    Anti-Gravity is Almost Here - Really it is!

    Every UFO buff knows that those little green men are driving around in spaceships equipped with anti-gravity devices…

    but to the skeptics and lay person on the street, is this stuff viable outside the pages of sci-fi novels?

    according to a lot of scientists, it is - in the form of a hyperdrive that would power future space vehicles….

    The basic concept is this: according to the paper’s authors - Jochem Häuser, a physicist and professor of computer science at the University of Applied Sciences in Salzgitter and Walter Dröscher, a retired Austrian patent officer -

    If you put a huge rotating ring above a superconducting coil and pump enough current through the coil, the resulting large magnetic field will "reduce the gravitational pull on the ring to the point where it floats free".

    Let me repeat that - reduce the gravitational pull on the ring to the point where it floats free….

    Meaning gravity can be bested through the use of superconducting magnets and a large amount of electricity….

    Good news for a Sunday stuck on the ground in gritty sunny baltimore.
