the paper [164]. From experiments it is known that the ideal
metallic conductor reflects the electromagnetic field (20), (21). There-
fore, it is natural to expect that it will noticeably weaken the constant
flow of the ether. As a result, the ether speed 𝑢𝑢𝜑𝜑,0 inside the tube de-
creases, which leads to a decrease in 𝑔𝑔 and consequently, to a decrease
in the electron weight.

much more advanced technologies than the current civilization.
We have no conditions for verifying the reliability of information
provided in the Internet. However, we can verify the fundamental pos-
sibility or impossibility of the described phenomena from the point of
view of the ether theory.
We give an excerpt from [www.moscowuniversityclub.ru/home.
asp?artId=15751] with the description of the properties of the powder.
"The whole story for D. Hudson began in 1976, when he, having
problems with the soil on his farm, began to add sulfuric acid there.
Studying soil samples that were not dissolved by this acid, he found
one substance with unusual properties. Dried under the hot sun of Ar-
izona, it could suddenly emit a bright flash of white light and com-
pletely disappear. With subsequent microscopic analysis in the labor-
atory, this substance was registered as "pure no-thing"!
After unsuccessful experiments at Cornell University, USA, a
sample of this substance was sent to the Harwell Laboratories in Ox-
ford, England, where, with the help of the Soviet Academy of Sci-
ences, it was determined that this mysterious luminous white sub-
stance completely consisted of metals of the platinum group in a un-
known to science form. (Gold dissolves in the "royal vodka", the com-
ponents of which can be in the soil. – Note of Authors.)
In the course of further studies, when this substance was regularly
heated and cooled, it turned out that as a result of this, its weight
changed.
It was also discovered that at a certain temperature the white sam-
ple disintegrated, turning into a monoatomic powder with the de-
crease in its weight by 56%.
Further heating to a temperature of 1160 Celsius degrees turned
the substance into a completely transparent glass, after which its
weight returned to its original value.
All this seemed impossible, but it was repeated again and again!
<…>
536
When scientists conducted cycles of heating and cooling this sub-
stance in the presence of inert gases, it turned out that when cooled,
the weight of the sample decreased by as much as 400%, and when
they heated it again, its weight became less than zero, that is, negative!
(Here, apparently, this is interpretation of reducing the weight of the
stand with the powder compared to the weight of the empty stand. –
Note of Authors.)
When they removed the sample from the stand where it lay, they
found that the latter began to weigh more than when there was a sam-
ple! <…>
This substance also turned out to be a natural superconductor
with a zero magnetic field, which has the ability to float in the air, as
well as accumulate in itself any amount of light or other energy <…>
In the early 1990s, articles on invisible atoms and superconductivity
began to appear regularly in the scientific press. Authoritative organiza-
tions such as the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, the National La-
boratory in Oak Ridge, USA, and others, all confirmed that the elements
opened by D. Hudson, definitely exist in a monoatomic state.
These elements include the gold and platinum group metals —
iridium, rhodium, palladium, platinum, osmium, and ruthenium."
From the standpoint of the ether theory, the gravity force can be
weakened for an object by reducing the speed of the ether (newtoni-
ans) gravitational flow around the Earth, see sec. 23.10.2. From anal-
ogy with a gas or liquid flow, it is natural to conclude that for this
purpose it is necessary to use the densest matter with a chaotic struc-
ture. Gold has a noticeably higher density compared to other ele-
ments. Besides, in a dense powder, domain currents can be formed
that entrain the powder after the ether flow in the same way as a mag-
net is carried in the magnetic flow of the ether, p. 272. Therefore, in
the chaotic monoatomic state, gold should more effectively than other
substances obstruct the flow of newtonians.
As the temperature increases, the weight of the monatomic powder
should decrease, since an increase in the thermal motion of the atoms
creates additional obstacles to the gravitational flow of the newtonians.
537
With the decrease in temperature, the flow of newtonians through
the powder is facilitated and even, perhaps, accelerated due to the im-
position of the ether’s own motion around atoms when they are ori-
ented in a certain direction. In this case, the generalized Zhukovsky
force (169) should increase, and, consequently, the weight of the pow-
der should also increase.
The increase in weight of the stand after removing the powder
from it can be explained by the property of a thin film left by the pow-
der to accelerate the gravitational flow of newtonians, for example,
due to the orientation of atoms in it in one direction.
Superconductivity is also explained by the difficult permeability
of the powder for the ether flow. When creating the ether pressures
difference (72), (73) the newtonians are easier to move along the outer
layer of the powder, where resistance to the flow is less than inside
the powder (see sec. 12.5 on this point).
The emission of a flash of light by the powder can be explained
by its ability to accumulate the energy of the ether flow being scat-
tered. The color and transparency of the powder are determined by
the peculiarities of the constituent atoms interaction with the light
range of the electromagnetic ether flow.
Thus, at first glance, the paradoxical properties of the monoa-
tomic powder from the platinum group of metals have a simple etheric
explanation.
Interest in gold and similar elements in the previous more ad-
vanced civilization, most likely, was associated with the solution of
the problem of effective motion in space due to the screening of the
Earth’s gravitational ether flow. The appropriate rather fine technol-
ogy was apparently lost due to natural or social disasters, but attention
to gold remained in the memory of descendants.
Note that rotation of the monoatomic powder should lead to in-
creased screening of gravity due to the decrease in the effective vol-
ume through which the newtonians pass unhindered.
538
23.10.4. Concept of a stand for experiments with gravity
539
by it during rotation (sec. 23.6.4) will also be helpful. Substances can
be placed in a thin-walled container of a non-magnetic metal to ensure
good ether flow through the walls of the container. It is interesting to
consider copper, ferromagnet, lead, gold, strong neodymium magnet,
low and high temperature superconductors, various crystals and fine
powders of the listed materials, as well as mercury, water, sand, gra-
phene, paper, plastics, etc. Preparation of gold nanoparticles is clearly
demonstrated, for example, in the film [https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=AnyocFbLsWM].
It is expected that the material with smaller, dense and chaotic
structure will interact stronger with the flow of newtonians (ether).

540
where 𝑛𝑛 = 𝑐𝑐/𝑢𝑢 is called the refractive index of the medium, 𝑣𝑣 is the
particle speed, 𝑢𝑢 is the speed of light in this medium, 𝑐𝑐 is the speed of
light in the vacuum.
For example, for the electron moving in benzole: 𝜗𝜗 = 38.5o , 𝑛𝑛 =
1.501. Substituting these values into (327), we obtain 𝑣𝑣 = 2.94 ∙
1010 [cm/s] for the electron velocity in benzole.
In the etheric understanding of nature, formula (327) is derived
for an object moving in the ether with the speed higher than the speed
of light by analogy with gas dynamics, see below.
In experiments on registration on the Earth's surface of broad at-
mospheric showers of cosmic rays consisting of protons and iron at-
oms, the following parameters were determined: cos 𝜗𝜗 = 0.95,
cos 𝜗𝜗 = 0.9 [202]. Hence, according to the formula (327), their
speeds are equal to
where 𝜌𝜌𝑎𝑎 , 𝜌𝜌𝑎𝑎,0 are air densities at a certain height and at sea level.
In the case of the experiment [202] 𝜌𝜌𝑎𝑎 /𝜌𝜌𝑎𝑎,0 = 1 and 𝑛𝑛 = 1 +
2.9 ∙ 10−4 , that is, the value of the speed of light 𝑢𝑢 = 𝑐𝑐/𝑛𝑛 in such a
medium practically does not change: 𝑢𝑢 ≈ 0.9997𝑐𝑐. Then from the
formulas (328) it follows that the speeds of particles are 10 − 15 %
higher than the speed of light: 𝑣𝑣 ≈ 1.05𝑐𝑐, 𝑣𝑣 ≈ 1.11𝑐𝑐.
Such a result refutes the hypothesis of the impossibility of ex-
ceeding the speed of light, adopted in modern physics. But it confirms
the theory of the ether, where the speed of the object, as in other me-
dia, can exceed the speed of free propagation of disturbances in the
ether – the speed of light.
541
Let us show now that when a particle moves in the ether, the for-
mula (327) remains the same. The compression of the medium cannot
propagate in front of the moving object, since under the considered
conditions the object moves faster than the light wave. Therefore, the
front of the generated wave is located behind the moving object. Each
point of the medium, which the body passed, can be considered as the
source of spherical waves propagating in this medium at the speed of
light, see fig. 26.
During the time ∆𝑡𝑡, the object moving with speed 𝑣𝑣 will move
from the point 𝑂𝑂1 to the point 𝐴𝐴. Therefore, 𝑂𝑂1 𝐴𝐴 = 𝑣𝑣∆𝑡𝑡. During this
time, the wave that emerged from the point 𝑂𝑂1 propagates over the
distance 𝑂𝑂1 𝐵𝐵1 = 𝑢𝑢∆𝑡𝑡, where 𝑢𝑢 is the speed of light in this medium.
From the triangle 𝑂𝑂1 𝐵𝐵1 𝐴𝐴 we get
𝑂𝑂1 𝐵𝐵1 𝑢𝑢
cos 𝜗𝜗 = = .
𝑂𝑂1 𝐴𝐴 𝑣𝑣
542
The cos 𝜗𝜗 value obtained for the ether coincides with the value given
in the formula (327).
The envelope of all secondary waves is the conical surface
𝐷𝐷1 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴1 , see fig. 26. This surface is the shock wave front.
In gas dynamics [9], when considering supersonic waves, the an-
gle at the top of the cone 𝐷𝐷1 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴1 is called the angle at the top of the
Mach cone. The magnitude of the Mach cone in gas-dynamic experi-
ments characterizes supersonic flows. In [81, p. 68; 204, p. 136] using
a similar approach, it was concluded that superlight particles could be
observed in experiments [205, 206], but the absence in [205, 206] of
the data on wave emission angles did not allow to explicitly estimate
the speed of the particles.
The conclusion about the observation of superlight particles, in
addition to the fundamental methodological value, has practical im-
portance. In high-energy physics, it is usually assumed that the parti-
cle mass is equal to the expression 𝑚𝑚 = 𝐸𝐸/𝑐𝑐 2, where 𝐸𝐸 is its energy.
It assumes that the speed of light in the vacuum 𝑐𝑐 is the world constant
and uniquely determines the mass of a particle. But if in the process
of motion a particle in the ether acquires speed 𝑣𝑣, greater than the
speed 𝑐𝑐 of free propagation of disturbances in it, then the expression
𝑚𝑚 = 𝐸𝐸/𝑐𝑐 2 becomes 𝑚𝑚 = 𝐸𝐸/𝑣𝑣 2 and ceases to uniquely determine the
mass 𝑚𝑚. In this case, in order to uniquely determine the particle mass,
additional measurements of the particle momentum and the radiation
angle of the waves are needed. Thus, the values of all known masses
of superheavy particles require rechecking in the appropriate addi-
tional experiments. Most likely, the masses will be refined.

