You would just need permenant magnets embedded in the boots. The real
reason for artificial gravity is that there are serious health
consequences to living in a zero-gee environment for any length of
time. Plus, it helps keep your stuff sorted.


Karl Hallowell


The health consequences could be avoided by putting a load on the
body, for example using bunge cords to pull the shoulders to the feet.
This is similar to the treadmill they have that they run on.
To really reproduce gravity and to perfectly match earth conditions
you need a spinning habitat. This can be cheaply and easily done I
don't know why this is an issue at all. The ship has to have a
cylindrical habitat and this cylinder has to spin. The people on the
inside surface can enjoy almost real gravity.
