- Garden-shed genius
- heads for the stars
-
- by MICHAEL SHANAHAN
-
-
- Day trips to Australia and weekend jaunts in the Milky way could
- become a reality, thanks to the brainpower of Scottish inventor.
-
- Sandy Kidd's discovery, which is set to revolutionize travel,
- is already sending shock waves through the scientific establishment.
- One of Britain's top physicists described it "mind boggling."
-
- Mr. Kidd's work, researched in his garden shed, will make science
- fiction writers dreams come true. Trips to Mars will take 34 hours
- and the journey from London to Sydney will be reduced to a matter of
- minutes.
-
- The 51-year-old former apprentice toolmaker's development of a
- Gyroscopic Propulsion process has stunned academics because it
- challenges Isaac Newton's Law of Motion.
-
- He has worked out that, by setting gyroscopes at particular
- angles, a lifting force that defies gravity is produced.
-
- Mr. Kidd, who worked for five years on his brainchild at his
- Dundee home, is now moving to the heart of the space industry in
- California where a massive investment program is already underway.
-
- Dr. Harold Aspden senior visiting research fellow at Southampton
- University, has seen the results of early tests. "Scientifically
- speaking it is a bombshell," he says. I would not have believed this
- if I had not seen it with my own eyes.
-
- "It will totally revolutionize the travel industry. Taken to the
- ultimate, we will have planes without jet engines and helicopters
- without rotor blades."
-
- Mr. Kidd is being financed by an Australian research company. A

- spokesman said: "We are on to something really big. The next stage
- is to power up Sandy's device in California with the prospect of
- building a full-scale vehicle at the end of the day. "Money is no
- object, but we are determined that his work will get out."
-
- At Imperial College, London, Professor Eric laithwaite, who has
- followed Mr. Kidd's experiments, said: "I have always been convinced
- it could be done . . . and I like to see someone defeat the system.
- He may be a long time perfecting it but I sure he will succeed."
-
- Mr. Kidd made the final breakthrough in this work highlighted in
- the Sunday Express last year, about four weeks ago in a Laboratory
- in Melbourne.
-
- "There was just one thing I couldn't understand," said the former
- RAF radar technician. "I had worked round the problem until that
- day when it dawned on me.
-
- IF I COULD FIGURE IT OUT WHY HASN'T SOMEBODY ELSE?"
