I tried to design such a craft when I was young but I failed to show a propulsion system that was workable.
This is the problem. People try to use force to propel things away from gravitational pull, when in fact what they should be looking for is ways of negating it, so that craft weigh nothing in relation to its pull, meaning only minimum propulsion is needed to direct craft in the desired direction as with dirigibles and indeed rockets in space. Macho mechanics have to defy gravity, not understand and work with knowledge of it, hence they expand more energy than would be necessary if they took the alternative course. I believe Schauberger and others may have stumbled upon this in the past but can it be proved now? Not by us, certainly but that doesn't mean it isn't true, just unprovable within a forum like this.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
