I found this surfing last night. I don't know that much about physics but take a look and put in your two cents.

Anything store on a web-site called Consiprsys Cafe I'm very distrustful because Cafe is a French term and thus my logic begins and ends there

lol. Theres more work that has to go in anti grav. We're just not up to it yet.

I very much agree with you, I mean we can't control or decide how gravity it's self works, how the hell are we meant to understand/create it's oposite

Obviously someone wants to try.

The BBC reported that just over a year ago, BAE Systems started research into an AG device, Boeing are just following suit.

I suppose I should point out that optimistic Harvard MBA's investing money in something does not necessarily represent validation of the concept. Does anyone remember the dot-com "B2B" model?

wath wod the energy consupstion bee if you cod sucsed to lift any ting? It looks to me it wod bee a lot, wonder if it wod be profitbale

I read an article about it, apparently some Russian scientist claims to have created some funky machine thing and Boeing and NASA are looking into it.

Interesting... I dunno, could work. At least they are using magnetics, which is about the one way I can figure to temporarily overcome gravity.

We already have an anti gravity device, its called an airplane..

I really doubt were going to out do planes within the next 50 years.

That's the first thing I thought of when I heard about this.

Its a well know fact all progress is made through Accidents and Made Russian Scientists

(Hey it was a mad Russia Scientist who gave the world Tetrius!

Conspiracy Cafe Article wrote:The scientist says he found that objects above a superconducting ceramic disc rotating over powerful electromagnets lost weight.

Assuming their telling the truth about their results, which could not be verified, they're still wrong. The object simply experienced a decrease in the net downward force acting on it because of a magnetic force opposite that of gravity. This is nothing new. Mag trains have existed for years.

The reduction in gravity was small, about 2%, but the implications - for example, in terms of cutting the energy needed for a plane to fly - were immense.

More bullshit, gravity was not reduced, just like gravity is not reduced when a hot air baloon flies. This whole article is crap n' the box.

In the future, when someone wants to start a thread about technological development, they need to give a link to a qualified site like http://www.boeing.com, or http://www.nasa.gov, not conspiracycafe.com.

Hmmmmm, taking a closer look at that site, I quickly realized it seems to be full of as much unsupported pseudoscience as say, the Art Bell radio program. I'll agree with the general sentiment and say that the site isn't a reliable source of scientific information.

The article was posted to several other places.

The problem lies with the guy who "invented" this device... Evgeny Podkletnov. He's got a history of making wild claims that he "proves", but his results can't be replicated.

No-one has been able to recreate his results and he will not release many details about his experiments, he is therefore most likely lying....

Or Russia won't let him release his results since he now works at a special chemical production plant that has never released info (even it's address) to outsiders.

some research on this matter to help a colleague about a year ago.

still got some of papers by E.Podkletnov and R.Nieminen, Ning Li and D.G. Torr..and others

ill scan the front pages/abstracts if anyone wants references.

Why the heck don't they try to manipulate the earth's electromagnetic fields instead??? I thought gravity was weaker than electromagnetics??