Anomalous orbital dynamics exhibited by Explorer I was ob-
served already on its first orbit. It had an orbital period ~9 minutes
longer than predicted and its perigee and apogee heights were 360
and 2534 [km] instead of 224 and 1575 [km] planned. Similar anom-
alies were observed in the orbits of satellites Explorer III and IV, and
three Vanguard satellites.
Calculations of R.C. Hoagland showed that 959 [km] excess in
Explorer I orbit apogee cannot be explained by greater efficiency of
the multi-staged solid-fueled components of the Jupiter-C launch ve-
hicle, since it would require 20% increase in the speed for all the up-
per stages of the rocket.
Analysis of historical and engineering facts of rocket technology
development in the USA and the USSR allowed R.C. Hoagland to draw
a conclusion that the cause of orbit deviation were rotating parts of the
Jupiter-C rocket. He then referred to Bruce de Palma experiments with
rotating bodies and proposed qualitative interpretation of the orbit
anomalies with the help of the torsion field concept and addition of free
energy from the hyperdimensional space to the rotating object and
chemical reactions.
Here we present a different interpretation proposed by F.S. Zaitsev
using the theory of the ether. We obtain quantitative estimate and com-
pare it with the shift of the Explorer I orbit.
The rocket had the rotating tub-shaped assembly (tub) containing
stages 2 and 3. The rotation was used to compensate the thrust imbal-
ance of the individual fuel cells combustion in these stages. The fourth
stage had one cell.
544
The linear velocity of the tub rotation is given by 𝐕𝐕 = 𝛚𝛚 × 𝐫𝐫, were
𝛚𝛚 is the angular velocity and 𝐫𝐫 is the radius vector in the plane perpen-
dicular to the rocket axis. As shown in sec. 23.3, the ether rotational
linear velocity in the tub is close to 𝐕𝐕.
The rocket moves in the ether flow near the Earth. This flow in-
cludes the gravitational flow and other types of flows, see fig. 32. De-
note the total velocity of the ether flow near the Earth with 𝐮𝐮.
Therefore, there is an interaction of two ether flows: the external
to the tub velocity 𝐮𝐮 is driven in the volume of the tub, where the ether
flow has velocity 𝐕𝐕. This gives rise to the generalized Zhukovsky force
in the volume element 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 of the ether in the tub (121)

Weights of loaded and empty stages and trajectory timing are

The tub was set rotating before the start. But we will consider the
orbit from the time 𝑡𝑡1 of the first stage separation, since due to the very
large initial mass of the first stage m1 and relatively small 𝑡𝑡1 (see data
below) the displacement of the rocket with 𝐅𝐅𝐮𝐮 was not large before 𝑡𝑡1 .
The tub, containing the stages 2 and 3, was present in the rocket
until time 𝑡𝑡23 for Δ𝑡𝑡23 = 𝑡𝑡23 − 𝑡𝑡1 seconds after the first stage has gone.
The rocket mass change in 𝑡𝑡1 < 𝑡𝑡 ≤ 𝑡𝑡23 of duration Δ𝑡𝑡23 ≈
260 [s] was on a small compared to Δ𝑡𝑡23 interval of 13 [s] near 𝑡𝑡23
when stages 2 and 3 were burning. Therefore, during time interval 𝑡𝑡1 <
𝑡𝑡 < 𝑡𝑡23 the rocket mass can be considered close to constant m23 +
𝑚𝑚4 + 𝑚𝑚𝑠𝑠 , where m23 , 𝑚𝑚4 and 𝑚𝑚𝑠𝑠 are masses of stages 2 and 3, 4 and
satellite appropriately.
Thus, we have
𝑑𝑑Δ𝐯𝐯3 (𝑡𝑡)
(m23 + 𝑚𝑚4 + 𝑚𝑚𝑠𝑠 ) = 𝐅𝐅𝐮𝐮 .

The solution of this equation on the segment 𝑡𝑡 ∈ [𝑡𝑡1 , 𝑡𝑡23 ] with the

Finally, the satellite of mass 𝑚𝑚𝑠𝑠 reached the apogee at time 𝑡𝑡𝑎𝑎 .
During the time 𝑡𝑡 ∈ (𝑡𝑡4 , 𝑡𝑡𝑎𝑎 ], it shifted on Δ𝐫𝐫5 (𝑡𝑡𝑎𝑎 ):

Jupiter-C loaded components and parameters of the rotating tub were:
m1 ≈ 28400, m23 ≈ 590, m4 ≈ 36, ms ≈ 14 [kg], frequency
𝑛𝑛 ~ 600 [rpm] or the angular speed |𝛚𝛚| = 2π𝑛𝑛/60 ~ 62.8 [rad/s],
the angular velocity vector 𝛚𝛚 along the rocket motion, tub radius
0.44 [m] and height ℎ ≈ 1.03 [m].
The tub rotation began before the launch, so there was enough time
for the ether vortex to be established. Bruce de Palma’s and our exper-
iments suggest to take 𝑟𝑟min ~ 0 for the inner radius of the ether vortex,
since it can be observed not just in the body of a solid rotating object,
but also outside it. The outer radius of the ether vortex 𝑟𝑟max is estimated
approximately by the radius of the tub, since it is not clear how much
it could go beyond the tub while the rocket motion.
The velocity of the external ether flow 𝐮𝐮 through the tub can be
formed by the combination of ether flows of various types. Note, that
among them, the gravitational ether flow acts on the rotating object in
two ways: determines its weight interacting with the atomic structures,
and pushes aside interacting with the ether vortex created by rotation.
During the time 𝑡𝑡 ∈ [𝑡𝑡1 , 𝑡𝑡23 ), when the force 𝐅𝐅𝐮𝐮 acted, the rocket
was gaining the altitude. The direction of the ether velocity 𝐮𝐮 at high
altitudes has not yet been studied. Therefore, we will have to make an
assumption about its direction. We assume that the vector 𝐮𝐮 provided
the appearance in the Zhukovsky force 𝐅𝐅𝐮𝐮 ~ 𝐮𝐮 × 𝛚𝛚 of a component
directed away from the Earth, see fig. 27. The displacements Δ𝐫𝐫3, Δ𝐫𝐫4
and Δ𝐫𝐫5 had components in the same direction, since they are propor-
tional to 𝐅𝐅𝐮𝐮 .
For the approximate value of the velocity 𝐮𝐮, we take the speed of
the gravitational ether flow (287).
Finally, substituting all values in the obtained formulas, we find
550
It can be seen that the value of the force 𝐅𝐅𝐮𝐮 creates a noticeable on
a cosmic scale trajectory deviation only over a large interval of time.
This indicates the reasonableness of the assumptions made.
In addition to the shift towards space caused by the force 𝐅𝐅𝐮𝐮 , the
orbit also widened due to the weakening of the gravity force with in-
creasing distance from the Earth. Besides, there are studies, for exam-
ple by G.I. Shipov, showing that a rotating object loses weight.
Accounting for all these effects, we can conclude that the etheric
interpretation presented is consistent in order of magnitude with the
observed satellite deviation of ~1000 [km] from the expected apogee
position.
This result allows us to suggest some important conclusions:
1. Another confirmation of the existence of the ether flow near
the Earth with the velocity value given by (287) is obtained.
2. The prediction in space of the rotating object trajectory in the
presence of the external ether flow requires taking into account
the generalized Zhukovsky force.
3. The ether flow near the Earth can be studied by launching a pair
of simple identical rockets with a capable to rotate component.
This component must not come into contact with the air flowing
near the rocket to avoid the Magnus effect. In one rocket the
component must remain stationary, and in the other rotating at
high speed, but only on some part of the trajectory. The differ-
ence in the trajectories will allow to evaluate the ether flow ve-
locity in the part of the trajectory where the component was ro-
tating. As a result, a correspondence will be established be-
tween the ether velocity and the height above the Earth.
A more accurate examination of the orbital anomalies would re-
quire knowledge of the exact information about the ether flow through
which the rotating tub passed and about the design of the Jupiter-C
rocket, in particular, its gyroscopes and other rotating equipment, as
well as knowledge of the details of the rocket's motion and the model
used to calculate its trajectory.
551
At present, a more realistic way to analyze accurately the effect
of the generalized Zhukovsky force on a rotating object motion
through the ether flow in space is performing the experiment proposed
in item 3 above.
552
An object in the ether can be much more stable than in the air,
since the effects of viscosity, self-diffusion and thermal conductivity
in the ether are extremely small compared to similar effects in matter,
see secs. 21.6–21.8. Additional stability of the vortex formation ap-
pears when the speed of light is reached at its boundary, as in ball
lightning, see sec. 24.3. Moreover, if there is entanglement in the vor-
tex object, for example, entanglement of toruses, then additional en-
ergy is required for this object destruction due to the law of engage-
ments number conservation [17, sec. 3.12]. Additional impact is also
required to change other vortex invariants, for example, rotational
momentum and helicity [17, secs. 3.5 and 3.12].
Thus, a stable vortex object with a complex shape different from
the sphere can be formed in the ether near the TB. This object can
rotate as a whole initially or acquire such rotation during interaction
with matter.
Consider the energy of the strange radiation carrier.
In the presentation [255] the energy, expended by the strange ra-
diation carrier to create a typical track on a CD disk, was calculated
on the basis of experimental data, see slides 37, 38:
553
𝑄𝑄0 ~ 7.5 ⋅ 10−3 [J],
554
Understanding the carrier of strange radiation as a vortex in the
ether allows us to explain the penetration ability observed in the ex-
periment, the unusual tracks and their appearance long after the end
of the experiment.
Accordance with the ball lightning suggests that most of the en-
ergy of the strange radiation carrier is stored in the rotation of the
etheric vortex, but not in its translational motion.
Formation of tracks can be explained by interaction of the ether vor-
tex, which possesses high energy, with the structural elements of matter.
The complicated shape of tracks can appear, for example, at a relatively
low speed of the vortex translational motion. In this case, interacting with
an obstacle, the vortex can sharply change the direction of motion, simi-
lar to the reflection of a rotating body from an obstacle. The unusual ap-
pearance of the tracks can also be related to rotation of the vortex as a
whole and its shape different from a sphere.
The ability of a ball lightning type object, at the boundary of which
the speed of light is reached, to pass through barriers of tangible matter,
see property (f), is explained on p. 565. Therefore, a vortex etheric ob-
ject can penetrate into the substance before interacting with it. This re-
veals the reason for observation of the tracks from the strange radiation
inside the substance.
Registration of strange radiation after the end of the working sub-
stance excitation in the reactor can be associated with the continuation
of LTN reactions in TBs and/or the long-term existence near the in-
stallation of the etheric vortex objects with a low speed of transla-
tional motion.
The spontaneity of the strange radiation intensity over a long pe-
riod of time (many hours and days), see presentation [256], can be
caused by the imposition of many factors, including random ones: the
avalanche-like process of TBs activation, the destruction of some
TBs, the formation of new TBs, and a variety of external conditions.
V.A. Zhigalov showed experimentally in [256] the possibility of
protection against strange radiation using a magnetic field. The
555
etheric interpretation of the strange radiation not only explains its de-
viation in the magnetic field but also allows quantifying this effect,
see sec. 11.2.
The possibility of a clear interpretation and quantitative descrip-
tion of the phenomena observed in the experiment serves in the meth-
odology of mathematical modeling as one of the confirmations of the
correctness of the strange radiation carrier model as a vortex object in
the ether.
556
The lack of satisfactory explanations of the BL nature requires a
revision of the original premises. Apparently, the time has come to
reject hypotheses and models that for many years did not lead to suc-
cess in its understanding. These include:
• building of the BL model in the form of a homogeneous sys-
tem stabilized by the atmospheric pressure;
• proximity of the average density of BL to air density;
• electroneutrality of BL;
• BL glowing with thermal radiation of a heated body.
In our opinion, the model of BL must first of all explain the entire
set of observed unique properties of this object, an unbiased descrip-
tion of which can be found in [211]:
(a) the possession of an anomalously high energy density of the
order of 1010 [J/m3 ] and higher;
(b) appearance in the clouds and above the ground in the absence
of thunderstorm activity as if from "nothing";
(c) typical diameter up to several meters, the transformation of
the ball into a tape, folding the tape into a sphere;
(d) glow of different colors and shades, sometimes in the form of
needles or jets;
(e) electrostatic effects, in some cases – magnetic, carrying away
of bodies, the smell of ozone;
(f) the ability to pass, without leaving of visible traces, through
the glass at its size comparable to the size of the BL, as well
as through other bodies;
(g) in some cases, a knock when hitting a solid body;
(h) a relatively short lifetime, usually several minutes;
(i) an explosion with a clap, often with devastating conse-
quences;
(j) the disappearance of metallic jewelry near the BL with the ap-
pearance of usually only a relatively small burn on the body.
(k) leakage in various forms from the electrical outlet.
557
It is clear that understanding of the BL nature and mastering of
the technology of its artificial creation is in all respects an extremely
attractive area of research.
However, modern physics, abandoning the concept of medium
(ether), comes to a standstill in the interpretation of these properties.
This even leads to the denial of the existence of the BL phenomenon
itself, that is, to the denial of the objectivity of its observation in na-
ture. Such a situation, as we have repeatedly seen in this book, is a
sign of the essential role of the ether motion in the phenomenon under
consideration.
Before turning to the etheric model of the BL, let's stop at the
review of numerous studies of the late XX – early XXI century,
which, unfortunately, did not end with the full understanding of the
BL phenomenon and its artificial reproduction with the exception of
three unique experiments, see sec. 24.4.
The first international Symposium on BL was held in July 1988
in Japan. It was initiated on the wave, as was considered at that time,
of the success of Japanese scientists in the BL creation in the form of
a high-frequency discharge in the air [212]. However, as it turned out
later, studies [212] did not lead to the reproduction of BL.
In the 1990s, a jet of erosive plasma was put forward as a candi-
date for the role of a laboratory BL analog [213]. However, its prop-
erties were far from the properties of natural BL, and gradually the
studies of erosive discharges in the context of BL have disappeared.
The idea of the BL with a chemical energy source [214] stimu-
lated development of its model based on the solid-phase reagents ox-
idation [215, 216]. But experimental and theoretical studies of this
model also showed its inadequacy to the natural BL.
An interesting finding seemed to be the creation of vortex plas-
moids in an electric discharge above the surface of the water – the so-
558
called "Gatchina discharge" [217, 218]. However, it turned out that
such plasmoids also do not reproduce the properties of BL.
It is also possible to note the representation of the BL in the form
of an electric discharge near the glass of an airplane cabin [219] or a
plasma bubble filled with high-frequency radiation [220]. However,
such models did not explain all the properties of BL.
In the recent paper [221], attention was focused on explaining the
properties of high-energy BL with an energy reserve of 5 ∙ 109 − 5 ∙
1010 [J/m3 ]. In one of the models proposed in this regard, it is as-
sumed that the space inside the shell of the BL is filled with certain
"plasmoids" with an uncompensated electric charge. By "plasmoid"
is usually meant a system of moving charges held by its own electric
and magnetic fields. The prototype of the plasmoid model was a hy-
dromagnetic plasma capacitor, invented in the 1950s. This concept is
called the "electrodynamic model of BL" [222].
In [210, 223], the so-called chemical-thermal model of BL is pro-
posed. In it, the BL is represented by a unipolarly charged object with
a shell and a core. The core consists of water vapor or a mixture of
vapor and particles of an atomized substance (SiO2 , Al2 O3 , etc.) that
appear when a linear lightning strikes various materials or as a result
of a tectonic disturbance. The shell is a thin film of melt or solidified
substance. In this model, it is assumed that the charge is transferred
to the BL from the linear lightning, and the stability of the BL to Cou-
lomb destruction is provided by the polarization force considered by
A.I. Nikitin [210, 223]. The energy of such a BL is mainly determined
by the energy of vaporization released during the destruction of the
BL and to a lesser extent during the burning of its substance.
Despite the advanced features of electrodynamic and chemical-
thermal models of BL, they hardly explain the passage of BL through
glasses, even if there are millimeter and submillimeter holes in the
latter [224], as well as the appearance of BL in the absence of thun-
derstorm activity.
559
Nevertheless, at present it would be reasonable not to drop
plasma and heterogeneous models of BL, but to develop these models
in parallel with the ether model of BL, since different luminous ob-
jects attributed by observers to BL can have a different nature.
560
the simplest quantitative estimates, let us represent the BL in the form of
the ether flow rotating with the angular speed 𝜔𝜔 around the 𝑧𝑧 axis of
Cartesian coordinates with the origin in the center of the BL, see fig. 28.

