: ALTERNATIVE PROPULSION SYSTEMS DEFINITIONS :
( And associated subsystems)
ANTI-G SUIT ;
Suit worn by astronauts and pilots to counteract the forces of gravity, inertia, and acceleration - with hopes of preserving conciousness. Also known as a G SUIT.
ANTI-GRAVITY ;
Any effect produced by a multitude of devices to repel, nullify, or interact with gravity, in order to propel said devices.For more see;

GRAVITATIONAL PROPULSION - ( DIRECT INTERACTION ) ;
Any machine or device capable of traveling through the direct interaction of it's parts with gravity and space. Picture the Einstein model of a gravitational field warping space due to mass influence. A Direct Gravitational Propulsion device interacts with warped space, or warps space in order to propel. Stevenson's Gyroscopically Stabilized Synchronized Split Mass Sphere made by James Stevenson in 1986 was an early device incorporating some of these features.For more information go to;

INERTIAL ;
By means of rotating or sliding mass in certain constrained motions, travel is produced in a net direction. Not unlike an "out of balance" washing machine that "walks" in a fashion. Gyros have been incorporated in some devices. A well known early device was "The Dean Drive". 1959 by Norman Dean.
LIFTERS ;
An asymmetrical capacitor when supplied with high voltage produces thrust. First discovered by Thomas Townsend Brown in 1928, this thrust is known as the Biefeld- Brown Effect. This device is sometimes compared to Major de Seversky's Ion propelled craft, in which an ion generated "wind" causes lift.
MAGNUS EFFECT ;
The lift or force gennerated perpendicular to the directional movement of a rotating object , such as a sphere , cylinder , or disk. Named after Heinrich Magnus who did a study of aerodynamic forces on spinning spheres and cylinders in 1852. Isacc Newton had mentioned the effect as early as 1672.
PASSIVE DYNAMIC PROPULSION ;
Passive Dynamic Propulsion concerns any machine or device capable of propulsion due to the influence of gravity. In it's simplest form a sphere rolling downhill. More complicated devices incorporate machinations involving Multi-Pedal pendula, enabling a side to side motion, partly due to a pedal curvature and pendular behavior of the body, in a forward direction on a downward slope.
SEG (a) ;
A detailed definition and description of operation of said magnetic rotor - roller - bearing systems , commonly known as the Searl Effect Generator , or Searl Electrostatic Generator . The Generator produces low to extreme - high - voltage , copious negative Ions , Ozone , and when overloaded , doubles as an antigravity - device and force - field generator .Russell Anderson,For further information go to;

SEG (b) ;
Stands for Searl Effect Generator. Based on technology created by Prof. John Searl. A multiple ring device composed of magnetic and non magnetic stages and rollers, producing a combination of electrostatic, magnetic, and gyro-inertial effects. Said to produce energy as well as propulsive effects.
