Now I know what you guys might be thinking - not another bogus Steve Jobs garage story but this guy seems to be on to something. I'm curious to see what he comes up with in the next year or two.
"The dreamers are out there. They attend space conventions and frequent online discussions and brush aside pooh-poohing issues over “causality” and “exotic matter,” and believe these questions must have answers. You just have to know where to look — because maybe the key to unlocking this cosmic mystery will be found in a place nobody expects.
Like here in David Pares’ garage.
You might call Pares (pronounced “PARE-is”) one of those dreamers, though what he’s doing goes far beyond the realm of online chatter.
Some guys spend their spare time restoring automobiles, devoting garage space to motionless Corvettes and Camaros.
Pares is making his own warp drive.
To hear him and his small team of supporters tell it, something weird is happening out here in the garage.
“The compression of the fabric of space,” Pares says matter-of-factly.
Pares’ garage is exactly as it sounds. This is not some converted hangar or temperature-controlled shed. Pares’ laboratory, the headquarters for his Space Warp Dynamics endeavor, is attached to the mid-size Aksarben-area home where he lives with his wife and their cat. It is split in halves, each side large enough to accommodate a not-very-large car. It is hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It is a garage.
On average, Pares spends a couple of hours a day here almost every day of the week. To bend the fabric of space, he sits in front of a tray of instruments, twisting knobs and glancing every now and then into a Faraday cage, where a 3.5-pound weight hangs inside an electrically isolated case. Outside the case hangs a strange instrument made up of V-shape panels with fractal arrays on the surfaces. The instrument is the latest version of what Pares believes is the world’s first low-power warp drive motor.
He turns around and points to the back of his garage door, where a red laser — beamed at the weight and reflected back against the door to demonstrate the movement happening in the case — drifts from its original spot. Slowly, in incremental amounts, the weight is drawn toward the V-shape motor.
“You’re not supposed to be able to do this,” Pares says.
At just 100 watts of power, he claims an electrical field created by his arrays is ever so slightly condensing space in front of the motor, the way you’d squeeze coils on a Slinky."
He goes out and says we might be able to bend time and space like in Star Trek. He has made a few experiments in his garage to prove his theory. He also points to some of the Bermuda triangle cases of pilots ending up hundreds of miles ahead of where they are suppose to be - as a clue to what really happens in nature. We should get this guy on the show to pick his brain.
