| docl | longer lasting icebergs? they are melting due to exposed surface to the warmer water, after all | 20:16 |
| kanzure | yeah but how much longer lasting | 20:17 |
| kanzure | approximately | 20:17 |
| kanzure | 20%? i guess that could be up to 20% of a year. so that would be nice. | 20:18 |
| kanzure | i wonder if you could anchor an iceberg below, and shrink the cables on the anchors during the day. during the night, slowly release the iceberg back to the surface. | 20:19 |
| docl | probably decades longer would be my guess, since we're going from direct contact to contact through an insulator. but I'm not sure how easily such a layer could stick to a melting iceberg | 20:19 |
| kanzure | and then you can keep it mostly under water anyway | 20:20 |
| kanzure | get a good surface area of a square ~mile or something... yep. | 20:20 |

| kanzure | 20:21 <+Darius> oh, drexler's lightsails were a fave example of going straight for orders-of-magnitude improvement. i'd like to imagine they're beng ignored for sound reasons | 20:22 |
| docl | the bigger the iceberg the less surface area per unit volume, so really big ones should last a lot longer. 1000x the volume should last about 10x as long all else equal | 20:23 |
| Darius | kanzure: i think i saw someone say something like that his control arrangement was unstable. i don't remember. i was thinking mainly about the manufacture-on-site aspect. | 20:24 |
| kanzure | docl: sure. there are weather services that monitor huge icebergs, tracking them for years and even giving them names https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recorded_icebergs_by_area | 20:25 |
| kanzure | not very flat though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC3VTgIPoGU | 20:32 |

| docl | another complaint I have about PB's orbital ring papers is that he applies a linear approach to get 1000x bootstrapping in 1 year | 20:44 |
| docl | in reality, you could go way faster. each milliyear (8 hour period) is worth 1 doubling. so you get to 1024x in 80 hours and run out of planet to bootstrap with in well under a year.. | 20:45 |
| fenn | how is any of this sensible compared to rotating momentum exchange tethers? | 20:47 |
| fenn | the stationary tethers are just deadweight | 20:48 |
| fenn | and it has to go all the way around the planet | 20:48 |
| docl | I don't think it has to be a single contiguous structure around the planet. more like a swarm of discrete particles. so it's basically the same thing as a satellite constellation, just more densely packed. | 20:50 |
| kanzure | docl: he means http://tethers.com/MXTethers2.html | 20:50 |
| fenn | page 10 "in the event of ring rupture the skyhook will fall off the end" | 20:52 |
| fenn | i agree it could probably be built more like a space fountain, but that's a space fountain not a ring... | 20:52 |
| docl | if it's ring shaped, isn't it? | 20:53 |

