The Anti-Gravity Handbook: Expanded and Revised Third Edition

One of many books on anti-gravity. No doubt our government already has this technology. One day we all may.have it

very informative

I have the first edition from 1985. For those with a bizarre sense of humor... this book is a delight. A hodgepodge of pseudo-science nonsense, humor, and pop culture references. It's just a bit of fun.

pages 110 thru 127 T townson brown where to start,is American yet 110 is a paper by him missing many pages than diagrams of anti-gravity devices 140 thru 146 all the components are numbered but no words to tell us what they are. Missing paperwork but Page 138 and 139 are the inventors killed over the years by space force CEOs anyone out there who has seen anti-gravity by accident of you had this large current and suddenly this thing floated don t show it to anyone from the pentagon or just keep it to yourself !next page 191 diagrams with paperwork from 1929 ha ha ha ha funny and after those pages the book should have come with a magnifying glass ther print is very small! I saw this when they first killed brown in 1984 I like reading your books regardless of they're lack of information I can tell your doing your best!

Good book

Nothing original here. If you have read anything else on the subject, you have seen everything in this one. Most articles are bad photocopies of old articles, most of which are available for free on the internet. In some the font is so small a magnifying glass is required to read it. Don't waste your money.

Like many books of this type, it has some tongue in cheek moments. It talks about flying saucers, anti-gravity projects and general pseudo-science. I enjoy reading these mindless books, but the author really needs to have an English speaking person proof read these before publishing. I also find it amazing how many mis-spelled words and odd paragraphs are in here. I know the author is not a native English speaker, so you would think someone that is would read this and edit it properly. Has some interesting pictures of the Nazi saucer mythos and all as well. Some drawings and photocopies of texts. Good if you are interested in this stuff and I have added to my collection, but all of these books would have more credibility if they had more polished editing.

ok

Brought as a gift. But have been told that the book is great and exactly what was expected.

excellent,would recommend

I'll confess that I haven't quite finished reading my way through this book yet. However, in summary, I can say that:- On the one hand the book introduces a number of very interesting topics presented in a free and independent-thinking manner (which is always healthy and refreshing), but the items often seem to have nothing to do with building anti-gravity devices;- On the other hand it is largely written by people who seem to have very little basic knowledge of physics or mathematics.As an example of my second point, the opening chapter doesn't leave the door open to the reader's confidence in the writer. I found myself writing critiques in the margins, as a teacher would do when marking an assignment submitted by a student! Such wording as "... the product of mass multiplied by ..." is not from the pen of someone with much knowledge of even basic college mathematics. Furthermore, he states that half an object's mass multiplied by the square of its velocity is its MOMENTUM, whereas every half-awake college physics student will tell you that that's the object's KINETIC ENERGY! He also bases much of his opening arguments on the statement that gravity is an acceleration downwards (i.e. towards the centre of the Earth) whereas gravity is actually a force, acting towards the centre of the Earth, which causes objects to undergo acceleration downwards when not prevented from doing so by some other force. Likewise, he claims that anti-gravity is an acceleration upwards, although, of course, anti-gravity would actually be a force opposing the force of gravity. Not quite the same thing. Einstein's Principle Of Equivalence suggests that, were we to find ourselves in a closed system, we would be hard-pushed to tell the difference between being acted on by a gravitational force and undergoing a constant acceleration. Not quite the same thing physically, however.Elsewhere, he claims that an electron has a zero rest mass!! This is clear rubbish!He also refers to the use of a handheld-sized Betatron. However, apart from the fact that you need very high powered electromagnetic devices to keep the electrons in such a tightly-bending path, you'd also have to deal with the fact that electrons forced to move in such a tight path would emit hard x-rays in the whole plane or motion!There is also an equation presented in a later chapter; an interpretation of the Biefield-Brown Anti-Gravity Equation. This is written in a way that not even a college physicist or mathematician would write it. Firstly, the mass m cancels out completely in the form as written! Secondly, the equation can be written in a simpler form. Just odd, in my view.There are other things I could mention but I think that's enough. My point is, if I'm reading something with a basis in mathematics and the sciences (particularly physics) then I'm not instilled with confidence when I see basic stuff being stated incorrectly or written unscientifically.After some time, though, I realised that I should stop reading it as a scientific book but as a bit of pure entertainment instead. I suggest you do the same if you ever find it in your hands one cold, stormy night. (I'd recommend you also accompany it with a malt whisky too!)

A complete mishmash of theories which are justified with "Ah but... What if?"Sorry, but some theories are just plainly erroneous, and wishing won't make them right.I'm writing this as an engineer who believes that there are other intelligent life forms with science far in advance of our own, but it's a shame that they didn't proof-read this as they might have found some interesting concepts among the numerous misprints and wild guesses...