flow occurs between the cloud and the earth (or another cloud) due to
the difference in the ether pressure (potential) on them. The ether
pressure gradient is the electric field (72), which accelerates foremost
electrons existing in the atmosphere as lighter charged particles. Ac-
celerated electrons ionize atoms and molecules along the entire ether
flow. An avalanche of electrons arises, a spark gas discharge occurs.
Properties (b), (c) in the ether model of BL are explained by the
emergence of conditions for the transformation of a straight-line ether
flow into a large-scale vortex. Such conditions can appear not only
when a stream of the ether strikes a solid body, but also, for example,
when oppositely directed ether flows meet.
A more or less stable etheric vortex forms when the speed of light
is reached at its boundary (as in a gas – the speed of sound) and the
difficult permeable boundary layer is formed. The shape of the bound-
ary layer is determined by the initial conditions of the ether twist.
Herewith, as already noted above, the substance trapped in the ether
vortex is separated onto the vortex boundary (by analogy with a cen-
trifuge), forming a shell. Just like in a gas discharge, the ether moving
at the speed of light excites atoms and molecules in the boundary
layer. Radiation appears. Its color (d) depends on the composition of
the substance captured by the ether vortex. Luminescence of the main
components of the air gives a bluish color, and organic aerosols – or-
ange and yellow.
Thus, the mechanism of BL luminescence is similar to the glow
of a gas discharge, and not of a heated body.
The boundary layer of the BL is only partially impermeable to
newtonians and substance, since in some of its places the ether speed
can be smaller than the speed of light due to local disturbances asso-
ciated, for example, with the motion of the ether around atoms and
molecules, and also with the processes of ionization and recombina-
tion of particles. Nozzles appear through which the ether flow goes
beyond the boundary layer. The ether flow in the radial direction can
564
excite atoms and molecules and lead to the glow in the form of needles
and jets (d).
In the etheric interpretation of electrostatics, sec. 18.13, the accel-
eration of the ether flow in the radial direction beyond the boundary of
the BL (compared to the inner region) makes it a negatively charged
object. This causes the electrostatic properties of BL (e), and when it
moves – magnetic. The entrainment of bodies, including heavy ones,
is due to the "reliance" of the BL on the ether, not on the air.
It is important to emphasize that the etheric interpretation of the
object's charge does not require an obligatory excess of negatively or
positively charged particles in it (see sec. 18.13). Therefore, the sub-
stance in the BL may be in the non-ionized state or the number of
positive and negatively charged particles in it may be the same. In this
regard, and also because of the ether boundary layer presence, the
question of retaining an excess number of charged particles of the
same sign in a limited volume, which some BL models encounter, is
not relevant in this approach.
The most surprising property of the BL is the ability to pass
through solid objects (f), leaving almost no visible traces. In the
etheric interpretation of BL, this property is quite natural. The sub-
stance in the boundary layer of the BL may not have a high tempera-
ture. It leaves this layer at the touch point of the object by BL. De-
structions (melting, holes, etc.) on an object remain only at a high
temperature of the substance in the boundary layer. Due to the ex-
tremely small size of the newtonians and the relatively large scale of
their flow in the BL (as compared to the flow of the ether in an electric
or magnetic field), the ether vortex, as has been repeatedly discussed
in the book, can almost freely penetrate the object. At the exit from
the object, the boundary layer is restored from a substance that enters
the ether vortex. It seems that the substance of the BL passes through
the object. In fact, not a substance, but an etheric vortex of the BL
passes through the object. The existence of vortices in the air (phan-
toms), capable of penetrating through the body, was proved in the ex-
periments of sec. 23.6.4.
565
The charge available to the BL explains its preference for inter-
action with glass. Glass is polarized in the electric field of a charged
object and attracts it to itself.
The emergence of a knock at the impact of the BL with a solid
body (g) depends on the composition and amount of the substance
that has entered the boundary layer.
The lifetime of the BL (h) is determined by the processes leading to
a decrease in the speed of the ether in the boundary layer. The main of
them, apparently, is the runoff of the ether from the BL through the noz-
zles in the boundary layer, since the BL lifetime is appropriate to the time
of neutralization of the object charge by the air background charges.
The explosion of BL with the clap (i) can be associated with the
instantaneous destruction of the boundary layer. Its negative conse-
quences are related to the appearance of a strong shock wave in the
air, including at the sharp filling of the vacuum inside the BL.
The speed of the BL motion can be due to the electric field acting
on it. For example, defined by the speed of a charged cloud motion,
which is usually 5 − 10 [m/s]. At the same time there are no re-
strictions on the BL location height.
The facts of the ring-shaped metal jewelry disappearance (j) can
be explained by the induction of a strong electric current in them when
the BL approaching, since the BL can have a very large electrical
charge depending on the intensity of the ether flow through the noz-
zles in the boundary layer. The absence of a severe burn on the skin
is most likely due to its defensive reaction, in which the liquid evap-
orates almost instantaneously, cooling the contact area.
Emergence of BL from the socket (k) is due to the fact that it is
difficult to keep the current (the ether vortex with the rotor of the ro-
tor) in the wire at a high ether pressure (potential), which is formed
when lightning strikes the power line. It is easier for the vortex to exit
through the stripped contacts of the outlet.
The considered ether mechanism of BL explains the appearance of
BL in nature during a thunderstorm. Often, BL appears when the linear
566
lightning strikes the ground. It can be assumed that a vortex ether mo-
tion is involved in the creation of the linear lightning channel. First, a
flow of the ether appears (as in a gas, sec. 23.9.1), which ionizes atoms
and molecules in the linear lightning channel. When the ether flow in-
teracts with the earth, its reflection occurs with the creation of a region
in which the closed ether flow is formed, perceived as BL.
Thunderstorm activity and the observation of BL are often ac-
companied by the appearance of holes in the ground with a diameter
from ten centimeters to several meters and a depth of up to several
meters [226, 227]. In the vortex model of the BL, such phenomena
are quite natural as a result of the interaction of the swirling ether flow
and the earth matter. At that, the relatively insignificant increase in
the density of the soil outside the hole is explained by the small vol-
ume of the central part of the cylindrical figure (hole) compared to the
peripheral one.
The performed analysis shows that the etheric model of the BL
allows one to explain almost all of its unique properties, and without
complicated theoretical constructions. The BL characteristics, ob-
tained from the model, are close to those observed. Thus, in the meth-
odology of mathematical modeling, the proposed BL model can be
accepted as adequate to the real phenomenon.
567
N. Tesla claimed that he learned to reproduce the BL in experi-
ments with high-frequency discharges [228]. We present some ex-
tracts from his work by publications [229, 230] in translation [214].
"I managed to define its (ball lightning) structure and get it arti-
ficially.
… the interaction of two frequencies manifests itself in the form
of the ball lightning, when a high-frequency wave shifting in phase is
superimposed in phase with the low-frequency oscillations of the
main circuit …
This condition works as a trigger mechanism for discharging a
powerful low-frequency wave in an infinitely small time interval,
when most of the energy cannot remain in the device itself, but is
splashed out into space with an extraordinary force.
Exploring how high-frequency current can explosively discharge
a low-frequency current is a step towards designing systems where
these explosions are intentional".
The authors of [229, 230] reproduced the installation of N. Tesla
in a reduced size, see fig. 29.
In [229, 230] they describe reproduction of the BL as:
"Tiny dots of light appeared as if from nowhere. Then several
lights floating in the air came under the blows of high-voltage dis-
charges emitted by the pole of the secondary coil. And suddenly we
saw a lot of lightning balls with a diameter of up to several centime-
ters, which "were born" inside the discharges emitted by the coils …
and existed, as a rule, from one and a half to several seconds …
A wide range of colors was presented, similar to what happens
when using pyrotechnic devices.
The cessation of the existence of some light balls was accompa-
nied by a loud bang, while others just quietly faded away …
The balls were pulsating. If they were hit by the discharge current
from the transformer, they increased in size, and then again com-
pressed. This usually happened many times before the balls faded out.
Once the diameter of the ball within a second increased from 6 mm to
568
5 cm and at the same time acquired a fiery red color. Some balls
looked like cans: bright circles with a dark center. The balls had dif-
ferent colors – dense-red, bright white, green, yellow, white-blue, pur-
ple. Often they rotated, and dark areas moved along them, like spots
on the sun. Sometimes the balls looked transparent, and electric dis-
charges flashed inside them. Several times we observed how the balls
change color during their existence, and at the end explode like su-
pernovae.
569
The most effective results were obtained under the following con-
ditions. 1. Generation of a large number of carbon or evaporated metal
particles in a small region of space. 2. The creation of large electric
fields of the order of 20 − 40 [kV/cm] near the objects. 3. The rapid
rise in the temperature of the particles.
The authors [229, 230] explained the formation of balls using the
theory of fractal clusters [214]. However, the condensation and re-
combination of atomic particles with increasing temperature slow
down, and the growth of clusters of evaporated particles becomes dif-
ficult. So the theory of fractal clusters is hardly suitable for explaining
this experiment.
In [229, 230], a unique series of photographs is presented show-
ing the process of the obtained ball penetration through the window
glass – an analogue of a phenomenon that is often observed when a
BL moves in natural conditions. In [229, 230], this effect is explained
in the assumption that the resulting balls are aerosol particles. The
passage of the ball through the glass is interpreted as their death from
one side of the glass and restoration in a strong field on the other side
of the glass. However, this interpretation is very doubtful, since the
passage of small elements of the ball through the glass must be ac-
companied by the formation of a through hole [224]. Besides, the pho-
tographs of the frontal face of the glass show that the ball passes in-
side the glass without changing its size.
The experiment [229, 230] was repeated in [231]. As in [229, 230],
the formation of luminous objects was observed, but experiments on
the study of their passage through the glass were not carried out.
It should be noted that, in contrast to many attempts of the artificial
reproduction of BL, the experiments of Tesla, Corums and Kopeikin
used resonance phenomena. Electric currents were created in narrow
channels in the region of strong high-frequency electric and magnetic
fields. The combination of all these factors could lead to the formation
of vortex ether structures with a high speed of the ether in them.
570
Consider the flow of ether in the construction shown in fig. 29.
In operation the vertical coils of such a circuit create high alternating
voltage. In the air between the dischargers, breakdown and alternating
electric current occur, which in the ether representation is the flow of
the ether with velocity 𝐕𝐕. The electron velocity during avalanche ion-
ization is about 0.1𝑐𝑐 − 0.3𝑐𝑐 [185]. Therefore, the ether velocity 𝐕𝐕,
which accelerates electrons, must be of the speed of light order, which
is just necessary to create the boundary layer. Coils and a contour with
a small number of turns parallel to the surface of the Earth create a
magnetic field 𝐁𝐁 in the vertical direction. When it is superimposed on
the ether flow velocity 𝐕𝐕, the generalized Zhukovsky force (121)
arises between the dischargers, the 𝐕𝐕 × 𝐁𝐁 component of which twists
the ether in the region of the current flow. An ethereal vortex appears.
It is possible that the parameters of the scheme components in
fig. 29 were selected in experiments so that a longitudinal standing
wave of the ether with still or slow-moving nodes was created be-
tween the dischargers. In such a wave, a region is naturally distin-
guished, for example, in the form of a can between two nodes of
speed. When spinning the ether in this area by applying a magnetic
field 𝐁𝐁 of a certain frequency, a cycled vortex ether motion is formed,
generating the BL. Several areas between the nodes form a lightning
with the bead structure.
Thus, in accordance with the ether model of the BL, it was pre-
cisely BL that could be reproduced in the experiments of Tesla,
Corums and Kopeikin.
The resonant influence of an external electromagnetic field (see
sec. 11.2) on the region between two nodes of the longitudinal stand-
ing wave of the ether allows pumping significant energy into this re-
gion by increasing the amplitude of oscillations of the ether velocity
in it. It is possible that such a mechanism at the macro or micro level
underlies many anomalous, in terms of conventional physics, phe-
nomena observed in electrical devices, including low-temperature
571
transformation of nuclides (LENR), which reveals itself in the for-
mation of isotopes and chemical elements that were initially absent in
the system, see [lenr.seplm.ru].
By analogy with the Chladni figures (see, for example: [en.wik-
ipedia.org]), visualizing the interaction of standing waves with fine
sand, the formation of strata during the explosion of wires, see p. 235,
as well as strata and domains in the glow discharge [185, p. 439, 442,
sec. 12.1.3, 13.7, 13.5.4] can be explained by the interaction of stand-
ing waves in the ether with matter.
In physics, the emergence of strata in the explosion of a wire has
no explanation, see the reference at p. 235. The appearance of strata
in the glow discharge is interpreted as alternation of areas in which
electrons are predominantly born and predominantly die [185, sec.
13.7.2], but explaining the reasons of such areas occurrence causes
great difficulties [185, sec. 13.7.8].
In conclusion, we draw attention to N. Tesla opinion about the
propagation of electromagnetic waves precisely as longitudinal waves
in some medium. The book [232, p. 135] provides quotes from his
interviews with journalists. N. Tesla explained to G. Hertz that it
would be better to call electromagnetic waves "electric sound waves
or sound waves of electrified air". "When Dr. Heinrich Hertz con-
ducted his experiments from 1887 to 1889, his goal was to demon-
strate the theory that the medium that fills all space, called the ether,
does not possess structure, is very thin, but at the same time extremely
durable. He achieved certain results, and the whole world recognized
them as a reliable confirmation of this all-favorite theory, but in real-
ity his observations turned out to be erroneous.
Many years before that I had established that such a media could
not exist, and that the whole space is filled with gaseous substance.
Repeating the experiments of Hertz with advanced and very powerful
equipment, I made sure that he observed nothing but the effect of lon-
gitudinal waves in the gaseous medium, that is, the waves propagated
through compression and expansion. These waves resembled sound
572
waves in the air, rather than transverse electromagnetic waves, as was
commonly assumed".
Studies in our book theoretically confirm the experimental results
of N. Tesla. Longitudinal waves exist in the ether, see sec. 4, as in
other compressible media. It is clear that the description of the ether
medium in terms of the convective derivative 𝐄𝐄 (21) and the rotor 𝐁𝐁
(20) causes enormous difficulties in interpreting the processes occur-
ring in it.
In this section, a model of the structure of the Earth and its sur-
roundings is proposed. The model is based on the understanding of all
processes in nature as the ether motion. The directions of the global
motion of the ether and substance are considered. The possibility and
general conditions for the formation of chemical elements and their
compounds are discussed.
The analysis presented here was carried out jointly with a spe-
cialist in geophysics, Ph.D. in geological and mineralogical sciences
V.I. Sharov, and also with the participation of Ph.D. in technical sci-
ences V.A. Chizhov.
Before proceeding to the presentation of the Earth’s etheric
model, we recall the basic information about its global structure.
The Earth consists of the dense part and the atmosphere surround-
ing it, see fig. 30.
The composition and structure of the atmosphere are studied in
much more detail than the dense part of the Earth, since there is direct
access to almost any point of the atmosphere. Here we will focus on
the properties of the dense part of the Earth.
The internal structure of the Earth is described by models that
characterize changes with increasing depth of density, pressure, grav-
itational acceleration, seismic waves velocity and other parameters.
Classic models are spherically symmetrical. The difference in the
573
structure of the Earth under the oceans and continents at the depth of
420 [km]is taken into account in the oceanic and continental models.
The average model is their combination. For greater depths such a
separation is not carried out.
We consider the model from [121, ch. 44] as a model of the in-
ternal material structure of the Earth. At the initial stage of the global
ether analysis, it is sufficient to take the average classical model of
the Earth [121, table. 44.1].
The set of methods for studying the global structure of the Earth
is quite limited. At present, direct methods for its study using drilling
are possible only to the depth of ~12 [km], which the Kol’skaya su-
perdeep well has [233, 234]. At the depth of 10 − 12 [km], serious
problems with the passage of rock formations begin, apparently con-
nected with the destruction of the drill. Measuring the acceleration of
free fall in the mine gives too approximate results [26, p. 346]. The
574
internal structure of the Earth at a great depth is estimated by the
known mass and the moment of inertia of the globe, and on the basis
of the elastic waves study.
Analysis of the propagation of longitudinal and transverse elastic
waves, arising from earthquakes or artificially created, is one of the
main methods for obtaining information about the internal structure of
the Earth. The state close to the liquid transmits only the longitudinal
waves as a result of a change in volume. The boundaries between the
states refract longitudinal waves and poorly transmit transverse waves.
The study of wave propagation shows that the Earth has a layered
structure in the form of spherical rings nested in each other. The sub-
stance in the rings is in solid and close to liquid states.
575
divide the globe into three main zones: the crust, the mantle and the
core, see fig. 31. The core has the greatest rigidity, the mantle is char-
acterized by high viscosity, and the core is in a state close to liquid.
Within the three main zones of the Earth there are less clearly defined
boundaries, fig. 31.
Also, the solid shell of the Earth is distinguished – the litho-
sphere, consisting of the Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle
to the asthenosphere (fig. 31), where the speed of seismic waves de-
creases, indicating an increase in the plasticity of rocks.
The mass of the core in percent is 0.3259, of the mantle is
0.6697, of the crust is 0.435 ∙ 10−2 , of the oceans is 0.23 ∙ 10−3 , of
the atmosphere is 0.854 ∙ 10−6 [121, p. 1180]. That is, the main mass
of the Earth is in the mantle and the core.
The table below shows the data from [121, table. 44.1] on density
and pressure inside the Earth. It is interesting to note that density does
not change as much as the pressure. Abrupt changes in density with
depth are possible, caused by differences in the composition of rocks
and their phase state.

