Ten inventions which should come about (PART 1)
…today’s dreams may be tomorrow’s realities
Interstellar travel
We have become familiar with the concept of interstellar travel by means of literature and science-fiction movies. It basically consists in the movement of a spatial vehicle through the galaxy at light speed over huge distances. This form of transportation is by far more complex than interplanetary travel, mainly due to the superior distances between stars. The possibility of managing such technology would allow the human race to reach new horizons and colonize faraway spaces of the galaxy.
Is it possible? NASA researchers believe so, as long as two major scientific conquests can take place: inventing a propulsion method which can allow reaching the maximum possible speed in the Universe and a new means of producing energy on board of the spaceship, which would give it indefinite sustenance and assure continuous functioning of all the devices. The issue of foodstuff resources is less discussed as human crew is not yet taken into account to be aboard the ship undertaking such a journey.
Terra-formation
With the meaning of “imitating terrestrial life”, it consists of the hypothetical process of deliberately modifying the atmospheric, climate, topographic, environmental and geological conditions of a planet in order to turn it into a habitable space with much possible similarity to the circumstances of life on Earth. This invention will indeed be necessary if it should ever come to interstellar colonization.
Can this be done? Theoretically, it can, by means of ecosynthesis, which is the process of introducing species into a certain space to fill the gaps in a disrupted environment with the purpose of increasing the speed of environmental restoration. The transformation would take place progressively, from a small space to the surface of a whole spatial body. Mars is deemed as the favorite potential planet for applying the terra-formation by many specialists. A number of studies regarding the possibility to heat the Red Planet and modify its atmosphere have been carried out and it is considered that the necessary technology for such endeavor is indeed available. However, the actual economical circumstances do not play along. Also taken into consideration for similar projects are the Moon and Venus.
Space elevator
The space elevator is a technological structure already in project state, which can serve for the purpose of transporting any type of matter from the surface of a celestial body directly into space. This means is regarded as a viable alternative to using a rocket. The concept consists mainly of the vertical movement of a cabin-like structure rising from the Earth surface to the geo-stationary orbit where a counterforce body would be installed. The idea of a space elevator first came up in 1895, when it was suggested by a Konstantin Tsiolkovski, who had dubbed it “Tsiolkovski Tower”. This invention would facilitate setting up various equipments and appliances in outer space, as well as launching satellites and traveling on the orbit.
Possible? Sure. The most plausible approach at the moment is by use of a cable or halter of special composition, acting as a circulation channel. It would rise from Earth’s equatorial zone to a spot outside the terrestrial orbit, where it would be anchored to a counterweight meant to strain the cable to the planet’s exterior. The inertia at the end of the cable would maintain the halter extended through gravitational force along with Earth’s rotation. Thus, the vehicles would be able to glide upwards along the cable, without the aid of rocket propulsion. This fact would considerably lower the costs of a space launch.
By constructing the magniwork power generator, you will be able to generate completely free electric energy, meaning , create energy without needing any source of renewable or non-renewable energy. The generator powers itself and creates energy by itself, without requiring solar energy, heat, water, coal or any kind of resource. This generator powers itself and works indefinitely, without stopping, creating a large amount of energy.
