Impressive; I didn't know that you also worked in engineering/physics. Our very own Renaissance Man (suppose that means you are always dressed up when you go to a RenFest).
Actually, I am technically an engineer, ya know? My field is Mechanical Engineering... that's what I have my undergrad degree in. BSc MecE '06. Now I'm doing all the Classics stuff, but all my old engineering isn't exactly lost on me. And no I don't dress up or go to Festival type things. Though I do consider myself a Renaissance man, after a fashion or, rather, a polymath. Kinda ambivalent about the Sciences and the Arts... can do both equally, for the most part. Unfortunately makes it rather difficult to stay focussed on one thing, ya know? And that's what I hate for the day: that I have this decided lack of discipline. Argh.
By the way, just so you know, the 'anti-gravity' probably won't work. It's just too simple not to have been tried and dismissed before. And it's not anti-gravity per say, in that it doesn't annul gravity or anything, I guess, but more of a way of getting a sort of internal lift without things like rockets and all. Basically just simple mechanics and dynmanics. But as it could get things to hover etc. without propellors or rockets, it would be neat anyway. I'm trying to build a little concept model. I'll tell you if it works or not.
