Possible Material Outcomes of Solar Power Revolution
Mikhail V. Shubov
Energy production plays a primary role in industrial capacity and thus material standard of living of any civilization. The Industrial Revolution was engendered by a vast growth of…
Guided Self Replicating Factory for Colonization of Solar System
Mikhail V. Shubov
In this work we present the concept of guided self-replicating factory (GSFR). This factory would be established as a colony on the Moon, Mercury, Mars, or Asteroid Belt. GSFR woul…
Feasibility Study For Hydrogen Producing Colony on Mars
Mikhail Shubov
A technologically mature colony on Mars can produce and deliver at least 1 million tons of liquid hydrogen per year to one or more propellant depots at Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Produ…
Feasibility Study For Multiply Reusable Space Launch System
Mikhail Shubov
A novel concept of orbital launch system in which all stages are reusable is presented. The first two stages called Midpoint Delivery System (MPDS) deliver the next stages to a mid…
Drone Launched Short Range Rockets
Mikhail Shubov
A concept of drone launched short range rockets (DLSRR) is presented. A drone or an aircraft rises DLSRR to a release altitude of up to 20 . At the release altitude, the drone…
History of Prime Movers and Future Implications
Mikhail Shubov
Motive and electrical energy has played a crucial role in human civilization. Since Ancient times, motive energy played a primary role in agricultural and industrial production as…
Ramjet Acceleration of Microscopic Black Holes Within Stellar Material
Mikhail Shubov
In this work we present a case that Microscopic Black Holes (MBH) of mass to experience acceleration as they move within stellar material at low…
Gas Core Reactors for Deep Space Propulsion
Mikhail Shubov
The operation of a nuclear power station powering Deep Space transport is presented in the paper. The power station consists of a Gas Core Reactor (GCR) with magnetohydrodynamic (M…
Energy Balance Within Thermonuclear Reactors
Mikhail Shubov
Thermonuclear reactors hold a great promise for the future of Humankind. Within Tokamak and Stellarator reactors, plasma is confined by twisted magnetic fields. Reactors which prod…
