In 1978 I caught a hitchike with an engineer who, during an interesting
discussion, gave me a photocopy of an article describing the 
construction of a 'Searle generator', a device which exhibits
all the properties associated with flying saucers.

The basic principle is that two flat rotating conductive disks form
a charge-capacitive effect which generates obsene amounts of static
charge, sufficient to lift the device from the ground.  The article
shows several devices built by Searle and a discription of what happened
(flight, bizarre pink halo, disappeared into distance).

For years I have been keeping an eye out for appropriate flat disks to
prove or disprove this theory.  Anybody know anything more about it?
Is it the crank I think it is?

Is all.
