If my struggle here with bushfire solution is not enough ,
my next task is to convince Elon's SpaceX , Roscosmos and Chinese counterpart to my solar LP disk.


beyondnerva.com/2020/01/29/transport-and-energy-module/?fbclid=IwAR3IstuDzdT4dhkP79X6yJLooLCHpu0dxJYkmsNaFZmWHifCr852XAx3rOg

At this point in time our best hope for near Earth and interplanetary transport is with nuclear power.
This is next step above chemical propulsion rockets.

But what I propose is huge LP vinyl disk like in space, covered by ultra thin solar cells.
Instead of complicated and expensive nuclear machinery that require another 20 years to mature my idea is simple.

Huge diameter disk , spinning for structural strength and stabilisation, made of graphene and covered with ultra thin , highest efficiency solar cells.
What is important in space - energy/ power to mass ratio.
Unlike nuclear 150 w/kg our spinning disk will have energy density measured in kw per kg with almost no additional electronics and complication required.
Solar cells arranged in series in vacuum space environment will supply very high voltage required to power ion engines without the need for complicated DC-DC converters.
Now I could seat and wait which company government will do first step in right direction.
My personal space craft is powered by antimatter but for humans here and now that presented solar should boost space conquer instantly.

People here may ask why I do ever bother to post similar idea on SB forum,Answer is simple.
Whole idea once explained is so obvious, ingeniously simple, not worth mention.But our wold is constructed in such way the first to come is going to patent technology, get a royalties profit and slow down implementation by rising cost and compliance.By publishing idea on public forums , idea becomes public domain/ property, unpatentable, available free to everybody interested. Last thing I wish to see is one smart ass, patenting:" ultra thin solar cell layer spinning disk technology in outer space"
This time IP ( intellectual property rights ) may flow the other way. Chinese by implementing as a first similar to mine concept could require royalties on solar disc technology from western world.Capturing trillions dollars worth business for nearest future.

Solar panel exist in space for decades already. I would be worry more about micro meteorites and space junk that could affect this dynamic system- but that details we need to leave to experts, make some tests and experiments.There are some unknown that can not be even theoretically predicted. Like a behavior of thin spinning disk in micro gravity. Slightest vibration , harmonics , micro holes by meteorites. But that can be resolved only onsite by scrupulous experiments in space one day.Alternatively to spinning disk I proposed inflated balloon like structure covered with thin solar layer where low gas pressure provide structural stability- but the same may apply- micro meteorites making holes and gas leak.

See we have space travel all wrong
to change time we have to change gravity, gravity will affect time.
I propose the way the "aliens " travel and utilise mercury motors, in a space vacuum they would be unstoppable and only limited by friction of bearings within, you could go the magnet route so once it starts spinning there is no need for friction/ bearings

The biggest problem with mercury motors is to keep them a) pressurised b) cold very cold....
on earth this is super hard and expensive and likely to create mercury vapour and a highly explosive atmosphere.
in space where it is -270 and a vacuum it is the perfect scenario for a mercury motor to operate.
closest thing to perpetual motion we have ever invented and further never utilised in space travel...as yet .... by humans.....

A mercury motor will also create a gravity field and hence therefore change time within the field, time is relative and speeding it up or slowing it down would in essence create a "time ripple" which could allow in future a travel distance of a light year in equivalent to one earth day or less...
I have said too much
I haven't said enough

You seem to be mistaken that your ideas are "good" and posting an image of Elon Musk does not change that.

Practically what you suggest if only people with bad ideas can shut up, then remain only those with good ideas ( or world remain totally silent) .

But there is also another option for you to consider.
If you disregard those posting/sending "wrong ideas" and read those sending good or even great.Then instead of constant critics you keep sending will be fanfare of congratulations.Do quick search Formula what Chris have discover or have on offer and send greetings immediately.

I think the implied thing from Elon's comment about looking for negative feedback is that you should actually listen to it, evaluate it, and not just gloss over it. I guess you are missing that very important difference.

Anyone can come up with ideas, even great ideas, and I am sure some of them have come from unlikely sources, but to invent 'great' ideas and then pretend they are viable without any checking is just silly.

I am sure I could have 'invented' heaps of things, but without any actual details, it means nothing.

This is not to stop you inventing things, but so far you have not really been good at backing your ideas with anything solid.

