    Antigravity Technology... Is it already here???

    I found a website about Antigravity technology, that particularly deals with the areas of Propulsion and Weaponry that is just too cool, a bit freaky, and even a little scary...

    www.americanantigravity.com/index.shtml

    They have video of several experiments in action. They have many examples of various technologies at work. They site many inventors and scientist, some of whom are highly respected, and some who are regarded wearily. They have a stuff about high energy beam weapons, gravity propulsion, energy production, and a lot of other things.

    They include the work of Dr. Ning Li of UAH (University of Alabama/Huntsville) who was featured in an article by Popular Mechanics for her work in superconductive technology applied to antigravity effects. Her work specifically deals with a 'force field' called 'AC Gravity' that acts like gravity on matter, but isn't specifically gravity. They also have some articles on Tesla, and his amazing inventions.

    Personally, I'm conflicted on the matter. Some of the stuff on this website, if true, could be potentially revolutionary. Heck, it could even explain certain UFO sightings. One explanation has always been that many UFO's are actually the work of scientists. Maybe they are... On the otherhand, the cautious skeptic in me doesn't want to take the sucker's way out. I'll say that I am very intrigued. I'm very interested to see what some of you have to say on the matter.

    Is advanced space travel in the relatively near future... or is it all just a big hoax..? You decide...

    The site had a lot of interesting links, but nothing I would strictly consider a working anti-gravi system.

    Space Travel as we see in Startrek, Starwars and so forth are still very fair off.
    The kind you see in Firefly is about 200 yrs from now, if we started serious colonization planning today.

      Did you see the stuff about their 'Lifters'? That was very interesting. They have several video shots of that in action. It doesn't use conventional means to lift in the air, and I'm not certain as to how much weight it could support, but it certainly looks very cool. As I said, I'm not entirely convinced about all that stuff, but some of it seems to be on the level. I do know that Dr. Ning Li is highly respected and even NASA has taken considerable interest in her work.

        Yes did, and like I said there are some interesting things. I guess how define is your view for anti-gravity.

        The lifter is most interesting, but I suspect its a eletrostatic. Frankly it could be a huge metal plate under it and its a magentic field. The effect of Anti-gravity is not really anti-gravity

          I'm generally not too strict in usage of the term 'antigravity'. I'm personally flexible with the term as simply suggesting the effect of antigravity, rather than the precise force itself. If such technologies could be used to lift craft off the ground, and potentially into space (as a safer and more reliable alternative to riding an explosion from a rocket), then they very much interest me. I sincerely believe that the stars are our future, and any technology that could help humanity acheive that dream is of great interest to me personally. I love sci-fi because of the possibilities, not just for the sake of the stories themselves. I'm the guy that is disheartened that we haven't been to the moon in 30 years. I'm the guy that wants to see humanity have at least an intra-star system civilization within the next couple of hundred years. Pipe Dreams maybe... but I believe that they are achievable.

              couple of hundred? I think you are not giving the human race enough credit.

              (Being a little evil)

              We could build a huge colony ship that takes some 500 yrs to sail to the next colony, with rotating sections for gravity. All with todays technology, just forget about the budget. LOL.....

                we should IMO why is al lthe casino and brewery in the world were shut down and the black market funneled in to it i think it would be easy without the goverment even knowing about it!

                  I sincerly believe controlled gravity is something we should strive for. If it becomes a reality it would certainly be more of a revolution than the invention of the wheels. There are infinite numbers of applications that can benifit from gravity manipulation. Anyone want to make a miniature sun?

                      How would you propose to make a miniature sun?

                        I guess the poster has little knowledge of solar physics and just means to create a small object with the same gravitational field as the sun. Higher gravity means higher pressure, thus an easier to form fusion reaction.

                          Poster probably means maffia like buiness like when alcohol was forbidden in the US. Or better said if all the casinos and breweries in the world would be declared illegal, a black market in said products would be created generating huge sums of money. This money would then be used to finanance the refered to project, thus eliminating government involvement.

                            Hate to be a party pooper, but it's really not an antigrav device - it's just a more inventive propulsion device. You should look up the theory behind it sometime - i'd advise trying wikipedia.

                            Another problem with the lifter is that it needs an atmosphere to work in (at least i think so - from my understanding of its mechanics, it will need a gas os some description to work in), so we havent found our space-drive yet...

                              From what i can gather you are correct. it is kind of like a VTOL aeroplane, without vertical thrusters.
