[3] Space elevatorThe material and energy demands are extremely hard technical problems.
mikes - 21/12/2007 12:02 AMMaterial, yes. Why energy? I understood it to be "just" precision-pointing a fairly high-power laser at the climber. Is the pointing regarded as well beyond current SOTA, or are there other problems?
A_M_Swallow - 21/12/2007 7:01 PMThe space elevator people claim super laser is not a weapon whilst requesting the FAA make the beam path restricted airspace so no one flies through it.
All that energy gets converted into heat so the ribbon will glow yellow hot, the climbers will have enormous photo-voltaic panels and large radiators. Due to the effects of the wind the panels and radiators cannot be deployed until the climbers are above the atmosphere.
MTKeshe - 21/12/2007 12:36 PMGravitational system is the one which creates natural gravitational field force within a rector, very much like earth gravitational field forces , which causes the craft which the system is attached to, for the craft to posses gravitational field force like earth, and by reducing the strength of this field or increasing it strength of the filed , one allows attraction and repulsion of the craft in respect to the central gravitational field of the given planet.
The initial systems for this has been tested and confirms this is achievable.

MTKeshe - 22/12/2007 9:12 AMMay be the electric charge down load to earth has not been considered, and if nano materials are to be used as a cable? Can you explain how due to their superconductivity properties, one can handle these geomagnetic planetary charge interferences which cause massive currents within the cable.
MTKeshe - 25/12/2007 6:10 PMNow that world of science have understood the physical structure and the mechanism by which celestial bodies can created and maintain all three factors, a) internal production of energy, which lead’s to creation of b) gravitational field and c) magnetic field.
One can replicate the operation of these planetary mechanism in a simple system
For example, in reality, gravitational systems can help to extract CO2 from atmosphere
The development of a gravitational systems that only attracts to itself CO2 for cleaning atmosphere, will solve the dilemma with global warming.
