A Solution for Mars Mission Cosmic Ray & Low Gravity Problems
Three of the major problems facing a long-duration Mars mission are high-radiation cosmic rays, solar flare particles, and degradation of astronauts' physiology due to low gravity. Here's a solution that solves all three of these with a single approach. First, if the space ship is tethered to a counter-balance and rotated in a large arc, it created centrifugal force with a minimum of material and weight. Second, if a circle of lightweight conductive material is extended just beyond the arc of the rotating ship/counter-balance assembly, it will act as a standard generator as the ship and counter-balance act as positive and negative poles sweeping past the light weight conductive circle. This power can be used to create a magnetic field that would deflect cosmic rays. Third, in chill of space, use of the proper materials in the large circle construction could create a super conductor effect which could multiply the power generated so that it would become strong enough to...
