A system of pulleys along a long carbon nanotube structure that reachs into space. There is a common misconception that there is not gravity in space, however this is not the case. Classified as microgravity it is still possible for basically anything that functions normally on earth to function normally in the microgravity of space.

Is it true that scientists are planning to build a space elevator that will connect the Earth to the Moon?

Currently, there are no plans to build a space elevator that will connect Earth to the Moon. The idea of a space elevator is still in the conceptual stage and involves many technical challenges that need to be addressed before it can become a reality. Connecting Earth and the Moon with a space elevator would require advancements in materials science, engineering, and space technology that are currently beyond our capabilities.


How fast does the space needle's elevator go?

The Space Needle's elevator travels at a speed of 10 miles per hour, taking visitors to the observation deck in around 41 seconds.


How would a Lunar Elevator actually work?

Answer 1It wouldn't, because the Moon isn't in geostationary orbit. The "cable" would get all wrapped around the equator.Answer 2For an actual description of a space elevator (which is a scientifically viable concept) please see the Related Links below.The Lunar Elevator would go from the surface of the moon to a specific point in space where the gravity and centrifugal forces are equal. There would be an Earth elevator that does similarly and then a much easier trip would be had in the vacuum of space between the two "drop-off" points. Most fuel used currently to get from Earth to the moon is to break out of Earth's atmosphere and to slow the descent to the moon (and vice versa)


2 ways to get to the moon?

Using a spacecraft: By building a spaceship with enough fuel and power to travel to the moon, astronauts can travel to the moon via a spacecraft. Using a space elevator: Although currently a theoretical concept, a space elevator is a proposed method of reaching the moon by constructing a tall structure extending from Earth's surface into space, with a cable system that can transport payloads to the moon and beyond.


Why do optical telescope work better in space?

In space, there is no interference by Earth's atmosphere.

What is a space elevator and how does it work?

Space elevator refers to a type of space transportation system which is proposed by many scientists and inventors. Its main component is a ribbon-like cable also called "tether" which is anchored to the surface and extending into the space.


How much work does gravity do on the elevator?

Gravity does work on the elevator when it moves up or down, but the amount of work done depends on the distance the elevator travels and the weight of the elevator and its occupants.

Is an elevator a linear object?

An elevator is not considered a linear object in mathematics. A linear object would usually refer to a one-dimensional space or a straight line, whereas an elevator operates in a three-dimensional space moving vertically.

How do you get up the elevator in thing thing 1?

press the space bar and you will enter the elevator. Once you get in you have to eliminate others inside, then you get out.


What is the main component of a space elevator?

The main component of a space elevator is a long, strong cable made of a material like carbon nanotubes or graphene. This cable is anchored to the Earth's surface and extends into space, allowing for transportation of payloads to and from space without the need for rockets.


Is there work done on a person ascending an elevator?

No work is done on a person ascending an elevator as the force is in the same direction as the displacement, resulting in zero work done by the force moving the person.


What are disadvantages of elevator?

A disadvantage of an elevator is the inconvenience when it does not work. People get dependent on an elevator and find it very hard to take the stairs during a breakdown even if they are physically capable of using stairs.
