anti gravity

there was another link on the msn headline about anti gravity being a possibility but i seem to have lost it cry:

anti gravity r0x0rs.

interesting...

[quote:3d0f2]The project is being run by the top-secret Phantom Works in Seattle, the part of the company which handles Boeing's most sensitive programmes.[/quote:3d0f2]

So top-secret that we hear about it eh lol...
eek:

oOo:

eek:

Seatle? Mabye Pfc. Green should become a tester by jumping off the Space Needle. cool:

Cool, so in the next 20 years or so well be hopping around like grass hoppers cool: .

Seriously though, what they hell would they use anti-gravity for, apart from launching mission to the moon.

Did you ever read Dick Tracy comics?

Yeah, but i was about 5, care to enlighten me?

ooOOoo, Controversy, Top-Secret stuff, Russians......Its the cold war all over again!

anti gravity is impossible

As I remeber Dick Tracy had little anti gravity platfroms that they would ride around on, along with a cool wrist communicator.

OOOOOoooo... Like that board in back to the future cool: . I gotta get me one of them.

Im gonna get me a DeLorean!

Make sure you get one with cocaine in the ashtray...oops I forgot they don't have ashtrays.

Cocaine? Yikes! oOo:

with anti gravity ima make myself an X-wing! biggrin:

I'll make myself float....The ladies will love me in bed!

And think about it, no more saggy breast on women.

No need for Viagra either.

forget X-Wings I'll take an SDF-1

Me gonna get a DeathStar. evil:

what about a flying challenger 2 or something. biggrin:

Personally I think it's BS. But someone asked what it could be used for. Think about it, if one could create something that produced anti-gravity, one would solve power issues. You could use a wheel and place the anti-gravity device under one side, this would cause the wheel to be pulled down on one side and on the other it could freely go up. Perpetual motion.

In fact with even a 2% reduction in gravity this should happen. The results would be small, but theoretically it would work. And that is why I feel it it BS. Newton's laws can't be beaten.

you are mistaken, a perpetual motion machine is one that needs no energy to keep moving, teh anti-grav device will require more energy than it would to just stick a motor on the wheel, so no it's not defying Newton's laws.

My bad, I completely forgot that the device that created the anti-gravity would need energy, and that would propel the enitire thing.

Thanks for the correction.

Hmmm, well apparantly - the americans have made anti-gravity and actually made something fly, wtf it is ill never know because i cant be assed to read it. But it looks cool.

check it out here... http://paranormal.about.com/gi/dynamic/ ... ity.com%2F

yea i found that page a while ago, i dont think its real. Theyre just trying to take your money.

yeah i got the same impression to - looks weird though.

Tape, tinfoil, and sticks. Notice how you never see the whole thing while its airborn.

As for this "gravity reduction" its practical use for such things as assiting aircraft to fly is odd at best. The weight of the ceramic plate, electromagnets, and coolant, in any size would by far outweigh the 2% gain. Weight of the equpiment, based on size dictated by application makes a small 2% gain meaningless. It cant even counter its own weight an object would gain by loading it in.

Perhaps if possible future models will up the power reduce the weight of the "anit-gravity" device and be a better option.

This of course could never boast a 100% return due to the laws of pyshics, the rotation of the earth it self and its path around the sun. Any object to acheive true levitation ie 100% anti-gravity, would fly off the planet. I wont go into the science of that but it is true.

u wached that levitation show
