Escape velocity needed to sling a 100kg object into space : ve ≈ 11.2km/s × 3600s/hr = 40,320 kph Please advise if that Large centrifuge is releasing the payload at that speed... This would be a viable longterm solution instead of burning up dinosaurs/fossil fuels in the atmosphere... PS. I don't chain Myself to Trees to make myself feel better about my impact, nor am i Climate Change Junkie, just a concerned Earthling 🌍 Side note: SpaceX Starship - I love that beast 🚀 Total Fuel Usage per Launch: Approximately 3,400 metric tons of propellant. Estimated CO₂ Emissions per Launch: Approximately 3,300 metric tons (from methane combustion). Overall Production: Long-term goal could involve hundreds of Starships to support various missions Fleet Size for Mars: 100 Starships Those are💩Tons of CO₂ to get to space, from the same guy that make Tesla's on weekends 😁... Ironic No? Sometimes even the most brilliant mind coincidently creates atrocities in wake of chasing Progress... Albert Einstein and the Nuclear Bomb - Einstein’s E=MC₂ theoretical insights into mass-energy equivalence were foundational, but he did not work directly on the development of nuclear weapons. Ps. Just an Observation ; )
This looks like one of those kickstarter Scams. I bet the CEOs pay themselves absurd salaries and all the videos are just disguisted marketing materials to get more investors on board.
@@laff__8821no. Just carbon nanotubes, Graphene boronitride, and everything arranged like the Olympic rings- using chainmail design with some metal in the resin. Typical carbon fiber is not made the way it should:-/ it would delaminate and break too easily
Yeah it went out the lid, nevermind what happened afterwards, let's just show months old footage of awe and celebration. Come on guys, I want you to win and disprove my doubts about this technology. Show me how you stop the pitch spin of the projectile after release. Don't sell us for stupid, give us some hard numbers.
SpinLaunch is still in the "might, could, should, will" marketing stage. They have launched several suborbital slugs by late 2023 but nothing to orbit. Still doubtful any satellite could handle the g-forces neccessary to accomplish orbit. But as a weapon system it has promise.
I have a degree in physics. What exactly do they intend on putting into sub-orbit with this thing? I know of no technology that could withstand the Gs from the centrifugal force that an object would have to endure in order to build up enough kinetic energy to send it into sub-orbit.
