japan dimensional elevator

Not limited to science fiction, a company building the Japanese giant has announced that they will build a lift or elevator goes into space in 2050.The company named Obayashi it will build a lift with a length of 96,000 kilometers in order to reach beyond Earth. If the plan is successful, then a trip to outer space revolution materialized and potentially changing global economy.This lift will operate using magnetic linear engine power that will bring a number of people and cargo into a new space station built. The cost will be much smaller than the use of rockets. This elevator takes 7 days to get to the destination.The company said things that were once only a mere fantasy is now a reality, thanks to the development of carbon nanotechnology."Its appeal is almost 100 times stronger than steel cable, so it may just happen," said Yoji Ishikawa as research and development manager of Obayashi, as published by ABC, Monday (09/22/2014).However, according to Ishikawa, Obayashi company has yet to make a long cable and can be used to lift. But the optimistic Obayashi can design a long cable coming decades."We can only make a pipe-nano equal to 3 cm, but we need a longer ... and it looks like we can do in 2030."According to Japanese scientists, Professor Tadashi Egami, the tension in the cable will vary. It depends on the height and gravity."We are studying the mechanism of what it takes to ride at different heights and the best brake system," he said. "We are ready to cooperate globally with a number of other companies."With the lift, the use of a rocket into space that the cost is very expensive, would likely be abandoned.Imagine, using the spacecraft to carry cargo to cost U $ 22 thousand or USD 263 million per kilogram. As for the space elevator, the cost estimate is US $ 200 or USD 2.3 million.Existence space elevator could also embody a rocket launch from the space station without requiring more fuel is needed to break the gravity or gravity.In addition to realizing the space tourism, the lift can also help solve the problem of scarcity of electricity in the world through the contribution of solar energy much cheaper price.
