For a long time, the gravitational engine was considered by scientists as a certain pipe dream, which looks beautiful in theory, but is practically impossible. However, in recent years, in connection with the development of certain areas of physical science, this type of perpetuum mobile has gradually begun to take on very real outlines.
It should start with the fact that the gravitational engine, albeit so far in a theoretical form, is a special device that will facilitate the movement of individual bodies and objects without dropping the mass. In general terms, we are talking about using this type of matter, which has a huge supply of energy, to perform a certain work. The latter should be done due to the fact that the body will move directly under the influence of the gravitational field.
For a long time, the impossibility of creating such a device as a gravitational engine was associated with the fact that, according to Newton's laws, the work performed by this field with respect to a closed loop will be equal to zero, since this space itself is characterized by potentiality. Much has changed in connection with the emergence and development of the provisions of the general theory of relativity, according to which this process is possible, but it must be carried out in completely different ways than we are used to in the Earth.
In particular, one of the most promising should be recognized as an option based on a magnetic-gravity engine. Already, science knows the designs of Minato, Searl, Floyd, which, despite the fact that they have very significant technical flaws, represent a very decisive step on the path to the practical use of gravitational energy. Their undoubted advantages include cost-effectiveness and duration of activity.
Another confirmation that the gravitational engine, in spite of all its fantasticness, is not at all some unrealizable dream, is the use of similar schemes in modern astronautics. So, to correct the orbits of satellites and even space stations, special gyroscopes have been used for a long time and successfully, which allow the movement of objects without dropping masses.
In fact, today the main barrier that stands in the way of the gravitational engine turning from fantasy into reality is the lack of the necessary mechanisms to combine the efforts of magnetic, chemical and thermal forces with mechanical interaction. Moreover, such a system should be closed, and the fuel supply - sufficient for continuous operation.
If research on this device is successful, then mankind will receive not only modern aircraft engines with an economical and environmentally friendly mode of operation, but also will overcome a number of restrictions on the further improvement of various technical devices.
