SEMINAR ON Space Elevator : Experts agree that the biggest drain of energy takes place when a vehicle blasts off, pushing through Earth’s gravitational pull requires great amounts of fuel, but once they get out of our atmosphere, the rest is easy.
If you could cut out that “blast off” portion, space travel would be easier and much more fuel-efficient.
In a Space Elevator scenario, a Maglev vehicle would zoom up the side of an exceedingly tall structure and end up at a transfer point where they’d then board a craft to the Moon, Mars, or any other distant destination.
If it all sounds like too much science fiction, take a look at the requirements for making the Space Elevator a reality. A new material has been developed, however, called carbon nanotubes, that is 100 times as strong as steel but with only a fraction of the weight.
A carbon nanotube is an idea that makes this all sound much more achievable.
In this concept, which is very fuel efficient and which brings space tourism closer common man uses the newly added concept of nanotubes to light.
