Can spinning spacecraft create artificial gravitation?


The fact is that artificial gravitation is not the same as gravitation on Earth. The artificial gravitation that is made by using spinning structures bases the centripetal force. 

That means things like the Coriolis effect are things. That makes artificial gravitation a different type than so-called normal gravitation. When something is dropped in the spinning spacecraft that thing will drop by screw trajectory. 

And the fast-spinning spacecraft can cause nausea for people on board. The spinning structure is the only way how to make artificial gravitation. If we want to send the crew to other planets we need artificial gravitation. Without a gravitation field, the muscles of the astronaut will turn weak during the spaceflight that takes years.  

If the muscles are getting weak after space flight that person cannot operate on the surface of the planet. There is the possibility that the spin of the craft is not very fast if it is used only for anchoring things on the layers. In that case, the gravitation is used only to determine where the spacecraft's roof and floor are. 

There is introduced one of the most interesting visions of artificial gravitation. In that vision, while the craft is in the middle of the space between planets or stars the spin would be very slow. The muscles of the crew will turn weak. But when the craft is approaching its target speed of spin will increase. And that thing turns the gravitation stronger. 

When we will send the spacecraft to another planet. Artificial gravitation is the vital element of that things. The travel to other planets will take about a year if the destiny is Mars or Venus. But to the gas giants, the journey takes a longer time. And the only way to keep the crew in condition is the artificial gravitation. Or the remote-controlled robot can make that kind of mission. 

Things like social problems make manned missions inside our solar systems difficult. And, of course, the journey takes years. That means the crew must spend a considerable period of their life in the space. These kinds of things are even more difficult to solve than simple technical solutions that are needed in long-term space missions. But maybe someday humans will make the first bases on other planets.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
