The Granite Man and the Butterfly is a 1995 book by Jeane Manning and Pierre Sinclaire, telling the story of the Canadian inventor David Hamel. It was published by Project Magnet Inc. (Vancouver).

Overview

The book recounts how David Hamel — described as a simple man "chosen for a heroic task" — claimed to have received information enabling him to build a craft (his "Gravito-Magnetic Device") that would provide an abundant source of non-polluting energy. It chronicles the personal frustrations and technical obstacles Hamel faced, and the efforts of Pierre Sinclaire, who worked with Hamel for six years attempting to reproduce a device Hamel said lifted off from his yard in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, in 1977.
