Default Re: Theoretical Physics [OT thread]

Hey, thats a ready-made artificial gravity for spaceships!

Just scale it up ten times, and you've got a Grav-bed you can set to 1g for when you sleep in orbit. Build it with a superconductor, and it won't use up any electricity once its running, either.

You could also use it for when you're boosting to orbit, to cancel the 14g peak acceleration.

With a nuclear/antimatter fuelled engine, you could run continuously at high g's without crushing your crew.

Heck, maybe thats what SE4 races use when they go from a tiny moon, to a huge Rock world.
