Gravitational propulsion-levitation vehicle
I’ve had this idea for quite some time - since sometime in 1997 - and I’ve carried it around in my mind, not knowing how to bring it to fruition, and certainly not knowing if I wanted to share it with anyone.
I’ve decided to share this idea with the world because I don’t have the physics knowledge that can allow me to figure it out on my own, and given my current and past schedule, it doesn’t look like I’ll have the time to beef up on physics any time soon. I hope that by sharing it, I can reach someone in whose mind the various pieces I’m going to talk about will click. Maybe this is one person, or a team of people, but that’s the power of the Internet - I can put my idea out there and see what happens!
I have to concede that this is the stuff of science fiction, of Star Trek and Star Wars and the like, but I really do think it can work. I think what makes my idea different from the sci-fi iterations is that it’s grounded - literally and figuratively speaking. I’m talking about gravitation. I have an idea for a vehicle that can move and float by harnessing the gravitational force of the Earth.
Here’s how I think it can work. The gravitational force of the Earth pulls things down to the ground. But it’s a magnetic force. We are attracted by it. If we can somehow deflect the force of attraction, we can move left or right along the surface of the Earth - that’s gravitational propulsion! If we can reverse it, we can rise - that’s gravitational levitation! Okay, so how can one affect a magnetic field or force? Through a magnetic field of opposing polarity. The problem is, I have yet to see a magnet that falls up, not down!
Here’s where it gets interesting. I can offer you the following clues, and I hope that you can put them all together to arrive at a solution:
- Create - on a small scale - a gravitational field like the Earth’s, and attract other objects to it - this could be microscopic, it doesn’t have to be on a large scale. Once we can create this, we can apply the technology to see if we can create a gravitational field that the Earth “doesn’t like” and thus rejects - if this works, it means we can float, or levitate.
- Look at the following two products currently on the market. The principles upon which they work is very similar to the way my vehicle can work. One involves an oscillating magnetic pendulum whose direction is determined by the repulsion from neighboring magnetic fields. This illustrates my gravitational propulsion idea. The second is a levitating magnetic top, which, once tuned correctly, rises and stays in mid-air while it rotates. Please understand I’m not endorsing or advertising the company selling these products or the products themselves. I’m simply using them to illustrate my ideas. I do think the products are really innovative. I first heard about the levitating magnetic top several years ago, and that’s what helped me think about how my gravitational propulsion vehicle could work.
- I think the repulsing gravitational field can be generated through the rotation (either parallel or perpendicular, not sure) of a disc or series of discs. It may be that some will have to rotate perpendicularly while others rotate parallel to the Earth. The angle of rotation can be varied to generate propulsion, levitation, or both. I think an important first step would be to generate propulsion alone - 2D movement along the Earth’s surface. That in itself would be a monumentous achievement. Levitation can come later, after the propulsion is perfected.
- The vehicle can be perpetually moving. A rechargeable battery can be used to set the rotating mechanism in motion, and once the vehicle is moving and generating its own energy - remember, magnetic fields can be used to generate electricity - the energy from the rotating discs can recharge the battery.
- The same mechanism can be applied to power plants, once perfected. We’ll be able to generate electricity directly from gravitational energy - no more nuclear or coal plants! The best part is that gravitational energy is in endless supply!
Just think of the benefits if we can ever get this idea materialized! I can go on and on, but I’ll let you dream about it: driving over fields of flowers without trampling them under wheels, sailing over water without getting anything wet, floating along the Grand Canyon, putting your hand out the window and picking fruits directly from the top of a tree… We won’t need roads anymore. We won’t pollute anymore. We’ll be able to camp out at the top of Mount Everest, or in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean…

If you could please contact me we may be able to help each other with a real possibility of a craft of magnetic possibilities as I have had a dream of such an invention since I have been 8 years old I am now 33 and am 100 percent certain that with a few additions and modifications of the magnetic lifting top we can finalize such a creation to be beneficial to our planet and way of life of not just travel but an energy supply of unimaginable proportions.

I’ve had my idea since I was 13 - it’s called the Global Gravitational Vehicle and its round runs on an augmented electical source like N. Tesla’s purple plasma and it repels or attracts gravity like a telescopic electro-magnet able to slingshot from planetary pull to planetary pull. I think I probably got the idea from the last 10 minutes of the 80’s movie “Starman” but, it was a great epiphany that I still think about. It’s a great idea but, right now, I just want an electric car….

I’m currently doing research for a University and am sorry to say that their are a couple of fundamental problems with this idea.
Number 1:
Gravitational and magnetic fields DO NOT interact with each other.
Number 2:
The idea of a perpetual motion machine is impossible, due to energy loss in the form of heat and other forces surrounding the machine. Perpetual motion can only work in a perfect vacuum with absolutely no external forces, even space (vacuum) isn’t a perfect vacuum.
The spinning top works off of two magnetic fields opposing each other, and this is where thought should be focused. Find a way for the two opposing magnetic fields to exist on the same machine and still provide propulsion.
Good Luck

Chad, I agree with you, it seems impossible, but I still think the key lies with somehow harnessing the gravitational energy, in one way or another.
There’s a fellow in Romania who’s apparently done just that. It’s an engine that amplifies gravitational pull to produce movement. Here’s the snippet I just got in an email (it’s in Romanian):

I would like to get in touch with Ion Sripcaru. Do you have his information? I might be able to help him see his idea becoming reality.
Thank you,
Adriana

Adriana, I don’t have his contact information, but you’ve got plenty to go on if you want to contact him. That snippet says he’s in the village Uzunu, county of Giurgiu, in Romania. You could try either calling that village and asking for his phone number/address, or going there. Good luck!

We must be on the same brain wave. I was looking to see if there was something on levitating vehicles research and I found your article. I have had similar thoughts for years and recently wrote an article on my website about the 6,000 year old wheel invention that has long been obsolete. The internal combustion engine and its thirst for oil that is also obsolete.
Like you, I am not a scientist but I know there must be a way. Ideas come from people like you and I; scientists just need to figure it out. So much has been accomplished with communication in such little time. I am certain that we can do the same with transportation if we put our minds and money into it. Once the break come thru it won’t take long to revolutionize transportation.
I sense as you that the answer lies in magnetic fields and the ability to reverse gravity. If we could achieve such we could be catapulted into space instead of burning tons of fuel. The future of transportation has to be on levitation so that we can convey at different elevation levels without the use of the also outdated and expensive multi-lane highway. No more highways, traffic jams and oil dependency.
Like you I will be waiting for someone to materialize our ideas.

Hi
I think your Idea is great, I have come up with some of “my own” ideas on this subject and also have a limited physics knowledge and would think it would be great to talk to someone who is interested in this.
if you would like to hear my own Ideas please Email me
