Paddle board from bringing people to space

The means of cushioning ships from space that can bring people to orbit on Earth will be born within 20 years, scientists assert.

Startram is the name of the project to build a magnetic spacecraft driven by superconducting cables held in midair by magnetic force. Dr. James Powell - a physicist who invented the magnetic paddle vessel, and Dr. George Maise - an aeronautical mechanic who worked for Brookhaven National Laboratory in the US - is the project initiator. Create Startram.

Magnetic spacers are a means of being lifted, driven and pushed forward by magnetic force or electromagnetic force.

"Magnetic spacecraft technology and basic physical laws will be applied during Startram fabrication. Any country can install a Startram system with the ability to put 300,000 tons of goods on the fund. directing the earth at less than US $ 40 / kg, " Powell and Maise stated.

Superconducting cables are kept in midair thanks to magnetic force.

The pipe in the Startram system will launch the ship into space. If shipping, the speed of the ship will gradually increase to 9 km / s thanks to the powerful electromagnet, Startram.com said.

"The solar system contains an enormous amount of resources. The energy that the sun travels to the earth is about 10,000 times the current human energy needs. Raw materials on meteorites and comets can serving the earth's economic needs for thousands of years, "said the two inventors.

Powell Maise said that their project needed 60 billion dollars."The shipping version only needs $ 20 billion and can be completed in 10 years. With the version capable of carrying people, we need $ 60 billion and 20 years," Powell said.

Scientists from the US Aeronautics Agency (NASA) have reviewed the project idea and concluded that this is a feasible project. According to them, after Startram was born, the cost of bringing people to space will decrease and the space tourism industry will explode. People can also use Startram to mine minerals from meteorites. Spacers from space also become useful means of transport for people to avoid wars or natural disasters.

However, Powell and Maise said their projects will be an international program, because if only one or several countries deploy a buffer ship system from space, an expensive arms race will occur.
