Abstract
The invention presents a spherical device using superconducting electromagnetic fields to counteract gravity. The mechanism employs two sets of annular conductors carrying current in opposite directions within a strong magnetic field. The upper conductor group generates upward Ampere forces directed outward from the sphere's center, while the lower group creates upward forces directed inward. These combined forces offset the influence of gravity, theoretically enabling antigravity propulsion without relying on air or conventional fuel.
Structural Components
Primary Elements
- Outer shell — High-pressure, radiation-proof hollow spherical shell forming the craft boundary
- Upper partition plate — Divides interior into upper and lower chambers
- Lower partition plate — Second divider creating three distinct interior zones
- Central bar-shaped superconducting magnet — N-pole at top, S-pole at bottom, positioned along the central axis
- Magnetic shielding cylinder — Surrounds the central superconducting magnet, confining and shaping the field
- Upper annular conductor group — Multiple ring-shaped tubular conductors of varying diameters, arranged concentrically on the interior of the upper stress wall; current flows clockwise
- Lower annular conductor group — Similar ring conductors arranged on the exterior of the lower stress wall; current flows counterclockwise
- Insulating material wrapping — Applied to each conductor ring
- Open-ended lead boxes — Power connection interface for each conductor group
- Elastic elements — Structural support components
- Shock absorbers — Mechanical vibration damping elements
- Energy recovery device — Located in the central control room
Operating Principle
Current flows clockwise through upper conductors and counterclockwise through lower conductors. According to the left-hand rule (Ampere force principle), charged conductors in the superconducting magnetic field experience Lorentz forces:
F = IL × B
The vertical force components combine to create upward thrust on both stress walls. The upper conductor group produces forces directed outward from center (net upward component); the lower conductor group produces forces directed inward toward center (also net upward component). The combined force opposes gravity.
The magnetic induction intensity of contemporary superconductors exceeds 30 Tesla, which the patent cites as sufficient to generate the required field strengths for this mechanism.
Proposed Force Balance
For the upper annular conductor at radius r carrying current I in axial magnetic field B_z:
F_upper = IL × B_z (directed radially outward and upward)
For the lower annular conductor at radius r carrying current I in the same axial field:
F_lower = IL × B_z (directed radially inward and upward)
The axial (vertical) components of these forces sum to provide net lift.
Claims
Claim 1: A spherical antigravity propelling device of superconducting electromagnetic field, characterized in that it comprises a high-pressure radiation-proof hollow spherical outer shell, an upper partition plate and a lower partition plate dividing the interior into three chambers, a central bar-shaped superconducting magnet with N-pole at top and S-pole at bottom, a magnetic shielding cylinder surrounding the superconducting magnet, an upper annular conductor group consisting of multiple ring-shaped tubular conductors of varying diameters arranged concentrically on the interior surface of the upper stress wall with conductors wrapped in insulating material and connected to power supply via lead boxes, a lower annular conductor group of similar construction on the exterior surface of the lower stress wall, elastic elements, shock absorbers, and an energy recovery device in the central control room; wherein the upper conductor group carries clockwise current and the lower conductor group carries counterclockwise current such that Ampere forces acting on both groups have net upward vertical components that collectively offset gravitational force.

Prior Art Referenced
The patent references electromagnetic force principles established in classical electrodynamics and notes that superconducting magnet technology now achieves magnetic induction intensities exceeding 30 Tesla in contemporary commercial superconductors, which the inventors cite as the enabling technology threshold for this design.
Technical Assessment Notes
The patent description indicates this design is theoretical with no documented experimental validation or prototype demonstration. The proposed mechanism requires maintaining superconducting conditions (cryogenic temperatures below T_c) within a flight vehicle, and the power requirements for sustaining a 30+ Tesla field in a compact geometry are in the multi-megawatt range. The patent does not specify a power source capable of sustaining operation.
The classification under B64G1/409 (Unconventional spacecraft propulsion systems) places this in the same IPC category as US Navy Pais patents (US10144532B2), multiple Russian patents (RU2106287C1, RU2046210C1), and the Chinese Zhejiang University patent (CN111114774B) documented in this Physics_Math archive.
