This is a pretty cool article over at WIRED [http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.08/pwr\_antigravity.html](http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.08/pwr_antigravity.html) I was a little syched at first, then it went a way a little bit 😉 but overall its pretty cool. My favorite quote is: _“My wife almost never comes down here when I’m doing this stuff… And the bigger arcs of lightning kind of freak her out.”_ I would imagine so. 🙂 ---

if you read all 4 pages youd know that they create an ion wind by elcricuting the air around it making a downward force that pushes them up, so no its not antigravity ---

i remember this one time the earth was spinning faster than usual and i couldn’t hold on, and it seemed everyone else had the gene or something to keep up with the earth’s speed and i didn’t. luckily it slowed down a bit and i found myself on the ground once more. true story. ---

Lol, I wonder if you go against gravity a bit, do you also not move as the speed of earth? =) ---

there is a theory about having all of the people in China walk at once, in stride, to the east, and slow the world to a stop… can’t remember where I heard it… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

I’m sure heard somewhere that if you packed everyone in the world into the same place (as small a space as possible) and got them all to belch in the direction of the sun at the same time, it could change the orbit of the Earth I say we try it! :thumb: [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/lifters/25202.md?page=2)
