Alt Propulsion

The Alternative Propulsion Engineering Conference (APEC™) is the world's leading breakthrough conference for Warp Drives, Gravity Control, Energy & UFO Physics featuring hundreds of top physicists, engineers, & innovators. Founded in late 2020 by Falcon Space and American Antigravity, the conference has quickly established itself as a unique platform for engineers, physicists, and independent innovators to present and debate ideas that fall outside mainstream aerospace research. Its mission is to advance experimental approaches to propulsion, focusing on engineering and practical demonstrations as much as on theoretical models. What makes APEC distinctive is its diverse mix of participants. The event regularly features PhD researchers and professionals from organizations such as NASA, DARPA, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and MIT, alongside garage experimenters, hobbyists, and entrepreneurs. This cross-pollination of ideas between institutional experts and independent builders creates a fertile ground for innovation, blending scientific rigor with imaginative experimentation. The topics presented at APEC are as bold as its community. Discussions often center on gravity modification, warp drives, inertial propulsion, electrogravitics, field-effect propulsion systems, and zero-point energy. In recent years, APEC has also incorporated sessions on the physics of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), reflecting broader scientific and public interest in anomalous flight technologies. Presentations range from highly technical papers to live demonstrations of experimental hardware, offering a rare mix of visionary science and hands-on engineering. APEC has been described by the media as the “Woodstock of gravity-modification research” and the “wildest science club on the internet.” Its 2023 return after a brief hiatus reinvigorated the community, with talks covering electromagnetic propulsion, propellantless drives, and speculative warp reactor concepts.
