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.
