The '''anti-gravity circuit''', also known as the '''anti-gravity engine''', ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time of the Toymaker (novel)|The Time of the Toymaker]]'') '''anti-grav engine''', ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (short story)|The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') or '''anti-gravity circuits''' plural, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol (short story)|A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol]]'') was a device which could be tacked onto a machine and enabled it to fly, free of gravity. | |||
[[Clockwork Cherub]]s of the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]] needed to have anti-gravity circuits, and to have them switched on, to be able to fly. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (short story)|The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]'', ''[[The Time of the Toymaker (novel)|The Time of the Toymaker]]'', etc.) According to “legend”, it was “when building the original [[Cupid Prototype]]” that [[the Creator]] realised that the wings with which she had outfitted her creations were very much unable to generate enough lift for “two-foot-tall humanoids largely made of solid copper alloy”. In typical fashion, “the Creator reacted not by scrapping the wings, but by developing anti-grav engines as a side-project”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (short story)|The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') | |||
Their use was not universal; for example, [[Philatel-426]] rarely wore his, as he found them cumbersome, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol (short story)|A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol]]'') and [[Juliet-178]] was actually officially banned by the [[Cupid Parliament]] from using an anti-grav engine, although she owned one anyway. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time of the Toymaker (novel)|The Time of the Toymaker]]'') | |||
