HUTCHISON EFFECTERS – Dr Winston Bostick – Bob Greenyer, Dr Judy Wood, John Hutchison, Dr Ken Shoulders, Dubovik Kozyrev

Winston H. Bostick is best known as a mid-20th-century plasma physicist and plasmoid pioneer whose work is later cited by EVO / Hutchison / 9-11-DEW researchers, even though he personally died a decade before 9/11 and never worked on those topics.

Plasmoids, plasma guns, and plasma cosmology

Laboratory plasmoids and the “plasma gun”

In the mid-1950s at Livermore, Bostick developed a “plasma gun”—a device that fires bursts of ionised gas (plasma) across a magnetic field at very high speeds. His 1956 Physical Review paper “Experimental Study of Ionized Matter Projected across a Magnetic Field” is the classic reference. (APS Link)

Key experimental findings from that and follow-up work:

The gun projected ionised matter (metallic and deuterium ions) at speeds up to ~2×10⁷ cm/s (~450,000 mph). (WTC RESEARCH ALLIANCE)
Under suitable conditions, the plasma self-organized into compact, magnetically structured entities that moved coherently across magnetic fields. He named these entities “plasmoids”. (Wikipedia)
He characterised plasmoids as plasma-magnetic “strings” or toroidal structures with measurable size, translational speed, and magnetic moment that could reflect, interact and fragment. (APS Link)

His 1957 Scientific American article “Plasmoids” presented these ideas to a broad audience—showing images of plasmoids colliding, orbiting, and forming spiral patterns. (Scientific American)

Contemporary press (e.g. New York Times and regional papers) popularised this as “test-tube galaxies” and “creation of the universe duplicated in a test tube,” describing his plasmoid spirals as miniature analogues of galaxies. (Plasma Universe)

Plasma cosmology and Beltrami geometry

Bostick pushed his plasmoid work into cosmology:

In “Possible Hydromagnetic Simulation of Cosmical Phenomena in the Laboratory” (1958) he argued that plasmoid interactions could model aspects of galaxy formation, jets and cosmic structures, suggesting that magnetic processes might explain features usually attributed to gravity alone. (WTC RESEARCH ALLIANCE)
Later papers explored force-free magnetic fields, plasma vortices and “pair production of plasma vortices,” connecting them with Beltrami fields and non-Euclidean (Beltrami/Riemannian) geometry. (Cambridge University Press & Assessment)

This work is part of the background for plasma cosmology and for “Electric Universe” style models, which often cite Bostick to support the view that plasma and electromagnetism play a major role in structuring the cosmos. (Plasma Universe)

How later researchers connect Bostick to EVOs and Hutchison-style effects

Bostick himself worked in conventional lab plasma physics. The link to Hutchison effect, EVOs, and “strange radiation” comes from later interpreters:

Writers like Moray B. King and contributors to Thunderbolts/Electric-Universe materials treat Bostick’s plasmoids as the archetype of self-contained, long-lived energy clusters—ball-lightning-like plasma structures that can move coherently and interact in non-intuitive ways. (Thunderbolts)
Ken Shoulders, who coined “EV” and later “EVO” (Exotic Vacuum Object) for micron-scale charge clusters, referenced Bostick’s plasmoid imagery as mainstream confirmation that small, coherent plasma/magnetic entities can exist and leave characteristic impact marks. (Scribd)
In recent EVO-focused talks and slide decks, Bob Greenyer repeatedly points to Bostick’s plasmoid experiments and later micrographs (e.g. Bostick & Nardi’s work on electron-beam filaments) as precursors to the fractal toroidal clusters he associates with EVOs, ball lightning, and “disruption beams.” (Scribd)

Because Hutchison effect reports also involve anomalous material deformation, levitation, and apparent cold transmutation in electromagnetic setups, some researchers in that scene argue that Hutchison’s phenomena are caused by EVO-like or plasmoid-like entities, and they cite Bostick’s plasmoids as a laboratory precedent for such entities. (www.slideshare.net)

There is, however:

No evidence that Bostick ever collaborated with John Hutchison,
No record of Bostick personally endorsing or commenting on the “Hutchison effect,”
And no indication that he used the later EVO terminology.

