Whatever Happened to Antigravity?

:sunny:
Have you ever wondered whatever became of Anti-Gravity re-search? So many newspaper articles back in the 1950's were saying it was just around the cornor, so to speak, soon we would all be floating to work-n-play in our anti-gravity cars! and then... Nothing!

Here is a list of some re-search papers I bought from a company called Rex Research back in the late 1980's when I was investigating UFO's and their possible propulsion methods!

1. Brown, Townsend; Electrokinetic Propulsion, 6 U.S. patents.

2. Brush, Charles; Discussions of a Kinetic Theory of Gravitation, 77 pgs.

3. Carr, Otis; the Ultron, detailed instructions for an "Ultron" powered craft, this info disappeared from public access after 1960.

4. Coler, Hans; the Stromzeuger... From technical data plundered from Germany after WWII, the original model was destroyed by the SS in 1945 to prevent it from falling into Russian hands, from papers salvaged, it was believed to work on the principal of the "Barkhausen effect".

5. Dean, Norman; the Dean Drive... A System for converting Rotary Motion into Unidirectional Motion. the proto-type model weighed 135 lbs. & dropped to 50 lbs when activated.

6. De Palma, Bruce; the N-Machine, Supppressed by the U.S. Dept. of Defense in 1982.
Somehow information on this principal made it's way into the Public Domain via the W.L.P.O. in 1986. the N-effect produces weight-loss & levitation.

7. Nipher, Dr. Francis; Electro-Gravitics & Energy Shielding Gravity Effects... experiments with alternating current that not only nullified gravity, but actually reversed it! This is the basis for T. Browns experiments!

8. SEARL, John; Levitation Disc Generator, Searl discovered this phenomenon during tests of a novel form of electrical generator carried on between 1946 - 1952. Britain secretized it & Almost all documents were destroyed in a fire in 1983.

9. Seike, Sinichi; G-Power Generator - Gravity power generator producing energy from the manipulation of positrons or "an unoccupied state of negative energy".

10. Smith, Wilbert B: In the 1950's Smith successfully repeated the Fisher-Hooper experiment ( the motional electric field ) while working for the Canadian government, the results of his work looked quite promising for the control of Gravity, unfortunately he died in 1959

ALSO See... the Gravity RAND Report ( 1976 ) Development of electrodynamic propulsion & gravity control, including... High-K dielectrics, Gravitic Isotopes, Mozer's Quantum Mech approach to negative mass... Beam's gravity effects, Deser & Arnowitz; link between gravity & nuclear energy & Much More!!!

Everyone knows where the technology went. The earth's rotation flung it into outer space to never be seen again.

 

Ummm, not really...

That is the same sort of logic saying that if we jumped into the air we technically should be at least 300 feet from where we started. We aren't.

You see, in simple physics, an object in motion remains in motion.

So, the anti-gravity, when flipped on, is still moving at the same speed as the earth, so it wouldn't be "flung off" as you have suggested

:afro:

 

The only thing preventing stuff from being flung off right now is gravity. Turn it off, and... bye-bye.

Clearly anti-gravity research is successful, because all anti-gravity researchers disappear (flung off) as soon as they get the equipment working.

 

Again, this wouldn't happen.. It's like jumping.. You flip on the anti-gravity and it's still moving at the same speed as the earth. Simple physics

 

Don't tell me it's "simple physics" when you don't understand the most basic laws of motion.

The Earth rotates. Moving in a circle (because of the rotating Earth) requires the application of a force. That force is gravity. Remove gravity, and there is nothing to make you move in a circle. You would continue to move in a straight line, taking you away from the surface of the Earth. In other words, "centrigugal force" will fling you off without gravity.

 

Well gravity isn't the reason the earth rotates. Its revolving around the Sun is the result of gravity.

 

Both those statements are true. And irrelevant.

 

Just clarifying your statement. I think it's relevant people know the difference between revolve and rotate.

 

You understand, don't you, that I'm talking about the Earth rotating on its axis, not about it revolving around the Sun?

 

Yes Keith, I want to make sure others know that as well. A lot of people get that shit confused, I want to make sure it's clear.

 

Gotcha. Thanks.

 

It DOESN'T matter! An object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external source.

If the anti-gravity STARTS on earth, then it will have the same momentum, it is simple physics....

HOW is this difficult?

I mean, just because you flip the switch on the antigravity, do you fly off the planet?

UNLESS you are antigravity, and you STOP all external forces, then you might find yourself flung into the sun...

BUT, the laws of physics say THAT is not possible!

 

The Earth turns! You are on the Earth's surface. So you have to go around in circles with it.

Going in circles requires a force because an object in motion stays in motion, in a straight line, unless a force acts on it. A circle is not a straight line, so it requires a force. Why is this hard??

The reason you don't normally fly off the Earth is because gravity provides the necessary force. Without gravity, you remain in motionin a straight line, while the Earth's surface rotates away from you.

 

Put down the salvia and step away!

 

Yeah, they don't seem to understand, that even if you took away gravity, you would still be moving at the same speed, as the earth is rotating, you would need to not just remove gravity, but have some other force stop you to really go flying away, and it wouldn't really be you moving if it was you that was stopped, it would be the earth racing away... :afro:

 

Clearly you don't understand Newton's laws of motion. Pity, as this is a science forum.

 

Except that it also begins moving away from earth.

The reason that you are on earth is that your matter is attracted to earth's matter. If you turn that around, they repulse each other, and you will "fall" off the face of the earth, literally. You won't even keep orbiting the sun, because orbit is an effect of.... gravity.

You'll go and keep going, just like voyager.... only faster.

Now, if you simply turned gravity OFF, instead of turning it to ANTI-gravity, then yes, your position would remain pretty much constant with relation to earth, and would be mediated by friction. You could pretty much float.

Aside from that, the reason the research ended is that we got a better understanding of the fact that there's no gravitational loop-hole. You can have matter, but if you have matter, you have the appropriate amount of gravity. You can't turn it off, and you can't reverse it. There are ways that you can put energy into fighting it, but there is no magical switch that doesn't take an ongoing expenditure of energy to actively combat gravity.

 

Yep.. All UFO designs had twin turbine fans on them..

See: Avro Arrow Car etc...

But yes, anti gravity isn't really possible either, at least if you listen to NASA...

I guess you are right.. I wasn't considering that it turned off Gravity more or less it just pushed itself away.. if course if you turned OFF gravity completely, you would go flying away.. However, that was not my main perception on what "anti gravity" was. :afro:
