I was originally going to post this in reply to another thread but I felt that it deserved its own thread just because of the implications that it could have for the Aerospace Industry at large: When military aircraft pilot performs extreme maneuvers their body undergoes massive G-forces. These G-forces can even cause the pilot(s) to black out and subsequently loose control of the aircraft. This is an obvious problem when performing high-G aerial maneuvers.
But, does Graphene (once again) have the solution to this problem?
I am sure that the readers are aware of the idea, that when a super conductor is cooled with liquid nitrogen and a magnet is placed on top of the super cooled, super conductor, a electric current flows to the surface of the super conductor, acting to exclude the magnetic field of the magnet (Faraday's law of induction). This current effectively forms an electromagnet that repels the magnet."(1)
Please see this before reading on: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws6AAhTw7RA - Quantum Levitation.
My idea is to have the pilot of the aircraft as the magnet that floats in the electromagnetic field of a super conductor. Making the pilot into magnet is the easy part. A graphene substance know as 'Aerogel'.(2) Aerogel is made from graphene so giving it, super conductive properties. If we made a suit for the pilot to wear and inducted a current through the suit, would the suit become like a magnet ?
The plane could be made from graphene, most probably, the surface layer of the aircraft would be made from graphene which would give the aircraft it super conductive properties. Graphene is superconductive at room temperature so the pilot would effectively just 'turn-on' his suit becoming the magnet that is repelled by the electromagnetic field of the super conducting aircraft as just levitates in the electromagnetic field.
This effect sounds very similar to the Biefield-Brown effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biefeld%E2%80%93Brown_effect) where leviation can be achieved through using the repulsion of electromagnetic and magnetic forces.
IF this technology is sound and does actually work (?) then the obvious implications are absolutely staggering for human-kind. For example; if a superconductor is repelled by the earth's magnetic field then doesn't it stand to reason that we could use these forces to propel our aircraft instead of using jet engines? In my layman mind I don't know the answer to this but I would like to say yes!
I do not know if this super conducting system is affected by the earths gravitational field but I get the, layman, impression that it is not affected in the traditional sense of a gravitational field. If the magnet which is floating in the super conductors electromagnetic field is NOT affected by gravity then would you have a aircraft that is not affected by G-forces, meaning, you can make a 9 G turn but those 9 G's are negated by the pilot being the magnet that levitates above the super conductor ?
A very interesting question too all the readers !
