They are in order of appearance, Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth and Leonardo DeCaprio’s The Eleventh Hour.

A case of too little too late? Not so, according to both movies which managed to run their length without a mention of antigravity or gravity control. We salute those movies and their makers as purveyors of hope.

The fuel-less society may have to wait a little longer while we do a bandaid fix and test the hybrids.

As a future fuel, my money’s on water but gravity control is the peerless method of getting around. And the energy is free.

Another sampling of W. David Barclay’s book now posted in its entirey at www.gravitycontrol.org

The inefficiency of utilizing uranium as a nuclear fuel cannot be exaggerated
as nuclear energy represents the most inefficient system ever employed to
produce electricity.

The only reason a sustained fission reaction is possible is due to the non-
uniformity of the fuel, as without the factor of non-uniformity it would not
work, but nuclear scientists have yet to realize this fact.

In order to understand the associated dangers of nuclear reactive processes it
is of some importance to understand how elements like U235 came to exist
within the geology of our planet, as they did not simply form in the ground.

Water is the fuel of the future, as far as fuels go.

So what’s the problem, why are we so hung-up on oil?

Most do not seem to understand why water makes such a fantastic fuel.

Water is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen and hydrogen has the highest ratio of energy per unit of mass of any known element.

So what we have is the most highly energized and highly stable molecular structure possible, in the form of water, whereby once converted to gas this hydrogen/oxygen mix will provide more power and more miles per gallon than any other known fuel.

Water is simply amazing, but there is more.

The ratio of energy per unit of mass associated with water can be increased even further by simply increasing the waters ratio of energy to mass. And when water is converted to hydrogen gas and oxygen gas the ratio of energy to mass is increased even further.

So here we have the perfect fuel, which is readily available, renewable and non-polluting.

This is not a joke folks, this is for real.

There is no energy crisis because the technology is already available, whereby it should be possible to convert every car and truck on the road to run on water.

One such engine was built and tested in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada only a couple of years ago……….the engine itself weighed roughly 100 lb. and provided 400 hp.

Yet, we hear next to nothing about any of this………where are the auto makers?

I must assume they live under the thumb or the heel of big oil.

The missing link is an understanding of water as an efficient fuel.

Water can provide the energy requirements of our human industry in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.

There are no excuses……….we have an answer and the answer is water.

Water can power an electric car or fuel an internal combustion engine and either way it’s a winner.

It started out with a full-page ad in The Economist magazine challenging the world’s physicists to a duel: Come test our machine, and prove us right or wrong. That was in 2006.

Now July, 2008 and on the last public test, ‘it was the bearings that broke down’.

Some things to remember about Steorn – they were an ad and pr company that got caught in the dot com bust so they wouldn’t be totally unaware of pulling off publicity stunts.

Here are some more recent comments from ZDNet:

Steorn, described by one observer, is a busted flush. The scorn for Steorn is mounting. Others believe they’ll pull through at the eleventh hour or perhaps send a post card all the way from South America.

Whatever the results, it’s been an interesting ride and Steorn is not the first to speak and (almost) demonstrate a magnet motor.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

John Bedini of the Bedini Electronics company is an electrical engineer noted for the invention of the Bedini Audio Spectral Enhancer, an audio signal processor that was used to enhance stereophonic effects in various commercial recordings in the early and mid-1990s. Additionally, on his personal Web site, Bedini has self-published a number of articles related to experimental methods for generating and transmitting electrical energy.

Bedini is one of many engineers who claim to have designed or co-designed[2] machines that do not adhere to the first or second laws of thermodynamics, which relate to conservation of energy. Such inventions are generally considered perpetual motion machines and in principle impossible. Bedini has registered at least one patent for such a device.

The Steorn question for many has been answered with calls of fraud. This has caused Steorn supporters to kick into knee jerk action and so far, they’re standing tough. If it’s a game they’ve probably pushed it as far as it will go. If it’s not, well….

Plans to develop a commercial spaceport are in the works, with a estimated cost of $265 million (USD). The location will be about an hour from Dubai, and already has commitments for $30 million (USD). Known as the UAE Spaceport, or the Ras Al Khaimah spaceport, it will be used to launch suborbital tourist flights.

The suborbital space transportation system has been designed by Myasishchev Design Bureau, a leading Russian aerospace organization which has developed a wide-array of high performance aircraft and space systems. Explorer, as it has been named, will have the capacity to transport up to five people to space and is designed to optimize the customer experience of space travel, while maintaining the highest degree of safety.

Funding for the project includes the government of Ras Al Khamiah, Space Adventures and Prodea. Space Adventures, the company behind the UAE Spaceport, is the only company to have successfully launched private explorers to space, is headquartered in Arlington, Va. with offices in Cape Canaveral, Fla., Moscow and Tokyo. It offers a variety of programs such as the availability today for orbital spaceflight missions to the International Space Station, commercial missions around the moon, Zero-Gravity and MiG flights, cosmonaut training, spaceflight qualification programs and reservations on future suborbital spacecrafts. The company’s advisory board comprises Apollo 11 moonwalker Buzz Aldrin, shuttle astronauts Kathy Thornton, Robert (Hoot) Gibson, Charles Walker, Norm Thagard, Sam Durrance, Byron Lichtenberg, Pierre Thuot and Skylab astronaut Owen Garriott.

Dubai has been developing with a frenzy in recent years. Their soon to open amusement park (DubaiLand) will be twice as large as Disney World, they’re host to many of the most advance architectural designs, and the Spaceport will be another attraction as interest in space tourism also develops.

This is not the only spaceport, although it will probably be the most advance. List of spaceports