This is fantastic! Everybody can but not you.
Why ?, How is that happen that you wasted whole your life and didn't come with your own single idea? You are standing on the edge of grave, old man and not a single moment of greatness in whole life? Just miserable denayals , typical grumpy , spitting around , all that you done, to be printed on your tombstone."Here lay person that did nothing useful in his whole life!"

Book visit to your GP today and ask if any pills invented already for Type 2 Mentality Attitude Disability.
If you like me to invent something I could try to cook some concoction: garlic, grinded earth worm, left leg of tod frog , 100 ml of your own urine, pinch of dog poo.
Close eyes , drink quickly and tell if help to your attitude disorder. If cant drink the stuff, get suppositoria.

Sadly this great topic about whole humanity achievements in space conquer suddenly is hijacked for single person personal gain.How dare you Formula!

Anybody else have something to say about rocket science ? or we should jump directly to next topic like BFC: fish lure preparation, bbq mud crabs seasoning, dog poo removal etc.

I've come up with heaps of ideas but am not arrogant enough to post them without any basic fact or sanity checking.
Just because people don't post crazy ideas doesn't mean they don't have them... just that they have learned to filter the crazy.

On a space voyage I would much rather be someone that understands how things work and can engineer around a problem than someone that just buys things from ebay and plugs them together. You can't afford to do much testing out there, and your negative comments aren't going to annoy you, they are going to kill you.

Get yourself USB stick fully loaded of pornhub for the trip to the Moon, Formula. There isn't fiber internet yet drawn to the Moon from Earth , You may miss a lot of your favorite serials.Once on the Moon you know where to may plug in the USB stick, Formula.BTW this 2021 Moon mission is intended as a cargo only trip, some biological experiments allowed. Don't be nasty to rovers and robots, behave well with rats and labolary mice. Don't eat experimental salat grown on regolith ( we will organize this salat bring back to Earth for testing, but you are staying on the Moon) . bye, have a nice trip Formula. ( if you insist I may fit Chris somewhere too on this rocket. We could reprogram this then scientific experiment - who eat who first ? Mouse ,rat, salat, chris , formula. ?

Meet your new friend , Formula.

Theoretically you are not far away from truth. Don't need even to be big, just spin fast .
I mean really, really fast. Bravo Saltiest. You just invented device that could propel future space ship not only on interplanetary but inter solar trip. Not joking. Theory is already there.
Just small technical issue to resolve but your idea works and we can prove it already.

You should feel ashamed Formula,
Here is Saltiest that seat and in 5 minutes invented device that galactic Aliens could kill for ( to learn about) .
I am serious.
You could walk to any reasonable smart physicist/student too and ask if device works as intended.
Fast Spinning Disk. That is it.
Device works on 2 stages.
1.Confirmation for the first could deliver any GR educated physicist or students accostamised with Einstein works.
2. But the real surprise comes from QM world. You will not find many of those , no more then few people in whole world that may have the slightest idea what I am talking about ( one is just died - S.H.) What is hidden beneath on QM level> So I will not go this path too far with public publisher. ( Aliens may listen ! )
Saltiest invented and Federation built it ( will built exactly)

Yeah but the kicker is the outer parts of the disk will travel in a different time than its centre after exponential acceleration is achieved in a frictionless environment with unlimited energy generation.

Right I told you, some technical issue must be resolved, but in general concept works as intended BTW. I know what you worry about now,. took me whole 30 s to get it right. No worries, We are going to bend the space -time that will neglect mentioned effect. Your suspicion will be correct if spacetime remain non effected by device itself , but it is.

Macro when was your trip? Did you notice any side effects?

If you worry about long space voyage ask Saltiest for help. His ship design seem to be awfully quick. I am impressed by results.
I have got some improvement ( as usual).
You could post me negative feedback and then everything may works ( as Elon required) .
Here it is:
Salties was a bit worry about peripheral time distortion.
Here is my resolution of the problem presented:
This is a moment when GR ends and QM kick in. We will utilize Casimir like effect (interaction with virtual particles) . But not in perpendicular but along disc plane ! While angular disc velocity reach given level our forces do emerge along this axis! Easy like that!
As a prove of concept serve this captured photo of Federation Space Ship. As we could see propelling forces are generated in the plane of disc not across !


