Beyond 2001: The Laws of Physics Revolutionized

Working from a garden shed in his back garden in Dundee, Scottish amateur Sandy Kidd devised a machine which defies Newton's third law of physics and which could revolutionize space travel.

This personal account of the former RAF radar technician tells of his struggles, disappointments and triumphs.
