No need to do 17,000 mph to get into weightlessness, a well designed speed bump will do it for you (parabolic trajectory) at 30 mph more or less. Personally I prefer electro-dynamic braking better than treadmills built into the highway to save gas and maintenance costs, Harry. Fred

Q1. Doesn't the ramp just steal pennies from our petrol tanks? A1. The ramp is designed to be situated in parts of the roadway where vehicles are having to slow down anyway, for example on downhill gradients, when approaching traffic lights or roundabouts as well as being used to replace

I'm not so sure that it was faked. If true, this airship was flying several hundred to a thousand feet above the ground. Taking the sun angle and direction from cars and building shadows, the shadow of the airship should be at least 1000 to 2000 feet away. I saw a couple of candidates for the

While we're on the subject of ridiculous ways to extract energy from moving machinery, why not a robotic-coal-fired train with carloads of super-magnets going around in a circle inside a toroid tunnel? Over-Unity Roll-Around possible with computerized hydraulic-gravity-enhanced downgrade? Kits

Think about it. The energy generated is not meant to power vehicles. It is meant to power the traffic systems that driver's utilise. The energy costs of operating a vehicle are not just the cost of filling the gas tank or recharging a fuel cell or battery. These costs are born by municipal
