'''Anti-gravity''' (also known as '''non-gravitational field''') is the phenomenon of creating a place or object that is free from the force of [[gravity]]. It does not refer to either the lack of weight under gravity experienced in [[free fall]] or [[orbit]], or to balancing the force of gravity with some other force, such as [[electromagnetism]] or [[aerodynamic lift]]. Anti-gravity is a recurring concept in science fiction.

"Anti-gravity" is often used to refer to devices that look as if they reverse gravity even though they operate through other means, such as [[Ionocraft|lifters]], which fly in the air by moving air with [[electromagnetic field]]s.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.08/pwr_antigravity.html|access-date=23 July 2010|first=Clive|last=Thompson|work=[[Wired Magazine|Wired]]|date=August 2003|title=The Antigravity Underground| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100818230902/http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.08/pwr_antigravity.html| archive-date= 18 August 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa081902a.htm|title=On the Verge of Antigravity|publisher=[[About.com]]|access-date=23 July 2010|archive-date=23 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170223030341/http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa081902a.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>
