Abstract
This paper reviews an experiment conducted by Dr. Wistrom and Dr. A.V.M. Khachatourian who were searching for a workable general solution to three-body particle interactions. The theory they put forth is that an asymmetric electrostatic charge distribution among three or more spherical conductive objects will cause a constant torque to be expressed as a direct consequence of the Coulomb force and Gauss' law of electric potential. Three-body interactions are not simply an extension of proven two-body interactions. This includes both molecular and everyday macroscopic objects. Their theory states that, for a fixed voltage, a value for the observed electrostatic torque is proportional to the inverse of the fourth power of the separation distance. The key to this theory is that charge distribution is not necessarily equal over the entire surface of a conducting sphere under all circumstances. The experiments that were conducted all involved three conducting spheres. Dr. Wistrom's initial experiments were quite simple yet showed measurable results.
