Wayne Ojala
Wayne Ojala is a Canadian researcher, experimentalist, and member of the Falcon Space experimental team who has dedicated his career to pushing the boundaries of unconventional propulsion and gravity control. He is also the founder of Fail Forward Research on YouTube, where he openly shares his experiments, setbacks, and discoveries. The name reflects his guiding philosophy: that true progress emerges through trial, error, and persistence, and that others can learn as much from failure as from success.
Early Curiosity and Education
From childhood, Wayne was captivated by the mysteries of gravity modification and breakthrough propulsion. This lifelong curiosity eventually led him to pursue a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology. His professional journey has included working in diverse manufacturing and industrial environments, experiences that provided him with both technical expertise and a strong hands-on engineering skillset.
Alternative Energy and Vacuum Research
Wayne’s research path deepened in 2008 when he began exploring alternative energy and active vacuum energy conversion. His work has ranged from investigating experimental “free energy” converters to exploring ways of extracting useful effects from the vacuum itself. He has consistently embraced a bold, hands-on approach—building, testing, and refining experimental setups to evaluate ideas that others might dismiss as impossible.
Falcon Space and Technical Replication
As part of the Falcon Space experimental team, Wayne has played a key role in replicating and validating advanced science and technology concepts. One notable area of exploration has been Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) and its potential applications in exotic propulsion. His contributions have included not just theoretical study but bench-level replication, where his skill with practical engineering shines.
Fail Forward Research – Sharing the Journey
Wayne’s YouTube channel, Fail Forward Research, has become both an experimental diary and a teaching platform. By documenting successes and setbacks alike, he provides a rare window into the real-world process of experimental science at the edge of what’s known. His videos demystify complex concepts, encourage open collaboration, and inspire others who are exploring unconventional science and engineering.
Vision and Ongoing Work
At the core of Wayne Ojala’s mission is the belief that humanity’s future depends on breakthroughs in propulsion and energy—technologies that could reshape both atmospheric and space transportation. His work aims to experimentally explore gravity control, alternative propulsion, and active energy systems with the hope of one day enabling transformative leaps in travel and exploration.
Whether working independently in his Canadian lab or as part of Falcon Space, Wayne continues to experiment fearlessly. His commitment to open sharing and his willingness to learn through failure have made him a respected voice in the community of independent researchers pursuing the frontiers of energy and propulsion science.
