The things the Hutchison Effect has achieved include levitation, strange physical changes in metals, and other odd effects. He has somehow gotten totally different materials, like wood and metal, to interpenetrate each other, not by displacement but by some kind of interlacing of their atomic structures. 

The Hutchison Effect is a collection of phenomena which were discovered accidentally by John Hutchison during attempts to study the longitudinal waves of Tesla back in 1979. The Hutchison Effect occurs as the result of radio wave interferences in a 3 dimensional zone space volume radiated by two or more high voltage sources, usually a Van de Graff generator, and two or more Tesla coils. The results are levitation of heavy objects, fusion of dissimilar materials such as metal and wood. The anomalous melting (without heating) of metals without burning adjacent material, spontaneous fracturing of metals (which separate by sliding in a sideways fashion), and both temporary and permanent changes in the crystalline structure and physical properties of metals.  The fusion of dissimilar materials, which is exceedingly remarkable, indicates clearly that the Hutchison Effect has a powerful influence on intermolecular forces. Dissimilar substances such as steel and copper or wood can simply "come together," yet the individual substances do not dissociate.

"The original way that Hutchison set out his range of apparatus was, by industrial standards, primitive and crowded, with poor connections and hand-wound coils. But it was with this layout with its erratic standards that he obtained most of the best examples of objects levitating, despite the fact that the maximum power drawn was 1.5 kilowatts, and this from the ordinary power sockets of the house mains."

These crude ways seemed better adept at tapping into the vast power all around us. The watts produced in a lab, however, would be infinitesimal compared to the potential in the atmosphere. The estimated power in the atmosphere is best demonstrated during a thunderstorm in which lightning streaks across the sky with infinitely more watts of electricity- enough to scramble radios and other equipment dozens of miles away, enough to destroy trees and houses and melt sand into glass.

A block of wood can simply "sink into" a metal bar, yet neither the metal bar nor the block of wood come apart or carbonize. On the lower left corner of the photo, you may see the imprint left over by coins which were sitting on top of the steel bar during the effect.
