The magnetic version of the space elevator

The magnetic version of the space elevator


The space elevator would be the new version of the Babel tower, and it is the thing, what some visionaries are created for making cheap spaceflights possible. The idea of the space elevator is that to the orbital trajectory would build the extremely high tower and that thing will be anchored to its position by connecting it to the asteroid, what will pull the structure upwards.

The structure of this gigantic building would be made by using the nanotubes, which will decrease the weight of that thing. And if that structure would build near the equatorial area, the centripetal force would keep the structure, what will rise to the stationary trajectory in the form, because without that thing, the tower would collapse to the ground. The mechanical winch will pull the cargo to the trajectory, and the wires, what is connected to the payload must also be extremely light, and the size of that structure is a very huge problem.

The answer to that problem would be an extremely thin tower, which would be like the dressmaking wire. Around that wire would be very small size magnets, what are created by using the nanotechnology, and its mission would keep the structure so light as the possible. It would be connected to the satellite, and the thing in the satellite is, it must be heavier than this wire, and then the high-voltage electricity will conduct to that structure, what makes it a magnetic accelerator.

The idea is that the craft, what will be accelerated by using this system can be around this acceleration track. The craft, what will be like normal spacecraft, what has the hole or tunnel in the back of it can be driven to the orbital trajectory by using this accelerator, and the thing is, that the accelerator could through the thing, what it must accelerate, and by using this thing the small-size space shuttle would launch to the orbiter. Then the tube in it's back will be opened what releases the shuttle to the flight in the orbital trajectory, and then that spacecraft, what could be the X-38-style miniature shuttle can return back to Earth. This would be one hypothetical solution for the spaceflight.

But there is a different way to create the space elevator, and that is used very thin wire, which is equipped with the gauss-track. The structure of that system, which might be thinner than wool wire or even the single hair would rise to the extremely high altitude with the balloon, and the magnetic accelerator would installed around it.

Then the donut-shaped cargo-vehicle would send to the orbiter by using this very thin accelerator, and that device would operate like when the donut-shaped spacecraft or flying saucer will come near of that balloon, it would be released, and the spacecraft will pass the top point of the wire. And then another balloon, what would have the barometer launcher can open, and deny the collapse of the accelerator. Then this very thin accelerator can roll back to the reel by using the winch.
