AmericanAntigravity.com Rebooted -- Again
For the second time now, Tim Ventura has started rebuilding his
excellent site covering a
wide array of topics in the directly-related fields of anti-gravity, lifters,
UFOs, as well as tangent fields of free energy, weird science and disruptive
technologies.
by Sterling
D. Allan
Pure Energy Systems News

Years ago, beginning in 2002, one of the great pillars of the alternative media
field was Tim Ventura's AmericanAntiGravity.com
website. He had over 50 written, 60 audio, and nearly 100 video interviews on a
wide array of topics in the directly-related fields of anti-gravity, lifters,
UFOs, as well as tangent fields of free energy, weird science and disruptive
technologies.
You might remember it back when it looked like this:

It went dormant in about 2006-7, with virtually no new content due to
Ventura's burnout, frustration, and other personal issues.
Then late in December of 2009, Ventura announced he was getting it going
again. Unfortunately, he also launched a new infrastructure so all the
previous links were dead. We posted the following bullet in our news
announcing this:
That lasted for maybe two or three months, after which it went dormant again.
Now, he's starting over. All previous content is gone, and he's started
posting pages, warming up the leftovers from before. Again it is great
content. But I don't know that it would be wise to just link to his
stuff. If you like it, you might be best served to make a copy of it
somewhere and link to it there so it's not lost.
Here's what he wrote in a LinkedIn email announcement of the
"Re-Launch":
I'm not 25 anymore: it's been 10 years, and I've got a different perspective. I've also still got a sizeable audience after all this time, so I wanted to put up a more mature, more sophisticated site. The focus is on disruptive science and technology, NOT just on aerospace, antigravity, or warp-drives.
I'm not trying to make a profit with American Antigravity: at this point it's just a tech-blog, and I'm happy with that. My own interest is in interviewing intelligent people with innovative ideas, so that's what I'm going to do. I try to avoid interviewing the real wing-nuts, but ultimately my goal is to provide information and context, and then let you make your own decisions.
I've been working VERY hard on a clean, well-organized interface. Everything seems to work smoothly at this point, and I expect that will help people have a good experience on the site. It also has a great search feature & automated "related topics" to help you find threads on specific topics.
If you like the site, please recommend it to a friend.
Here's an excerpt from what he wrote in his first post
re-launching the site on September 23, 2011.
"The goal of this project is to rebuild American Antigravity as an
easy-to-use portal to allow you to quickly locate material relevant to your
own interest areas.
"I don't claim that every subject that I've covered is real: the truth
is that I simply don't know. I try only to interview credible people, but it's
sometimes difficult to tell, and I urge you to be your own judge of right and
wrong, and not take my (or anyone else's) opinion on any particular subject's
veracity. I can tell you this: exotic technologies ARE real I've seen some
really groundbreaking things with my own eyes on several occasions."
To go back through time, you can visit http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://americanantigravity.com
In an email to me just now, he wrote: "I'm going to start doing some interviews again, as soon as I finish retyping all my story & interview descriptions."
Here's an index of his new content. 32 items in 16 days -- two per day on
average. Let's hope he keeps it up this time.

Harold
Berndt is an incredibly determined man, and with two decades as a
top-producing real estate agent under his belt he's got the
experience to get things done. His interest in UFO's started after a
sighting in 2004 that became his inspiration to start looking for
answers, something that eventually led him to the Disclosure
Project. Since then he's gone UFO-spotting with Dr. Steven Greer and
helped John Hutchison do research - two of the many remarkable
experiences that we discuss in this interview.
In
June 2010 I took a business trip to a conference in Dallas, Texas,
and had the opportunity to visit the Grassy Knoll with Steve Lorimer,
a business associate. The conference was held at Renunion Center in
downtown Dallas, and we stayed busy enough at the conference that we
nearly forgot about the Grassy Knoll until the day before we had to
fly back. I looked up the address on Mapquest, and to my surprise
found that the Grassy Knoll is only a couple of blocks away from
Reunion Center, so we took our rental car over to check it out.

Dr.
Stanislav Adamenko is the director of Proton 21, a Ukrainian nuclear
research lab experimenting with nucleosynthesis, the process of
building atoms from the ground up. They've devised a new process for
nucleosynthesis that's initiated by accelerated electrons to
create a shockwave in teardrop shaped sample targets. The shockwave generates
pressures normally found only in a nuclear detonation, overcomes the
Coulomb barrier for target atoms, and generates what Adamenko claims
are synthetic atoms.

