A space elevator is a proposed type of transportation that would transport materials from Earth's surface to space using a 35,000 km long cable anchored to the Earth's surface at one end and a counterweight in space at the other. The idea was first proposed in 1895 but recent advances in carbon nanotube strength and durability have made the concept more feasible. A space elevator could provide cheap access to space at an estimated $100 per kg compared to thousands per kg for current rockets. It would enable practical applications like removing nuclear waste from Earth and generating solar power in space.
The document discusses plans for building a space elevator using carbon nanotubes. A space elevator would consist of five major sections: the anchor station on Earth's equator, the ribbon/tether made of carbon nanotubes extending into space, counterweights beyond geostationary orbit, climbers that would ascend and descend the tether, and an anchor platform in the ocean. Carbon nanotubes are proposed for the tether due to their immense strength, resilience when bent, and stability at high temperatures. A space elevator could provide low-cost access to space and open up opportunities for solar power satellites and exploration of the solar system.
Space travel is dangerous and expensive, but it doesn't have to be. Find out about an alternative way to reach orbit that is rapidly becoming feasible and may eventually change how we view our world.
Barry Hansen, as part of our Hands-On Ideas series, describes how he was inspired to build his own magnetic launch devices. Going from his science fiction influences through the theory and project iterations, he shows how a maker can explore space transportation technology.
The document discusses plans for building a space elevator to provide cheaper access to space. It proposes constructing an initial 20 ton capacity elevator using existing or near-term technologies like carbon nanotubes. The elevator would use climbers powered by solar panels to transport payloads at a low cost of $250/kg to various orbits and destinations in space. Some challenges include developing strong and lightweight tether materials, but advantages are low operations costs, no launch vibrations, and safe space access without rockets.
The document summarizes the Mini-Magnetospheric Plasma Propulsion (M2P2) concept. M2P2 uses a magnetic field and plasma injected from a helium source to create an artificial magnetosphere around a spacecraft that interacts with solar wind particles to provide thrust. A prototype M2P2 system could accelerate a 100-200 kg spacecraft to velocities of 50-80 km/s using only 15-30 kg of propellant over 3 months. M2P2 offers potential advantages over conventional chemical rockets and solar sails by providing continuous thrust with less fuel and mass.
The document discusses how loudspeakers work by using magnetic fields created by electric currents. It explains that electric currents produce magnetic fields and that loudspeakers contain a coil of wire that acts as an electromagnet when current passes through. The magnetic field from the electromagnet vibrates a cone to produce sound waves that are amplified and played through the loudspeaker. However, details of how exactly the loudspeaker converts electrical signals to sound waves are not provided.
This document proposes developing an ultra-light solar sail without a plastic backing for use in interstellar travel. It summarizes the proposed scope of work, which includes analyzing the reflectivity and engineering constraints of nanometer-thick aluminum sheets and grids, as well as doped carbon nanotubes. Preliminary analyses show these ultra-light concepts could achieve accelerations over 100 times greater than conventional solar sails and reach distances like Pluto in months or 10,000 AU in decades. The document recommends a Phase II experimental program to fabricate and test nanoscale reflectors and verify their properties.

The document discusses how drones fly and are powered. It explains that lift from rotors pushing air downward equalizes the force of gravity, allowing for hovering. Drone propulsion comes from jet engines or electric motors powered by batteries that are often recharged with solar panels. The efficiency of converting sunlight to electricity via solar panels is discussed, currently around 35%. The document then considers whether a drone depicted in a movie could realistically fly continuously for 10 years using only solar power, determining it is not currently possible due to technological limitations of solar cell efficiency.
1. David Goodwin proposes an electromagnetic propulsion system for spacecraft that uses supercooled electromagnets vibrating at 400,000 times per second to provide thrust.
2. The system would use a nuclear reactor to power solid-state switches that pulse the electromagnets, generating a vibration that could theoretically propel a spacecraft at a fraction of 1% the speed of light.
3. While speculative, if successful the system could enable missions to the edge of the solar system and beyond, faster than any chemical rockets. Testing is needed to determine if the magnets can truly generate unidirectional thrust.

Why The Solar System's First Space Elevator Will Likely be MartianMax Fagin
Space Elevators involve lowering a tether from synchronous orbit down to the surface of a planet, then electromechanically hauling payload up the tether to space. While theoretically possible, the concept has been shown to be infeasible on Earth until the development of mass-produced ultra-lightweight materials with specific tensile strengths of ~40 MPa/kg/m^3 (~20 times stronger than Kevlar). Such strength is within the theoretical limits of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs), but it is not known when practical commercially available CNTs will reach this required strength. On Mars, however, the lower surface gravity and lower synchronous orbit altitude allow a space elevator to be built from materials with specific strengths of only ~5 MPa/kg/m^3, which is within the range of existing CNTs, provided such materials could be mass produced. The required tether mass and length is also significantly reduced from 9,000 tonnes and 155,000 km at Earth to only 1,500 tonnes and 70,000 km at Mars. The driving engineering limits for construction of a space elevator will be compared between Earth and Mars, and an industrial/economic analysis will be presented to quantify the project scale, timeline, cost, and expected economic activity Mars will likely have to support before a Martian space elevator would become a profitable investment.

