ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY

Force of Gravity or Gravitational Force attracts us towards the earth . This

force is responsible for attraction of one body towards other body. The value
of this force on the earth is numerically equal to 9.8 m/sq.sec. But when the
time comes to settle on space , creating artificial gravity will be one of the
major factors.

Before we head forward, we need to know that how can we produce gravity
equal to the gravity on earth. The main reason for creating gravity equal to
that on the blue planet is because the people on the planet have been
habituated to this value. Creating this value in space artificially is by
spinning . When our space station Survi-tron spins the centrifugal force acts
upon the inhabitants leading to production of artificial gravity in space.

This gravity is the most important reason for human survival in space.
According to scientific researches humans cannot survive in space for more
than 14 days because heart and blood vessels do not adapt to such
conditions easily. Living in a weightless environment leads to decrease in
muscle mass moreover the white blood cells and blood volume decrease by
10%. This can be expressed as a major factor developing Gravity station in a
region which has zero gravity.

The main difference between gravity on the earth and that in space is that
the artificial gravity makes coriolis effect . This is a type of inertial force
which seems to act on two or more bodies that are motion. This cannot be
termed as a real force because it is a result of the action of any other body.

After knowing about difference of the artificial gravity in space to gravity on

earth. Let us focus regarding the functioning of this artificial system of
producing gravity.

 Spinning of our space station Survi-tron requires

Angular Momentum and Kinetic Energy : in this case the
angular momentum of the system must be conserved .
This requires a large amount of energy.
The different types of torus included in the space
settlement of the survi-tron include the calculations for
the angular velocity, tangential velocity and radius .

Formulae used for these calculations:

 R = a( T/ 2π)
 a = R(2π/T)
 T = 2π√ R/a