What do you think Formula? Ready to jump in onto our ship? Garantie to save a lot of time.

then
You may have a chance to die as a Hero, in the case Alien rebels attack.

( I am not very good at weapons design, I am pacifist)
So the the best way to save the skin will be escape, using Saltiest hyper speed advantage.

Smart tip for you, Formula. Unknown to enemy this specifically space ship design allow for instant acceleration along any direction within the disc plane ! Simply speaking can run not only forward but , backwards or sideways at the same speed/acceleration !! ( amazing, even this documentary movie makers didn't know that! )

I was thinking that if the outer layer wasn't there as it was in a different time, then the disk would accelerate until the next layer did the same and so on.

Indeed , you are right.
I didn't think about this yet. In this relativistic device one thing ( parts of our disc) could be in different places at the same time different time same place or something like that.
Things getting even more complicated to imagine once we realise that in this angular motion (not linear but spinning) consecutive layers of our disc remain in different time zones already, then we interposition linear motion of the vehicle - craft.
In ordinary vehicle it may make no difference but once approaching relativistic speeds something is going to distort terribly( from external observer not passenger point of view) .
It is quite possible that your concept vehicle could serve both purposes- moving by space or time,
Eventually that is the same thing.
In such case gravitational component will serve us as propulsion, then relativistic effect to manipulate time needed for travel. In practice our space ship will be free falling, passenger feel zero gravity while accelerating, time will bent , c limit cracks.
You are ingenious, Salty!
In lay man translation ( done by me not Google, Formula) it means that Saltiest craft could theoretically travel not only long distances quickly but also comfortably. It means that could travel to nearest star quicker than light without braking any law of physic,just bending them a bit. At the same time passenger will not feel a bit of terrible acceleration that force Tesla S model driver accelerating from zero to 100km in two seconds to vomit.
In practice it means that Salty Enterprise space craft could cross galaxy quicker then Elon's SpaceX rocket need to reach Mars.

Hey Japie.
I did watch the lot,
and have now to say only. I could not agree....
more.
The guy is right.
But that truth hurts and most on people couldn't stand it. Even if he( others like him) succeed in Venus project somewhere , all the rest of the world will conspire to build the biggest atom bomb ever and wipe utopian society of the Earth ( or Mars) surface.
We have as small test here on SB.
One can not stand a fact that others had some ideas on another nothing at all.
Lets look how the world works , right now.
If USA is loosing on all fronts right now: education, access to social services, manufacturing, public safety, food production, energy sector against China, Sweden, Brasil Russia even Australia and NZ - their main goal is not to improve himself, increase competitiveness, restore balance- but rather sanction competition overseas, bomb nations to the dust, spray viruses over, corrupt elite politician at any nation to corroborate, or just turn others against each other. To ruin competition, not to rise over it.
Even if AI from Franchesqui utopian world come to fruition- they will be used not to create and magege perfect society but subdue existing one and most likely ensure control of the few over the rest.
As a test of concept we could look at Israel.
Country/nation by design.
They should/ could achieve everything having unlimited financial resources, very smart people indeed and hard working. Somehow serve as a failed state example- maybe due to not only internal matters but external brainless opposition.
But the biggest test of Francesco ideas is coming.
Elon Musk is going to build new society on the Mars. Beside technical aspect , how to get people there ( which seems to be relatively easy problem to resolve) we don't have the slightest idea How Elon Martians is going to organize themselves ?! If Elon becomes a King or what level of democracy is planned? What currency they will use? How soon Earth forces will attempt to bomb Martian bunkers forcing them to protect themselves in return? How to force people to work?

If we eliminate money , everything is available for free. How to force people to work or do something useful at all?
Well , maybe work as a privilege not obligation? If anything , everything could be done by machines , why not to create situation where doing something more or less prosaic will be desirable variety for bored citizens? If you allow somebody to swipe to footpath? In clean city there is very limited amount of dust , rubbish, empty bottles on the street.
This precious activity may not be available for everybody and for a long.
Want to cut a tree or dig a trench with shovel? Need a special permit and work can be awarded for good behaviour only.Love firefighting in the place where nothing is burning spontaneously? Prison guard or policeman job ?
In this perfect society you may watch movies or play endlessly video games for free, But to do something for real will be hard to get your hands on.
