Read this
fascinating theory article on space travel
hyperdrives and
antigravity which contains this excerpt:-
This will require a huge rotating ring placed
above a superconducting coil to create an intense
m@gnetic field. With a large enough current
in the coil, and a large enough m@gnetic field,
Dröscher claims the electrom@gnetic force
can reduce the gravitational pull on the ring
to the point where it floats free. Dröscher
and Häuser say that to completely counter
Earth's pull on a 150-tonne spacecraft a m@gnetic
field of around 25 tesla would be needed. While
that's 500,000 times the strength of Earth's
m@gnetic field, pulsed m@gnets briefly reach
field strengths up to 80 tesla. And Dröscher
and Häuser go further. With a faster-spinning
ring and an even stronger m@gnetic field, gravitophotons
would interact with conventional gravity to
produce a repulsive antigravity force, they
suggest.
I also very much liked my brothers scientific
response when I showed him the above article....
"Yes, very interesting professor. The other
simple device that works in a
similar manner is a small brass disc which has
a sharpened wire protruding
axially and perpendicular from the disc. If inadvertently
stepped upon in
bear feet, it will make you (or the stepper)
temporarily weightless. The
device is known as a DRA Wingpin.
(named after its inventor Dr. A Wingpin).

Very funny!
Another great web site which theorises on antigravity
and which has a number of very interesting projects
in hand, and even some you can build yourself
can be found at http://www.americanantigravity.com

If you would like to explore the heavens
and get a more intimate knowledge of the
planets, our solar system, the moon, constellations,
and galaxies and be able to track man-made
satellites too, I highly recommend the software
from www.StarryNight.com.
It is probably the best and most realistic
astronomy software you can find, and it has
an excellent range of astronomy
software products for junior astronomers,
to professional
astronomy software that integrates with telescope
tracking modules. Prices range from just
$25 to about $250. It is incredibly easy
and fun to use, and allows you to explore
deep space and travel through time, view
distant galaxies or close ups of the moon,
and naturally it shows in real-time the current
positions of the objects in the sky so you
can look them up on your computer, then go
outside and view them with your eyes, binoculars
or telescope. |
