What’s a Gravity Machine? « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers!


What’s a Gravity Machine? Keep in mind that half in Star Trek IV the place Kirk, Spock and co. used the gravity of the solar to whip their ship as much as a unprecedented velocity. It’s like that, however with much less time-travel and one other star. Right here’s extra from Centauri Desires:

Freeman Dyson’s notion, defined within the paper “Gravitational Machines” that we checked out final week, was to extract vitality from a binary star system, as proven within the determine from the paper under. The ever imaginative Dyson, keep in mind, was captivated by the chances of engineering on the a part of superior civilizations, whose works we’d observe within the type of technosignatures. Right here, the concept includes two stars of mass equal to the Solar revolving round a standard barycenter. A spacecraft might be injected into an orbit that maximizes the gravitational impact…