The most amazing properties of the Earth are the growth of its
radius and the self-renewal of exhausted fields of minerals. The con-
clusion about the growth of the Earth size was established on the basis
of the experimental facts analysis [235]. The issues of long-term high
recoil of deposits and recovery of depleted fields are actively dis-
cussed among geologists and geophysicists.
Modern physics has difficulties in explanation of these phenom-
ena. Understanding of nature as the ether (newtonians) motion allows
one to construct a simple and illustrative model of the processes oc-
curring in the Earth.
According to the etheric concepts, the Earth rotates in a powerful
external gravitational flow of the ether. Its properties and the proper-
ties of material objects falling into it are considered in sec. 15.2, 16.2,
17.2, 22.2. Structural elements of the Earth's substance create their
own gravitational flow, which is superimposed on the external flow.
The study of the ratio of the velocities of these flows requires addi-
tional research. The angular velocity of rotation of the total gravita-
tional flow may be non-uniform in space, since the neighboring layers
of the ether flow weakly interact due to its low viscosity and self-
diffusion (sec. 21.7, 21.8).
In favor of the etheric basis of the Earth structure is the correspond-
ence between the real shape of the Earth and the theoretically calculated
in the etheric gravity force, proportional to 1/𝑟𝑟 2 (sec. 15.2). Such a
calculation for any force ~1/𝑟𝑟 2 was done in [9, sec. 27].
Fig. 32 shows the diagram of the forces densities and directions
of the ether and substance (tangible matter) motion arising in the grav-
itational ether flow. It should be borne in mind that the south magnetic
pole is located in the northern hemisphere, and the north magnetic
577
pole – in the southern. In physics, it is agreed that the magnetic field
lines emerge from the north magnetic pole.

