UM-Bot Posted January 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2018 An acoustic tractor beam could make it possible to levitate large objects within the not-too-distant future. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/315071/scientists-make-tractor-beam-breakthrough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeder Posted January 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2018 THIS.......makes me feel a great many things.....let me explain: Years and years ago as a teen, when Id gotten into music...I noticed that when playing music loud, the plant in front of the speakers.....well its leaves nearest the speaker would move in time to the beats Years later when Id got online and started reading about antigravity nonsense, I remembered those plants twitching in time to the beats from the speaker...and so I TOO...many years ago...thought that could be developed into some sort of levitator But did nothing about..... If Id pursued that idea, who knows, I might be famous now ggrrr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawken Posted January 22, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2018 That could have been Emit Brown (Doc) next invention and made a sequel out of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted January 22, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Being able to make something float is anti-grav as Seeder mentioned. A tractor beam drags something toward you or holds it in place so you can tow the object. Great discovery, though. Will it eventually make all the hover boards work? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are able someday to scale it from a fraction of a gram to tens of kilos, I don't see why not. I'm curious what the power needs would be.

cerberusxp Posted January 30, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Ralph Ring, Otis T. Carr and their co workers on a Government project levitated a basketball with a speaker in the 1950's. He remembered that he believed it happened at 32,000 cycles. Edited January 30, 2018 by cerberusxp forgot a . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
