Plasma Collection and Uses for Acceleration
As a hotel passes beyond the magnetosphere, it will begin to magnetically collect some magnetically charged plasma. Can we, by ejecting the plasma collected in the plasma core, produce acceleration? If so, the experiments will continue in order to learn how much acceleration we can produce by adjusting the main magnets. A semi-permeable membrane may be used to cover the ends of the plasma core to retain the gas that cannot escape through the membrane. With a properly designed and controlled venting system, we will control the venting of the gasses to produce reverse and forward thrust.
Experiments
The first hotel will be raised to an orbit beyond Earths magnetosphere, transporting a minimum number of animals, mammals, insects and other life forms (our first space tourists). We will be searching for answers to questions such as:
- Will the magnetosphere collect plasma protecting the life forms?
- Does collecting fast moving plasma alter the movement of the hotel?
- Can the plasma core coils expel the plasma, creating thrust?
- What is the temperature of the plasma?
- What happens when plasma is concentrated and not moving?
- What happens to the plasma when shaded?
- What happens as plasma cools?
- Will it convert to a gaseous state, between the correct atmospheric pressures?
- Will plasma cool and become a gas then a liquid and finally a solid?
- How quickly does the plasma cool?
- What happens when plasma cools when in contact with different materials: copper, gold, silver, etc.?
- Can we cool the plasma to a gas and allow the gas to escape creating thrust?
- Can we extract power from the heat of the plasma?
