Scientific paper

The Eötvös, Dicke, and Braginski experiments do not rule out the recent suggestion that the weak equivalence principle (WEP) might be violated at intermediate ranges (10-1 m ≲r ≲ 104 m). I briefly discuss the problems inherent in Eötvös-type apparatus in searches for WEP-violating forces (“hyperforces”) between laboratory masses and suggest an alternative detector free of such problems. The proposed detector is driven by a “hyperforce” torque at the rotational frequency. If the detector is tuned to this frequency, the signal, enhanced by resonance, may be detected synchronously. I derive the response equations for the detector and discuss how spurious responses due to gravity torques may be suppressed.
