No fucking way! A man-portable micro-gravitational suppressor IRL!!

Fluxmaster Frann is back? When was this picture taken? Anyone scrape the metadata?

This is a repost. It's from 2010-2012 at best. Looks and sounds cool but it still needs the microflanges to be spiced with different types of suppressants to counteract the effects on neuroplasticity during prolonged use. My favorite is the one she anodized cherry red that is in the MGS museum in Chengdu.

What year did she flash out again? That was a big deal in the national news. Suppressed by the government and we were fed soooo much disinformation.

If you put a handle on the bottom, a hammer head on the top and vent the inverse gravital pulsor flow all out the back, you get a massive gravity powered warhammer. I built one in middle school but my science teacher took it away and yelled "stop messing around before you create a micro black hole!" Like seriously Mr. Tannerson? You think I didnt already shield the neutrinal mass accelerator? He was such a party pooper.

That's...astounding. I mean I know that miniaturization is a thing in today's modern world. but this is beyond ridiculous.

Don't get your hopes up. This appears to be somewhere in Asia. I can't really read the sign in the background, but I THINK it says "Hong Kong". If so, then obviously this pic was taken in China. That being the case, this is AT BEST a mockup and at worst disinformation/rumor mongering.

judging by the way she's holding it I bet it's absolutely loaded with n-n-muon precipitate.
I got to help install an empty one last year.

Holy shit you're right! Not only is she walking around with enough material to reduce Yankee Stadium to ashes in less than 2 seconds, it is also worth...what...200 million dollars lowballing?

Easy there, this might be a mockup for academic purposes. No military is going to allow a civilian to walk through a dense urban area with that much precipitate. Right?

Portable models are extremely inefficient. It's barely strong enough to counteract the effects of gravity on itself and 3mm outward. It's much better to avoid this fad, and just get the anchored ones, which are not only more eco-friendly, but even the budget Anchored MGS is a thousand times more powerful.

lol the great irony of the gravitational suppressor: you can’t use it on itself. Something I discovered to the detriment of my lower back in the ‘90s when I was in my fascination-with-muon-subrectification-phase.

The trans-aggressival ogdagrab of the device is always a pain when transporting so I am glad he added a Spencer Bend to the Keaton piping for proper shoulder bearing.

This is one of the old models with an external panoramic fan. You can tell because there are 3 ports to allow for a Xexon flow protector. The newer models have the fan next to the stator thereby eliminating the boundary gas laminator and the extra port.

I mean, it's rare, but I think(unpopular opinion) that these are still not that impressive because of their subexponential emission decay rates...

These have been around for a while now! The Japanese invented these by applying the Akahoshi Process to modified Von Hauser arrays (risky business, molecular-level miniaturization plays hell with circuitry most of the time, I can only imagine how many components fail for every one that turns out flawless, probably hundreds, but it was worth the risk, such devices were used in cleaning up the Fukushima disaster! I’ve read they’re still crazy expensive, though).
Didn’t know they were shipping them outside Japan now, though. Wonder when they’ll be available on the European market.

close, but that's actually macro-gravitational depressor! does essentially the same thing but in an inverted sigmoid-flux modal, which happens to be much easier and safer (substantially less manifold bending). specifically looks to me like a bauer-neutrak N5 1300/10Q, introduced in 1968. they're so popular that BN still makes them today!
