This article is almost five years old. No progress since then?

Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible. - Lord Kelvin, ca. 1895, British mathematician and physicist I'd like to see a source for this. Certainly Kelvin knew that birds and insects were heavier than air.

Didn't Al Gore invent anti-gravity shortly after inventing the Internet? It wasn't that hard either, when you have as much hot air as he has.

Fascinating subject matter. Podkletnov is an engimatic figure rivaling Tesla. Very well written article. I give this a 9, it has a good beat and I can dance to it. Thanks!!

"Claims of anti-gravity in the early 21st century were found out to be merely attempts to cause speculation in the price of high temperature superconducting materials."

Bump for further reading, sounds pretty cool, if it works.

The anti-gravity experiments are much older than 5 years. I remember buying and reading a book in the early 1970's detailing experiments by a group of Canadian scientists doing very similar experiments. And they had pretty much the same results. They used high speed rotating disks and spheres and documented reduction in gravitational forces above them. If there is any truth in anti-gravitation, then sooner or later someone will succeed in proving it.
After all, theories about atomic bombs and actual research preceded the 1st a-bomb by decades. Same for some other fantastic devices we now take for granted that were formerly dismissed as crackpot ideas.

What about Coral Castle at Homestead, Florida, which was built with some 20 and 30 ton coral blocks by a small Latvian man (Edward Leedskalnin) using gravitational levitation?
It is a known fact that magnetic points exist on the earth where this is possible.

Schnurer is ready to perform a run of his experiment.

A very interesting article. It's too bad that respected scientist feel the need to react in a knee-jerk fashion when confronted with radical new ideas. The subject of gravity, and how to master it, is serious enough to be researched as it would truly mean a technological revolution. Someone with more money than they can spend should give this man a few years and a big check. Are you listening Bill Gates?

If you're really interested, here is a link to a web page that contains information on how to build your own lifter. http://paranormal.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://jnaudin.free.fr/
It's kind of cool. A few high school students have made their own lifter. One basic design uses the capacitor from an old color monitor.

Before you guys got medved banned, you never had to guess like that; sounds like you're worse off now than you were.
