Inverse Gravity Vehicle (IGV)

The Inverse Gravity Vehicle is a craft designed to take full advantage of the SEG’s unexpected propensity to lift and defy the force of gravity.

The IGV is structurally designed to support and integrate a very large and powerful scaled up version of the SEG within a suitable flight controlled frame in the form of a slender disc.

Initial prototypes simply sped up and got lost skyward regardless of obstacles such as ceiling or roof structures, for this reason John called them “fire crackers”, but very expensive ones at that.

The incorporation of a dielectric layer gated or regulated the output and with the development of the disc shape outer body, enabled him to control it during flight with an innovative 64 flight cell switching relay system that made it agile and maneuverable by the 1960s.
