Hello and welcome to Gadgets of the Future. I'm Coco and today I will be talking about artificial
spk_0
gravity. If you have any comments or questions please click the link in the description.

In today's episode of Gadgets of the Future we will be talking about artificial gravity.
spk_0
First things first there are many ways artificial gravity can be used in the present.
spk_0
Ways like going to space and being able to colonize planets or being able to travel far into the
spk_0
galaxy with Earth like gravity. These ways can help with the conservation of the human race.
spk_0
Out of today there are no known ways to make artificial gravity without rotation or acceleration.
spk_0
According to Angie Bukley William H. Pelowski and Gil's Clement in section 1.2.3 in physics of
spk_0
artificial gravity. If we look again to science fiction we often see spacecraft in which artificial
spk_0
gravity or the cancellation of gravity is clearly present. Yet the spacecraft is nearly either
spk_0
rotating or nor accelerating. Current magnetic technologies have not yet developed to the point
spk_0
that such an artificial gravity system can be graded in this way. The quote helps us understand
spk_0
why artificial gravity can be difficult to make and take a while to develop the technology to make it.
spk_0
If we look at current technology that is similar to this the way they are making this Earth like
spk_0
gravity is from an inertial force that is indistinguishable from the gravity that we feel on Earth.
spk_0
In the article physics of artificial gravity we can see in section 1.1 that is states.
spk_0
One should understand that artificial gravity is not gravity at all. Rather is the inertia force
spk_0
that is indistinguishable from normal gravity experience on Earth in terms of its action on any mass.
spk_0
This quote can only apply when there is an object that is accelerating or rotating due to the fact
spk_0
that there is no current technology that can make artificial gravity without these two things.
spk_0
If you can make an artificial gravity source without acceleration or an rotation
spk_0
that could greatly help in the ability for humans to call on us Mars in other planets.
spk_0
There are a few things to know about the history of artificial gravity. First things first,
spk_0
there are no non-devices that are able to produce gravity except for massive stuff.
spk_0
We are only able to make similar types of force that feel like gravity but are not the real thing.
spk_0
This is seen in the article by Angie Bukley, Willie Mage Polowski and Gilles Clement when they
spk_0
state. No verified technique currently exists to produce gravity apart from it mass itself.
spk_0
Even though there has been many claims over the years that such a device has been developed and
spk_0
exists. This quote gives a look at how there is no possible way to create gravity without some
spk_0
sort of object with all of the mass. Since creating masses impossible due to the law of conservation
spk_0
of mass there is no possible way we can be able to make real gravity. Only others and other source
spk_0
with the similar feel.
spk_0
Our artificial gravity can help with the law of things if we were able to use it on a spacecraft.
spk_0
We could give passengers an earth-like gravity. According to International Rose Map for
spk_0
Artificial Gravity Research by Gilles Clement, she states, since our artificial gravity can
spk_0
reproduce Earth-like gravity, it could be used to simultaneously mitigate the effects of macro gravity
spk_0
on all physiological systems. Artificial gravity can be generated by continuously rotating the entire
spk_0
spacecraft or part of the spacecraft or by means of an on-mode short radius centrifuge that
spk_0
the crew members can use intermittently. This statement shows how with the right technology we can
spk_0
create usable sources of artificial gravity suitable for humans to live in. There are many challenges
spk_0
for making artificial gravity work but if all these challenges are overcome it will be possible to
spk_0
make an artificial gravity source and make it be successful.
spk_0
Throughout this podcast we went over the examples and ways we can make artificial gravity,
spk_0
the history of artificial gravity and ways that we can use artificial gravity in the challenges of
spk_0
making it. This will wrap up the end of this podcast. If you have any comments or questions please
