Stellar Accelerator Starship Propulsion: Volume 1.

4.9/5 (27372 ratings)

Description:This is the first volume of a series of books about a fascinating class of potential methods for accelerating spacecraft to almost the speed of light. Herein is presented methods for accelerating a spacecraft to relativistic velocities in revolving motions around stars. Centripetal force is expressed at the Newtonian Limit as: F = (m)(v EXP 2)/r but relativistically as: F = (gamma)(m)(v EXP 2)/r. So, assuming merely light conversion to spacecraft propulsion energy, the spacecraft should undergo runaway acceleration. This is because while the relativistic centripetal force for near light-speed craft is ever more closely approximated by scaling with the first power of gamma, the propulsive energy intake scales with the fourth power of gamma. So, as F increases by a factor of gamma, spacecraft reference frame acceleration ideally increases by the fourth power of gamma or at a rate which grows faster than F by the third power of gamma. Thus, the propulsion energy intake experienced by the spacecraft can in theory runaway to extreme limits. I thankfully offer you an opportunity to read this book to learn more.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
