Safety Information

Safety Docs -Please download and read a copy of the Safety-Guidelines documentation from American Antigravity, as shown in the left-hand column. Lifter-technology currently involves working with very high voltages, so you should take the safety precautions recommended in the safety-documentation to help you stay safe while testing Lifters.

 

Monitor vs. GRA- Computer monitors are much easier to find than a good high-voltage supply, but they often produce unreliable test-results due to manufacturing and design differences between different models. Additionally, the picture-tube on a computer monitor can store a dangerously high potential-voltage, similar to a very-high voltage capacitor.

The GRA supply from Information solves many of the problems of working with a computer monitor, and AAG recommends it as a good, safe alternative if used in the manner recommended by Informaiton Unlimited. You can find more out about these supplies on the Info Unlimited website.

Power Supplies - The American Antigravity website recommends the GRA power-supply only because we have had great success with it and found it to have a reasonable price. There are a variety of high-voltage supplies available on the internet that may provide similar performance, although we have not had the opportunity to test those. We do NOT profit from the sale or use of Informaiton Unlimited's power-supplies.

Safety Disclaimer - The information on buliding and testing Lifters is provided with the understanding that American Antigravity is not responsible for any damage or injuries that may occur as a result of working with Lifters or high-voltage equipment. The reader assumes all risk for any damage or injury sustained while working with HV and Lifter technology.

Lifter Plans for the GRA3 HV-Supply

We've created a set of plans especially for the GRA3 power-supply from Information Unlimited. The GRA3 is a 30kV power supply with a 12-volt input current, which slightly changes some of the steps involved with testing your new Lifter.
