Scientific paper

An experiment is proposed for measurement of the gravitational mass of the self-energy of the earth. If the equivalence principle fails at this level, the earth will exhibit an anomalous acceleration toward the sun, compared to bodies of laboratory size. An apparatus is suggested for detection of this acceleration, consisting of an asymmetric dumbell which is free to rotate about a point fixed with respect to the earth. An analysis of disturbing forces indicates that a measurement of sufficient sensitivity should be feasible.
