This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by this website\. - [Home](https://www.altpropulsion.com/): APEC™ is the world's leading online conference for warp drives, gravity modification \& UAP physics research\. - [Stories](https://www.altpropulsion.com/stories/): View the latest stories in breakthrough propulsion and gravity research—from electrogravitics and inertial drives to superconductors, DNP/Alzofon, UAP detection, warp metrics, and energy generation\. Each section collects explainers, interviews, lab notes, replications, and critical reviews to help builders turn bold ideas into testable hardware\. - [Our Team](https://www.altpropulsion.com/team/): The APEC conference started during the Pandemic, when Mark Sokol, Jeremiah Popp, Tim Ventura \& Jeremy Rys started doing Zoom calls to discuss emerging concepts in propulsion physics\. That was November of 2020, and it didn't take long before word of mouth grew our meetings into a regular monthly call\. ## Posts - [APEC 7/11: Torsion Cavitation Drives, ZPF Tech \& Mass Displacement](https://www.altpropulsion.com/apec-7-11-2026/): Al Baur on Advancements in Electrostatic Levitation, Gabriel Dias will discuss Boundary Conditioned Vacuum Interaction Systems and ZPF Tech research, Jennifer Nielsen will discuss torsion cavitation drives in the TUFTS model of physics, and Denny Okudinani will be presenting on A Brief Historical and technical Look at Solid\-State Spatial Mass Displacement\. We’ll also hear updates from our lab partners, then close with an open discussion and Q\&A with attendees\. - [The Third Observable: Hypersonic Velocity without Signatures](https://www.altpropulsion.com/the-third-observable-hypersonic-velocity-without-signatures/): A UAP moving through the air at hypersonic speed should have a glowing plasma sheath and massive sonic boom, while one entering the ocean should produce impact forces, vapor, cavitation and an acoustic pulse\. Yet a recurring claim in the modern UAP literature describes objects that appear to do none of these things, which Lue Elizondo first popularized as "The Third Observable: Hypersonic Velocity Without Signatures\." Either the estimated velocities are wrong, the expected effects weren't detected, or the UAP simply isn't interacting with the surrounding medium in the way we expect\. The difference among those possibilities may be found not by staring harder at the object, but by measuring what happens to the air and water around it\. - [APEC 8/2: Electrostatic Levitation, 3I/ATLAS \& Propellantless Propulsion](https://www.altpropulsion.com/apec-8-2-2025/): Al Baur will be showcasing experimental advances in electrostatic levitation, John Brandenburg will be discussing The Physics of Time and An Examination of 3I/ATLAS and Charles Buhler will discuss "Exodus and the Third Order"\. - [Viktor Schauberger’s Repulsine: Exploring a Lost Propulsion Mystery](https://www.altpropulsion.com/viktor-schaubergers-repulsine-exploring-a-lost-propulsion-mystery/): Denny Okudinani’s presentation on Viktor Schauberger’s Repulsine offers a unique invitation to look again, build again, and give one of the most mysterious machines in alternative propulsion the patient, hands\-on treatment it’s rarely received\. With humor, historical curiosity, technical imagination, and sincere respect for Schauberger’s legacy, Okudinani doesn’t simply retell the Repulsine legend\. He brings it back to the workbench using 21st century tools and technology\. - [Todd Desiato's Operational Quantum Gravity For Engineers](https://www.altpropulsion.com/todd-desiatos-operational-quantum-gravity-for-engineers/): Todd Desiato isn't asking you to abandon Einstein \- just to imagine that the familiar bending of clocks and rulers may be the visible face of a deeper material process: matter settling into a different equilibrium with the vacuum around it\. If that reading can be tested, the first signs would not be a starship lifting from a pad, but a stubbornly universal shift in a clock, a spectral line, or a resonator—a tiny laboratory whisper that gravity\-like behavior can be spoken in the language of damping, noise, and scale\. ## People - [Mark Sokol](https://www.altpropulsion.com/people/mark-sokol/): Mark Sokol is an engineering\-driven experimentalist and technology leader working at the intersection of advanced propulsion R\&D and community\-based technical collaboration\. He is the Founder \& CEO of Falcon Space \(Hawthorne, New Jersey\) and a Co\-Founder of the Alternative Propulsion Engineering Conference \(APEC\), where he is also a frequent presenter, host, and contributor\. His work emphasizes hands\-on build/test execution, repeatable measurement, and clear documentation—helping bridge independent innovators, startups, and researchers who are exploring unconventional propulsion and advanced energy concepts\. - [Daniel Davis](https://www.altpropulsion.com/people/daniel-davis/): Daniel Davis is an independent, self\-directed researcher focused on advanced propulsion concepts and foundational questions in physics, with particular emphasis on warp drive models and Everettian \(many‑worlds\) quantum mechanics\. His work is oriented toward reframing warp drive research as a legitimate, interdisciplinary engineering\-and\-physics problem—one that spans spacetime geometry, quantum foundations, materials science, and experimental test design—rather than treating it as either distant science fiction or a purely speculative curiosity\. - [Jeremy Rys](https://www.altpropulsion.com/people/jeremy-rys/): Jeremy Rys, widely known online as Alien Scientist, is an independent physics researcher, media creator, conference organizer, and UFO/UAP transparency advocate whose work sits at the crossroads of experimental propulsion, classified technology history, fringe physics, and public disclosure\. A graduate of Bridgewater State University with a degree in Physics, Rys has spent decades researching deep\-state politics, classified scientific programs, advanced aerospace concepts, and the long public controversy surrounding UFOs, anti\-gravity, and reverse\-engineering claims - [Charles Buhler](https://www.altpropulsion.com/people/charles-buhler/): Dr\. Charles R\. “Charlie” Buhler is a physicist and electrostatics specialist associated with NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, where he has been publicly described as a lead research scientist in the Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory\. His NASA\-facing work centers on practical, mission\-relevant problems that show up whenever you combine sensitive hardware, harsh environments, and electric fields—especially electrostatic charging, discharge \(ESD\), and surface physics effects that can become real operational hazards\. - [Curtis Horn](https://www.altpropulsion.com/people/curtis-horn/): Curtis Horn is a physicist and licensed control systems engineer whose career and intellectual journey reflect a lifelong commitment to curiosity, rational thought, and practical problem\-solving\. His work spans theoretical physics, experimental research, and over two decades in applied engineering—often bridging the worlds of scientific imagination and technological implementation\. ## Categories - [Events](https://www.altpropulsion.com/events/) - [Physics Theory](https://www.altpropulsion.com/theory/) - [UAP Analysis](https://www.altpropulsion.com/analysis/) - [Field Effect](https://www.altpropulsion.com/field-effect/) - [Warp Drives](https://www.altpropulsion.com/warp-drives/) ## People Categories - [Guests](https://www.altpropulsion.com/people_cat/guests/) - [Team](https://www.altpropulsion.com/people_cat/team/)
