'''John Hutchison''' is a Canadian inventor who claims to have discovered the [[Hutchison effect]] in 1979. Hutchison is known for his experiments involving high-voltage equipment, including [[Van de Graaff generator|Van de Graaff generators]] and [[Tesla coil|Tesla coils]], which he alleges led to unusual electromagnetic phenomena. His claims have been dismissed by many [[mainstream scientists]], but they remain a subject of interest in discussions of [[exotic technology]] and [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]].

== Experiments ==
Hutchison's experiments reportedly involved the simultaneous operation of multiple high-voltage devices, creating conditions under which the alleged effects of the [[Hutchison effect]] occurred. Hutchison claims that these phenomena include levitation, [[metal bending]], and [[cold fusion|fusion]] of dissimilar materials.

== Reception ==
Despite Hutchison's claims, critics argue that his demonstrations lack scientific rigor and that the effects can be explained by experimental error, illusion, or deliberate hoax. No independent verification of the [[Hutchison effect]] has been conducted under controlled conditions.

== Alleged suppression ==
Hutchison and his supporters allege that evidence of the [[Hutchison effect]] has been suppressed by scientific and governmental bodies to prevent the dissemination of potentially revolutionary technology. These claims align with broader [[conspiracy theories involving exotic technology]].

== Cultural impact ==
John Hutchison has been a polarizing figure, frequently cited in discussions of [[fringe science]] and [[pseudoscience]]. His work has gained attention in media and communities interested in [[non-mainstream physics]] and [[unconventional technology]].
