With no resistance in space I guess it wouldn't really help
The fan is powered by light of course... ?? Solar energy... Or does light work different in space?
That's something I have been wondering... Which I think if we could harness an extra thrust some how from the light.. I mean I doubt a fan will but maybe more a screw?
Could u not make a solar sail kinda like Davinci's flying machine ? Or does that just sound cool ... And then if the base must rotate then why not make it corkscrew shaped and also solar sail? ... One word a day? Today's word is procrastinanigans... The act of procrastinating...
https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/fan-in-vacuum.440620/#post-2947649 this is the forum I read about the effects of a fan in space, saying that there is nothing in space for a fan to push against. But what about light?
so the question has been previously answered as to what would happen if a fan was in the vacuum of space. but the responses I seen all ask what the fan would push on or up against. what if the fan where to push against light? solar sails are able to have a force push against them in space?
