Multiple Gravity Slingshot
This concept that I studied is the use of
gravity slingshot to assist a spaceship in acceleration. If we could use this
theory to make a spaceship use four to five planets of our solar system to use
gravity assist and travel at the speed of light, it could make space travel
much cheaper and faster to travel long distances in no time. The last assist
has to come from the largest planet in our solar system which is Jupiter that would
provide the final major assist.
What
is a Gravity Sling Shot?
The Invention of Michael Minovitch’s theory of Gravity
Propelled Interplanetary Space Travel was so radical it did not require and
rocket fuel or any on-board energy generating system, but was capable of
generating vehicle velocities for greater than the most advanced nuclear
propulsion system, and was independent of the vehicle’s mass.
Gravitational slingshot is the use of the relative movement
and gravity of a planet to alter the path and speed of a spacecraft, typically
in order to save propellant, time, and expense. Gravity assistance can be used
to accelerate, decelerate and/or re-direct the path of a spacecraft.
A gravitational slingshot is a slick way to pick up speed
using a moving planet’s gravity.
Using a
planet as large as Jupiter can send a ship at half the speed of light.
Flying Saucer
The myth that the flying saucer exists might be
able to turn into reality. A saucer is a perfect spaceship to travel in space
and if it can be assisted by Neutrinos then it can even travel at light speed.
If the saucer is provided energy be the Neutrinos and their similar shapes can
help the saucer replicate it then even the saucer can travel at light speed if
spun around like those particles and led to any direction it has to go to. The
base of the saucer receives the neutrinos that then spins around which
activated the turbine. The turbine will also then start rotating which would spin
the saucer just like the Neutrinos. The only flaw in this theory is that it
cannot change directions once it’s moving.
The opening at the bottom shuts as it’s about
to land. An object at such speed cannot be stopped that easily so if it is
slowed down a bit by the time it reaches another planet, it can be stopped
completely by using the ripple effect. It needs to find large water bodies like
the ocean on Earth itself and then like the skipping of a stone on water, the
saucer has to replicate the same motion and skip on the water to gradually slow
down.
What are Light
Speed Neutrinos Particles?
Antonio
Ereditato, the leader of Neutrinos research team discovered that Neutrinos are
charged particles that move faster than light. These are little disc like
particles which when spun around really fast gets charged and runs at light
speed at any direction it is lead to.
Neutrinos
are particles that escaped from the sun and are buried underground on Earth.
Space Elevator
The Space Elevator concept is the same as the
one that exists except my own interpretation of its visuals and for the space
station that it will connect to. This I imagine existing in the next thirty to
forty years.
What is a Space
Elevator?
Space elevator Technology was
invented by Arthur C. Clarke. Its name pretty much
explains how it works. A cable is strung between a launch point and a
geostationary satellite in orbit, dangling all the way up from the ground
through the atmosphere into space. Elevator cars will then ride up and down the
cable, powered by ground-fired laser beams, and ferrying equipment and
personnel into space without all the expense, fuss and risk of a rocket launch.
When they become technically feasible, they'll make access to space about as
simple and easy a task as driving a car, and they'll drop the costs of
launching satellites by an extraordinary amount--completely transforming how we
think about space travel.
Ion Motor Trains
I thought of an idea as to how space technology
can also benefit the technology on Earth. Hence, a train that could use ion
motors for acceleration that could help it accelerate ten times faster than it
does today. However, ion propulsion is acceleration with patience so if the
train was planted with multiple motors and if they were to be started after a
certain intervals of time then it might not have to wait before it accelerates
to its full potential. The back of the train contains the main ion motors where
as the external ones for assist are on the sides.
What is an Ion Propulsion?
Rocket designers have been studying ion propulsion
since the 1950s, and mention of the technology often turns up in works of
science fiction.
Deep Space 1 is the first spacecraft to use it as a
primary means of propulsion.
Instead of the fiery thrust produced by typical
rockets, an ion engine emits only an eerie blue glow as electrically charged
atoms of xenon are pushed out of the engine. Xenon is the same gas found in
photo flash bulbs and lighthouse search lamps. Acceleration with patience In
the engine, each xenon atom is stripped of an electron, leaving an electrically
charged particle called an ion. Those ions are then jolted by electricity that
is produced by the probe's solar panels and accelerated at high speeds as they
shoot out from the engine. That produces thrust for the probe. The ions travel
out into space at 68,000 miles (109,430 kilometers) per hour.
The thrust itself is amazingly light -- about the
force felt by a sheet of paper on the palm of your hand.
It takes a while for it to accelerate so hence it's acceleration with
patience.
But once ion propulsion gets going, nothing compares to its
acceleration. Over the long haul, it can deliver 10 times as much
thrust-per-pound of fuel as more traditional rockets.
Conclusion
There is no guarantee that all these ideas will work however I interpreted these concepts through
mostly facts and some assumptions. I wish I had more time to work on my illustrations and do a little more research to be more precise. This was just my attempt to visualize the future in space travel.
