I have witnessed the floatation of a disk in the air. The superconductor causes the gravity to stop. The question is how do you apply the concept on am aircraft?

That's cool! I think that it only stands to reason that we will/can develop this type of technology.

I've seen this, too, in a laboratory at University of Houston. It was mad-scientist stuff, but undeniably real. I felt like I was in a movie!

It could help produce a transport system that works without fuel

What about this statement. Wouldn't the superconductor need some form of fuel?

No it doesn't. Rather the magnetic force opposes or counteracts the gravity force. The gravity is still there. This is no more magical than the fact that you don't slide to the center of the earth every time you try to stand up. The mechanical forces in your legs oppose the gravity forces, just as does the magnitic force in that superconducting "levitation" demonstration.

Horse crap. Floating superconducting disks float due to magnetic repulsion, not antigravity
