Magnetohydrodynamic Space Drive
On of my concepts is to use the solar corona gas as fuel for
a true space drive. I looked at the topic and found that records, wiki, call it impractical. I will point out that plasma production energy costs appear the cause of impracticality. My space drive is designed to use free coronal plasma as the fuel. It also warns of heating of the interior "chute" causes loss of physical integrity. I would use a suffiecient ablative ceramic, nonconductive, to line the central plasma chute. Given free plasma allows a huge gain in efficiency. It is to be a cometary ejection form of orbit to free interstellar space. The energy source to make a magnetic field is quite obvious high temperature solar cells. Why do I bother? |

Seems like if your talking about "magnetohydrodynamic", you could also include geoengineering an asteroid or small moon for artificial Van Allen, then rejuvenate the small body via what Carl Sagan suggested |

Pretend the Rocky Mountains are a plate like asteroid and calculate the gravity pull at a disk edge like geometry. Then calculate the earths gravity for a Rocky Mountain free Earth. Pretend you are at Boulder Colorado. Now add the asteroid gravity vector. Now we have an obvious gravity anomaly. The question. What type of glider design can fly using this horizontal Rocky Mountain gravity vector? |

Gravity doesn't work like that. Are you saying an asteroid has no gravity? My anomaly is stated using an allowed two body system. If the asteroid was just overhead would its gravity pull cause a net change in total pull? In my thinking why would we be restricted to overhead vector two body system? Newton's gravity is a spherical geometry theory. How would you calculate a disk asteroid gravity map? Remember mass does not attenuate another mass's gravity field, you can literally use a set of small spheres filling the sphere of Earth to estimate Earths gravity pull. The same goes for a disk asteroid. |
