Abstract
This Chapter proposes two new revolutionary ideas: (1) Simple cable anti-gravitator and (2) Electrostatic levitation and artificial gravity. Cable anti-gravitator provides a repel (opposed to gravity) force between two bodies by a rotational closed-loop cable. Electrostatic levitation allows people, cars, and tracks to fly over the Earth’s surface. Artificial gravity allows astronauts to work near space ship without leash. Multiple related macro-engineering projects are herein proposed. These macro-projects are: High Tower; Space Elevator; Non-Rocket start from satellites and asteroids; Levitation Highway; Levitation Region in City; Vertical Takeoff and Landing aircraft; Flying, Walking, and Jumping man and High Altitude Crane
