The Gravity of Anti-Gravity Read Online Free

answer is, eventually yes, but there are two reasons why I’d like to go the mechanical way first. The first is expense. A lot of the parts that generate the pulses and the circuits required to drive them are expensive or not even invented yet. And to design and manufacture them would cost millions.” I explained
    “So we’re stuck with the mechanical approach. If we can get the speeds up high enough, it should create enough particle chaos below our device to neutralize the gravitons.”
     
    When I finished explaining my theory to Pops, I saw the strangest look on his face. It was that cocked head, squinty-eyed, ‘you must be crazy’ look. But then the wonder of a small boy crept into his face as he organized his thoughts and got a grip on what I was saying.
    “Do you realize Billy boy what you are actually saying? If you could actually pull this off, it would be the greatest discovery of all time, of all time!” Pops repeated. “Do you really think you can out think most of the greatest thinkers in the history of the thinking world? You must have lost your marbles. And you want me to help you how? Billy I’ve got to think about this”.
    There was a small pause of about ten seconds during which time Pops seemed to look right through me. I’d triggered some center of imagination in Pops brain and he was deep in thought. I kept quiet while he went through this mental exercise.
    Slowly he turned away from me and I could hear him talking softly to himself. Suddenly he whipped around and calmly announced, “I’m in! When do we start?”
     
    Pops decision to help fired an elevated level of excitement in me and I began to explain my concept to him speaking more rapidly than I normally did.
    “The anti gravity machine will include five pods with rotating orbs inside,” I explained to Pops. “There will be four smaller ones, one on each corner in a frame about four feet square. Then there will be a center, main orb twice the size of the outer orbs. Each orb will have a reflective shell or pod made of a metal or alloy that will direct the ‘gravity confusing’ pulse downward toward the earth. The outer orbs will direct their beam at the beam of the larger middle orb. This will effectively chop the primary pulse into smaller and smaller vibrations. At just the right combination, bingo, we have lift-off!”
    “The power required is far beyond the ability of any battery available so we’ll have to hook our prototype up to the 220 Volt power available in the barn,” I added. “If the thing actually works, its flight radius will be limited to the length of the extension cord.”
    “The center orb needs to revolve at very high speeds - above 100,000 RPM’s. The outer orbs must spin at half the speed of the middle orb. It will take a machinist of extreme skill to create such a precise machine and Pops you are the only man I know who can do it.”
    “Billy, STOP!” Pops yelled. “You’ve filled this old brain beyond its current capacity already. Get me some engineering drawings to study and that should help me understand the hardware requirements even if I don’t understand the other mumbo jumbo.”
     
    It took an intense few weeks in my spare time to create the engineering drawings.
    As Pops studied them, he said “Billy, these are some really hard parts to manufacture. You’re using beryllium which is brittle and unless everything is perfectly balanced, these parts will be subject to breaking, especially at the rotation speeds you are planning.”
    “And you know Pops,” I added, “beryllium is toxic so you’ll have to use some heavy protection gear including a good respirator when you machine it. Then we come to the really big question, how do we pay for the stuff? Beryllium is somewhat rare and expensive.”
    “It may break the bank a little my young Frankenstein, oh sorry, I mean Einstein, but I’ve got a little loot stashed, away from your grandmother, waiting for a rainy day. By the way,” Pops