The
Hutchison Effect is featured on television quite regularly, and in
most of those programs you'll see a few seconds of the Hutchison
Effect at a time interspliced with commentary by talking heads
like Col. John Alexander, George Hathaway, and usually John
Hutchison himself. The grainy, blurred footage typically shows a few
"classic" spots of the Hutchison Effect, such as a levitating
bowling ball, flying broom, liquifying metal cylinder, glowing metal
file, and a metal cylinder spontaneously crumbling into dust on a
table.
October 4th, 2011
I've
known John Hutchison for close to a decade now, and I know him well:
I've visited his lab in New Westminster several times and spent many
hours there. I've spent countless hours talking with him on the
phone, and I've been an advocate for his research for a long time. I've
met George Hathaway, interviewed Mel Winfield, and talked with John
Alexander and a other military scientists who have studied his work.
The more I learn about John's life, the more impressive he is, both
as an innovator as well as a human being.
October 3rd, 2011
Dr.
Lisa Randall is a leading scientific authority on M-theory, an
incredibly powerful model of theoretical physics that offers
solutions to problems that are off-limits to conventional physics.
The core idea is that the there are 11 dimensions in the universe,
contained on different membranes. Billions of years ago, two of
those membranes collided in space, and the overlap between them
became the big bang. M-theory offers big answers to questions about
how our universe began, but that's not what I wanted to speak with
her about.
October 3rd, 2011
Dr.
Kiril Chukanov believes that he can extract zero-point energy from a
stabilized ball lightning plasmoid, and he's built the "Angelina"
series of zero-point energy generators to prove it. They're massive
devices, and look a bit like oversized industrial microwave ovens
and to the best of my knowledge, that's what they are. My
understanding of his work is that he's using microwaves to stimulate
the ball lightning plasmoids in a baryometric chamber, and then
extracting what he claims is zero-point energy.
October 2nd, 2011
I
caught up with Larry Oja at TeslaTech, where he was demonstrating a
Brown's Gas electrolyzer. This sounds more complicated than it is:
add water, plug it into a wall outlet, and it produces Brown's Gas
on demand. The next question is obvious why do we want to make
Brown's Gas? The answer is simple: Brown's Gas is made from water,
and when you burn it, it turns back into water. It's 100%
environmentally friendly. Brown's Gas is inexpensive and easy
to make, and in today's energy market that makes it hot stuff.
October 2nd, 2011
Financial
specialist Gabriella Draney works for Mutual Capital Alliance, a
venture-capital firm exploring the market opportunities in
alternative energy investment. This isn't an easy task, as there are
a lot of unworkable ideas and more than a few downright scams
presented as solid alternative energy investments. Even after
separating the wheat from the chaff, investors are then tasked with
determining whether the technology they're reviewing can find
commercial acceptance or will fail in the marketplace.
October 2nd, 2011
Gravitational
waves were predicted by Albert Einstein nearly 100 years ago, and at
the time it was realized that they had the potential to transmit
energy as a form of gravitational radiation. Astronomers typically
look for low frequency gravitational waves in stellar events, but
Dr. Robert Baker Jr. believes that we can create high frequency
gravitational waves here on earth in the laboratory. In this
interview we discuss some initial applications for high
frequency gravitational wave technology.
October 2nd, 2011
Major
Ed Dames, long retired, is basically the spokesman for remote
viewing, which is a structured approach to psychic clairvoyance
perfected by the military in the 70′s. The idea behind remote
viewing is pretty neat: it assumes that everyone has some level of
psychic ability to "see with the mind", but that there's a lot
of noise interfering with the signal. The military's approch to
the signal-to-noise problem was to have teams of psychics focus on
the same event, and then throw out all the data that didn't match.

