Jeremiah Popp
Jeremiah Popp is an independent experimenter, engineer, and consultant specializing in breakthrough propulsion technologies and gravity modification. Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he has built a career that bridges conventional electrical trades with bold investigations into frontier science. As the founder of Join The Technicians and proprietor of Exotic Propulsion Technologies, Popp has dedicated his professional life to both precision engineering and adventurous experimentation. His work reflects a blend of disciplined technical expertise and the restless curiosity needed to explore phenomena that lie outside traditional aerospace and physics research.
Professional Foundations in Calibration and Electrical Work
Jeremiah’s professional journey spans nearly two decades in the electrical and calibration trades. From 2004 to 2021, he worked as an electrical technician across Wisconsin and Illinois, developing hands-on skills in troubleshooting, repair, and system optimization. He also served for over eight years as a calibration technician and engineer at Cal Lab Co., Inc., where he specialized in precise measurement systems, a role that demanded rigorous technical standards and accuracy. This experience sharpened his ability to distinguish meaningful experimental results from background noise—a skill that would prove essential in his later propulsion research.
His technical background is complemented by expertise in electronics repair, computer repair, and soldering, forming the foundation of his practical approach to engineering. Along the way, he also gained experience as a battery restoration technician at Interstate Batteries, demonstrating his versatility across different facets of applied electrical work.
Builder, Innovator, and Educator
In 2018, Jeremiah launched Exotic Propulsion Technologies as a sole proprietorship, focusing on consulting and experimental design in alternative aerospace concepts. His work often involves high-voltage systems, gravity-related experiments, and speculative propulsion devices. He approaches these projects with the same rigor he developed in calibration engineering, while also embracing the creative freedom of independent research.
As the founder of Join The Technicians, Popp also plays a role as a community educator and builder. The platform encourages DIY science enthusiasts to engage with advanced technologies by teaching practical engineering methods and showcasing bold experiments. Its motto, “We build outrageous gadgets and teach you how to do the same,” captures Jeremiah’s philosophy of hands-on learning and open exploration.
Collaborator in Anti-Gravity Experiments
Jeremiah has also been a collaborator in anti-gravity and exotic propulsion experiments, working alongside other independent researchers such as Mark Sokol of Falcon Space. Together, they have explored experimental concepts like the Warp Drive Detector, a device modeled after interferometry techniques used by LIGO, designed to detect distortions in space-time caused by exotic fields. Their work builds on the controversial claims of pioneers like Dr. Frederick Alzofon, who reported transient weight reduction effects in the 1980s and 1990s.
While these modern replications have faced the same experimental challenges of measurement accuracy and reproducibility, Jeremiah’s expertise in calibration and precision testing has been invaluable. In some trials, results suggested weight fluctuations approaching twenty percent, though always near the threshold of experimental uncertainty. Popp’s involvement highlights his unique role as both a technical specialist and an adventurous explorer of scientific frontiers—committed to testing bold ideas with rigor and transparency.
Participation in the APEC Conference
Jeremiah is also an active participant in the Alternative Propulsion Engineering Conference, an international forum that brings together scientists, engineers, and independent inventors to discuss the future of advanced propulsion. At APEC, he has shared insights from his own research, discussed the practical challenges of building and testing exotic propulsion devices, and engaged in collaborative dialogue with other pioneers in the field.
His contributions to the conference emphasize his dual role as both an experimenter and communicator, bringing a wealth of hands-on expertise in electrical systems while also helping to advance the collective understanding of frontier science. Through APEC, Jeremiah has become part of a global network of innovators exploring technologies that could one day revolutionize aerospace, energy, and our understanding of physics itself.
Exploring the Unknown
Jeremiah Popp stands at the intersection of technical precision and visionary inquiry. His career illustrates how a strong foundation in electrical trades and calibration can evolve into a platform for groundbreaking exploration of exotic propulsion. Through his consulting work, community outreach, and personal research, he continues to contribute to the growing movement of independent engineers investigating gravity control, warp field concepts, and advanced propulsion technologies.
In short, Popp exemplifies the spirit of the independent innovator: rigorous enough to maintain credibility, curious enough to explore the unknown, and generous enough to share his journey with others.
