I must credit Franco Folini, from the NOVEDGE - Rhino News Digest, with finding this delightful Kiwi Invention. In spite of having visited Dunedin several times, and cycling around it a fair bit, I have never seen an Anti Gravity Cruiser. Perhaps I didn’t look up often enough! Click through for more of Chris Ebbert’s delightful work modelled in Rhino. Who said Kiwis can't fly!

The Kiwis have been using anti gravity since the 19th century, thanks to its accidental discovery through Invercargill farmer Gary Wilson in 1863 who, originally intending to construct a slow-cooker for lamb stew inside a shed behind his house, built the first ketone fission device known to southern man. As we now know, the concept never took off commercially because of its inability to cross the equator, where ketone thrust inverts, leading to a sudden reversal of the vehicle's Z-coordinate orientation. An expedition is planned to recover Wilson and his vehicle who, sadly, disappeared in the sea off Japan in 1872 while on world anti gravity tour, accidentally making that other, tragic yet vital, discovery.