| fenn | i don't quite get how you're supposed to go from the top of the skyhook to orbit | 20:57 |
| fenn | the side of the football shaped ring doesn't match any stable orbit | 21:00 |
| docl | I think the process involves an electromagnetic sled of sorts. you'd use magnetic friction (induction + resistance) to match velocity to the ballast passing below you. | 21:00 |
| -!- augur_ [~augur@c-73-46-94-9.hsd1.fl.comcast.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap | 21:01 | |
| docl | the football is supposed to be the sides of two ellipses shoved together. the points are where the two elevators act as deflectors. | 21:01 |
| docl | the shape looks more like an icosagon with rounded sides if you have 20 elevators | 21:02 |
| -!- augur [~augur@c-73-46-94-9.hsd1.fl.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds] | 21:03 | |
| docl | the more mass there is in the ring relative to the elevator's weight/drag, the more circular it looks. the football seems exaggerated for effect. his examples use something like 100:1 ratios, I think. you can also go closer to straight edged polygon shapes if the speed is higher relative to circular orbital velocity, although that wouldn't work well without a fair number of points. | 21:06 |
| fenn | would it make more sense to have a bunch of solar panels flying around instead of a ring? | 21:07 |
| fenn | of course then you have to refuel them | 21:10 |
| fenn | unless this emdrive thing checks out | 21:10 |
| -!- Solvaring [~Solvaring@173.44.37.106] has joined ##hplusroadmap | 21:11 | |
| fenn | it seems unlikely that humanity will get its shit together enough to build such a massive up-front-investment system as this | 21:11 |
| docl | depends on the actual minimum scale. if it's 180 thousand tons like he says, then yeah. | 21:12 |
| fenn | for a variety of reasons i prefer the electrodynamic momentum exchange tethers | 21:12 |
| docl | one idea I had is to make a track, about 100 km long, of orbital mass that you can use a similar magnetic sled concept to match speeds with. EDTs distributed along its length would be useful to stablize it and replenish its lost velocity. | 21:13 |
| docl | one problem is it doesn't solve the altitude issue, just orbital burn. to actually use it you'd need sounding rockets, space planes, or something along those lines | 21:14 |
| fenn | if you haven't read the tether papers yet, here's corny animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPx1Nq80jm8 | 21:15 |
| fenn | just the music is corny | 21:15 |
| docl | thanks | 21:15 |
| fenn | skip to 3 minutes | 21:16 |
| fenn | the payload can be suborbital and it can be somewhat in the atmosphere | 21:16 |
| fenn | or for less annoying planets you can just pick it up off the planet surface | 21:17 |
| fenn | energy is stored in the eccentricity of the tether's orbit | 21:20 |
| fenn | the rotation is purely for offsetting the tether tip's relative velocity to the payload | 21:21 |
| docl | one thing I like about an ORS is the geographic stability of the individual elevators. having one in your town is a bit like having an airport. mx-tethers are sort of variable in terms of where they affect economically (although you could plan specifically to say these specific places are the special pick up points, if you wanted to) | 21:22 |
| fenn | the touchdown point doesn't change | 21:22 |
| fenn | well, you have to put energy in to change it | 21:23 |
| docl | I wonder what the minimum realistic mass of an elevator cable from earth surface to LEO altitude would be. | 21:26 |
| fenn | paul birch says 250kg ?? | 21:27 |
| docl | really? that's tiny compared to what I was thinking | 21:27 |
| fenn | oh maybe it's 3 Mg | 21:28 |
| fenn | aka 3 tonne | 21:28 |
| docl | I figure 100x the cable mass is likely to be the minimum ring mass (although that could be an overestimate) | 21:31 |
| docl | so the ISS (400 tons) might actually mass more than a minimal sized ORS that's been optimized to hell. | 21:32 |
| fenn | ISS was pretty expensive | 21:36 |
| fenn | a minimum tether system can be launched on one rocket | 21:37 |
| fenn | and it can bootstrap | 21:37 |
| fenn | of course i'd rather there be no such thing as a minimum | 21:37 |
| docl | is there any upper limit on how much mass you can boost with rotating tethers? | 21:42 |
| fenn | presumably things get complicated when you start approaching a fraction of the planetary mass, but otherwise no | 21:45 |
| fenn | the main limitations are orbital velocity and the specific strength of materials required to balance out that velocity | 21:46 |
| fenn | you can cheat a bit by boosting the payload to supersonic speed | 21:47 |
| fenn | also there are two-stage tethers but i have a hard time imagining that | 21:47 |
| fenn | a rotating tether on the end of a rotating tether | 21:47 |
| docl | hmm. not sure this makes a practical difference, but I'm thinking you would probably utilize more cable mass per unit mass boosted per second, since the cable mass spends the bulk of its orbital period away from the earth's surface. | 21:47 |
| fenn | you'd balance out shipments of cable mass and solar panel mass | 21:48 |
| fenn | er, pick your poison | 21:48 |
| fenn | cable mass scales linearly with payload mass | 21:49 |
| fenn | solar panel mass scales linearly with launch rate | 21:49 |
| fenn | an orbit is like 20 minutes and it would take at least a few days to re-boost | 21:50 |
| docl | with the orbital ring, your ballistic mass can be mostly slag (at the large scale), which can be really cheap to make. cable is probably going to be more expensive. so bootstrapping may be slower. | 21:50 |
| fenn | i dont care about large scale mega-engineering really | 21:51 |
| fenn | that stuff will be determined by politics | 21:52 |
| fenn | i just want a launch system | 21:52 |
| fenn | you can add mass to tethers if you just want more kinetic energy storage | 21:53 |
| fenn | like the counterweight in a beanstalk | 21:53 |
| docl | true. but the tether spends a big chunk of its time not ferrying stuff to orbit, right? | 21:54 |
| fenn | right | 21:54 |
| docl | can mx-tethers realistically grab stuff from the surface? or is a space plane or something like that needed? | 21:54 |
| fenn | on earth not really any time soon | 21:54 |
| fenn | something like spaceshiptwo would be fine though | 21:55 |
| fenn | the big problem is punching down through the atmosphere at mach 10 or so | 21:55 |
| fenn | without vaporizing the cable | 21:55 |
| Malvolio | (see also #space) | 21:56 |
| docl | so that is a possible advantage of an orbital ring system based elevator | 21:57 |
| docl | would mx-tether work with a high altitude balloon platform? | 22:00 |

| fenn | do the orbital ring skyhooks start out in orbit? | 22:05 |
| docl | I think so, at least that's how I always pictured it. you'd have the skyhook slow itself down by mass-driving the ballast to go a little faster. | 22:11 |