A
while back I was invited to a guest lecture at the Ramtha
School of Enlightenment. It was an exciting proposition, and I was
secretly hoping to find enlightenment, but didn't find it at the
Ramtha School of Enlightenment. The problem wasn't them, it was
me: I had my own issues to solve, although I didn't realize it at
the time. In any case, I'm pretty sure that I was the first
journalist to visit the Ramtha School of Enlightenment, and I
attempted to describe what I experienced in a balanced way in this
article.
October 1st, 2011
Water
pollution is a global problem, and we've got just as many issues
with water pollution here in the United States as anybody else in
the world. According to Ralph Suddath, we've got worse problems,
because chlorinating our water to kill germs is creating supergerms
that science is only beginning to discover. Most people who are
aware of our water pollution issues drink bottled water, but recent
studies show harmful bacteria in that as well. How bad is our water
pollution? Bad enough that Suddath is leaving the country.
October 1st, 2011
The
Salton Sea in California contains enough geothermal energy locked in
salt brine to meet the entire electrical needs of the United States
20 times over if it could be harnessed electrically. That requires
spinning a turbine, and only the Tesla turbine is durable enough for
it. Jeff Hayes discusses the engineering challenges involved
with harnessing geothermal energy with a Tesla turbine system, as
well as the unique characteristics of this the Tesla turbine that
allow it to outperform conventional bladed turbines.
September 30th, 2011
Pete
Bitar is the founder of Xtreme Alternative Defense Systems, and
he's got a vision. The Anderson, Indiana based defense-startup is
out to rewrite the rules of engagement for law-enforcement and the
military by producing a new breed of Non-Lethal Weapons to disable
an attacker at a distance without causing permanent injury. He joins
us to discuss the future of non-lethal weapons and explain
what makes XADS one of the hottest new non-lethal weapons developers
of the 21st century.
September 30th, 2011
Looking
for ET? Put down the binoculars, because Dr. Ron Milione has a
magnetometer-based UFO detector that tracks airborne UFOs regardless
of atmospheric conditions. Milione moonlights as an instrumentation
designer for the "Ghost Hunters" TV series, so moving from
ghosts to UFO's isn't that big of a switch especially for
Milione. The PhD electrical engineer is a fan of anomalous
phenomenon, and a firm believer in the measurability of events.
That's why he built the UFO detector.
September 30th, 2011
Although
first described in Igor Witkowski's "The Truth About The
Wunderwaffe", the Nazi Bell didn't gain notoriety until Nick
Cook's "The Hunt for Zero Point", and ever since speculation
about the Nazi Bell has run wild. Witkowski himself believes that
the Nazi Bell was an advanced propulsion device based on German
research in Quantum Mechanics, and Nick Cook seems to largely agree
with him. However, others speculate that the Nazi Bell may
have been anything from a water tower to a time travel experiment.

