Abstract

A gravity control apparatus is provided, in which is controlled through the superconducting coil designed for generating uniform magnetic force. The gravity control apparatus includes a hollow cylindrical low temperature container; a combination of B0 coil and a symmetric and/or asymmetric gradient magnetic field generating coil having a predetermined length and inner and outer radiuses, wherein each of B0 coil and gradient magnetic field generating coil is wound onto a bobbin which is installed to the low temperature container so as to form a superconducting magnet, and the B0 coil has three solenoid coils which are arrayed in three parts with a predetermined spacing so as to generate, from the center of the B0 coil, uniform magnetic field having constant magnetic flux density; and a power unit for supplying operating current to each of coils. Thus, gravity acting on the material disposed in the hollow center of the low temperature container can be compensated with a uniform magnetic force.