with 𝛁𝛁𝑝𝑝. Thus, the equation of motion (5) of the newtonians global
flow density near the Earth and inside it has the form
𝑑𝑑𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 𝐮𝐮
= −𝛁𝛁𝑝𝑝.
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
The ether flow with a weak gradient and vorticity of the flow
density has a high penetrating ability due to the extremely small size
of the newtonians (234) and the low viscosity of the ether (sec. 21.7).
Therefore, it reaches the core of the Earth.
The problem of the motion of a spherical shell toward the center is
solved by E.I. Zababakhin [236, p. 28–31; 237; 238]. It is shown that
when the shell converges, unlimited accumulation (increase) of kinetic
energy occurs both for the substance and for the electromagnetic field.
As a result, by analogy with gas-hydrodynamics, an area with
high density and energy of newtonians should be formed in the center
of the Earth. The interaction of local vortices and ether flows from the
structural elements of the Earth’s core leads to the formation of stable
in the ether medium vortex sources (electrons) and vortex sinks (pro-
tons), at the boundary of which the linear flow velocity reaches the
speed of light (characteristic speed of free propagation of disturbances
in the ether).
The pressure (energy density) in the core of the Earth, according
to the data in the table above, is almost four times greater than the
pressure of the unperturbed ether (230). In such conditions, when a
resonant motion occurs, there should be a fusion of protons and elec-
trons into hydrogen nuclei and neutrons. The state energy of protons
and neutrons decreases with the formation by them of light elements
nuclei (up to iron) [239, ch. 6, sec. 2]. Therefore, in the center of the
Earth, nuclei of light chemical elements should be born. In such a way
substance (tangible matter) can appear in the center of the Earth.
The reactions occurring in the core of the Earth should be referred
to the so-called low energy nuclear reactions (LENR) or low-temper-
ature transformation of nuclides, see, for example: [lenr.seplm.ru],
579
since the energy released during such reactions is much smaller than
the energy released in nuclear fusion reactions as on the Sun, or decay
(disintegration) during fission of heavy elements.
In this model, the weakening of the ether flow to the center of the
Earth will lead to the cessation of the matter formation in the core.
However, the transformation of nuclides may occur for a long time
after this, since the intensity of such reactions is usually low due to
the relative smallness of the occurrence probability of the conditions
for resonance [240, 241].
Thus, in the core of the Earth the formation of matter takes place,
the density of matter increases, its pressure grows. As a result, the
outer layers are moved apart, and the size of the Earth increases.
One of the confirmations of the hypothesis about the formation
of matter in the Earth's core is a decrease in the thickness of layers
with a distance from its center, since as the radius of the spherical ring
increases, the width of the ring decreases while maintaining the vol-
ume. Note that the thickness of the rings can be used within the frame-
work of various models to estimate the speed of the substance for-
mation in the core or the periods of its special activity.
It is clear that the matter motion in the core and in the mantle is
influenced by many factors, including random, as well as the structure
features (breaks, surface tension) and thickness (width) of the Earth's
lithosphere. Therefore, the description of the details of this process is
a complicated task. We will focus here only on the analysis of the
general causes of the occurrence of minerals wide variety and the ex-
planation of their renewal possibility.
As has been repeatedly noted in the book, a weakly modulated
ether flow has a high penetrating ability due to the extremely small
size of newtonians. Therefore, energy in this form can move freely
enough inside the Earth.
In the Earth crust there are resonator regions in which the ether
flow can be blocked, for example, due to the presence of a large ether
pressure gradient (electric field) at its boundaries, see equation (23).
580
Besides, the ether vortices can form in the Earth, for example, when
ether flows meet.
The existence of resonator regions in the Earth is confirmed by
their emergence to the surface in the form of so-called anomalous ge-
opathogenic zones, in which strong electric and magnetic fields are
detected and the formation of plasmoids and fireballs is observed. Ge-
ophysics data also confirm the presence of resonator regions. For ex-
ample, under large oil fields, an extensive system of enemas-type ar-
eas is observed with upward necks [242]. Besides, many deposits of
solid substances are in places of vertical or inclined fractures of rocks.
Moving in the crust of the Earth, the matter enters the resonator
regions, where electric discharges and longitudinal or transverse stand-
ing waves arise as a result of interaction with the ether wave. Energy is
pumped in the area between the nodes of the standing wave, when res-
onating with an external wave flow of the ether (for example, an elec-
tromagnetic field). If this energy exceeds a certain threshold, then the
low-temperature transformation reactions of nuclides (LENR) begin to
occur. New chemical elements appear. This mechanism explains the
variety of minerals and the recovery of their exhausted deposits, includ-
ing the origin of water in the inexhaustible sources coming from the
deep bowels.
Approaching the Earth surface, the volume of the resonator re-
gions decreases [242], the release of energy as a result of nuclide
transformations occurring in them decreases. Besides, on the surface
the Earth thermal energy is spent on radiation and heating of the at-
mosphere. All this explains the temperature drop with decreasing
depth and the rigidity of the Earth's crust, at the temperature of which
many substances are in a solid state.
The conclusion about the important role of LENR in the dynam-
ics of the Earth matter is confirmed by the impossibility of drilling by
traditional methods at depths of the order of 10 [km]. If we assume
that the pressure of the water column every 10 [m] increases by
1 [atm], then at the depth of 10 [km] it reaches 103 [atm] ≈ 108 [Pa]
581
and, taking into account local stresses, approaches or even exceeds
the pressure of the unperturbed ether (230). In such conditions, the
rearrangement of the substance structure, including chemical ele-
ments, begins.
In order to confirm and develop the presented model of the Earth
internal structure, test experiments on the artificial creation of condi-
tions similar to those occurring in the Earth’s lithosphere are neces-
sary, under which the low-temperature transformations of nuclides
occur and various minerals are formed. Specific conditions may be
prompted by facts accumulated in geology and geophysics, see, for
example: [243, 244]. Solving such a complex task will require a lot of
effort, but it can be a significant new breakthrough in methods of pro-
specting and analyzing deposits, comparable with the period of devel-
opment of such technologies in the 1960s.
The qualitative considerations given here can serve as a basis for
creating a detailed quantitative model of the Earth structure, which, in
combination with a computational experiment, will provide new sub-
stantiated informative results on the details of the Earth composition,
allow to develop new ways of searching for mineral deposits and un-
derstand the conditions contributing to their enrichment and recovery.
A similar etheric model can be proposed for the Sun. The main
differences from the etheric model of the Earth are the larger-scale
gravitational flow with the higher speed of newtonians flow, in the
center of which the energy density (pressure) is reached, sufficient to
initiate thermonuclear fusion reactions with much more energy re-
lease compared to LENR.

Conclusion
583
cluding relatively inexpensive, and modifications of known experi-
ments are proposed in this book, see sec. 10, 12.1, 16.1, 18.11, 19.2,
21.5, 21.9, 23.2.3, 23.3 (p. 407), 23.5.1, 23.6.1, 23.6.2, 23.6.6, 23.6.7,
23.9.2–23.9.5, 23.10.4, 23.11, 23.12.
According to the methodology of mathematical modeling [1–5],
which establishes the adequacy of the mathematical model on the ba-
sis of its consequences correspondence to well-proven experimental
facts, the conducted studies allow making the substantiated conclu-
sion about the adequacy of the description of electrical, magnetic,
gravitational and kinetic phenomena as the ether dynamics in the
model of continuous media mechanics (4)–(6), without involving the
theory of relativity. Therefore, the mathematical formalism presented
in the book has a good prospect of becoming a common platform for
consolidating the efforts of the ether theory proponents to assert it as
a basic concept in analyzing natural phenomena. Including to give a
reliable mathematical platform for analyzing the physical-phenome-
nological and natural-philosophical models of the ether.
It is important to emphasize that currently in the methodology of
mathematical modeling there is no reason to consider the Maxwell
equations as the initial equations for the description of nature, as
there are no results yet for deriving from these equations the law of
electromagnetic induction, the Ampere laws, the Lorentz force, the
law of gravity and other laws.
Besides, the description of the phenomena discussed in the book
does not require the use of the quantum mechanics model with its set
of postulates and principles. Herewith, quantization of processes is
not excluded (see sec. 6).
The denial of the ether existence is usually based on the interpre-
tation of Michelson's experiments and observations of moving light
sources (see, for example: [29, sec. 102, 103]). However, as the de-
tailed analysis shows, the generally accepted interpretation of these
experiments is not adequate (see Appendices 2 and 3). In particular,
it is necessary to take into account the presence of vortices and the
584
possibility of a substantial change of the ether velocity near the Earth
and other cosmic bodies. In other words, it is necessary to look for the
etheric wind where it is present.
The existence of the ether is confirmed by the large number of
experimental facts (more than seventy) considered in the book, in par-
ticular those described in sec. 23.
Another important fundamental conclusion from the research
presented in the book is that the ether equations (4)–(6) must be taken
into account when constructing detailed self-consistent mathematical
models of electrodynamics, gas-hydro-dynamics and kinetics, since,
for example, in the general case the vectors 𝐄𝐄 and 𝐁𝐁 do not contain all
the information about motion of the ether density flow 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮 (see for-
mulas (20), (21)), that is, they may not give a complete description of
some processes. Maxwell's equations also lose some information con-
tained in the original ether equations, as they are a particular conse-
quence of them (sec. 2).
Moreover, the systematic use of the ether equations (4)–(6) leads
to the conclusion that the primary cause of the electric currents and
magnets properties is the ether flow, and the possible motion of
charged particles is a concomitant effect in this flow.
Note that in models of phenomena, in addition to the laws of con-
servation of matter and momentum, other conservation laws known
in continuous media mechanics can be applied.
In the mathematical theory of the ether, complex and seemingly
paradoxical phenomena find the common and clear interpretation of
continuous media mechanics. The book analyzes such phenomena as:
wave-particle duality; different behavior of oppositely charged bodies
in electric and magnetic fields; gravitational effect; phenomena asso-
ciated with electric currents and magnets, including superconductiv-
ity; thermal conductivity; interaction of bodies with smooth surfaces;
phase state of objects; quantization.
In the theory of the ether, the mechanism of electric current and
heat conduction in metals is explained by the creation of newtonians
pressure gradient (energy density gradient) and does not require the
585
presence of free electrons, see sec. 21.5, 21.6, 21.9–21.11, 23.2.1,
23.5, 23.6.1, 23.6.2. We emphasize that for modern physics, the strug-
gle for the electronic theory of conductivity and thermal conductivity
of metals is fundamental since the small role or absence of free elec-
trons in metals makes it necessary to introduce the ether or its ana-
logues to explain these processes. Physics, despite the internal contra-
dictions of the classical electronic theory of metals conductivity (sec.
23.2.1) and it's substantial (about 10 thousand times) quantitative in-
consistency with the experiments [32, p. 213; 152, ch. 6, p. 55; 154,
ch. 3], instead of recognizing the presence of the ether, tries to pre-
serve the electronic theory of conductivity by the endowment of elec-
trons in quantum theory with the properties necessary for explaining
experiments. In particular, an electron is represented by a wave capa-
ble of bending around obstacles [28, p. 424]. But such an approach
means that physics, denying the existence of the ether, still introduces
some exotic analogue of the ether flow.
Let us draw attention to the well-known opinion about the need
to clarify the molecular model of various macroscopic media [245, p.
47–48]. Theoretically obtained formulas of physics for thermal con-
ductivity, viscosity, electrical conductivity and diffusion are usually
too rough for application. Instead experimental data are used in prac-
tice. Particularly noticeable are the contradictions between the theory
and the experiment in the molecular-kinetic description of a liquid,
solidification, and a solid body [151]. The theory of the ether allows
to hope for the removal of existing contradictions between the theory
and the experiment through the development of the model of atoms,
molecules and forces acting between them.
An important result is a conclusion that the gravitational interac-
tion of objects in the ether can occur at distances of the order of their
boundary layers size, which can differ significantly from the size of
the objects themselves. This effect is similar to the contactless inter-
action of magnets (p. 272) and charged objects (sec. 18.13).
The book reveals the unity of the origin of the electromagnetic
and gravitational forces as a result of the ether motion. Proceeding
586
from this, and also taking into account the obtained approximate esti-
mate, showing the high speed of the ether around the Earth (sec. 22.2),
it is natural to pose the task of studying the possibility of creating tech-
nical devices that convert the gravitational motion of the ether near the
Earth into electromagnetic and vice versa in order to extract energy,
gravity control and the creation of new vehicles for motion in space.
Analysis conducted in sec. 23.10, allows to start solving this problem.
It is known that the electric field of the Earth at the surface is
~130 [V/m], which at a person’s height gives a voltage of ~200 [V]
(see, for example: [28, p. 82]). The total potential difference between
the surface of the Earth and the upper layers of the atmosphere is al-
most 400 [kV]. In physics, it is believed that some unknown processes
impede the rapid loss of its charge by the Earth [28, p. 83]. However,
as shown in sec. 18.11, the presence of charged particles is not required
to maintain the Earth’s electric field. The study of the essential mech-
anisms details of terrestrial and atmospheric electricity can lead to the
creation of efficient technical devices that allow the use of energy
stored in the electric field of the Earth, see the end of sec. 23.2.2. It is
possible that Nikola Tesla possessed exactly such technologies.
Sec. 21.5 shows that the ether is in fact a thermostat. The colossal
heat capacity of the ether can be tried to be used for practical purposes.
The analysis of the ether carrier structure (mass and size of the
newtonians, see sec. 21.2) shows the enormous structural and infor-
mation capacity of the ether even at distances of the order of the pro-
ton radius. This causes a large variety of objects of the microworld,
opens up almost unlimited possibilities for creating new information
and computing technologies.
The high penetrating ability of certain ether flows allows offering
the presented mathematical theory as a tool for a grounded analysis
of so-called psychophysical and paranormal phenomena.
The given material, regardless of attitude to the hypothesis of the
ether existence and its physical interpretation, can be considered as a
587
new effective mathematical apparatus for the detailed study of elec-
trical, magnetic, gravitational and kinetic effects.
The presented results form a unified physical and mathematical
methodology for studying various phenomena of nature, show a close
relationship between electromagnetic processes and gravity, give a
new mathematical tool for a deeper study of the micro and macro-
cosm, open up the possibility of developing fundamentally new tech-
nical systems for the production and storage of energy, motion in
space, gravity control, operating with information.
Once there is the media in which everything happens, then it can
be used for practical purposes.
The next stage of research is to detail models taking into account
the peculiarities of the processes’ specific conditions, carrying out
computational and real experiments, creation of breakthrough inno-
vative technologies.
In modern fundamental research, there is a convergence (synthe-
sis) of various branches of science [246]. Scientific research in the
previous 200–300 years was directed mainly at creating methods for
studying phenomena, accumulating and applying knowledge in spe-
cific areas. The modern needs of society require new fundamental dis-
coveries to create fundamentally new, effective, nature-like, environ-
mentally friendly technologies. This problem is difficult to solve in
the framework of one area of science. Therefore, there is a synthesis
of approaches from various branches of knowledge. The material of
the book can be viewed as a mathematical apparatus for convergence,
which allows to quantitatively unite various branches of science on
the basis of a single universal model of nature.
The new approach to understanding the fundamentals of nature
should stimulate the development of the natural sciences and related
organizational and financial activities. The large-scale work is ex-
pected on the preparation of new monographs and training courses,
volumetric reissue of educational literature in a modern edition, the
588
opening of new directions in research institutes and training of spe-
cialists for them in higher education institutions, creation of funda-
mentally new technical devices.
In the humanitarian sphere, it is important to perform a compre-
hensive analysis of historical, social, psychological, economic and
philosophical reasons due to which the methodology of modern phys-
ics in terms of theory turned out to be dogmatic, hindering the transi-
tion to new technologies. Measures should be developed on the basis
of such studies that ensure the dynamic development of mankind.

