Garden-shed genius
|
|
heads for the stars
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
Day trips to Australia and weekend jaunts in the Milky way could
|
|
become a reality, thanks to the brainpower of Scottish inventor.
|
|
|
|
Sandy Kidd's discovery, which is set to revolutionize travel,
|
|
is already sending shock waves through the scientific establishment.
|
|
One of Britain's top physicists described it "mind boggling."
|
|
|
|
Mr. Kidd's work, researched in his garden shed, will make science
|
|
fiction writers dreams come true. Trips to Mars will take 34 hours
|
|
and the journey from London to Sydney will be reduced to a matter of
|
|
minutes.
|
|
|
|
The 51-year-old former apprentice toolmaker's development of a
|
|
Gyroscopic Propulsion process has stunned academics because it
|
|
challenges Isaac Newton's Law of Motion.
|
|
|
|
He has worked out that, by setting gyroscopes at particular
|
|
angles, a lifting force that defies gravity is produced.
|
|
|
|
Mr. Kidd, who worked for five years on his brainchild at his
|
|
Dundee home, is now moving to the heart of the space industry in
|
|
California where a massive investment program is already underway.
|
|
|
|
Dr. Harold Aspden senior visiting research fellow at Southampton
|
|
University, has seen the results of early tests. "Scientifically
|
|
speaking it is a bombshell," he says. I would not have believed this
|
|
if I had not seen it with my own eyes.
|
|
|
|
"It will totally revolutionize the travel industry. Taken to the
|
|
ultimate, we will have planes without jet engines and helicopters
|
|
without rotor blades."
|
|
|
|
Mr. Kidd is being financed by an Australian research company. A

|
spokesman said: "We are on to something really big. The next stage
|
|
is to power up Sandy's device in California with the prospect of
|
|
building a full-scale vehicle at the end of the day. "Money is no
|
|
object, but we are determined that his work will get out."
|
|
|
|
At Imperial College, London, Professor Eric laithwaite, who has
|
|
followed Mr. Kidd's experiments, said: "I have always been convinced
|
|
it could be done . . . and I like to see someone defeat the system.
|
|
He may be a long time perfecting it but I sure he will succeed."
|
|
|
|
Mr. Kidd made the final breakthrough in this work highlighted in
|
|
the Sunday Express last year, about four weeks ago in a Laboratory
|
|
in Melbourne.
|
|
|
|
"There was just one thing I couldn't understand," said the former
|
|
RAF radar technician. "I had worked round the problem until that
|
|
day when it dawned on me.
|
|
|
|
IF I COULD FIGURE IT OUT WHY HASN'T SOMEBODY ELSE?"
