Short answer is NO.

There are only two ways to get "zero gravity". One is to be in a spaceship that is far enough away from the earth that the earth's gravitational field is minimized (gravity is never zero but it can be so low that it is as good as zero). The other is to be in a large airplane that is flown in a maneuver where it goes up and then loops down. At some point during that maneuver you would find that you have floated out of your seat since the upward and downward forces cancel each other. That is how future astronauts are trained to deal with zero gravity.

Probably the closest you will get to zero gravity is to float around in a swimming pool with the water supporting your body's weight. If you have a pool in your basement you can "produce zero gravity in your house."

If you want to create a zero gravity in your house, then you have to do the following: First you have to built an aerplane that is fire proof that can travel 7745 meters per second or 7.74 kilometers per second, or 27800 kilometers per hour. That means you should ride on a fire-proof airplane that travels 27800 kilometers per hour. That means that you should travel around the Earth and pass over your house once every 1.4 hours. If you can do this, then inside the airplane, you can feel zero gravity and can jump up and down as if you are in outer space. The trouble however is, unless you have a fire proof airplane, when you travel that fast your airplane will be completely melted in less than few seconds. But, with a fire proof airplane, you can travel right above the ground of your house at a speed of 27800 kilometers or17375 miles per second, and pass over your house once every 84 minutes. Or you should be able to cross your house 17 times every day while traveling around the Earth. So if you can travel that fast without melting your airplane due to air friction, only then you can create a zero gravity above your house. Just remember that you should be passing your house every 1.4 hours, or 17 times a day and not necessarily staying over at the backyard of your house, but passing the backyard of your house 17 times per day. Good luck!

the element you're questioning approximately is what considered one of the different respondents has stated as the 'Vomit Comet', the place an airplane makes an prolonged climb and then fits into freefall, describing an upturned arc. the folk interior the airplane are falling precisely the comparable through fact the airplane (and the air interior it), so which you do sense thoroughly weightless. it relatively is many times performed in any airplane, yet of path the astronaut coaching airplane is a huge one. Weightlessness in area is purely the comparable relatively. you're nevertheless falling to Earth, as Earth's gravity remains sturdy at that distance, yet a physique like the area station is likewise shifting forwards at 17,000mph, so in spite of the reality that it falls, that's moved forward so some distance that it by no ability gets any nearer to Earth (with the exception of the common drag from the very tenuous little bit of ecosystem up there - each time the return and forth visits, it provides it somewhat develop to develop it lower back up).

What is called "zero gravity" is more accurately free fall. So yes, you can simulate it in your house, and do whenever you drop something, or jump down from a chair. Of course, your simulation only lasts for the time it takes to hit the ground, a fraction of a second.

When airplanes (the "vomit comet") simulate free fall this is basically all they do, but they do it far enough up in the air so they can get a couple minutes of free fall, rather than the time it takes to reach the floor, but the idea is the same.

1) Step onto a chair
2) Jump off of said chair.

Congratulations, you're experiencing Zero G's. Goes by pretty quick, but there you have it.

And no, aside from getting yourself into free-fall situations and ballistic airplane trajectories, there is no place on earth that experiences zero Gs.

No ,not at all for doing that your house must spin with angelar velocity of (GM/r^2)^1/2 rad per sec.
for non gravity If you mean accelaration thn it is possible only at centre of earth but if you mean force then theoratically it is not possibl but practically at grat heights gravitational force boecoes 0 as it is nullified by force from other heavnly bodies

You can't in a house because it is stationary with the earth. However, you can simulate 'zero-g' on a diving airplane.

Yeah what srgttdawg and on roller coasters, some of them. Other than than the other ways, like a falling airplane, could lead to death.

there's this new vacuum cleaner that just came out.. its so strong it takes all the air too... use that one, and just vacuum the air around you...
however there is one problem... it might take u a couple of hours to suck out the air in ur entire house... shutting all the windows is a great tip..
good luck! :)
