How grav drives work IRL

[MarcusIII]

Here is text from my TU rule book I wrote last year:

"Gravitic drives create a field around the ship out to several meters. Both people and small objects should be kept clear when activating the drive or they might get caught and pulled along with the ship."

Here is a link to the recent UFO video from the US military. I just watched and noticed that this is exactly how that gravity drive acts. Note what happens to the missile debris that gets caught in that field... Not that I hadn't been privy to other material from the US mil before this about the subject but nice to see a vid of this phenomenon in action.

You do know that has been debunked many times over, I can provide links...

here's a good one

Sorry but I was already briefed by a former NORAD commander on how the interceptor pilots were trained for just this situation and how to avoid it 25 years ago

When I was in either Form Three or Four, I came up with this as a possibility of an anti gravity drive.

Create a spin, and you get motivation.

Interesting indeed. Akin to sailing!

I figured that we should create negative gravitational pressure in the centre, and somehow, spinning was involved.

I was thinking more reverse Formula One.

It's fun to speculate how it would all work.

To be fair, it wouldn't.

However, we have hamster cages and double hulls, and if we get them to spin fast enough, with the interior lined with some form of unobtanium, possibly energized, it might create an equivalent effect.

But, it was Physical Exercise period, and we were tossing frisbees around, which got me thinking.

There is almost zero chance of ever persuading someone who's into this stuff. Basically, people don't recover from this sort of thing.

Of course it doesn't work like that, but still interesting