Flying
Cars! When can I buy one? Back in the 50′s they were sure
we'd all have flying cars by 2000. In the 60′s the Jetsons
used their flying car for grocery shopping, and in the 70′s
and 80′s Popular Science was running articles on flying cars
pretty regularly. Over time they've become a staple of science
fiction movies, with flying cars in Blade Runner, The Fifth Element,
and Back to the Future 2, just to name a few. Those examples
are fictional, so we've interviewed Paul Moller to find out when
we can expect to see flying cars in real life.
September 29th, 2011
Hubbert's
Peak Oil isn't a myth: it's a reality that we're seeing played
out in rising prices at the pump on a daily basis. The price of gas
keeps rising because our supply of crude is declining. Big oil says
the problem is a lack of refining ability due to strict regulations,
but that's not the real problem. The simple truth is that we're
running out of oil. That's why disasters like the Gulf of Mexico
spill happen: because the easy oil is long gone, and companies like
BP have to push harder, dig deeper, and drill in more extreme
locations.
September 29th, 2011
Vlad
Aspel is the self-confessed master, slave, and moderator of
ZPEnergy.Com. It's not easy running one of the hottest
breakthrough-energy forums online, but it certainly can be
rewarding. ZPEnergy brings together scientists, engineers, and
innovators from different walks of life to meet and collaborate on
zero-point energy research. Make no mistake: Vlad's a
revolutionary. The Guy Fawkes mask in his social networking profile
pics is a testament to the past stigma of zero-point energy research and
his tenacious drive to pursue it.
September 29th, 2011
Biefeld-Brown.
The Searl Effect. Beamships. You name it, Russell Anderson's into
it. For over 20 years, Anderson's approach to Electrogravitics is "if you build it, they will come", and as an avid contributor to
science fairs, hobbyist magazines, and Electrographics social groups
his philosophy is getting results. He doesn't just talk about
Electrogravitics: he builds the devices, carefully documents his
work, and then displays them for others as proof of concept
demonstrations to create excitement and foster involvement.
September 26th, 2011
The
name Aurora invokes awe in the aerospace industry. It's a Mach-6
hypersonic aircraft that nobody's sure exists. The technology for
it was developed back in the 70′s using hypersonic wind-tunnel
experiments conducted by Paul Czysz. Later on, he took that research
to the Reagan administration's NASP project, with the goal of
developing a hypersonic "Orient Express" capable of traveling
from New York to Tokyo in 2 hours. However, NASP research was too
expensive so the government shut it down or did they?
September 26th, 2011
Al
Bielek claims to have been at the center of the Philadelphia
Experiment, one of the most controversial conspiracy theories of the
20th century. Did the United States Navy apply the research of
Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, and others in an attempt to make a
ship invisible? Did the USS Eldridge in fact become invisible during
testing in the Philadelphia Navy Yard in 1943? Did it travel to
another dimension? Bielek claims the answer to all these questions
is yes, and provides details on how it worked and what
went wrong.
September 25th, 2011
UFOs
and free energy. The Disclosure Project and SEAS power. Steven
Greer, the frontman for these groups, appears on late-night talk
radio all the time, but if you want an insider's view then you
want Ted Loder. He's the man behind the scenes at both the
Disclosure Project and SEAS power, and we caught up with him at
STAIF for an exclusive interview. He knows all the Disclosure
Project UFO testimony verbatim, and reviewed all the free energy
proposals that SEAS has ever seen, and has decades of university
experience.
September 25th, 2011
Slow
the heart rate, cool the body, and you've got hypersleep. Drain
the blood, freeze the body, and you've got cryonics. While
hypersleep is a staple technology in science fiction, cryonics is
being refined in the real world, and Dr. Ralph Merkle is here to
discuss it. Cryonics is an old technology: Walt Disney's been a
corpsicle since the 60′s, but it takes more than liquid
nitrogen to make cryonics work. The missing piece of cryonics is
reviving the patient, but Merkle believes that nanotechnology and
nanomedicine provide a solution.
Nazi
UFOs? Viktor Shauberger, Vril, and the Haunebu flying saucers are
well known Nazi UFO mythology, but far less is known about the Nazi
Bell. That's where Dr. Joseph Farrell comes in. His insatiable
appetite for history puts him in the spotlight with the release of "SS Brotherhood of the Bell". He offers new insight into the
history of the Nazi Bell and the Nazi SS group led by Hans Kammler
that created it, along with historical context on decades of Nazi
UFO mythology. Is the Nazi Bell a myth, or something more?
September 25th, 2011
Dr.
Bonnie Dunbar shares with us her vision for the future of
space and the aerospace industry, and talks with us about her past
role as a NASA astronaut and her current work as the Director of the
Museum of Flight in Seattle. She speaks about the value of
collaboration in the aerospace community as well as the
role of the Museum of Flight in preserving our aerospace
history. Her experience is crucial in helping the museum provide an
accurate picture of the past and shaping our dreams of the
future.
September 25th, 2011
Time
travel? Parallel Dimensions? A while back I heard a rumor about a
man who'd experienced them both firsthand. I tracked down Bill
Ramsey, and he confirmed that something had happened but wasn't
ready to talk about it. Time travel? Yes although it took him a
long time to put the experience into those words, and even longer
before he was ready for an interview. In this exclusive, Bill speaks
for the first time in public about time travel and parallel
dimensions, and how a simple experiment sent him hurtling
through time.
September 24th, 2011
Physics
says that faster-than-light travel is impossible, but how can
mankind explore the stars without it? There is another solution:
wormholes offer an opportunity to connect distant points in space,
bypassing the need for FTL propulsion. Not only is the existence of
wormholes supported by physics, but the convergence of computing and
nanotechnology in modern science may provide new avenues of research
for engineering wormholes to provide communications, energy
generation, and even interstellar colonization.
September 23rd, 2011
Footage posted
by Dr. Terry Moore on YouTube shows a single-roller Searl Effect
Generator in operation. Moore describes these demonstrations as
necessary for the patent-process in order to collect data required
scientific data. SEG rotation in both videoclips is quite smooth and
consistent with Searl's claims, despite the mock-up not being a
fully-functional device. The Searl Effect is claimed to be a free
energy and antigravity "prime mover" by John Searl, who has
promoted it as a potential solution to future energy and
transportation needs.
September 23rd, 2011
Spontaneously
melting metals. Objects flying around haphazardly. Strange glows
manifesting in the air, and suddenly disappearing. The Hutchison
Effect is one of the strangest and most well-documented physics
anomalies ever discovered. It's been filmed dozens of times at
first on reels of Super-8 film in the early 80′s, and later by
television crews from around the world. Numerous theories abound as
to why it may happen, but the best person to ask about the effect is
the person who discovered it, John Hutchison.
September 23rd, 2011 \
I'm
interested in exotic technologies, and like everybody in this area,
I'm a bit of a collector. I've got an enormous digital library
of audio, video, written stories + interviews, and graphics for a
variety of topics in what I call "alternative science". The goal
of this project is to rebuild American Antigravity as an easy-to-use
portal to allow you to quickly locate material relevant to your own
interest areas.
The title of my site, American
Antigravity, is a bit of a misnomer it started as a project to
record my experiments with Lifters back in 2002, and quickly grew
into a clearinghouse for media related to all types of innovative
physics & engineering projects. It didn't take long before my
own work shifted to interviewing scientists and inventors about
theirs, and now I have over 50 written, 60 audio, and nearly 100
video interviews on a wide array of topics.
