Full Version: Anti-gravity propulsion comes ‘out of the closet’

user posted image rSubmitted by Anthony: Boeing, the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer, has admitted it is working on experimental anti-gravity projects that could overturn a century of conventional aerospace propulsion technology if the science underpinning them can be engineered into hardware. As part of the effort, which is being run out of Boeing’s Phantom Works advanced research and development facility in Seattle, the company is trying to solicit the services of a Russian scientist who claims he has developed anti-gravity devices in Russia and Finland. The approach, however, has been thwarted by Russian officialdom. The Boeing drive to develop a collaborative relationship with the scientist in question, Dr Evgeny Podkletnov, has its own internal project name: ‘GRASP’ — Gravity Research for Advanced Space Propulsion. A GRASP briefing document obtained by JDW sets out what Boeing believes to be at stake. "If gravity modification is real," it says, "it will alter the entire aerospace business." GRASP’s objective is to explore propellentless propulsion (the aerospace world’s more formal term for anti-gravity), determine the validity of Podkletnov’s work and "examine possible uses for such a technology". Applications, the company says, could include space launch systems, artificial gravity on spacecraft, aircraft propulsion and ‘fuelless’ electricity generation — so-called ‘free energy’.

But it is also apparent that Podkletnov’s work could be engineered into a radical new weapon. The GRASP paper focuses on Podkletnov’s claims that his high-power experiments, using a device called an ‘impulse gravity generator’, are capable of producing a beam of ‘gravity-like’ energy that can exert an instantaneous force of 1,000g on any object — enough, in principle, to vaporise it, especially if the object is moving at high speed.

The link to the Full Article doesn't work.

But I found the same article on another site, and it seems the article was already written in 2002...

Right, we call it "part of the Summer distraction", soon there will be the Italian "invisible cloak" and Nessie. If there are no news you make some.

Link works fine.

wow, if they think anti-gravity exsists, then it could mean anti-matter isn't effected by gravity right?

OK, maybe the original link works fine, but apparently not for everyone.

Anyway, it is appears to be old news.

News from 6 years ago.

So we better forget about this phantasy, right?

Seems this story has been around for quite a while...

Here's a link to the original BBC article from July 2002:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2157975.stm

And here's a June 2003 Wired article featuring an interview with Dr. Evgeny (Eugene) Podkletnov:

Also, from the Wikipedia page about Dr. Eugene Podkletnov, some info about Boeing's involvement:

QUOTE
In a BBC news item, it was alleged that researchers at Boeing were funding a project called GRASP (Gravity Research for Advanced Space Propulsion) which would attempt to construct a gravity shielding device, but a subsequent Popular Mechanics news item stated that Boeing had denied funding GRASP with company money, although Boeing acknowledged that it could not comment on "black projects". A possible solution of this contradiction has been suggested: it is alleged that the GRASP proposal was presented to Boeing, but that Boeing chose not to fund it.


And, just as a follow-up, here's a November 2006 article "Gravity's Secret" from New Scientist magazine:

This article is flying all over the Internet today and it's 6 years old. I've gotten three Google Alerts already on it already because of this entry of Unexplained Mysteries. Consequently, now others are picking it up and posting it too not realizing how old it is.

What happens is that you kick up old information and then it makes us all look like fools. The moderator should remove this thread.

Here's the source of the original article.

It would be the most dramantic change in human history.