Appendix 2. On the search for the ether wind
593
A simplified scheme of the
Michelson interferometer is
shown in the figure to the left,
see, for example: [114, sec. 63].
The beam coming from the
source 𝑆𝑆0 , is partially reflected at
the point 𝑂𝑂 from the slightly sil-
ver-plated glass plate 𝐴𝐴; then it
reflects from the mirror 𝑅𝑅2 , and
part of it, passing through the
plate 𝐴𝐴, enters the telescope at
point 𝐹𝐹. Another part of the beam
𝑆𝑆0 passes through the plate 𝐴𝐴, then reflects from the mirror 𝑅𝑅1 , again
is partially reflected at point 𝑂𝑂 and also gets into the tube 𝐹𝐹. Distances
𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂 = 𝑂𝑂𝑅𝑅1 = 𝑂𝑂𝑅𝑅2 = 𝑂𝑂𝑆𝑆0 = 𝑙𝑙. The observer in the tube 𝐹𝐹 sees inter-
ference fringes depending on the difference in the transit time of the
paths 𝑂𝑂𝑅𝑅1 𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂 and 𝑂𝑂𝑅𝑅2 𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂 of these two beams. If the device is station-
ary relative to the ether, then the times spent by the rays of light for
the motion are the same, since each of them travels the path 4𝑙𝑙 with
the speed of light 𝑐𝑐. This time is 𝑡𝑡 = 4𝑙𝑙/𝑐𝑐.
Suppose the wave nature of light. In this case, the speed of light
can depend only on the properties of the ether and/or on the internal
properties of the propagating light itself.
Let the speed of light, in the presence of the ether, depend on the
properties of the ether and behave similarly to the speed of sound.
Consider the propagation of sound from the jet supersonic airplane.
The sound propagates through the medium in all directions at a con-
stant speed determined by the medium, 𝑐𝑐 2 ~ 𝑝𝑝/𝜌𝜌. At the same time
the plane (sound source) moves faster than the sound. That is, the
speed of sound in the medium does not add up with the speed of the
sound source. The same situation takes place at lower airplane speeds,
see the second paragraph of appendix 3.
594
Within the framework of the analogy between the sound in the
medium and the light in the ether, the speed of light in the ether does
not add up to the speed of the light source motion. Therefore, when
the device moves together with the Earth, the time of passage of two
rays, in the absence of light interaction with the ether, must be the
same 𝑡𝑡 = 4𝑙𝑙/𝑐𝑐.
However, light interacts with a substance in the ether, for exam-
ple, in the form of a gas or particles, which is observed in the form of
scattering or absorption. Experiments show the possibility of light in-
teraction with the ether itself (as a sound wave with the wind), the
speed and density of which are defined by local and global processes
in space. Thus, when shielding a chamber with a metal casing, the
result of measuring the ether wind was close to zero [78]. Similarly,
the local speed of sound in the cabin of an airplane, including when it
is supersonic, remains constant, independent of the external wind and
the same in all directions.
Besides, even without a metal shell, the thinnest plate of glass is
sufficient to allow for the re-emission of light by this fixed object [78].
Thus, in the concept of the ether interacting with a substance, the
local speed of the ether observed in experiments can be smaller than
the speed of the Earth’s motion along the orbit, smaller than the speed
of rotation of a local ether vortex, which creates attraction to the Earth
(see sec. 22.2), and smaller than the speed of the ether around the
Earth in the global ether vortex of the Solar system.
Note that the speed of the ether near the Earth in the global vortex
of the Solar system must be greater than the orbital speed of the Earth,
because for the emergence of the generalized Zhukovsky force, which
provides gravity to the Sun, this vortex must "penetrate" the Earth (see
sec. 16.2, 22.2), that is have a speed relative to the Earth.
According to the author of the book [80], starting with the exper-
iments of Michelson and Morley and ending with Miller's experi-
ments, the ether wind associated with the rotation of the planet was
measured in all cases, which in order of magnitude should be close to
595
the first cosmic velocity equal in the case of the Earth to 7.91 [km/s].
We emphasize that the ether vortex, which provides gravity to the
Earth, differs from the vortex created by the rotation of the Earth
around its axis.
Thus, the experiments of Michelson, Morley and Miller do not
support the constancy of the speed of light and do not deny any prin-
ciples of classical physics, including the existence of the ether.
Various experiments confirm that the basis of the gravity phe-
nomenon are vortices in the ether. So, the experiments of Majorana
[94] showed a decrease in the measured weight of objects in the pres-
ence of a metal shell on the chamber in which the experiments were
conducted. In the etheric interpretation, the shell weakens the terres-
trial ether vortex inside the chamber, the generalized Zhukovsky force
decreases and, as a result, the weight of the object decreases. This
experiment also indicates the dependence of the gravitational flow of
the ether (162) on the presence of a substance.
The Earth and other space objects are in the global etheric vortex
of the Solar system. The generalized Zhukovsky force arising in it
attracts cosmic objects to the Sun. The etheric vortex of the Solar sys-
tem consists of a nucleus, in the paraxial zone of which the Sun is
located, and a distributed vorticity in the planetary zone [80]. Outside
this zone, the vortex is weakened or destroyed, and the universal grav-
ity law can stop working.
Instead of exploring the vortex flow of the ether, the etheric wind
near objects, studying the effects of vortices on planets and star sys-
tems, modern relativists, based on the absolutization of the universal
gravitation law, introduce the concept of "dark matter" and other ab-
stract entities.

Appendix 3. On moving light sources
As known [29, 114], one of the main questions for the theory of
relativity (RT): is the speed of light constant?
The answer to this question in the methodology of mathematical
modeling is determined by the mathematical model used. If the prop-
agation of light is described by the mathematical model (4)–(6) used
in this book, basing on the law of momentum conservation, and it is
assumed that in experiments the light source creates small perturba-
tions of the medium that satisfy equations (78), then, as well known
from the course of mathematical physics, the wave in such conditions
propagates with the speed 𝑢𝑢∗ , determined by the properties of the me-
dium, and not the magnitude of the initial value of the velocity. For
example, in the d'Alembert formula [62, p. 56] the wave propagation
velocity is described by the argument 𝑥𝑥 ± 𝑢𝑢∗ 𝑡𝑡, which does not depend
on the initial velocity of the wave.
Thus, in this mathematical model, the wave propagation velocity
does not depend on whether the wave source is moving or not. There-
fore, if the experiments do not observe the dependence of the speed
of light on the speed of the source, this circumstance, according to the
methodology of applied mathematics, should be considered as one of
the mathematical model correctness confirmations, that is, the cor-
rectness of the assumption about the propagation of light in a medium
characterized by the relation (19), in which the speed 𝑢𝑢∗ is equal to
the speed of light 𝑐𝑐. In other words, experiments showing the con-
stancy of the speed of light should confirm the hypothesis of the prop-
agation of light in a certain medium.
We now consider the important physical aspects of this issue, fol-
lowing [79]. The term "constant" means independence of time, spatial
coordinates, the direction of light propagation and, finally, from the
properties of the light itself.
Taking into account these aspects, one can ask what could be de-
termined in the Michelson interferometer. Two unpolarized light
597
beams in it moved in two mutually perpendicular directions. The tra-
jectories of light began and ended at the same points. Therefore, in
experiments they dealt only with a certain "average" speed of light for
opposite directions. As a result, it could only be shown that the aver-
age speed of light for two opposite directions in some system of ref-
erence does not depend on the motion of this system.
The result of this experiment does not answer the following ques-
tions. Is the speed of light constant regardless of its propagation di-
rection, or is it anisotropic? Does the speed of light depend on time
and the choice of coordinate system? Does it depend in vacuum on
the characteristics of the light itself, in particular on its frequency?
There are other unanswered questions in RT. What is the mecha-
nism of light propagation and electromagnetic waves in the vacuum?
Do vacuum properties change when disturbances or particles are in-
troduced into it?
All these questions in the absence of the medium – the ether –
remain unanswered, and the constancy of the speed of light in RT is
the postulate that does not have experimental confirmation.
The problems and internal contradictions of RT are discussed in
detail in [78, 79, 110], which we recommend to read carefully.

