Stefan Marinow

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stefan Marinow ( Bulgarian Стефан Маринов ; * 1931 in Sofia ; † July 15, 1997 in Graz , suicide ) was a Bulgarian physicist. He founded the Institute of Fundamental Physics in Graz. He proposed many unconventional theories and conducted unconventional experiments as well.

His results are not recognized in academic physics, and he was only rarely able to publish them in physics journals that are subject to peer review . Instead, he published u. a. in Galilean Electrodynamics , a reservoir for critics of the theory of relativity .

Discoveries and theories

He represented a variant of the scalar wave theory, according to which the magnetic field consists of two components: a scalar and a vector component.

He claimed the successful construction of a motor ( Marinow motor ) based on this theory, but this result could not be reproduced. The motor consisted of a closed ring-shaped cable around two permanent magnets , which were arranged in such a way that their fields should neutralize each other (north pole of one magnet on the south pole of the other). If a current flows through the cable ring, the ring should start rotating against the laws of physics.

He is also the originator of the MAGVID (Magnetic Vortex Hyper-Ionization Device) construction.

Marinow believed he had found measuring methods to determine the relative speed of bodies in relation to a background or " ether ", and measured a relative earth speed of 360 km / s (± 30 km / s) assumed by him in Brussels in 1979. He is also convinced that he measured changes in the speed of light.
