What is a mass driver?
The material controller indicates some form of electromagnetic catapult used to start the useful load in orbit faster than the leakage speed. The material driver would use a linear motor that is designed to force the object in one direction and then releases, unlike a rotating engine. Momentum carries an object for the rest of the intended course.
Linear motors use electromagnetic power to drive the projectile or transport units forward. High -speed linear motors are either rail or coils. Railguns use Lorentz's power that drives the project perpendicular to the flowing magnetic field; While Coilguns use an alternative burning sequence of electromagnets to drive the projectile. There is a gentle difference. The sequential and timed nature of the electromagnets allows them to finely determine speed and acceleration. This check allows passengers and cargo to be exposed to a minimum G-Síl.
Mass Driverje technology that intends to disrupt ChemiCkou rocket. It could eventually compete with a cosmic elevator or space fountain. If the lower acceleration factor is required, the mass driver must consist of a longer and more gradual track. Most of the designs on the track are at least tens of kilometers (or tens of miles). Some cosmic enthusiasts designed the Savannas of Africa as the best place to build a mass driver because of their land level.
Some mass drivers include a spacecraft driven pieces of material from its back instead of being fired from a mass driver. Combinations of both are certainly possible and the most proposed proposals of mass controls include reception drivers designed to extract as much mobility as possible from the coming projectile.
Mass drivers can one day allow cheap interstellar travel. Using huge tubes thousands of kilometers long, pods would be run fromStars to the star at relativistic speeds. Only the dust particles would be deducted from the momentum of the object, while the rest would be re -captured at the other end. Bulk drivers could open the galaxy to travel.
