Experimental Test of the Evans’ B(3)-Field: Measuring the Interaction with Free Electrons

Abstract

During the past decade, M.W. Evans and his coworkers have been developing so-called "Evans" or "ECE theory" that intends to serve as an unified field theory. One of its predictions is an existence of a radiation magnetic field called a "B(3)-field" which should accompany a circularly polarized electromagnetic radiation. This field should affect free electrons in two ways: (1) the electrons should behave in the B(3)-field in the same way as in a classical magnetic field (i.e., Larmor precession) and moreover, (2) the electrons should undergo quantum interaction with the B(3)-field with the formation of a spin connection resonance. This paper presents an experimental test of the B(3)-field existence by observing the changes in trajectories of free electrons in special detector, when strong (up to 200 W/m 2 ) continuous circularly polarized microwave radiation of a frequency of 2.45 GHz is applied. We have not detected any sign of B(3)-field in presented experiment. It follows that if the B(3)-field really exists, it should be at least 4 orders of magnitude smaller than the Evans' theory predicts.

New elements of relativistic electrodynamics for generating useful work from permanent magnets: A review

“…Hence, nowadays there are initiatives [57], though without conclusive results, to prove the existence of the B (3) field, which is the basis for generating the connection between the spin and space-time where it is possible to harness the energy of the vacuum although there is no experimental evidence in the literature. Finally, given the relevancy of this theory, it is estimated that efforts to prove this purpose will continue into the future.…”
