Lifter 3 Prototype

American Antigravity has performed extensive preliminary testing on a 3-foot, multi-cell Lifter design. This design was intended for use with a 250 watt, 50kV power-supply, but functions well in tests using only the conventional 30watt, 30kV computer-monitor power supply.

Lifter3 Construction: The Lifter 3 was constructed in the same manner as a normal 4-cell multi-cellular lifter would be.

 

Two lifter cells were built simultaneously as separate lifters, with the interior cell being half the overall length on a side as the exterior cell.

 

Both cells were covered appropriately with a 3-cm foil-skirt, and the interior cell was mounted at an angle within the exterior cell.

GRA Power-Supply

This indoor test was conducted to demonstrate the GRA-series power-supply from Information Unlimited.

Outdoor Test [Top]

Shown in a recent outdoor test, the Lifter 3 is tethered approximately 1 meter off the deck, demonstrating its real-world functionality.

Outdoor Test [Bottom]

This photo shows the Lifter from below during a recent outdoor test. The Lifter did not encounter serious stability issues.

Outdoor Test [Distance]

This photo shows the Lifter outdoors from a distance, to better convey the scale of this device. This photo shows a test using only a 30-watt supply.

The Lifter 3 Power-Supply

The Lifter 3 will be powered by a 50 kilovolt, 5 mA power-supply with a total output of 250 available watts. This supply is manufactured by Information Unlimited, and is sold in either the Hvolt50 (50kV) or Hvolt100 (100kV). click here
