RE: Antigravity stuff. :) I believe I've come across two such items (hey, what can I say, I sent away for that material when I was a kid :). The first item I've seen is merely a hovercraft. The second item was a great deal more interesting, but completely theoretical (and likely impossible). It was based on centrifugal force and required that the spinning object by harnessed when it spun AWAY from the pull of gravity. I think they tried to base it on the gyroscope principle. Anyway, by harnessing the force of the object when it opposed gravity, you were able to generate "anti-gravity". It was a while ago, so I don't remember if they explained how to do this (you mech techs know that it don't work :) but they continued and theorized that if electrons could be harnessed in this way, you'd have a perfect anti-gravity generator. (You would...except that you can't harness the centrifugal force of something spinning at the speed of light :) Charles_K_Hughes@cup.portal.com
