Eugene Podkletnov is a man who came up with a very interesting idea. He said that he invented a special device that could make objects float in the air.
Imagine that you are in a pool and you throw a ball into the water. The ball sinks because it is heavier than the water. Now imagine that you have a magic power that makes the ball float in the air instead of sinking. That is what Podkletnov’s device is supposed to do.
Scientists all over the world have been very interested in this device because it could have a lot of uses. For example, it could help us build spaceships that are lighter and more efficient. But some scientists are still not sure if Podkletnov’s device is real or if it works the way he says it does. They are trying to do more experiments to find out.
