The Lifter (Anti-Gravity) Myth has been BUSTED! The so-called "Anti-Gravity" lifters that Beamshipcaptain, sparrowcommand.com and americanantigravity.com claim can modify or manipulate gravity, has been thoroughly debunked!

For some reason there is still debates on youtube about these lifters being REAL antigravity devices.

They have been scientifically proven to achieve lift based solely on the principles of Ionization of AIR and the thrust of moving ionized air downward.

This is Part 1 of 2.

For the complete 4 page story, google search for "The Antigravity Underground wired magazine" or goto http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.08/pwr_antigravity.html

(note: NASA calls these asymmetric capacitors, because that is ,in essence, exactly what they are. Jump to page 16 and make sure you read the conclusion)

  • What is anti-gravity? Isn't gravity a by product of mass? Would you have to have negative mass to have anti-gravity? I don't know who says Lifters operate using anti-gravity, but I can imagine it's the same people who say aeroplanes and helicopters use anti-gravity. The kind of people who don't understand how it actually works.

  • Mythbusters is a Joke. They dont conduct scientific testing properly, They seem to be following along with some propaganda that wishes to distort science. They are movie effects goobers, not Physicists. Physics explains magnets as clockwise/counterclockwise vortexes that push & pull. There is a million concepts about flipping these properties, yet they put out some hoaky doaky electroslide parler trick. I didnt see a shred of anything to do with electromagnetics. they should run a Corndog stand

  • A lot of this hinges on semantics. The muscles we use to counteract gravity in sitting or standing are called the anti-gravity muscles, so "anti-gravity" need only mean opposing or counteracting the effects of gravity. The people in the video are using it in the narrower sense of actually modifying gravity itself. But these electrostatic lifters are tres cool however they work.

  • Go to 3:59 repeatand watch Kari

  • @mbudnick242 If this were Facepunch I'd rate you informative :)

  • physicists are still grappling with what gravity really is, it has a direct correlation to mass but has not enough evidence has been found to say that it is caused by it but may only accompany it in fixed amounts, with force determined by distance. The famed "God" particle is believed to confer mass and the elusive "graviton" has been dubbed to produce gravity, in some physical theories. In fact, what we say we know about quantum physics is still a major debate in the science

  • Delicious conspiracy theorist butthurt abound!

  • @djk4tt So I asked him what manner of technical difficulty he was reffering to, Why he could not substitute one of the other 40 machines he claims to have built, and if he intended to refund the entranc fee to compensate for his inability to deliver what he promised.

  • @djk4tt The question I asked was quite simple. You see Searl had made the claim that there would be a demonstration of both the self powering claim and the flight claims with the device that day during the presentation. This is actually a claim that he allways makes when ever he makes an appearance. After collecting every one's entrance fee, however, he reveals that "technical" difficulties have forced him to instead show a mock up model run on a car battery.

  • @MrAwsome514 if you believe that is true, report him along with all the linked accounts you believe to be his. other than that, i really can't help you since you won't relay the question you asked Searl/his staff. all i can truly say to you is, pick up a physics book or 2 and start reading to gain some insight before you fling redundant accusations/questions around. i don't want to assume that you know nothing, but sometimes it is best to realize that you actually don't.

  • @djk4tt By the way. Recently "TheRealVerbz" has been using multiple accounts to start spamming thumbs down on several comments of mine that have held the top rated slot on sevral videos for nearly a year to force them off the first page. Others have been experiencing this censorship of his aswell. I saw one of my comments which had 30+ thumbs up on it drop to 10 in only an hour after he posted one that whent from 0 thumbs up to 20 placing it as the top rated comment on the video at the same time
