Giant Leap?
Well maybe with a million or 2 bucks.

As a few of my pilot friends know I have been
obsessed with what gravity is. Most people know it as what holds
everything down to the surface of our big blue planet. What is even
more surprising is that scientists have never been able to see it,
or control it. The only mechanical device that reacts to it is a
gyroscope. If you have ever been to a museum and seen the
demonstration on how a kids bicycle wheel spinning can actually spin
you in a seat, then you can understand the great force a gyroscope
can produce. Now imagine if you were in space and had that kind of
force available to you by just simply turning a wheel with a 12 volt
motor. Many scientists and inventors have experimented with
gyroscopes to see if there is a way to get them to swim thru
gravity. If you look at gravity as water it is easier to understand
it forces. If you take a kids party balloon and hold it under water
the balloon displaces the water around it creating surface pressure
on the balloon. Gravity is just that, when a mass is put into this
unknown force and displaces this unknown force it creates
gravity.
If you take a marshmallow, it has very little mass and would not be easy to see the gravity it would be creating, but if you to a object that was the size of a marshmallow and it weighed 3,000,000 trillion tons it would have a gravity strong enough to turn you body into a paste that would be crushed and stuck to the surface of it. The real object is to trick this force into not knowing it is being displaced. I have taken gyro's weighing 2 pounds up to 125,000 RPM and the force that is created is amazing. Now my theory is if you take the right amount of gyro's and spin them at certain time at certain changing angles then you could create movement, however starting a gyro at 125k RPM and stopping with in .5 seconds is imposable with any realist way to control it. NOW this is where it could get fun, if you could circulate an electrical current thru a loop fast enough-would it create a gyroscopic field? Electricity just like light has been said to have it's own mass, if this is correct any thing with mass can be used to create a gyroscopic field. If a gyroscope can be created from electricity then these gyroscopes could be started and stopped instantly. This may be the answer to vehicles that can move thru space with out using millions of pounds of fuel to lift a single person. What is even more interesting is this machine would look very much like the flying saucers from the 1950 movies. |
