Abstract

In this work, we measured the magnitude of forces raised in the free fall of high magnetic field coupled magnets. By using a high accurate accelerometer connected to the falling magnets, we measured unexpected and weak decreasing or increasing in the local gravity acceleration which has no traditional explanation, indicating the possible influence of quantum mechanisms as responsible by the anomalous effect. We also propose a simple model based on the generalized quantum entanglement hypothesis which applied to that physical system provides us the magnitude of such a macroscopic force as originated by the microscopic magnetic dipoles constituting the magnets. The new results corroborated the positive results of previous experiments and are consistent with the validity of our theoretical forecast.
