The CGC “Cosmic Galactic Cruiser” has two rotating rings:

1. The outer ring “Enterprise“, with a radius of 60 meters and a fixed rotation speed of 3.86 RPM to generate Earth-like gravity (1g)

2. The inner ring “Challenger“, with a radius of 30 meters. The rotation speed can be adjusted to simulate gravity on different celestial bodies, within a range of 0g – 5g.

To get the gravitational force you desire, you can calculate the rotation speed for the variably rotating inner ring “Challenger” of the CGC with a fixed radius of 30 meters by entering the desired g Value down below.

Now let’s get serious:

The following interactive script down below  is designed for the CGC featuring two rotating rings that simulate gravity through centrifugal force. The script allows users to dynamically control and visualize the simulated gravitational force within each ring, offering an immersive experience in understanding artificial gravity in space travel.

Features:

• Adjustable Rotation Speed: Users can input desired rotations per minute (RPM) or gravitational force (g-force) for each ring, enabling the simulation of varying levels of gravity, from the weightlessness of space to the gravity experienced on Earth or other celestial bodies.
• Celestial Body Selection: A dropdown menu allows users to select a celestial body, automatically adjusting the inner ring’s g-force to match the selected body’s gravity, ranging from the moon’s lighter pull to the heavier gravity of planets like Earth or Mars.
• Synchronization: A “Synchronize” button adjusts the inner ring to half the gravitational force of the outer ring, ensuring both rings simulate gravity in harmony, with the outer ring consistently simulating 1g (Earth gravity) and the inner ring 0.5g.
• Simultaneous Control: “Start All” and “Stop All” buttons provide users with the ability to simultaneously start or stop the rotation of both rings, facilitating a seamless transition between different gravitational simulations.
• Interactive Visualization: As users adjust the settings, the corresponding rotations of the rings are visually represented in real-time, enhancing the understanding of how rotational speed correlates with gravitational force.

Educational Value:

This script serves as an educational tool to explore the concept of artificial gravity in space habitats. By adjusting the rotation speed and observing the simulated gravity, users can gain insights into the challenges and solutions for human habitation in space, making the CGC script not just a demonstration of technology but also a bridge to deeper understanding of physics and space exploration.
