Glad someone came up with the equation. I was actually concerned with the g forces as well, just wasn't sure on the calculation. Back to the drawing board.
I don't think this is the same idea - similar but not the same. I'm proposing an accelerator IN SPACE, this wouldn't be used to get into orbit, the main purpose would be to accelerate cargo/craft to a vary fast speed before launching it into deep space, thus not having to rely on an onboard...
I see what you're saying, so the whole "loop" would want to rotate in the opposite direction, in this case it could be tethered to the moon in multiple areas. I would suppose to offset any variation on spin, each payload could be launched in the opposite direction. Now being that the loop's mass...
I'm hoping I can get my idea debunked or with some words of encouragement, continue my investigation in what could be an ideal way to solve some propulsion issues in space travel.
What I'm suggesting is building a large circular "maglev" accelerator in space, similar to CERN, which wouldn't...
I've also pondered this same idea and wanted to throw in time as a factor into the equasion, assuming that the length of time as we know it varies by mass. Now assuming that our universe was an atom of some enormous unknown substance (possibly in a combustion or fission stage), what would the...
