I recently read a book calle The Philadelphia Experiment, it
describes a Top secret experiment in invisibility that supposedly
took place during World War II.  In one of the more credible
chapters it describes the Biefeld-Brown Effect.  Apparently this 
man, Townsend Brown, discovered that if a very high voltage is
applied to a dielectric the dielectric tends to move towards the
positive terminal.  The book claims that he was eventually able
to make some large dielectric discs float around in a circular
path.
	My question: Does anyone know of this effect?  The book is
very specific about dates and show a picture of Mr. Brown but I
can't find any mention of his work. I've looked in the Physics
abstracts and Electrical Engineering Abstracts from 1924 -1930
when his research supposedly took place.  Does anyone have any
information on this? By the way the research took place at Denison
University in Granville Ohio and the Proffessor helping him was
Dr. Paul Alfred Biefeld.

Thank you for any infomation you can give me
