  • Orbit Insertion Device
    Publication number: 20240025570
    Abstract: The invention is an implementation of the space elevator wherein an inflatable tube is held up by the force of wind rushing through it from surface to height, in the manner of the ‘inflatable dancer’ used for advertisments. Since the device is neither in tension nor compression, the materials requirements are relaxed. The force of the internal air steam against the interior wall of the tube keeps it from falling, and thus the extreme and practically unattainable requirements of other designs are avoided.
