Jeffrey N. Cook (who presents as Jeff Cook) is an American inventor, independent researcher, mathematician and theorist working outside of institutional science. He is known for experimental work on the Biefeld-Brown Effect and on pulsed-inductor magnetic machines, for two granted United States patents on magnetic propulsion and inverted-gyroscopic precession, and more recently for a claimed elementary arithmetic operation he calls the annarithm, which he proposes as a modelling tool for physics.

Biography

Mr. Cook is an inventor, researcher, mathematician, theorist, philosopher, writer and musician, largely interested in the sciences, speculation, effects and anomalies involving Gravity and Electrogravity, Zero Point Energy and Synthetic Life. He is most well known for what is referred to as the "Jeff Cook Effect," a term he actually dislikes, as it tends to place an anomalism on his work, such that it may be misunderstood to be variant.

He was born to James L. and Jean M. Cook at a Toledo hospital on November 12th, 1971, and lives in Maumee, Ohio.

Former Occupations: Polysomno Technologist, Software Engineer, and more

He is a longtime participant in the natural-philosophy community, having presented papers to the Natural Philosophy Alliance from 2010 onward and, more recently, in the CNPS online seminar series.

Scientific contributions

Experimental electrogravitics and pulsed-inductor machines

Cook's earliest wiki-archived work is experimental rather than theoretical. In his 2011 paper Experiment of the Biefield-Brown Effect using Symmetric Plate Capacitors Charged below 35kV, he set out to test the well-documented observation that asymmetric capacitors exhibit a net force in the direction of their charge when high voltages are applied. Rather than accept the usual dismissal of the effect as nothing but ion wind, Cook built and instrumented nine separate capacitor designs under strict experimental controls in order to establish where ion-wind contributions actually dominate and where they do not. He reported that the "skin effect" of a charged metal, together with the electrical breakdown distances of the dielectric materials, offers guidance toward better designs. Characteristically, he declined to claim more than his data supported: the paper explicitly neither rules in nor rules out the exclusivity of ion wind, but identifies the conditions under which ion wind is a critical block to future technologies and the conditions under which it is not.

In 2012 he reported on an apparatus combining a pulsed inductor with five reversible DC motors used as generators, coupled by belts to ring magnets suspended above the inductor at ninety degrees to its radius. Pulsing the inductor set the magnets into motion; the belts confined the recovered energy to rotation alone, turning the generators on an electrically separate circuit. Across many waveform iterations and generator counts he measured a coefficient of power (power out divided by power in) greater than unity above a threshold input frequency and below a threshold input power — a result bearing on claims of over-unity and Zero Point Energy extraction.

Cook's handling of this result is notable in its own right. Rather than let the claim stand, he published a follow-up paper the same year, Measurement Error Discovered in the Paper "Experiment on the Linear Increase in Efficiency with Multiple Moving Magnets over Pulsed Inductors", in which he reported that an important input-power measurement error had been found in his own work and that the experimental results would need to be retested and the paper appended. He noted that the apparatus design itself was successful and that the exponential — rather than merely linear — scaling of efficiency with generator count and frequency survived the correction, but he withdrew the over-efficiency conclusion pending retest. Self-correction of this kind is uncommon in the free-energy literature and is one of the reasons his experimental papers are taken seriously within the community.

A unit-derivation for the vacuum field

In A Unit-Derivation for the Vacuum Field (2012), Cook takes a more foundational line. Using gauge theory and the Euler-Lagrange method, he derives a Lagrangian intended to cover all known fields of force — and, he argues, any that might yet be discovered — and shows that their sum equals the vacuum field of force. The striking consequence he draws is dimensional: the vacuum field can be measured in kilograms per second, and what interacts within it is velocity itself. On this reading the vacuum is not a passive backdrop but an interaction of motion, and is the foundation, or equivalently the result, of every other field of force. He presents the derivation as a route to a more accurate gauge theory of the nature of fields of force generally.

Endodrift upground reservoir hypothesis

Cook's 2011 Endodrift Upground Reservoir Hypothesis applies the same investigative habit to an environmental problem. After learning that Clyde, Ohio — less than an hour from his home — had been classified a cancer cluster with no identified cause, he conducted a cursory survey of the area on New Year's Day. He was careful in the paper to disclaim expertise in either oncology or environmental science, and declined to endorse or reject the causes being floated in press coverage (local factories, a deep waste dump, the water supply). What he did note is that the pattern was inconsistent with slow, long-term natural environmental causes: the town's population had been growing for decades, while the rise in cases began around 2000 and peaked in 2005 and 2006.

Patents

Cook holds two granted United States patents, both concerning unconventional magnetic mechanics:

  • Mechanism for causing propulsion of a magnet (US 8,847,717 B2, filed 20 February 2013, granted 30 September 2014) describes a geometry in which a hole through a magnet is aligned with its polarity. When a smaller "motive magnet" is pushed through the hole of a larger fixed magnet past a threshold point, the unfixed magnet experiences a net thrust away from the fixed magnet. Cook stresses that specific geometric conventions must be maintained, distinguishing the effect from ordinary attraction or repulsion alone.
  • Mechanism for causing inverted-gyroscopic precession (US 9,561,445 B2, filed 26 May 2015, granted 7 February 2017, assigned to Pebblebrook Toys Inc.) describes two ring magnets, inner and outer, with opposite poles facing, arranged with sufficient "mechanical give" that applying force causes the inner magnet to precess while counter-rotating against the outer one. Because the rotating mass sits outside rather than inside the gyroscopic frame, the device responds to linear force rather than requiring precessional input, with proposed uses in fitness equipment, toys, machinery and aerospace.

Exponential decay, the Riemann hypothesis and annarithms

From 2013 Cook turned to number theory. His paper On Exponential Decay and the Riemann Hypothesis, posted to viXra in January 2013 and revised through thirteen versions to January 2014, constructs what he calls a Riemann operator that removes sequential elements from a decaying set by prime factorization, producing "exponential decay with zero degeneration." A second operator is associated with the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. Cook then embeds a statistical oscillation function within a Laplace transform expression to connect the two, arguing that the period of the oscillation is defined and derived by the eigenvalues of the one operator and the elements of the other. He claims this constitutes a proof of the Riemann hypothesis, proceeding by way of algebraic paradoxes that he says arise whenever the real part is taken to be other than one-half.

This line of work led to his current subject. Cook reports having identified a basic and fundamental arithmetic operator not previously described in the literature, which he terms the annarithm (with an inverse he calls the opponent). It is centred on the process of repeated self-division. He argues that this is a very natural way to describe a range of physical and mathematical processes — exponential decay, the propagation of light, fractal growth and others — and that it therefore constitutes a new mathematical tool for exploring theoretical physics models and alternative theories. This was the subject of his January 2026 CNPS presentation.
