Sideways Easel A-Frame Resultant Insight (Taken from our A Guide to Artificial High Directionals & Two Tension Rope Systems online course… ) We’ve added this compression member with a tension element added to it. The reason we did this is because we previously had to keep our resultant between our two legs. As you’ll see

Building Your Own Anti-Gravity Machine: AHD Using the TerrAdaptor Part 1

/ Blog, Designing Your Processes, Dynamic Directional, Elevated Anchor Systems, Offset Track Line, Portable Anchors

Anti-gravity (also known as non-gravitational field) is a hypothetical phenomenon of creating a place or object that is free from the force of gravity.  I love the word, hypothetical! – Very non-committal.  You can play in a sandbox of “theory” and never be wrong.  However, the other side of theory is a “proving ground”.   So is

Force multipliers and the four fundamentals of mechanics are important to understand in order to be a successful creator. The force multiplier is the means by which you can increase the force that you output, while the four fundamentals of mechanics are what keep your creation stable and functioning. If you want to be a
