ANTI­GRAVITY

ANTI­GRAVITY AND ALIEN SPACECRAFT

For decades, eyewitnesses have recorded on film and video, flying saucers, or objects believed to be alien spacecraft. While the shapes of these craft vary, one common denominator is clear: these spacecraft appear to hover and move with great velocity in any direction, seemingly without a source of propulsion. ​This is known as the concept of anti gravity. The latest UFO news from the Association of Science ­Technology Center’s (ASTC) annual conference concerns attempts by scientists across the globe to....

THE ANTIGRAVITY UNDERGROUND

The fantastic floating device called a lifter has no moving parts, no onboard fuel, and no shortage of wide-eyed admirers. Even inside NASA. It's time for liftoff, so I pull on my thick, elbow-length rubber gloves and put the fire extinguisher within reach. This is probably overkill, but I'm a little jumpy. I'm not accustomed to unleashing massive amounts of voltage in my cramped apartment. I do one last check of my DC transformer, which I bought online from a....

ACOUSTIC LEVITATION IS SCIENCE’S COOLEST PHENOMENON

By Laura Vitto on January 2nd, 2014 on mashable.com Acoustic levitation, a method of using sound waves to suspend small particles, is one of coolest phenomenons in science. Japanese scientists Yoichi Ochiai, Jun Rekimoto and Takayuki Hoshi have released footage of their new series of acoustic levitation experiments that demonstrate the power of noise. The clip provides a quick and simple overview of the team's work before getting into some mind-bending levitation experiments with small items like nails, bolts, wood pieces and....

SUPERCONDUCTING DISC LOCKED IN UPSIDE-DOWN LEVITATION

By MacGregor Campbell on October 20th, 2011 on newscientist.com Surely if flying saucers existed, they would float around like the disc in this video. The demonstration by physicist Boaz Almog from Tel Aviv University, Israel, at the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) Annual Conference in Baltimore, Maryland, earlier this week illustrates how a superconducting plate can be fixed in 3D space while levitating above a track of permanent magnets. But this isn't simply magnetic repulsion: the disc can also stay suspended upside down when the....
