Sling-on-a-Ring: Structure for an elevator to LEO
Andrew Meulenberg, Timothy Poston
Various proposed space elevators may bypass the financial and environmental limits on rocket technology, but all have their own problems. A Low-Earth-Orbit, LEO, rotovator-based sp…
A LEO-Based Solar-Shade System to Mitigate Global Warming
Rahul Suresh, Andrew Meulenberg
The development of a Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) based solar-shade system, as part of a technically- and financially-viable multipurpose system to provide long-term solutions to global w…
Leo-Based Optical/Microwave Terrestrial Communications
Andrew Meulenberg, Rahul Suresh, Shivram Ramanathan
We propose a LEO-based communication system that is built by deploying circum-terra, optic fibers connecting hundreds of small (perhaps) phased-array-communications and RF-signal-t…
The Leo Archipelago: A System of Earth-Rings for Communications, Mass-Transport to Space, Solar Power, and Control of Global Warming
Andrew Meulenberg, Karthik Balaji
A multi-purpose low-earth-orbit system of rings circling the earth - the "LEO ARCHIPELAGO" - is proposed as a means of solving or bypassing many major problems hindering man's ques…
Spectral selectivity from resonant-coupling in microgap-TPV
A. Meulenberg, K. P. Sinha
Near-field energy coupling between two surfaces may arise from frustrated total-internal-reflectance and from atomic dipole-dipole interaction. Such an exchange of energy, if at re…
Radiative-field quantum-coupling between closely-spaced surfaces
K. P. Sinha, A. Meulenberg
A quantum-mechanical formulation of energy transfer between closely-spaced surfaces is given. Coupling between the two surfaces arises from the atomic dipole-dipole interaction inv…
