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

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.
