Converting Solar Radiation into Rotating Dynamoes or Rotating Catapults

Uncategorized / By

There is interesting new work from Cool Worlds. A quasite is a conceptual space-based satellite system proposed by the Cool Worlds Lab (led by astronomer David Kipping), representing a hybrid or modified version of a traditional statite. A statite is an earlier idea for a solar sail-based satellite that remains completely stationary relative to a
