  It is now possible to partially deflect gravitation away from an object so
that the gravitational attraction on the object is reduced. That effect makes
it possible to extract energy from the gravitational field, which makes the
generation of gravito-electric power technologically feasible. Such plants
would be similar to hydro-electric plants and would have their advantages of
not needing fuel and not polluting the environment.
  Physically, the action of deflecting away gravitational attraction, which of
course is directed toward the gravitation source, produces an equal but
opposite reaction on the mechanism that produces the deflection of the
gravitational action [the deflector], a reaction directed away from the
gravitation source.
  The result is the combination of reducing the gravitational attractive
acceleration of the object toward the gravitation source plus the introducing
of a reactive acceleration on the object in the direction away from the
gravitation source.
  Such a deflector, engineered to enable controlled adjustment of the amount
and the direction of its action, could provide for a spacecraft both launch
levitation and deep space travel acceleration. It could provide both levitation
and horizontal motion for a flying vehicle over a planet surface.
  This technology, which uses readily abundantly available materials and
techniques, is ready now for research and engineering refinement.
