Hmmm, this forum's got some cool topics this week, happy holidays ya'll.
There is a video on this guy's site about his anti-gravity school project.
What get's me is his age. 19 years old. Cool or what?
Only the Creator knows what his chidren's generation will be like with supercomputers and anti-gravity?

Someone is going to mention this, but nonetheless here is my quick response. Reaction wheels are perhaps always needing improvement. But, they are already used to reposition space-based telescopes. For example, the Hubble uses reaction wheels that rotate a flywheel, and or brake it for an exchange of momentum to make Hubble turn. It had problems once, and it took some work to correct that issue.

This is not anti-gravity....
1: Spinning wheels do not make something fly like that but spin yes.
2: I could see the string that he used to hold it up.

That is not anti gravity, there is blatantly a string holding it up you can see it in the last couple of seconds of the video. You must have gotten your wires crossed, it is not an anti gravity device. If it was this kid would be working for NASA or another government company. Hes around 50 years late also as the government made flying suacers in the 50s.

Some people just dont seem to realise how pathetic they look.No rational human being would try to pass that off as something significant...would they?? ..........red dwarf had better models

I am quite sure it was by all intentions the string was visible. I doubt he is claiming that device was floating in the air by itself. Its obviously some device in very early stages just demonstrating some principle, and the string was just holding it in place. He is even saying "This is how its supposed to work", so its quite clear this is just a demonstration on what he is trying to develope.
