Gravitomagnetic Transformer Wot ?

Is it April 1st ? No, guess not, just had to check having read the abstract for this paper:

Are they talking anti-gravity machines here?

:shocked:

Not specifically in this paper, but allegedly you can arrange the "currents" of mass such that antigravitational effects are generated between them.

We've got antigravity anyway - we've got the cosmological constant ! LOL !

A simple gravity lift to the 2nd floor* (if I had such a thing) taking immeasurably short time and without the g-force-vomit ;) , would find its uses. Thx for the read. :cheers:

* Or 2nd step, perhaps? :think: Wow! Imagine the 'fits in a shoe' design. :lol:

Oh yes, gravity and electrical effects are completely analogous. Except gravity is much much weaker.

I found it cool when I realised that the Earth should be emitting gravitational waves as its orbits the Sun.
