Is it possible to create total weightlessness (like in space) enviroment on the ground?

Question

For example, today there are specially designed jets (fromNASA) which create the sensation while diving in an steep angle!
Please exclude the method of weightlessness under water!!

Answer 1

Besides Water On Earth......Ummm....Sky Diving, Or The Simulator For Sky Diving Will Give You The Feel Of Weightlessness

Answer 2

No, there is no way to do it without moving. However, those free fall thrill rides do give you a second to two of weightlessness as you fall from the top of the tower. That is sort of on the ground. Being suspended in the air or water is not the same as weightlessness. True weightlessness is exactly the same as falling and feels just like falling. It can be scary if you are not used to it and are not expecting it.

Answer 3

There are companies that have huge fans that blow 'up' and suspend you in mid-air - bit like sky-diving - so similar but not the same.

But being weightless would require no gravity - so anything 'on earth' is only a simulation.

The NASA jet does it by diving down at the same speed you would drop yourself (if you were outside the plane) to give the impression of being weightless.

Also some lifts (in very tall buildings) are so fast then when you come down you get lighter (nearer weightless) but when you go up you get heavier! ;)

Answer 4

similar to the large fans people have talked about already, scientists have also been able to use magnets to balance the force of gravity to make an object seem weightless. This can be seen in Maglev trains where the train is suspended above the tracks through the use of powerful magnets. There was also the very interesting case of the flying frog where scientists placed a small frog in a very powerful magnet and were able to levitate it.

The concept is explained in very complicated detail at

and shown in these videos of this very confused frog and various other objects

remember, this is really just the balance of the force of gravity by the use of an equal, opposite force similar to the lift of an airplane wing or a helicoptor rotor to keep them in the sky. This isn't turning off gravity.

Answer 5

The results of weightlessness led to while the consequent gravitational tension performing on a physique is 0. that's shown by using ability of remembering that weight (that's a tension) = mass x acceleration. that's the theory at the back of Newtons 2d regulation of action. via fact that we can't make the mass of a physique equivalent to 0, we only could eliminate the acceleration via gravity on a physique to make it effectively weightless. it could hence be felt in an elevator if it grow to be descending on an identical fee via fact the pull of gravity.

Answer 6

If you dig a hole and reach the center of the earth There is weightlessness. The gravity is zero at the center of the earth

Answer 7

nope only if your under water sorry or wht he said

Answer 8

l'm not sure, l was going to mention the plane dive, l don't think there is.

Answer 9

it sure is.... go buy yourself a HUGE fan