Appendix 4. Trajectories of Lagrangian particles for the
equation of motion with zero right side
We prove that for the equation of motion with the zero right hand
side (2) the Lagrangian particles trajectories of the medium outside of
its discontinuities are straight lines. The attention to this problem in
the N.N. Magnitskii model of the ether was drown by T.T. Sultan-
Zade. The following proof is proposed by F.S. Zaitsev.
Integrate equation (2)
over the time interval [𝑡𝑡0 , 𝑡𝑡], where 𝑡𝑡0 is the initial moment of time, 𝑡𝑡
is the arbitrary final moment, assuming the continuity of the left side
of the equation. According to the Newton – Leibniz formula we have
which means the preservation of the velocity vector 𝐮𝐮�𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)� direc-
tion at 𝜌𝜌�𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)� ≠ 0 on [𝑡𝑡0 , 𝑡𝑡].
Preserving the direction of the velocity vector of a point implies
its motion 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡) along the straight line, since from the equation
𝑑𝑑𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)
= 𝐮𝐮�𝑡𝑡, 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)�,
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
599

𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡) − � 𝐫𝐫(𝑡𝑡)�𝑡𝑡=𝑡𝑡 = � 𝐮𝐮�𝑦𝑦, 𝐫𝐫(𝑦𝑦)�𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑,

0
𝑡𝑡0 𝜌𝜌�𝑦𝑦, 𝐫𝐫(𝑦𝑦)� 𝑡𝑡=𝑡𝑡0
which is the parametric representation of the straight line with the pa-
rameter 𝑠𝑠(𝑡𝑡). The statement is proven.
Recall that current lines (vector lines) are called lines, at each
point of which the velocity vector of the medium is tangential to them.
In the general case of the non-stationary flow, the current lines can be
completely different from the trajectories of the Lagrangian particles,
see, for example: [9, sec. 11; 14, p. 43, 44].
However, for steady state motion (with zero partial derivatives
with respect to time), that is, the stationary velocity field, the equa-
tions for the trajectories and for the current lines coincide, therefore,
the trajectories and current lines themselves coincide at any moment,
see, for example: [9, p. 43]. But, as has just been shown, the trajecto-
ries for the equation (2) are always straight lines (both for the steady
state and for the unsteady state motion). Then, in the steady state flow,
the current lines are also straight, since in this case they coincide with
the trajectories.

Appendix 5. New systems of units associated with the ether
601
The density 𝜌𝜌 and the velocity 𝐮𝐮 of the ether generate electric and
magnetic fields, charge density and mass, see formulas (20), (21),
(66), (179), (229).Therefore, the system of units of measurement
(𝑙𝑙, 𝑓𝑓(𝜌𝜌), 𝑡𝑡), where 𝑓𝑓 is the given function, will be sufficient to con-
struct the dimensions of all the basic physical quantities of the CGS
and SI systems.
Consider two options for introducing a new system of units associ-
ated with the ether. In these options, the dimension of the mass in the
ether units is appropriate to its definition in [52]. If the mass is intro-
duced by the formula (179), then its dimension is determined by the di-
mension of 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 . The dimension of 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 can be chosen arbitrarily from one
or the other reason. According to (229), the choice of 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 dimension
determines the dimension of the constant 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 of converting formulae
in the derived (mechanical) units of measurement, which uses 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 , into
the original ether units of measurement associated with 𝜌𝜌: 𝜌𝜌𝑚𝑚 = 𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 𝜌𝜌.
Variant 1.
We introduce the unit of measurement of the ether amount
Э = � 𝜌𝜌 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 ,
𝑉𝑉
which can be called "э" from "ether" in Russian: "эфир". In the sys-
tem (𝑙𝑙, э, 𝑡𝑡) the dimensions of the ether density, magnetic and electric
fields, charge and mass will be
э э2 э э2
[𝜌𝜌] = 3 , [𝐁𝐁] = [𝐄𝐄] = 2 2 , [𝑞𝑞𝜎𝜎 ] = 2 , [𝑚𝑚] = 2 3 .
𝑙𝑙 𝑡𝑡 𝑙𝑙 𝑡𝑡 𝑡𝑡 𝑙𝑙
The dimensions of mass and charge differ in 1 э/𝑙𝑙 3 , and dimen-
sions of 𝐁𝐁 and 𝐄𝐄, as in the CGS system, are the same, but do not con-
tain radicals. The dimensions of the remaining physical quantities are
based on the dimensions of the charge 𝑞𝑞𝜎𝜎 and mass 𝑚𝑚.
602
Variant 2.
The most interesting is the variant of the system of units (𝑙𝑙, 𝜌𝜌, 𝑡𝑡),
in which the ether density 𝜌𝜌 is a dimensionless quantity. Then
𝑙𝑙 𝑙𝑙 3 𝑙𝑙 3
[Э] = 𝑙𝑙 3 , [𝐁𝐁] = [𝐄𝐄] = , [𝑞𝑞𝜎𝜎 ] = , [𝑚𝑚] = .

sure and can be described as 𝑄𝑄 = 𝐺𝐺𝐺𝐺/𝑛𝑛0 , 𝐺𝐺 = 4 − 10 [1/(s ∙

Appendix 7. The ion wind in the corona discharge
2. The formed slow electrons 𝑒𝑒 collide with 𝑂𝑂2 and 𝑁𝑁2 molecules
and ionize them:
608
𝑒𝑒 + 𝑂𝑂2 → 𝑂𝑂2+ + 2𝑒𝑒,
𝑒𝑒 + 𝑁𝑁2 → 𝑁𝑁2+ + 2𝑒𝑒.
609
the motion of positive ions due to the increase in the electric field. 𝑂𝑂2+
ions move longer in the electrode electric field than 𝑂𝑂− ions, which
are neutralized on its surface. Therefore, according to Newton's sec-
ond law, the 𝑂𝑂2+ ions acquire the larger impulse than the 𝑂𝑂− ions. The
uncompensated impulse of positive ions 𝑂𝑂2+ manifests itself in the
form of a wind in the direction from the positively charged electrode.
Similarly, in the case of the negatively charged tip, the ion wind
arises of negative ions 𝑂𝑂− , directed from the tip.
Electrons play a small role in the transfer of momentum, since
they have a much smaller mass and at the same speed as the ions one
carry a much smaller momentum.
In the breakdown mode, the mobility of positive ions is approxi-
mately two times smaller than the mobility of negative ions [5, p. 331,
332] (recall that the mobility is called the drift velocity acquired by a
charged particle under the action of the constant unit electric field [28,
p. 182]). The formation of the ionic wind is not related to the mobility
of ions, but its consideration may be important in the quantitative de-
scription of the ion wind properties, see below.
The ion wind has a mechanical effect on the obstacles: the rota-
tion of the glass cylinder [28, sec. 51] or a propeller (sec. 23.9.3), the
formation of a depth (funnel) on the surface of the water [2], the sup-
pression of a burning candle, etc.
If the electrode is not fixed, then, in accordance with the third law
of Newton, it can be set in motion. This explains, for example, the
rotation of a brace (Franklin wheel) in air, see [28, p. 51] and also sec.
23.9.4.
The different nature of the neutralization of negative and positive
ions on the electrode surface can lead to different efficiency of the
transfer of impulse from the ions to it.
Thus, the ion wind in a corona discharge is a rather complex phe-
nomenon, since it is formed by the overlaying of multiple effects.
The principle of many electrostatic engines operation is based on
the use of the ionic wind pressure, created by the corona discharge.
610
Let us estimate the pressure of the ion wind on the liquid. The ideas
of the presented technique can be useful for analyzing the pressure of
the flow of the ether in certain experiments.
𝜕𝜕𝐮𝐮 𝛁𝛁𝑝𝑝 𝐅𝐅
+ (𝐮𝐮 ∙ 𝛁𝛁)𝐮𝐮 = − + ,
𝜕𝜕𝜕𝜕 𝜌𝜌𝑎𝑎 𝜌𝜌𝑎𝑎
where 𝜌𝜌𝑎𝑎 and 𝐮𝐮 are the density and velocity of air, 𝑝𝑝 is the pressure
in its flow, 𝐅𝐅 is the density of the force creating the air flow.
611
In the simplest model, we neglect the pressure gradient as com-
pared with the density of the electric field force, the heating of the air
by discharge, and assume that the ion wind in the ion drift region (fig.
33) is formed by ions of the same type and sign, and also the air in
this region moves with ions (that is, the number of ions and the size
of the drift region are sufficient for the ions to entrain uncharged air
particles through elastic collisions with them). Then from the Euler
equation for steady one-dimensional air flow we get [3]
𝑑𝑑 1 2 |𝑒𝑒𝑖𝑖 ||𝐸𝐸|𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑖
� 𝑢𝑢 � = , (1)
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 2 𝜌𝜌𝑎𝑎
where |𝐸𝐸| is the value of the electric field, 𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑖 is the concentration of
ions, |𝑒𝑒𝑖𝑖 |is the ion charge.
We take into account the resistance of the medium to the motion
of ions, expressing the force density |𝑒𝑒𝑖𝑖 ||𝐸𝐸|𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑖 in the right hand side
of (1) through the full current using the relations for the drift velocity
of ions.
The electric field is related as follows with the mobility of ions
𝜇𝜇𝑖𝑖 and their drift velocity 𝐮𝐮𝑖𝑖 [28, p. 182]:

We get

The current density 𝑗𝑗 is expressed in terms of the total current 𝐼𝐼

𝐻𝐻
For the density of the air kinetic energy, understood in the usual
sense (not pulsed, sec. 1.4)) as the density of the work of moving its
elementary volume from the point 𝑥𝑥 = 𝑥𝑥∗ to the point 𝑥𝑥 = 𝐻𝐻 [26, p.
131], we obtain from (2)
613
Then
In accordance with the Bernoulli integral [9, sec. 30], the air flow
exerts the pressure on the surface of the liquid
or at 𝑟𝑟 ≪ 𝑅𝑅
Substituting in (3) for oxygen ions 𝑂𝑂− the tabular value 𝜇𝜇𝑖𝑖 = 5 ∙
10−4 [m2 /(V ∙ s)] [5, p. 332], measured in the experiment [3] con-
stant current |𝐼𝐼| = 30 [μA], the funnel radius 𝑅𝑅 = 4 [mm], electrode
curvature radius 𝑟𝑟 = 0.7 [mm] and the distance between the tip and
the surface of the liquid 𝐻𝐻 = 7 [mm], we find
614
𝜌𝜌𝑙𝑙 𝑉𝑉𝑉𝑉 𝜌𝜌𝑙𝑙 𝑆𝑆(𝐻𝐻)ℎ𝑔𝑔
∆𝑝𝑝 = = = 𝜌𝜌𝑙𝑙 𝑔𝑔ℎ,
𝑆𝑆(𝐻𝐻) 𝑆𝑆(𝐻𝐻)
where 𝜌𝜌𝑙𝑙 is the density of the liquid, ℎ is the depth of the funnel. In
experiments [3] with water 𝜌𝜌𝑙𝑙 = 103 [kg/m3 ], the depth of the funnel
was ℎ ≈ 4 [mm]. Hence, ∆𝑝𝑝 ≈ 39 [Pa], which is consistent with the
estimate obtained on the basis of considering the ion wind effects.
The correspondence of the theoretical estimates of the ion wind
velocity and its pressure to experimental data confirms the adequacy
of the considered ion wind model.

Views of some great scientists about the structure of matter
638
the dielectric displacement. He also showed that if the ether is a per-
fect incompressible fluid without friction, then the atoms are the
Helmholtz toroidal rings.
School of J.J. Thomson (1856–1940) continued this line. J.J.
Thomson consistently developed the vortex theory of matter and in-
teraction. On the basis of the vortex theory of the ether he showed in
1903 that 𝐸𝐸 = 𝑚𝑚𝑐𝑐 2 .
Thus, Lord Kelvin and J.J. Thomson considered a unified matter
– the Ether. Different types of its manifestation were associated with
various forms of its kinetic motion.
D.I. Mendeleev (1834–1907) tried to determine the chemical
properties of the ether. His ether was included in the table of chemical
elements in the "zero line" under the name "newtonian".
N.E. Zhukovsky (1847–1921) also adhered to the position of the
existence of the ether. He tried to obtain the Maxwell equations from a
mechanical model. He wrote: "I am convinced that the problems of
enormous speeds, the basic problems of the electromagnetic theory will
be solved with the help of the old mechanics of Galileo and Newton."
K.E. Tsiolkovsky (1857–1935): "I do not agree with those scien-
tists who despaired to explain the phenomenon of nature by mechan-
ical means. It seems to me that the newest path of the scientific re-
search will not last long: they will again turn to the mechanical fun-
damentals".
Of particular note is the Soviet academician V.F. Mitkevich
(1872–1951). He defended the need to recognize the existence of the
ether and the mechanical point of view on the ether. His books "Basic
physical views" and "Magnetic flux and its transformations" are still
relevant.

