Man never set foot on the moon. It was all done in a studio. It's the biggest fraud ever [edit] 1. could this interfere with the electronics? -- |

Something like a railgun has been "proposed", but it's not really viable for living cargo. Could be used to send supplies though...

Railgun could work. According to Marshall Savage, if sufficiently large it could give into-space acceleration with only 10g at a time. -- |

This leads me to strongly beleave that the name you give a child will affect how the child turns out. I don't understand; I've skimmed this whole thread and not seen one single joke about how he wants to abduct people and train them for a year in preperation for the Sayians' arrival .... -- |

I'm still having a bit of trouble understanding your idea. Quote: @2.) it would pulse. like a hovering bird. When HardTranceFan said Quote: if the distance the magnetic force applies is short, would the initial shove created by the magnets be too great for the human body to handle?
I think he was saying that if you had one magnet on the ground and another on the ship, the force needed to propel the ship into orbit would be so great it would crush people inside. I don't understand how 'pulsing' makes any sense here. Would it shoot the ship up a bit and then let it fall and then shoot up again? Because that doesn't accomplish anything (except a fun ride Or, are you suggesting that the second magnet travels along with the ship? I suspect that's what you mean, and in that case I'll just quietly leave this thread... |

Piccolo, to clarify, this is just an ion drive, a very old invention. It basically consists of an asymmetric condensator loaded with high voltage. The air becomes ionised and the now loaded particles produce an ion wind, which presses the lifter up into the air. This is very efficient. There are a few things that make it impractical to use: A) The force is very weak. If you need a stronger force, you'd have to use higher voltage which would lead to flashes and thus damage to the drive. B) You need air. This drive would not work in vacuum.

Quote: B) You need air. This drive would not work in vacuum. Depends on the type of ion drive you're talking about. Theres at least one probe out in space with an ion drive, which is estimated to be going at 1/10th the speed of light by now. Takes months to get going that fast, but hey, it can -- |

Actually, you have to ionise something, so you would carry a bottle full of gas with you. But this does make no sense, just take a bottle with a gas under high pressure and open it - it would be the same effect.

Ionizing engines work for atmospheric transport, but not for space. Speaking of which, I have for a long time been thinking about how to make an electricity-only space engine, such that nothing except energy is lost to create propulsion. A system that for instance heats water with electricity to create steam wouldn't work because if you run out of water you are just as stranded as if you ran out of electricity. Any thoughts? -- |
