Re: Can we create Gravity?
Hi every one.
I have an answer to this one, atleast for a specific purpose. Artificial gravity is a requirement in future space settlement plans, a lot of the same is discussed in NASA space settlement design contest held every year.
The best means suggested by most entries is to rotate a container at a desirable speed and the objects within it shall feel a force (centrifugal) pushing them radially outward. If this container was huge, say in Kms of dia, then a human inside would actually feel as if he was under gravity. The radius of the container and speed of rotation are the parameters that decide the amount of ARTIFICIAL gravitational pull.
