Boeing Confirms Research To Defy Gravity

Typically, you use a very cold substance to achieve superconductivity. To get to that cold state, you must have fuel? Currently, it takes too much energy to get to the superconductivity; perhaps in the future we may get more efficient in achieving that state?

You are correct, the Russians have a great theoritical academia, but little money to invest in R&D.

Half answer there, El Gato.

1. When room temperature super-C materials come of age, then energy input will drop to nothing.

2. Current materials require active refrigeration, so there is power used to keep everything cold, at least. And the more common SC requires some sort of current run through it. That said, the latter "current" material can be formed into electrical windings that will hold an initial amount of energy that you pump into them, until you decide to bleed some off. For what we're talking about, you'd charge up the system to get a self-contained electromagnet. As long as you keep it cold and don't remove any stored energy, it's on-line. (I've worked with this technology, in the mid to late 1980's there was some research in using it as a storage system for electrical transmission.)

You're absolutely right - no magic here! It's just not common knowledge.

Bing! Bing! We have a winner!

Big OOPS! El Gato, this message was meant for asformeandmyhouse, not you. Wasn't paying proper attention.

FYI.

There is some interesting reading on anti gravity technology here.

Those floating disks that people have reported seeing (I have seen pictures myself) are a magnetic phenomena. The Podkletnov effect, if it exists, is a real gravity defying effect. This isn't something "new" nor breaking. I've heard of it for years, and I knew NASA was working on it for like a year now..

The Enhanced T. Brown Electrokinetic Experiment.

I heard through the grapevine that this research is being funded through special legislation sponsored by Kennedy, Nadler, and Clinton.....

""We are trying to engineer the science in a way that produces something workable."

On second thought, there is no way the Gummint could be involved in this............

This would not surprise me, especially Nadler. He DEFINATELY has a vested interest in finding a way to negate the force of gravity.

[Frank_Discussion]

Yes... far more than I can digest at the moment. JL Naudin Lifters are an enigma.

[RightWhale]

Thanks for the ping.

It is fine for Boeing to check into this. There is a lot of wishful thinking going on here, but Boeing is not likely to waste a lot of money on this, so it shouldn't hurt the bottom line. There is always the chance they can learn something serendipitously about materials science.

Word is that they're going to mine the skulls of Boeing's management team for whatever it is that renders their thoughts weightless.

Of course, the company name lends itself to anti-gravity research. Boeing boeing boeing....

"This would not surprise me, especially Nadler. He DEFINATELY has a vested interest in finding a way to negate the force of gravity."

He ought to be supporting brain transplant research too.

Trying to fly back to the Mothership, no doubt.

Way too cool Bump.
