The Zero Gravity Device

by Garet Garrett

A retired auto factory worker sees a chance to develop an early childhood dream, and without any idea as to where his project will go, if it goes anywhere, or what to expect as he works on it, he proceeds to follow through with it. What he has unwittingly built, and discovered, is a new and radical source of locomotion which is about to revolutionize all the modes of human travel. The underlying reality of his invention is, that like so many "benign" inventions, when they get into the wrong hands, they are malleable, and unfortunately, are too easily capable of manifesting the baser aspects of subhuman intellect, and thus may then evoke an undesirable dark side.