Quotes from comments on the first and the second Russian
editions of the book
"That is how it should be! Some things have always been obvious
to me. The book is wonderfully written! So beautiful and elegant set
out that I was shocked! I drove home, flipped through it. Then I sat
down without dinner and finished at five in the morning. Read it in
one breath! I recommend." – N.V. Samsonenko.
"Having received this book in the evening, I could not keep myself
from work on it until two in the morning. You know, I recommend it to
everyone. This is really a very interesting, unique work." – M.Ya. Ivanov.
"I insist that this is not just a modeling, but a classical under-
standing of the whole nature in general, because here is the Galileo
transformation and Newtonian mechanics, the mechanics of a contin-
uous medium. Vision of the world from the point of view of classical
science. ... Actually, we are present at the time of the birth of a new
program, a whole direction that only rises on good mathematical feet.
... This book does not attract marginals, in fact, they understand little
there, it attracts professionals. In this I see its great role. Authors are
professionals in their field. They really understand what we can, what
we cannot, what we know, what we do not know and cut through the
path that we can cut through." – A.Yu. Gryaznov.
"In my opinion, this is the best work on the unified field theory!"
– I.A. Gudovshikov.
640
"The most essential thing is to try, through practical applications,
to solve the problems that are now central. This will provide an op-
portunity to prove to scientists, ordinary people that the theory works.
In geology, there are actually two the most acute problems – under-
standing of the causes of earthquakes and the conditions for the for-
mation of huge deposits. Here we inevitably go into the fundamental
physical and philosophical side of the question: matter, motion. New
ideas and models in the book are extremely important and interesting
for advancement in the study of the internal structure of the Earth." –
V.I. Sharov.

Falsifications, misrepresentation and misunderstanding of
the methodology and results of the book
The publication of the book raised the bar for mathematical mod-
els of nature to a new high level. The time had passed when research-
ers proposing their models of nature could restrict themselves to a
small class of phenomena. Now, to justify the adequacy of a model,
it is necessary to logically derive all the basic laws of electricity, mag-
netism, electrodynamics, gravitation and all the other quantitative re-
sults presented in the book. Such a situation can naturally cause hos-
tility among researchers who are limited to a narrow range of tasks.
Besides, the book does not give rest to some pseudo-scientists,
who, instead of substantive scientific discussion of the results ob-
tained in the paradigm of mathematical modeling, aggressively try to
attract to themselves the attention of the public with all sorts of falsi-
fications and misrepresentations, in some places going beyond the
bounds of decency. Investigating the reasons for this behavior will
reduce distrust to new scientific directions.
However, let us leave the study of the details of such scientists'
behavioral motives to sociologists and psychologists, as well as to
neuropathologists and educators. Here we will consider only the log-
ical inconsistency of the falsifications that have appeared. We will use
the neutral terms accepted in scientific discussions: "misunderstand-
ing" or "misleading". Herewith, we will not dwell on banal assertions
showing that their author has not bothered to read the preface and the
first chapter of the book, or simply does not know the basics of con-
tinuous media mechanics, higher mathematics, and mathematical
modeling. We hope that the explanations provided here, as well as the
comments already given in the reviews of the book, see site eth21.ru,
will enable us not to return to the relevant topics any more.
Many scientists working at the forefront of science, unfortu-
nately, do not find time to respond to public insinuations. This leads
to negative consequences, including the difficulty of involving a wide
range of sane researchers in theoretically sound quantitative work on
642
fundamentally new technologies and ultimately hindering the timely
satisfaction of the urgent needs of society.
643
The current criticism of the book is given only from the stand-
point of the methodology of vulgar natural philosophy, in which al-
most everything is possible, as well as its mixture with the methodol-
ogy of theoretical physics, based on dogmas. The main ways of sub-
stantiating statements in these methodologies are unacceptable in the
methodology of mathematical modeling used in the book. Therefore,
such a criticism is untenable.
Misunderstanding 2. Confronting physics and mathematics.
Explanation.
Physics expresses quantitative laws using mathematical con-
cepts. Many mathematical concepts have been created for this very
purpose. Once a physical law is formulated by means of mathematics,
it is immediately becomes possible to apply the entire relevant arsenal
of mathematical theorems and methods to physics, since in mathemat-
ics they are rigorously proved logically, and logic is the basis of any
scientific methodology. Without mathematics, physics would become
a phenomenological science, difficult to use in practice.
There is also the inverse question of the physical interpretation of
a formal mathematical relation. The task of interpreting mathematical
relations in various branches of science is dealt with in applied math-
ematics, including in the section "mathematical modeling". This is a
large segment of knowledge usually not taught to physicists, engi-
neers, and technicians. Therefore, representatives of such specialties
may have problems with the application of mathematics in scientific
research and understanding its role.
Misunderstanding 3. The ether theory presented in the book
does not reproduce relativism, therefore it is not complete.
Explanation.
From the point of view of mathematical modeling methodology,
the model of relativism is unsuitable, since its consequences are not
observed in nature: mass turning to infinity, loss of geometric dimen-
sions by an object, stopping time, turning to infinity of the magnetic
and electric fields magnitudes.
644
Misunderstanding 4. Quote from one article: "The speed of an
object in the ether can exceed the speed of light. But this result does
not follow from the mathematical model, since the accepted model
does not describe relativistic effects."
Explanation.
Misrepresentation. A logical mistake is done: the absence of a
description of relativistic effects in this or that model does not entail
the impossibility to describe in it exceeding the speed of light.

The author of the remark is probably familiar with the opinion of
N.E. Zhukovsky, who highly appreciated N.P. Kasterin's research on
the analysis of Maxwell's equations, but did not carefully study N.P.
Kasterin's works, for example: "N.P. Kasterin. Generalization of the
basic equations of aerodynamics and electrodynamics. Report at a
special meeting at the Academy of Sciences on December 9, 1936. –
Moscow: Publishing house of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR,
1937". Other references to the works of N. P. Kasterin and their anal-
ysis can be found in [old.ihst.ru/projects/sohist/papers/and97ph.htm].
N.P. Kasterin obtained important results for his time, but consid-
ered only some particular cases.
He did not start from Newton's second law, but from the descrip-
tion of the medium with the help of some Lagrange function, which
he called the "kinetic potential". This approach is less general than the
one proposed in the book, since not all continuous medium motions
can be described by the Lagrange or Hamiltonian functions.
Besides, N.P. Kasterin considered only the vortex motions of the
medium, since he introduced a coordinate system related with the axis
of the vortex.
Let us briefly list the main results presented by N.P. Kasterin in
this report.
A generalization of the Euler equations is proposed. However, the
expression used for the kinetic potential is not given. It is only said that
it is "compiled on the basis of experimentally established and recog-
nized by all the basic properties of the aerodynamic and electric fields".
Using the kinetic potential N.P. Kasterin comes to the generalized
Maxwell equations, similar in appearance to the generalized equations
of aerodynamics for the vortex field. On this basis, he gives an inter-
pretation of Maxwell's equations as a description of the vortex motion
in some medium. However, the representation of magnetic and electric
fields through the parameters of this medium is not introduced.
A further generalization of Maxwell's equations takes place "by
adopting completely all vortex field equations".

Electrodynamics is considered as the motion of vortex tubes.
Quantization is associated with discreteness of the tubes.
In conclusion, a vortex treatment of the electron, positron, proton,
neutron, antiproton, neutrino, and photon is given.

only locally in the region of interaction of the ether gravitational flow
with the vortex flows of the structural elements of the object located
in this flow. When the force arises only locally in the area of interac-
tion (intersection) of flows, such as in the case of Zhukovsky's lifting
force on a wing, the question of a force propagation from the area of
its existence does not arise, since outside this area one of the force
generating flows does not exist anymore. It is useful to read carefully
again [26, p. 104] about the lifting force of the aircraft wing and see
slide 19 of the presentation at the RUDN on 28.05.2020. In BZEMG,
there is no gravitational force away from the object. If we draw an
analogy with the Zhukovsky lifting force on a wing, then it is no
longer "outside the wing" (at a distance of the order of the wing size).

Indeed, given in this equation 𝐀𝐀 ≡ 𝑐𝑐𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮 (p. 51), in the case of the
Zhukovsky external force density 𝐅𝐅 = (𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 /𝑐𝑐 )𝐕𝐕 × 𝐁𝐁, see (121), for
a weakly time-varying potential electric field, when 𝜑𝜑 ≈ 𝑝𝑝/𝑘𝑘𝑚𝑚,0 , see
(74), we come to Maxwell's emf equation.
We emphasize that the Maxwell's emf equation is not included in
the generally accepted system of Maxwell's equations, which is con-
sidered to be confirmed in experiments. This is apparently due to the
problem of verifying this equation in experiment because of the need
to measure the vector potential 𝐀𝐀 (measuring 𝐀𝐀 would mean measur-
ing the ether flow density 𝜌𝜌𝐮𝐮). The theoretical justification for the
correctness of not including this equation in Maxwell's system of
equations is given by the ether analysis performed above: Maxwell's
emf equation is a special case and approximation of the ether momen-
tum conservation law, so it makes no sense to add it to a more general
consequences of this law.

Misunderstanding 11. Quote from one publication: "The total
incomprehensibility and inexplicability of the mechanism of the vor-
tex boundary layer retention ... The complete absence of a mechanism
for the formation of such a boundary layer is an insurmountable (or
not yet insurmountable) obstacle for all such advanced etheric models
of the field."
Explanation.
A complete description of the issues of creation, stability and in-
teraction of vortices, conservation laws in vortex dynamics, is
"scrubbed out" from physics and even from almost all works on con-
tinuous mechanics, because, it immediately leads to a clear under-
standing of phenomena, causing problems in quantum mechanics and
relativity theory, for example, to understanding the Lorentz force as
an interaction of vortices. See also the discussion of slide 16 in the
presentation at the RUDN on 28.05.2020. That is why many research-
ers have problems with understanding the Bychkov – Zaitsev ether
theory. One can start an in-depth study of vortex dynamics with secs.

Misunderstanding 13. Quote from one presentation: "The au-
thors clearly confirmed that the driving factor/mechanism of gravita-
tion, according to their view, is ... the gradient (difference) of the ether
pressure (densities) along the line connecting centers of two gravita-
tionally interacting bodies ... consideration of the real geometric
scheme of gravitational interaction of large celestial bodies of the So-
lar system shows the inadequacy and inapplicability of the continuous
model due to the impossibility to maintain the ether pressure gradient
in real geometric scales of gravitational problems."
Explanation.
Misrepresentation of the essence of the BZEMG and ignoring the
actually observed large-scale vortices in nature. BZEMG considers the
scale appropriate to the size of the object that is being gravitated. When
commenting slide 16 of the presentation at the RUDN on 28.05.2020,
it was said that the object is permeable to the gravitational flow of the
ether and, in principle, it is necessary to consider the interaction of the
ether gravitational flow with the ether flows caused by atoms inside
the object. But the full etheric theory of the microcosm has not yet
been developed in this approach, so we have to limit ourselves to a
model with a macroscopic boundary layer created with the participa-
tion of object structural elements. Besides, slide 15 of the same presen-
tation says that, perhaps, when calculating gravity, it is necessary to
take into account the force caused by the law of vortex momentum
conservation (as in the wing lifting force, in addition to the pressure
difference), but this can be done after describing the microcosm.
To make it clearer – the size of the wing is small compared to the
distance from the glider to the ground, but the lifting force occurs in
the air flow having the scale of such distance. Another example is
pressure gradient that exists for a long time in large-scale atmospheric
vortices.
