Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion: Tesla, UFOs, and Classified Aerospace Technology
A complete investigation of the development and suppression of antigravity and field propulsion technologies
• Reveals advanced aerospace technologies capable of controlling gravity that could revolutionize air travel and energy production
• Reviews numerous field propulsion devices that have thrust-to-power ratios thousands of times greater than a jet engine
• Shows how NASA participates in a cover-up to block adoption of advanced technologies under military development
In Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion , physicist Paul LaViolette reveals the secret history of antigravity experimentation--from Nikola Tesla and T. Townsend Brown to the B-2 Advanced Technology Bomber. He discloses the existence of advanced gravity-control technologies, under secret military development for decades, that could revolutionize air travel and energy production. Included among the secret projects he reveals is the research of Project Skyvault to develop an aerospace propulsion system using intense beams of microwave energy similar to that used by the strange crafts seen flying over Area 51.
Using subquantum kinetics--the science behind antigravity technology--LaViolette reviews numerous field-propulsion devices and technologies that have thrust-to-power ratios thousands of times greater than that of a jet engine and whose effects are not explained by conventional physics and relativity theory. He then presents controversial evidence about the NASA cover-up in adopting these advanced technologies. He also details ongoing Russian research to duplicate John Searl’s self-propelled levitating disc and shows how the results of the Podkletnov gravity beam experiment could be harnessed to produce an interstellar spacecraft.

In the 1950s when I was an avid reader of science fiction, I assumed that by now we would all be flitting through the air in levitating antigravity aircars like those in “The Jetsons” and the Starwars films. What happened? Paul LaViolette tells us what happened. The technology that would make it all possible has been swept up by the military-industrial complex and locked away in a vault of intense secrecy.
A physicist by the name of Thomas Townsend Brown, began research on electrogravitics during the 1920s. His revolutionary work on gravity control made him an important man in the scientific world. He took out patents and developed numerous working models of antigravity machines which strongly resembled our popular images of flying saucers.
During World War 2 he was inducted into the US Navy to continue his research for military purposes. It appears likely that he was involved in the notorious Philadelphia Experiment as a result of which he was forced to resign. Complete records of his military service and the circumstances of his discharge are missing.
He continued his research efforts for various corporations and laboratories until his death in 1985 but he had apparently lost the military’s full confidence and he received little if any government financing. Meanwhile, the military continued with their own gravity control projects as did many of the country’s largest defense contractors. Although the details of their research were kept secret, they made no secret of the fact that such research was being conducted and that it would have a tremendous impact. That was true until the 1960s when the military clamped down the lid of total secrecy, apparently, because there had been a major breakthrough. All public discussion of such research came to an abrupt halt and electrogravitics was moved into the realm of “black technology”.
The practical application of gravity control seems to based on the physics of subquantum kinetics as apposed to the “classical” but incompatible physics of general relativity and quantum mechanics. According to LaViollette, the theory of subquantum kinetics successfully overcomes many of the problems associated with “classical” theories. I am absolutely not qualified to have an opinion about this nor on the extensive mathematics that he offers by way of explanation. Judging by what’s available on the internet, LaViolette has the field of subquantum kinetics pretty much to himself, which makes him a lone genius or a foolish crank. On the other hand, there don’t seem to be many physicists out there who have bothered to refute LaViollette’s theories. All I know is, this book doesn’t read like the work of a fool or a crank.
Subquantum kinetics theory permits velocities at many multiples of the speed of light, something considered impossible under the theory of relativity. LaViolette explains how a superluminal spaceship might be powered using electrogravitic technology. It has been used by scientists and engineers (blessed with virtually unlimited funding and unhindered by concerns of conformity and “respectability” that permeate academic science) working on “black projects” since at least the 1950s.
According to LaViolette, the USAF’s B-2 bomber seems to incorporate electrogravitic principles in its design and construction which give it performance capabilities, such as the ability to hover silently, that are never seen publicly. It would appear that most, if not all, unexplained UFO incidents involve terrestrial military research aircraft. Since military electrogravitic technology (assuming it exists) is shrouded in secrecy, there is no way of knowing one way or the other, but he makes a convincing case.
Nick Cook’s “The Hunt for Zero Point” is a good book to read in conjunction with LaViollette’s work. It is much less technical and mostly concerns his investigation into the world of black technology.
Given the current state of humanity, perhaps it’s a good thing we don’t all have aircars. Think of the problems. Humans would be free to do anywhere, spewing their pollution, garbage, destruction, and bombs at will. There would be no defense. Fences would be useless. The entire planet would soon look like a landfill or worse. I, for one, am willing to wait for intelligent life to appear on Earth before turning electrogravitics loose.
If LaViolette is correct, however, this book should have a 5 star rating.

I picked my interest in the antigravity non-reactionary propulsion system while studying ancient Indian texts where there are special mentions of "Vimanas" which directly take off from the ground without leaving anything behind. Dr. LaViolette's research and particularly this book actually confirms the fact that we do have such systems but the government is not willing to share that with us. Shutting aside all UFO conspiracy theorists, just open your mind and read this book from a scientific angle and you will understand the schematics and history & even politics of these technologies.

Some interesting things if someone's got the patience. Patent stuff is eye-opening, what they will and will not allow and what has been patented. Recommended for rocket scientists.

This book is excellent.

A very interesting technical essay about electrogravitic research and the alleged applications of this suppressed technology. Not a particularly easy read, it's loaded with much technical jargon but it should be easy enough to grasp for anyone with a reasonable engineering knowledge. If what LaViolette presents in this book is true (or even a portion of it) then we've certainly had much cool stuff hidden from us over the years. An excellent book for those interested in speculative engineering and suppressed technologies.

Very detailed
This book goes into great detail about antigravity research and the possible use of it in some quarters of the military. I am sure that this research is now highly classified and will stay away from the public's eye forever

Must read for introduction to past, present,& future black projects and developments into latest advandements into elctrogravitic & magnetic method.

No new physics is needed. The Macwellian framework and Newton's third law are sufficient. There is no need to introduce a concept of antigravity.