Space Elevators involve lowering a tether down from orbit to the surface of a planet, then electromechanically hauling payload up the tether to space. While the concept is theoretically sound, it has been shown to be infeasible on Earth until the development of mass-produced ultra-lightweight materials with specific tensile strengths in the range of ~40 MPa/kg/m3 (~20 times stronger than Kevlar).

This document summarizes the key scientific concepts relating to the aurora phenomenon. It outlines the timeline of major discoveries, including the identification of the 11-year sunspot cycle and measurements of aurora height. The document then explains the underlying physics, such as the role of the solar magnetic field in generating solar activity like coronal mass ejections that interact with Earth's magnetic field. This interaction causes plasma to collide with air particles, exciting them and causing the colorful lights of the aurora through atomic excitation and radiation. The color and altitude of auroras are also summarized.
Solar sails use radiation pressure from the sun for propulsion and have minimal moving parts. They produce very small thrusts but can be used repeatedly over long periods. A seminar discussed the physical principles behind solar radiation pressure and how it produces small forces on sails. Attitude control is needed to maintain the craft's orientation against various forces. Testing is challenging on Earth but applications could include satellites for trajectory corrections and missions close to the sun. Various sail configurations and materials have been proposed but deployment challenges have limited real-world testing until Japan's 2010 IKAROS mission, the first to use a solar sail as a primary propulsion system.

Advance Propulsion System in Space Exploration - Ion PropulsionVINOTHE9
As part of the assignment for the course Propulsion 2, a presentation was given on an overview of advanced propulsion systems. The presentation specifically focused on electric propulsion systems, including ion propulsion. It also covered the Dawn Mission and the MIT Ion Propulsion Glider.
This document summarizes a seminar presentation on space elevators. It begins by defining a space elevator as a theoretical structure connecting Earth's surface to beyond geosynchronous orbit. It then discusses the benefits of building a space elevator over current rocket launch systems, including much lower projected costs per kilogram and safer access to space without explosive propellants. The main components of a space elevator - the cable, anchor, climber, and counterweight - are then described. Several major engineering hurdles to building a space elevator are identified, but the document concludes that with significant investment, space elevators could enable more affordable and routine access to space in the near future.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
2. Introduction
• Science went deeply into
sciences including the space.
• What do we hope for the
future ?
• Do we have the best way to
explore the space ?! Let’s
have a look
3. What is the
Space
Elevator?
• Tall theoretical structure
“tower” that stretch beyond the
earth’s atmosphere.
• This idea first envisioned by
Russian rocket scientist
Konstantin Tsiol kovsky.
• Normal rockets costs too
much, what about using
easier and costless method !!
4. Theory of space elevator
• A cable attached to the surface and the space beyond
• Forces would hold up the cable.
• Gravity and centrifugal force.
• Climbers will repeatedly climb the cable
• Climbers could take the way up and down
• That is applicable to other planets (no material or gravity probs)
5. Why would we built one ?
• Normal satellite costs $160,000,000
• $ 22,000 for 1-kilogram payload
• Cost will be billions
• With space elevator cost decreases
• one hundredfold to $ 200 per kilogram
6.
7. Maybe a space
elevator costs more
than the normal
rocket launch, an
expensive one will cost
20 Billion dollars but
we can collect the
losses after the first 1
million tons.
8. Proper places to build space elevator
Space elevator in Earth is not easy.
More useful places to build it
Moon and mars for examples
We will use the existing materials
10. Safety and security
• Normal rocket lunch process looks like
Riding a giant explosion.
• As is Coming back trip.
• Space elevator gives us a safe access.
• No explosion! No Dangerous launch!
11. The figure shows us Failures and successes statistics about launches through 57 years
12. Applications
• Large solar panel towers in space.
• Maximum amount of sunlight possible
all the day.
• High performance
telecommunications systems.
• “Space train“ adapted from science
fiction novels.
• Moon,Mars and Solar System
Exploration.
13. How would we build one ?!
Main components:
• The Tether
• Anchor
• Climber
• Counterweight
14. Carbon nanotubes
• Light, flexible and ultra-strong metal
• At least 1000 times stronger than steel
• Flexible as plastic
• Tiny rolled three-dimensional carbon
tubes
• Young’s modulus 6.25 times that of
steel
• Single and multi-walled tubes
15. Probable Challenges
• The flaw of tower idea (weight of the tower)
• Tensile force on the tether
• Lightning, wind, clouds
• Climbers Errors – Retrieving process
• We need to build it right in the first time
• Or we head to the moon
• 200 years life to overcome damage
16. Energy
• Wireless energy transfer:
- Free-electron laser system
- It requires two physical installation points
• Some material structure
• Store the energy in the climber
such as nuclear energy.
• Solar power - the weight limits the speed of climber.