The connection is conceptual and made post-hoc by others, not by Bostick himself. (Plasma Universe)

How 9/11 directed-energy narratives use Bostick’s work

Bostick died in 1991, ten years before 9/11, so he took no part in any WTC-related analysis. (Plasma Universe)

However, several 9/11 “energy weapon” discussions draw heavily on his papers:

A 2010 series by the WTC Research Alliance (“Were Nuclear Reactors the Cause…?”, “Were mini-nukes…?”, “Did Plasmoid Gas and Infrared Beams Cause the WTC Destruction?”) quotes extensively from Bostick’s 1956 and 1958 plasmoid work. (WTC RESEARCH ALLIANCE)
They reproduce his descriptions of plasma guns projecting ionised matter at ~450,000 mph, forming toroidal plasmoids that can cross magnetic fields and interact. (WTC RESEARCH ALLIANCE)
They then extrapolate: if plasmoids can be engineered and guided, they could—combined with infrared/laser beams—serve as a directed-energy mechanism to deconstruct large structures like the WTC towers.
That article links Bostick’s plasmoids to ball lightning, “orbs” seen in some 9/11 photos, and speculative “plasma beam” concepts, suggesting that orb-like plasmoids might have been used as energy carriers or targeting markers. (WTC RESEARCH ALLIANCE)
The same series cross-references Judy Wood & Morgan Reynolds’ “Star Wars Beam Weapons and Star Wars Directed-Energy Weapons (DEW),” which themselves cite Bostick’s NYT coverage and plasmoid work as evidence that high-energy plasma/beam weapons have been studied for decades. (WTC RESEARCH ALLIANCE)

So, within that 9/11-DEW discourse, Bostick appears as:

The early plasma gun / plasmoid pioneer, showing that coherent plasma structures can be launched, guided and made to interact,
A historical anchor for the idea that such structures could be weaponised or used in advanced propulsion/energy systems, even though his published work focuses on fusion and astrophysics rather than weapons. (APS Link)

Again, those 9/11 applications are speculations by later authors, not claims Bostick made.

Position in mainstream vs fringe interpretations

Mainstream physics view

Bostick is recognised as an important early figure in laboratory plasma physics, plasmoids, plasma focus devices, and the use of plasmas to model astrophysical phenomena. (Plasma Universe)
Some of his more ambitious cosmological ideas (e.g. magnetic explanations for Hubble expansion or plasma-based models of galaxies) are interesting but non-standard and are not part of the dominant cosmological model. (Wikipedia)

Fringe / alternative-physics view

He is treated as a foundational figure for:
Ball-lightning and microplasmoid models,
EVO / “charge cluster” / “energy cluster” ideas (Shoulders, King, Greenyer),
Plasma-based cosmologies and Electric-Universe narratives,
And as a historical justification in some Hutchison and 9/11-DEW frameworks. (Thunderbolts)

Where to read him vs where to see him reinterpreted

If you want to distinguish Bostick’s own voice from later reinterpretations, these are the key entry points:

Primary / mainstream sources (Bostick himself)

1956 – “Experimental Study of Ionized Matter Projected across a Magnetic Field,” Physical Review 104:292–299 – original plasma gun & plasmoid experiment. (APS Link)
1957 – “Plasmoids,” Scientific American 197(4):87–98 – non-technical overview with images of plasmoid dynamics. (Scientific American)
1958 – “Possible Hydromagnetic Simulation of Cosmical Phenomena in the Laboratory,” Rev. Mod. Phys. 30(3) – plasmoid-based galaxy / cosmology analogies. (adsabs.harvard.edu)
Later work on plasma focus and electron-beam filaments (e.g. Nardi, Bostick et al. 1980 Phys. Rev. A 22:2211–2217). (Scribd)

