This makes me sad.

I personal passion led me into this realm of science, among others. When I am explaining my framework to people they are all in. Then they start reading my monograph and they either ignore me from that point on or try and argue that I am wrong and use my chosen profession as a cheap out of the conversation. I also get the “you’re just an independent researcher” so I must be wrong.

I have come to discover my lack of formal research knowledge due to getting a professional degree rather than a scientific one, I blurred the lines and did not stay in one discipline to answer my question. Most people have zero knowledge of what a dashpot is or even the name James Clerk Maxwell.

Then to discover this subreddit is empty…

Challenging the Biophysical Orthodoxy: A Call for Open-Source Validation of Spinal Electromechanical Generation.

The prevailing model of the human spine treats it as a passive load-bearing structure. My research proposes a radical alternative: the human spine as a macroscopic piezoelectric and electro-hydrodynamic power plant.

The framework predicts a verifiable phenomenon that current anatomical models omit: the spinal canal functions as a Maxwell Body, converting physiological oscillation into a quantifiable, longitudinal DC biopotential field.

The Hypothesis: Human bipedal gait, cardiac ballistics, and paraspinal micro-tremors create rhythmic mechanical shear stress against the dural-pial interface. This motion provides the necessary shear to strip hydration shells from magnesium complexes and generate a streaming current.

The Challenge: I am seeking collaboration with a research laboratory capable of SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) magnetometry or distributed fiber-optic calorimetry to empirically validate this model.

  • The Prediction: A rhythmic magnetic flux in the picotesla range (10^-12 T) synchronized with the gait cycle, distinct from surface EMG artifacts.
  • The Incentive: The first lab or graduate candidate to empirically isolate this flux and successfully correlate it with spinal oscillatory frequency will be the foundational partner in the validation of this framework.

The governing equations for this flux are available for open-source testing. If you have the magnetometry or calorimetry equipment and are interested in high-impact, non-incremental research, let’s test the hypothesis that the human spine functions as an active biological battery.

Are you ready to test the physics? DM me for the full technical breakdown.
