T Townsend Brown
Thomas Townsend Brown (1905–1985) was an American inventor and physicist who pioneered research into electrogravitic propulsion in the 1930s. Brown discovered that high-voltage discharge applied to a capacitor assembly produce a net thrust in the direction of the positive electrode — a phenomenon now known as the Biefield-Brown effect (named after Brown and his mentor, physicist Paul Alfred Biefield). His early experiments suggested that electrostatic energy could be converted into kinetic propulsion, a principle that UAP researchers argue was subsequently classified and developed into black budget aerospace programs.

Brown's work is considered foundational to claims by Richard Boylan and retired USAF Colonel Donald Ware that the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit stealth bomber incorporates onboard electrogravitic systems for internal mass reduction on its wings and fuselage — a capability allegedly contributing to the aircraft's extraordinary per-unit cost. Jesse Michaels produced an in-depth video on Brown's life and research that UAP Gerb has recommended as essential viewing for understanding the scientific lineage behind electrogravitic propulsion claims.