Biographical and interpretive overviews

Plasma-Universe biography and newspaper clippings – concise career summary, plus contemporary reports on “test-tube galaxies” and fusion work. (Plasma Universe)
“Plasmoids on the 100th Anniversary of Winston H. Bostick’s Birth” (Thunderbolts) – Electric-Universe-leaning retrospective emphasising plasmoids and plasma cosmology. (Thunderbolts)

Later speculative uses (EVO / DEW / Hutchison context)

Moray King’s plasmoid / microplasmoid presentations and writings – link Bostick’s plasmoids to ball lightning, micro-scale “charge clusters,” and anomalous energy phenomena. (www.slideshare.net)
Bob Greenyer’s EVO / “fractal toroidal moment” work (APEC talks, RemoteView/psionics slides) – uses Bostick’s plasmoid and electron-beam filament papers as historical support for EVO-like toroidal structures and potential propulsion/beam applications. (Scribd)
WTC Research Alliance’s “Did Plasmoid Gas and Infrared Beams Cause the WTC Destruction?” – applies Bostick’s plasmoid gun experiments to a 9/11 directed-energy scenario and cross-links to Judy Wood and other DEW material. (WTC RESEARCH ALLIANCE)

The short version is: Bostick’s original plasmoid work has become one of the foundational reference points for today’s EVO / “condensed plasmoid” enthusiasts, and a supporting precedent for some directed-energy (DEW) and 9/11 theories — even though Bostick himself never wrote about 9/11 or “DEWs” in that sense.

Below is how later researchers actually use him.

1. What Bostick actually did (baseline)

Winston H. Bostick was a mainstream plasma physicist. In the 1950s he used a “plasma gun” to fire ionized matter across magnetic fields and discovered that the plasma self-organized into compact, magnetically-bound structures he called plasmoids. He measured their speed, size, magnetic moment and behavior — including how they could travel across or along magnetic fields and interact with one another. (WTC RESEARCH ALLIANCE)

In a later paper he proposed that such plasmoids might even model cosmological structures (galaxies) in the lab. (WTC RESEARCH ALLIANCE) That’s all standard plasma physics — controversial in interpretation, but not “classified superweapon” research on its face.

Everything that follows is later people building on that.

2. Ken Shoulders: turning Bostick’s plasmoids into EVOs

Most of the modern EVO/DEW narrative runs through Kenneth R. Shoulders, who is repeatedly cited as the “father of EVOs.” A key LENR summary of “condensed plasmoids” explicitly says:

Shoulders began examining the plasma vortex filament work of Daniel R. Wells and Winston H. Bostick, and personal contact with Bostick led to his “discovery” (of condensed charge clusters / EVOs). (Condensed Plasmoids)

You can see the link inside Shoulders’ own technical trail:

In his later review/obituary, Shoulders’ work is explicitly connected to charge clusters, “condensed plasmoids” and high-density charge phenomena that many LENR people now treat as the same family of objects Bostick was seeing. (LENR-CANR)
One of the references in that review is a 1980 paper co-authored by V. Nardi, W. H. Bostick et al. in Physical Review A, documenting pulsed electrical discharges in vacuum and self-organized structures — exactly the kind of environment Shoulders later exploits for EVOs. (LENR-CANR)

So in the technical genealogy:

Bostick’s plasmoids → Wells/Bostick plasma vortex filaments → Shoulders’ “EVs/EVOs” → modern EVO/condensed-plasmoid literature.

Later EVO writers often treat Bostick as the “grandfather” who showed that toroidal or vortex-like plasma structures are real laboratory objects, not just theory.

3. Moray B. King: from Bostick’s plasmoids to zero-point & SDI

Moray B. King is one of the main popularizers of the idea that Bostick’s plasmoids are not just interesting plasmas, but gateways to vacuum energy and possibly weapons:

In his slide decks and talks on ball lightning and zero-point energy, King explicitly says ball lightning is a vortex ring plasmoid, and points back to Bostick’s laboratory work as the classic experimental evidence for plasmoids. (www.slideshare.net)
King also argues that by the 1970s much follow-on work on plasmoids and related phenomena became classified and folded into the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) / directed-energy programs, implying a weaponization path from Bostick’s plasmoid gun experiments. (www.slideshare.net)

In King’s framing, Bostick is:

the first to show controlled plasmoids (“artificial ball lightning”),
evidence that such entities can be guided, accelerated and possibly compressed,
and therefore plausible building blocks for both over-unity energy devices and advanced weapons.

