摘要: An estimate for the gravitationally induced electric field is presented that based on a statistical model electrons in metal which their long-range electrostatic interaction with differentially compressed lattice of positive ions taken into account. The upward direction and estimated to be order magnitude $E\ensuremath{\approx}\frac{\mathrm{Mg}}{e}$, where $M$ atomic mass, $e$ electronic charge, $g$ acceleration due gravity. For copper, $E\ensuremath{\approx}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}7}$ V/m. earlier by Schiff Barnhill gives downward equal $\frac{\mathrm{mg}}{e}$, $m$ mass electron. difference between our result theirs different treatments effect compressibility.
