Have you looked at the Hoagland reported thing on von Vraun’s ‘50 year old secret’ and De Palma’s steel ball experiment with one ball spinning and one not—the spinning one going higher etc. than the non-spinning one?
HERE: http://www.enterprisemission.com/Von_Braun?.htm
On p 18 of 39 is the blue background gif of DePalma’s Spinning Ball Experiment. . . . wherein he put 2 identical 1” steel balls such as pin ball machines use . . . in 2 identical cups. Don’t recall all the details but essentially—one ball was in a cup affixed to a spinnable drill. The other wasn’t. After the spinning ball was up to a given number of rpm’s both balls were tossed equally into the air. The spinning ball rose significantly higher etc. as the graph shows from the strobe pics.
Quix, thank you ever so much for the link! I’ll go check it out ASAP!
