Space Junk
One way to focus gravity may be through the use of a series of superconducting rings and/or electromagnets. Two or three pivoting stations on earth, with the right tracking system, could be used to track a piece of junk and pull it down into the atmosphere to burn up or land in an ocean. For items in geostationary orbit, these stations would have to be mobile. Of course it would take a whole team of scientists and engineers to get this working.
There are other applications relating to this little entry that most intelligent people reading this could surmise.
Being able to focus gravity would open the door to countless new possibilities. If you could focus and direct gravity, you could potentially use it push things up as well. Imagine a zero energy space launch. Focused and directed gravity could be used in power production as well. Again, the possibilities would be endless.
With the debate going on right now about space based weapons, who will first wake up and start doing the work to enable us to pull weapons out of space? Spaced based weapons could become obsolete before they are ever deployed.
Interesting possibilities in the area of space travel , too. It’s almost a joke to even mention specific applications, because the possibilities are practically endless; truly vast potential.
I calculate 166 W/m^2 at the surface of the earth, which at the subatomic level is a background energy that operates in a vacuum.
That makes sense, I just don’t understand most of the details and less of the math, so I don’t know where to draw the line ;]
A type of device has been conceived to be used to clear orbital space debris. The physical principles are known, though there are engineering and manufacturing challenges to be overcome. My friends advise me not to reveal the details publicly, but rather to file a patent disclosure.
