  2. Wilbur R. Franks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilbur_R._Franks

    He was born in Weston, Ontario and was a medical graduate at the University of Toronto. As a cancer researcher at the Banting and Best Medical Research Institute at University of Toronto, Franks developed an idea that resulted in the world's first anti-gravity suit or G-suit. Franks had noted that his test tubes often broke when subjected to ...

    It was used to maintain blood pressure during surgery. In the 1940s and after undergoing numerous modifications, the suit was refined for use as an anti-gravity suit (G-suit). Further modification led to its use in the Vietnam War for resuscitating and stabilizing soldiers with traumatic injuries before and during transportation. [13]

  4. Anti-gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-gravity

    Anti-gravity (also known as non-gravitational field) is the phenomenon of creating a place or object that is free from the force of gravity. It does not refer to either the lack of weight under gravity experienced in free fall or orbit , or to balancing the force of gravity with some other force, such as electromagnetism or aerodynamic lift .

  5. United States gravity control propulsion research - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_gravity...

    Literature from that period used the terms anti-gravity, anti-gravitation, baricentric, counterbary, electrogravitics (eGrav), G-projects, gravitics, gravity control, and gravity propulsion. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Their publicized goals were to discover and develop technologies and theories for the manipulation of gravity or gravity-like fields for ...

  6. Gravitational interaction of antimatter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_interaction...

    Repulsive gravity is then described by adding extra terms (m g Φ g and m g A g) to the wave equation. The idea is that the wave function of a positron moving in the gravitational field of a matter particle evolves such that in time it becomes more probable to find the positron further away from the matter particle.

  7. Halo-gravity traction device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo-gravity_traction_device

    Halo-gravity traction (HGT) is a type of traction device utilized to treat spinal deformities such as scoliosis, [1] [2] congenital spine deformities, cervical instability, basilar invagination, and kyphosis. [3] It is used prior to surgical treatment to reduce the difficulty of the following surgery and the need for a more dangerous surgery.
