CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT
CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT... This month, we're featuring Eric Biggio, who says he has discovered the secret to gyroscopic propulsion. We'll let him take it from here: "Some time ago I discovered the "secret" to gyroscopic propulsion. Although I had proven it experimentally to myself, I was told by everyone I talked with that I would need a working prototype to convince them. Since I was retired and living on a fixed income it became necessary to build the worlds first "warp" drive device on a budget. When it came to machining I had to turn a wood lathe into a precision metal lathe, which was easier than you might think, and look for hardware wherever it could be found. Of course when it came to the main components of my device I immediately turned to Speedy Metals. I had used them in the past and knew they were the go to source for inexpensive metal materials. After purchasing some DOM steel tubing, and turning them into a collection of rotors, I started into the complex path of building a device that was heretofore unknown. Everything I did was done from scratch with whatever parts I could scrap out of existing machinery. The motors were from vacuums, the bearings from skateboards, the frame from bicycle wheels, but of course the key ingredient was Rotors from Speedy Metals."

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING... "I'm a one person business, so I don’t order a lot of material...when I do buy, you are my source."

DID YOU KNOW?
DID YOU KNOW...?
...that at extreme pressures, lead becomes harder than steel?
Normally, lead is soft - you can even scratch it with your fingernail.
But when compressed at a pressure of about 400 gigapascals (ie similar to what you'd find in the Earth's core), its crystal structure changes to make it approximately 10 times stronger than high strength steel!