Those conclusions are King’s; they go far beyond what Bostick himself published, but they are explicitly justified by pointing back to Bostick’s plasmoid experiments.

4. Bob Greenyer and APEC: plasmoids → EVOs → disruption beams

In Bob Greenyer’s APEC talk “Decoding EVOs” (summarized by Tim Ventura), Bostick shows up in a very specific way: (altpropulsion.com)

Greenyer describes Bostick as trying to convert hydrogen-bomb physics into domestic fusion energy, using plasma toroids he called plasmoids.
He highlights Bostick’s conclusion that these plasmoids might form the basis of matter itself and could enable ultra-fast propulsion, with speculative claims like “Mars in 13 days.”
Greenyer then identifies Bostick’s plasmoids with EVO-type toroidal structures, arguing that the same fractal toroidal patterns show up:
in Bostick plasmoids,
in Hutchison samples,
in cold-fusion/LENR materials,
and in the “disruption beams” he talks about.

In other words, Greenyer uses Bostick to:

Assert that toroidal plasma entities are experimentally real and controllable (Bostick’s contribution).
Fuse that with Shoulders-style EVOs and more esoteric “fractal toroidal” models.
Argue that those structures could act as beams capable of material disruption, propulsion and energy release, i.e., the kind of field effect later people label “DEW-like.” (altpropulsion.com)

So in Greenyer’s narrative line:

Bostick plasmoids → Shoulders EVOs → Hutchison effects / disruption beams → modern EVO/DEW speculation.

5. LENR & condensed-plasmoid researchers: Bostick as historic backbone

Within the broader LENR/“condensed plasmoid” community, Bostick is regularly invoked in historical overviews:

Lutz Jaitner’s “History of Condensed Plasmoids and LENR” explicitly puts Bostick in the chain, saying that Shoulders started from Wells/Bostick’s plasma vortex filament work and personal contact with Bostick. (Condensed Plasmoids)
Articles on condensed plasmoids and EVO-catalyzed fusion (e.g., George Egely’s ICCF-24 device) describe “condensed plasmoids” as self-organized electron/ion structures and credit Kenneth Shoulders, but also emphasize that similar structures have been “discovered and forgotten” repeatedly — Bostick’s experiments are one of the canonical rediscoveries in that list. (E-Cat World)

The pattern is:

Use Bostick as proof that coherent plasma toroids exist and can be launched from sharp electrodes into vacuum/magnetic fields.
Treat those as early examples of the same class of object that LENR systems and EVO devices supposedly rely on.
Extend their role from “curious plasma objects” to catalysts for nuclear reactions, transmutation and high-density energy phenomena.

This is not mainstream nuclear physics, but within LENR it’s common to see Bostick → Shoulders → modern EVO work treated as a continuous lineage. (LENR-CANR)

6. Defense, propulsion and “classified follow-on” narratives

A separate strand of later commentary — sitting between technical EVO talk and overt DEW speculation — frames Bostick as part of a Defense / SDI heritage:

Popular-science write-ups of Bostick describe his “plasma gun”: a vacuum chamber with a magnetic field, titanium wires, and a huge discharge current that created high-speed plasma puffs. Those puffs self-organized into shapes resembling galaxies and ring structures. (WTC RESEARCH ALLIANCE)
Some alt-physics authors use this to argue that such plasmoid guns and their descendants were recognized early on as having nuclear-weapons potential, and that later follow-on work was absorbed by defense programs (SDI, classified plasma-beam projects, etc.). (www.slideshare.net)

In parallel:

Modern discussions of EVOs and charge clusters in the LENR community point to Shoulders’ own statement that his EVO apparatus could be used not just for power and propulsion, but also weaponry, and note that his patents and experiments attracted attention from defense-linked actors. (LENR-CANR)

So Bostick ends up positioned as:

A mid-20th century proof-of-concept that you can fire coherent, self-focusing plasma structures — which later EVO/condensed-plasmoid advocates blend into a story about directed-energy research and classified applications.

