I wonder if the human race would ever considered space travel and colonizing planets possible if we didn't have a moon just sitting out there within our grasp?

@TwoBs Жыл бұрын

If we didn’t have a moon, I don’t think you and I would be sitting here as we are now. It has contributed so much to our life here with the way it has went hand in hand with our own planet with lunar tides, slowing down the spinning (which basically curbs strong winds and storms along with giving us a vital amount of daily sunlight for photosynthesis compared to the estimated 6hr days we’d have without it), likely more asteroid impacts on Earth with no moon to pull them to its gravitational field, our own gravitational bubble would be nonexistent, plate tectonics would basically be null (which has helped shape our terrain), and even precious metals that we use in our every day life even rely on our moon. It’s but a small rock in the sky to gaze at to many, but if it wasn’t there, we couldn’t even be able to sit and fantasize or imagine how life would be without it because life would be significantly altered intelligence-wise.

I remember reading an SF novel describing a mission to the Moon's pole, and those electric charges where a BIG problem for the explorers. They had a problem with the visor of their suits not getting the same charge as the dust around them and getting covered with dust, blinding them. It got worse when they realized that the dusting pads they have would generate a positive charge on the visor.

I also understood that a massive issue is the physical properties of lunar regolith itself. At the microscopic level it has very sharp and tiny edges, that wore into the Apollo suits...when examined upon return to Earth, it was calculated that that suit technology was beginning to fail on the longer missions, and that a suits usefulness was to be counted in days, not even weeks. This is one reason I am very sceptical about a Mars colony, or even mission, in our lifetimes.

I think, and I might be wrong it was a while ago, they’re looking at a way to counter that by giving the suits surfaces negative electrical charge relative to the regolith to reduce the effect.

You don't want it to be purely conductive, though. You do want electricity to discharge through the suit but you still need to prevent it from discharging through the wearer. As such, an outer conductive layer over an insulated inner layer would be closer to an ideal setup.

Yeah, a layer of a few atoms of Aluminium or Gold would help for the shock hazard, but would it also help against the Regolith sticking to any surface?

Electrons bounce around and create heat, as well as mechanical friction. What I picture is an AC power generator where the superconductors use quantum levitation so they never physically touch anything as they spin through the coils to generate the electricity. If all the circuits were also superconductive, the heat generation should be near zero. In say a no gravity environment (not the moon obviously), they should spin for a real long time with minimal energy put into the system to maintain the spin of the generator. At least on paper...

the issue isn't just getting electrocuted tho, it's the charge sticking to suits and picking up the toxic/abrasive regolith. if the suit is so mediocre that it can't protect its wearer from 100kV... then what about cosmic rays and 200+C temps? in the end, those issues are still less of a problem than tracking regolith into living areas, imo. even if you only pick up 1 grain per trip per person, the grains will eventually accumulate within the habitat and contaminate it. the solution has to be a very complete one, that can make sure any leftover grains after discharging the suits can be 100% vacuumed up somehow. the electric charges on the moon is an issue mainly because these charges could make the regolith harder to manage.

The accumulation of static charge is like winning the lottery. Placing a large surface area antenna 1 or 2 km above the surface to collect the protons, and running a wire to a web of closely spaced copper wires placed over the permanently dark side of the crater will generate an electric current, which could be used to power machinery, lasers, etc.. As a very small bonus, the combination of protons and electrons will generate Hydrogen in very small amounts. The electrostatic potential difference, if held in check, could be released in bursts, into a pellet of He3-H2, creating fusion, and a huge amount of energy. Even without fusion, the use of the solar wind to generate energy will give Moon inhabitants an energy source that will last 1 billion years. It could also be used in low Earth orbit.

2:26 If my math is correct, 600 billion kg of water ice when transformed into liquid water amounts to a cube with sides of about 8434 meters. Water ice however is about 9% less dense than liquid water. so that would mean one huge ice cube with sides of about 8680 meters (I think, not sure)

Napkin math: 600 billion kg = 8434m, 600 million kg = 843m, 600,000 kg = 84m, 600 kg = 8.4m, 600g = 84cm? Looks like you got the decimal point wrong (at least if 1 billion means 1000 million).

2:30 C'mon Alex... visualising water mass by comparison with cars? Seriously? What about "600 billion kilograms of ice [provided billion means 10^9 in this case] are equivalent to 600 million cubic meters, or 240 million Olympic swimming pools, or one twelfth of Loch Ness (without Nessy)"? ;) 7:00 That's interesting. Usually, Teflon™ and other perfluorinated materials tend to a negative electrostatic charge themselves. So actually I'd expect that negatively charged particles are repelled and not attracted. Polyamides, e.g. Kevlar™, tend to a positive electrostatic charge, and might thus act attractive rather than repellent. Maybe mixing those materials would help.

@@jessepollard7132 I'll have to rewatch the video to see if the 247° temperature given for the permanently shaded areas were in Celsius. Celsius for 0°K is 273°. Iirc, iron is around 230°C; the manmade copper compounds, which aren't probably there, is around 140°C. That efficiency combined with solar cells to generate power for a permanent moon laboratory would be useful. However, being able to use the idea may not be worth it; it could go in a whole different direction such as transmitting power by microwaves. But.. I'm digressing.

Or better yet, why not make use of the FREE energy and turn it into power to charge batteries? If batteries are full, then extra energy could be simply turned into heat or light, just have powerful heater or lights on the suit, so when batteries are full, rest of it is just spent on lights or heater.
