Mindbending: The Hutchison Files: 1981 to 1995

We first called it the Lift and Disruption System and later the Hutchison Effect. The latter name stuck due to the impossibility of neatly categorizing just what was going on around John Hutchison in the years following 1980. And what was going on around John Hutchison was bizarre in the extreme. As with anything outside the realm of everyday experience, the Hutchison story eventually takes on mythical properties. It is a goal of this book to reduce the mythological aspects of the early years of the Hutchison Effect and the man John Hutchison. This is not in any way meant to minimize the unbelievable nature of the manifestations attendant upon the Hutchison Effect, but merely to supply history with an account of this fascinating man and his accomplishments. What is the Hutchison Effect? It is a collection of phenomena lying far outside our normal experience and understanding. Its primary manifestations include causing (or allowing) objects of any material to lift into the air either in a vertical or looping trajectory or to hover; severely disrupting intermolecular bonds in any material resulting in catastrophic disruptive fracturing; causing plastic deformation in metals; producing unusual magnetic effects in metals; creating unusual aurora-like lighting effects in mid-air; and inducing changes in the chemical composition of metals. All these effects were produced on test samples placed on a rough wooden table where the closest piece of John’s apparatus was several feet away. No connections were made to the samples whatsoever and the entire apparatus operated from one or two household electrical outlets.
