Boeing tries to defy gravity
An anti-gravity device would revolutionise air travel
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2157975.stm

Researchers at the world's largest aircraft maker, Boeing, are using the work of a controversial Russian scientist to try to create a device that will defy gravity.

The company is examining an experiment by Yevgeny Podkletnov, who claims to have developed a device which can shield objects from the Earth's pull.

The project is being run by the top-secret Phantom Works in Seattle, the part of the company which handles Boeing's most sensitive programmes.

and boeingfixer defyed the TS prized competition by making himself absent.

Phant will be around, boeingfixer, as I suspected will never fulfill his promise of a "consolation" prize - and will only come back on occation to "prove" he hasn't "left after the contest".

Phantasm66 has been around and to my knowledge hasn't left. As for boeing, well I think we all feel the same on that situation.

Let's just say don't believe everything you here. I didn't win anything in the contest yet I'm still here because I think this is a great place.

All well and good but an aircaft would need a VERY large power supply cause the disk the size of plane circular would need to turn and some speed to maintain anti-g. And wouldnt the disk need to be moved ? Cause it just looks like the Disk is a powerful negative magnet sorta idea.

I am always reading the forums every day, even if I am not posting here.

This seems very impossible to me. You can't just "shield" something against gravity. It goes against the laws of physics. Without a force pushing upward, it's pretty impossible.

Maybe this works on some quantum level. Personally, I hope it works. The fiction of "flying cars" and whatnot would quickly become reality... Very neato.

2% is better than 0%

Hate to have a vehicular prang in the future.

You know, it't hard being me....

I am sorry gang, for being short on being here lately.

I have taken some time off work and have been doing things around my house. I haven't really been doing much computer stuff. I will try to make an effort to return to my posting glory.

And I do still have the other prize stuff, If you all don't hate me too much, I will send it out.

 

[uncleel]

Gladly send you $'s.
you shouldn't have to pay shipping charges.

 

[boeingfixer]

Unc, That's what I was thinking, I have to go to the post office and see how much it will be. I was thinking around $5 with an envalope too. I will let you guys know.

Phantom Works...

A number of years ago, like 10 or 15, my father worked there as an engineer
