Hello Luggers,
Space tourism is now a possible reality with the succes= sfull
flight of a private space craft. Many years ago I observed the spinni ng wheel in the starting video of the TV serial 'Mahabharata'. That gave me= an idea of creating artificial gravity in space for the convenience of spa= ce travellers. Imagine a spinning wheel having a thick hollow circumference= . This hollow circumference will be the rooms of the space building. The ac= tual circumference wall will be the floor of the rooms which will be interc= onnected in a round circle. As the wheel spins, it creates centrifugal forc= e and this force pushes the people and material against the outer wall (flo= or). This is artificial gravity. As I don't know the calculations, I am not= in a position to know the practical maximum diameter as well as the rotati= on speed that can be possible in space. Even if we cannot get full gravity,= a partial one will be very handy for tourists who may find the proce= ss of using the toilet under zero gravity conditions awkward and revolting.= This will also keep the body in earth like familiar conditions for longer = stay in space. The centering balance of the wheel can be done by having pum= ps that will pump liquid mercury into hollow chambers all along the circumf erence, according to the weight imbalance, in a sensing similar to car whee= l balancing. Mercury is the heaviest liquid and will occupy minimum volume.
The Indian hotel industry should come together to cre= ate hotels
and recreation centres in space before others get into the race.= We will need hotels, cinema halls, reception halls (for space marriages an= d birthday bashes), gyms, and other sight seeing sites for space tourists. = The big guns should get into the act with ISRO.
Regard= s,
