ITT we discuss material costs & methods for making shit hover against gravity using no reaction mass (propellers & thrusters).
Please avoid posting EM field and resonance wave glowie bait pseudo science. We are trying to build something here and sell it to Elon Musk or someone not melt our brains talking about "meta materials". If you can not sketch it up in a CAD program & CNC it out on a mill let's not bother with it.
Discussion focusing on transforming centripetal momentum into linear momentum preferably using mercury will be given priority. This method seems like the easiest to build with the highest probability of working.
Even if you can build something with extreme acceleration, how you gonna keep the pilot from going smoosh?

Fill the cockpit with LCL just like in evangelion.
Kek not even joking if you filled the cockpit with water a human would feel practically jack shit up to 200g. Those UFO's instantly accelerating to mach 10 could easily have humans in them. Most midwits have no idea its possible to pull insane G forces by cheating like that.
That dude was nutz but large beetles do have resonant cavities on the inside of their shells. Has to do with static electricity but honestly it's not something that would be easy to build even if it was legit. High probability that there is something there though.
>Kek not even joking if you filled the cockpit with water a human would feel practically jack shit up to 200g do everyone a favor and fill your lungs with water

tech type CEO hey guy let's spend milions of dolars on basically poorly-defined research project that will take years if not decades to complete, and while we are at it let's speed up the computation by designing custom programing language running on our custom computing machine that uses selenium instead of silicon!
non-tech CEO hey guys, so our customers want a product that can hover in the air without any thrusters ? uhh, ohhh, guys! I found this on my pintrest!, bet we can get it already cheaply from China, I will set the delivery for late summer, let's start the pre-sales already!
How about “Patrick J. Kelley's, A Practical Guide To Free Energy Devices” ?

Unironically that is the only problem with this system. No one has a breathable liquid solution that doesn't fuck your lungs afterwards. You can still pull a shitload of G's if all you do is submerge the cockpit just not nearly as much as if the lungs were full of water as well. A breathable liquid is the holy grail of High G systems.
Engineers are constantly pissed at scientists for shilling bullshit ruth goldberg machines that are nearly impossible to actually manufacture.
Hopefully some kind glowie user can dump something on here that would be practical to make in a machine shop.
there's no difference in the acceleration it's just that the water if applying the force to him. You don't even have a high school level understanding of physics
Camden Lewis
Ur a fucking brainlet
The whole point is if you are in a UFO and the cockpit is filled with water you can accelerate like a UFO does and hardly feel anything.
I am not wrong you are just tarded. Acceptance is the first step to recovery user.
Yep but it seems harder to figure out the the gun in a box meme so I am sticking to trying to figure out a mercury based solution related to gun in box meme
Eli James
you are completely wrong. f=ma day one of physics you absolute moron
if you are accelerating a force is being applied to you and it is irrelevant if water or a chair is applying that force to you
I don't know, maybe the bell is just an inverted air foil. If you spin the mercury in the bell the geometry will create lift

Look up space warp dynamics. It's s small team who claim they can create microwarp bubbles using as little as 100 watts of power with intersecting tripole electrical fields. Most of their media has been scrubbed as they have formed a partnership and will be announcing it at the end of July. Phoneposting but will try and get the link later. They are now planning to scale it up.
It's good because by warping space, everything in the bubble doesn't experience G forces as it's the space around it moving.
I think it's a summary someone has put together. If this is legit it would revolutionise normal air travel as well as space travel.
The best part is that it doesn't use any exotic or expensive materials.

I have played with elemental Mercury in my hands . It was the most amazing element I had seen. A little bottle weighs heavier than big sized metals. It is completely fluid yet it doesn't stick to the surface at all. You break it and it'll recombine. It is truly otherworldly
Robert Ramirez
Word salad by a philosophy professor (link related). Whole thing looks low effort desu.
It could be BS, it certainly sounds too good to be true but many good inventions have come from men working in sheds. Guess we will have to wait and see. Chances are if its legit their new partner will be a Darpa like organisation who will force them into secrecy anyway.
"250,000 atmospheres at a temperature of 150 degrees Kelvin, and accelerated to 50,000 rpm"
Imagine falling for glowie bait and thinking you can't build this stuff in your garage because it's on the edge of what billions of dollars in Engineering can even make.
Not saying Superfluid at relativistic speeds would not work just saying its not feasible to actually build. If people keep FUD'in muh mercury I am just gonna double down even harder. A inertial transfer system is simple and easy to make.
Christopher Evans
it's not inertial you're like someone shilling horse carriages after the car was invented
