What are these anti-gravity things?

Scientists and inventors have been trying for well over 100 years, everywhere on Earth, in invent devices that somehow negate gravity using a field effect.
So far, nobody has had any success in generating a field that directly opposes gravity. Much of the science that these experiments are based off of are loose, at best. Then again, that's what people said about experiments in other fields that humans barely understood in the past.
Anywho, more recent research into the realm of quantum physics has provided circumstantial evidence of a weak "repulsion factor". Kinda like gravity, only it pushes matter away from each other. This, should it exist, would be significantly weaker than gravity or electromagnetism. So, generating enough of it to acutally negate the effect of the Earth's gravity on an useful object (like a car), would take an epic ammount of energy.
Unless, of course, we find a very efficient way to just generate the specific field we want...

Can't we just use ketchup and mustard bottles to generate that energy?

I am no quantum physisist, or even a scientist, but wouldn't it be a lot easier to "use" Earths magnetic field. As we all know, 2 magnetes of the same polarity dont mix, so why dont we just try and "mimic" the magnetic field of a planet, that way we should be able to lift off. And with a specific power rating, even control the raise/decend.

well they have had some success in Anti-grav so to speak in the area of Superconductors. The found out a while back, that undercertain conditions, a superconductor will actualy float. However one of the conditions was that it was cooled to near Absolute Zero.

Okay, using your analogy...
Think of a bar magnet. Other magnets will push off of it's ends, but will not fuction the same way when you get a magnet near it's side.
The Earth is the same way. The North and South pole are the "ends" of this gigantic bar magnet.
Also, the Earth's magnetic field is pretty weak. It covers a massive area, but you can over come it with even a minor conventional magnet. That's why magnets work for all the uses we have for them, instead of being overpowered by the Earth's magnetic field.
