| Abstract: | We observed the behavior of the pointer of an asymmetric torsion balance (TB) at solar eclipse dates and on other off-eclipse days. A peculiar reaction of the miniature TB different from its reaction at off-eclipse time was recorded for some solar eclipses. The relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun are among the possible factors affecting the position of the TB pointer. A time shift between the maximum phase of a solar eclipse and the maximum TB reaction was detected. We conclude that base observations of such phenomena from different points of the terrestrial globe are necessary. |
