I understand. But, In order for the vacuum to occur the water has to leave the tube. So if you place one tube end ten feet above the other and both ends are imersed in the water then the water should flow from one open end to the other open end instead of just emptying out both ends at the same time. It should flow from the higher elevated tube end to the lower one.
If the pipeline only weighs 1000 tons you could get it all there in about 12 shuttle launches.
Can you burn a combination of these elements to get C???
I would think eons of solar wind material has collected on all of these asteroids and the carbon content should be about what the moons is.
How much C is in the Solar wind?
It is for real and that is why it will work for the pipeline to space.
The point is the technogly is currently here to get a spacestation to Geo. since we already have Geo. orbiting satellites.
Can we lower a small one from the ISS if it was in a geo. orbit?
Well, the hyper X plane will be 100 times cheaper. Per pound.
Can you shoot it up in a particle beam?
Surely carbon is not that expensive??
How about a tube wall thickness of .333 and an inside tube diameter of 1/4 inch??
Don't know the math. I just know they say the material is strong enough. How thick does it have to be? How about the same thickness as the Stainless Steel tubing? How much pressure would that withstand? If it is alot then you don't need as many pumps???? Also, I am ERRORIST and am visiting my sister in Fla now.
I used to be a control room operator at a fossil power plant in Florida for FP&L.
How about Nitrogen? Inert Gas.
The frictional loss can be compensated with higher discharge pressures between pumps.We did an experiment at work one day. We used Stainless Steel tubing 1/4 inch with a hydraulic hand held pump and tested the bursting pressure of the tubing. We pumped it up to over 22,000 pounds per square inch before it bursted. That wall thickness was less than 1/16 inch. If we had used 1 inch tubing it would have bursted much sooner.
But the question is if the total area of horizontal cross section of the walls is less then 1/cm^2. Otherwise you pipe/cable will cost trillions to build.
The pressure from one pump to the next pump should be constant. The smaller the dimater the better because you can get away with a thinner wall thickness tube.
Calculate how think the walls would have to be for a 1/4" pipe made of carbon nanotubes supporting 90 bars of pressure.
I would think alot thinner than a pipeline with a larger diameter.
Lets figure out the pipeline first then we can go to Eros????
Yep, a 1/4" pipeline????? 1/4 INCH
Hey so what is wrong with a 1/4 diameter Nanotube pipeline to space?
