Allais Effect : Points To An Active Gravity Based On Motion

In 1954 Maurice Allais, a Nobel Prize winning economist was indulging his hobby of physics. He was observing a pendulum over a period of 30 days. Coincidentally during the observation period a solar eclipse occured. When the moon moved in front of the sun, the pendulum unexpectedly speeded up. He personally confirmed the results again in 1959. He was then joined by NASA and scientists around the world in recreating and confirming the pendulum did in fact speed up during eclipses. Hence the phenomenon was given the name of the " Allais Effect".

Well? According to Einstein's General Relativity Theory, the pendulum should not have speeded up . If any influence was to be predicted, it would have been a slowing influence. An eclipse's influence on the gravitational balance of the earth and sun should not exert an active force to speed up the pendulum. But suppose gravity is a active force based on motion rather than based primarily on mass? Isn't gravity on our own planet a function of a spinning motion? Suppose gravity exerts an active force of leverage created by the spinning of the body or its movement past another body? Then the " Allais Effect" could be explained in terms of resonance- I.E. the sun's spinning motion enhanced and enlarged by the addition of the moon's own spinning and passing motion combining together to speed up the pendulum. Like a breeze passing through the blades of a windmill. Another example would be a parked large truck. A bike rider passes it without consequence. Start the truck and then have it catch up with the bike rider and then pass it at a significant faster speed. The bike will be dramatically effected. The speed of mass is a more active force than mass at rest.
