4.0 out of 5 stars
Believe it or not!,
By Frank La Tella (Sydney, Australia ...) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The death of rocketry (Paperback)
The Death of Rocketry describes the trials and tribulations of the first US inventor to obtain two US patents on `rotary to linear motion converters'. For those who are not yet familiar with this concept(,)... the mechanisms described in the book purport to obtain a motive force neither from the interaction of friction with the outside environment, nor from the principle of mass efflux (ie rocket propulsion) familiar to all. It contains some historical background material mostly drawn from early articles from Analog Science Fiction Science Fact magazine of the mid-sixties. The authors supply copies of the evidence available to them at the time and provide other documentary literature to support their claims. The book is well made and written. Easy to follow, containing many drawings, figures, newspaper extracts and photos. While it is not a do-it-yourself technology manual it makes for good reading if you find this sort of thing of interest. But how about all you sceptics out there? Well don't be too hasty in your judgement. Until you dig just a little deeper, I suggest you reserve that judgement, at least til you see which companies are selling these devices! Recommended.
