 Galvanotropism is the tendency of an organism to grow, twist, turn or
even move into certain relations with an electric current. Simple
examples of the effects can be seen on simple life forms. Even plants
can be used. Greater insight into these effects may help us to better
understand human and pet behavior as well as crop circle development
under direct contact with real flying saucers. Other types of currents
like Eddie currents may also be tested. Vines make an excellent choice.
Depending on AC rates and duty cycles these plants should grow
strangely. Short exposure DC current may alter the movements of small
insects like mites at angles very near the charged wire.  Larger scale
experiments require advanced equipment and testing. I propose that in
addition to electric propulsion systems testing that biological tests
of this kind can be conducted along side them since the propulsion
systems will effect the area near the testing zone.

Periodic Testing maybe useful in relation to health and safety concerns
for the lab workers. Data should be shared among scientists in other labs 
as well as the host lab. Perhaps even Internet sites with such data is 
foreseen by me. For education, health and safety at low or no cost it is 
a worthwhile venture.
