ROBERT Hooper's anti-gravity machine is a huge weight on his mind, and on that of his wife Pat. The part-time inventor is almost certain it can sort out the world's woes. He says the machine's free, clean and endless power could end global warming -- or it would if only someone would take him seriously and build the damn thing. "It's driving me up the bloody wall," he says.

The picture of the old guy giving himself a hernia while lifting the antigravity wonder is a gem.

Algore will happily invest millions.

But, he will want credit for inventing it.

So he knows all about what a machine will do that doesn't exist. Bobby, be like Edison who faced all sorts of opposition over his generator. He built it himself and had it up and running at the same time people said it was impossible.

In theory the gadget would trick gravity into endlessly forcing water around a pipe, pushing a piston.

Oh, it "tricks" gravity, eh?

Gravity is NOT just a good idea.

IT'S THE LAW!

This lunacy is of a higher order. More Ross Perot than Al Gore.

Hillary Clinton will "Take" the profits from the oil companies and pour it into research such as this.

Of course she will take a large slice for herself and her cronis as a percentage.

"What is far easier to find is the non-working prototype that Mr Hooper knocked up on his veranda."

Is this a reference to the long suffering Mrs. Hooper ?

Oh, I agree with you. Why, do you know that some crackpot actually stated that man would someday be able to talk across the oceans using radio waves? And another crackpot claimed that men would fly!

We have to be grounded in reality and I am so happy to see that you are helping us maintain a solid, traditional perspective! After all, if it hasn't already been done, and it hasn't be stated in the Bible, then it can never be done!

Usaully I reserve a special kind of contempt for the fake IPO quacks.

This case is merely sad and pathetic. I am embarrassed for him.

He dreamed large and worked hard. Even in his profound failure there is a nobility that is lacking among the great majority of his fellow beings.

actually, long range wireless communication IS in the bible - the Ark of the covenant, as is flying men - Ezekiel's wheel withint the wheel...

but if you beleieve this is such a great deal, why not put a little of your cash into it - he's looking for investors!;-)

But just in case it can be done, best to stick on red skateboard wheels, gears and odd-shaped plastic bits to make it look impressive.

And the Royal Society declaimed that an incandescent light bulb was an impossibility, and numerous doctors predicted that above the speed of a horse, Life would cease because breathing would not be possible.

Technically, men do not fly. Their machines do.

Men cannot fly, because, like the bumblebee, the weight and drag exceed lift and power.

Oh wait...

I once met an old man who claimed to have discovered a way to create an endless supply of electricity. what he did was hook up a generator to an electric motor, thinking that it would run itself.

talk about pathetic. it only ran when plugged in;-)