7. 9/11, DEWs and “plasmoid gas + infrared beams”

Where Bostick and DEWs get explicitly tied together is in post-9/11 alternative literature, especially from the WTC Research Alliance:

In the article “Did Plasmoid Gas and Infrared Beams Cause the WTC Destruction?” the authors quote Bostick’s plasma-gun work at length. They emphasize his statements about:
projecting ionized matter at high speed,
the plasma forming a toroidal “plasmoid” that can cross magnetic fields,
plasmoids behaving as interacting, magnetized entities. (WTC RESEARCH ALLIANCE)
They then describe later accounts of Bostick-style lab setups where a plasma gun creates ring-like plasmoid clouds — explicitly likened to ball lightning and “orbs” — and use this to argue that such plasmoid clouds could be weaponized. (WTC RESEARCH ALLIANCE)

From there, the WTC article:

Conflates Bostick-type plasmoid clouds with “scalar clouds” and “plasmoid gas” hovering around the towers.
Links this to infrared or laser beams, drawing on Christopher Bollyn’s early “laser beam weapons” article and on Judy Wood & Morgan Reynolds’ “Star Wars Beam Weapons / DEW” work. (WTC RESEARCH ALLIANCE)
Proposes a combined mechanism where:

Directed beams intersect to form intense energy fields,
Plasmoid gas / orbs act as energy carriers or targeting markers,
And this combination dustifies the towers and disrupts electronics.

Here, Bostick’s research is used as an existence proof that:

“Plasmoid clouds and plasma guns are real, controllable physics, therefore some highly developed version could have been used as a directed-energy weapon on 9/11.”

It’s important to be clear: this is the WTC Research Alliance’s speculative interpretation, not a conclusion Bostick ever drew, and it is not accepted in mainstream investigations of 9/11. But in the DEW-oriented literature, Bostick is repeatedly cited as the experimental origin of plasmoid beams and plasmoid-like “orbs.” (WTC RESEARCH ALLIANCE)

8. How all of this fits together

Putting it all in one picture, later researchers use Bostick roughly like this:

Technical EVO lineage

Bostick’s plasmoids demonstrate coherent, toroidal plasma objects that can be launched, guided, and made to interact.
Ken Shoulders and colleagues build on that to develop EVO/charge-cluster tech, explicitly citing Bostick.
LENR and condensed-plasmoid researchers (Egely, Jaitner, etc.) treat EVOs/condensed plasmoids as central to anomalous nuclear effects, with Bostick as historical precedent. (LENR-CANR)

Zero-point, energy devices & “fractal toroidal” cosmology

Moray B. King uses Bostick’s plasmoids as the physical template for zero-point-coupled toroidal structures, ball lightning, and self-organizing plasmas, and suggests much of the follow-on research went classified into SDI. (www.slideshare.net)
Bob Greenyer integrates Bostick plasmoids into a broad “fractal toroidal moment” framework, tying them to EVOs, Hutchison effects, disruption beams and galactic-looking structures in LENR materials. (altpropulsion.com)

Directed-energy & 9/11 narratives

DEW-focused writers (WTC Research Alliance, Bollyn, and those citing Judy Wood) treat Bostick’s plasma gun and plasmoid clouds as early analogues of plasmoid gas weapons and plasmoid-enhanced beam systems.
They combine this with broader accounts of laser/infrared beam weapons and weather-control programs to propose plasmoid + beam mechanisms for the WTC destruction. (WTC RESEARCH ALLIANCE)

Across all of this, the core factual anchor remains Bostick’s published work on plasmoids in the 1950s. Everything else — EVOs, over-unity devices, and DEW or 9/11 scenarios — is later interpretation built on top of that experimental foundation by other researchers and authors.
