Build Flying Saucers?
Did OTC Enterprises of Apple Valley California succeed in developing a mind-operated "Circular Foil Craft" that transported Ralph Ring and two other men ten-miles away and back at the speed of thought?
Start a "Pod"
"Pods" is the name that Ralph has given those groups of hobbyists who are researching the viability of Carr's design, hoping to ultimately construct an operational craft. Many have requested to join a pod in their city; but, there are very few people in the world who are actually researching, testing, and building. Ralph Ring calls these groups "Pods". They have offered to councel new Pods, individuals or groups to help them get started, provided they've already taken action: built a component, tested a concept or theory related to the OTC-X1, etc. Do you think you can figure how and whether it can levitate? Do you want to start your own Pod and build your own first real spacecraft? Then you're in the right place. This website contains most, if not all, of the information related to Otis T. Carr and his design. Good luck.
Dimensions of Mystery
Dimensions of Mystery was written in 1958 by the late Otis T. Carr, who passed in 1983. The language used in this collection of poems borrows from terminology used by the Rosicrucian order. A Rosicrucian himself, Carr used it to encode the secrets of constructing a fully-operational circular foil craft. Ralph Ring has stated that when the time is right, when humanity is ready, we'll figure it out. Are you ready?
Carr's Toy Kit Plans
Otis T. Carr's Toy Kit Plans includes drawings & instructions on how to build a model of the OTC-X1. The pods began their research by studying this document and using it as a guide to design and construct of their versions of Carr's prototype.
US Patent 2,912,244
Carr's US PATENT for his AMUSEMENT DEVICE. This is an amusement park ride that is anchored to the ground and not capable of flight. Those wishing to construct an operational craft should note that all bearings and wheels used in this device to facilitate rotation would not be part of an operational craft.
Tesla's Notes on Forbe's Unipolar Dynamo
For any serious hobbyist interested in constructing a model that will invoke rotation and counter-rotation of the two main parts of the OTC-X1 craft, this paper is essential reading.
OTC-X1 Machine Shop Design Schematics
These drawings have been provided by a pod member. They were used by machine shops to mill the components of his model. If you decide to construct a craft, this set of dimensions is just one implementation of Carr's design. They provided provide a mere glimpse into the complexity involved in designing and constructing such a craft. Rest assured this is an expensive hobby.
Atoms for Peace
This is piece of marketing collateral is indicative of the atomic age mind-set. Carr designed, printed, and used this 4-color pamphlet during his promotional creative fund-raising efforts for OTC, Enterprises. His vision and hope for the future included a large manufacturing facility for free energy or zero-point systems and electro-magnetic gravity-defying flying saucers.
Hollow UTRON Concept
One of the pod members graciously provided a 3D conceptual rendering of a hollow UTRON. The hollow should be spherical in shape, not conical, as is depicted in the drawing.
! ! ! WARNING ! ! !
Do not attempt to fill hollow aluminum UTRONS with mercury. MERCURY DISSOLVES ALUMINUM.
The UTRONic effect
Invented by Otis Carr, The UTRONIC Effect is purported to be the secret behind the perpetual powering of his craft. Walter Baumgartner had built a prototype, to explore the X1 and this effect. Did Carr actually figure out how to gently crack the egg of the atom for zero-point energy?
Ralph Ring Videos
Ralph Ring claims to be one of three men who boarded and operated a large Circular Foil Craft, the OTC-X1, before the US Government raided Carr's facility in Apple Valley, CA, to confiscate all materials; cart away two 45' craft on lowboy trucks; and disband the group as a threat to the monetary system. Was this action a result the technology or Carr's troubles with the SEC?
