The various embodiments disclosed herein provide a generalized system for extracting gravitational energy from the planet and provide for a general, pollution free, mass lifting and energy conversion system in which the laws of fluid flow, and in particular buoyancy and gravity are utilized to lift an arbitrary mass to a higher gravitational potential energy, where upon the increased potential energy can be converted to other forms of energy. Novel and non-obvious features of the fluid interface device, used to insert the buoyant object into the buoyant fluid, insure that the insertion energy is less than the potential energy gained by the object. The net increase in potential energy can be converted to other forms of energy such as electrical power or mechanical energy. It is shown in that energy gain is effectively extracted from the gravitational field of the planet without breaking the laws of conservation of energy.

Numerous patents have been granted for methods to extract useful zero-point energy (ZPE). However, these methods utilize the Casimir force, which is orders of magnitude too small to power an electrical grid. The method and apparatus described here uses counter-rotating mercury based plasmas pulsed with a high frequency, high voltage discharge to create a coherence with the zero-point field, allowing for unlimited extraction of ZPE, which may ultimately replace polluting fossil fuel derived energy. Mainstream physics models gravity as a curvature of space (general relativity), but there are profound problems with this model. An alternative model of gravity advanced by some physicists models gravity (and inertia) as an induced effect resulting from the interaction of ZPE with subatomic charge. By creating a coherence with the zero-point field, this method causes an interference with this interaction, allowing gravity and inertia to be engineered or nullified, representing a breakthrough in propulsion.
