  • Publication number: 20240097527
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to generation of a semi-coherent gravitational wave beam and related apparatus, systems, and methods, such as for at least gravitational wave communication. In one or more embodiments, a gravitational wave generator includes a generator frame, and a first rotatable mass mounted to the generator frame. The first rotatable mass is rotatable about a generator axis and rotatable relative to the generator frame to generate one or more gravitational waves. The gravitational wave generator includes one or more wave guide stages that include two or more guide assemblies. The two or more guide assemblies each include a guide frame, and a second rotatable mass mounted to the guide frame. The second rotatable mass is rotatable about a guide axis and rotatable relative to the guide frame to at least partially focus the one or more gravitational waves into one or more collimated beams.

  • Publication number: 20240097798
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods, systems, and apparatus for wireless gravitational wave communication. In one or more embodiments, a method of wireless gravitational wave communication includes generating one or more gravitational wave signals at a first site. The generating of the one or more gravitational wave signals includes rotating and/or angularly accelerating one or more rotatable masses at a plurality of states. The method includes transmitting the one or more gravitational wave signals to a receiver in a wireless manner, and receiving the one or more gravitational wave signals at a second site using the receiver. The method includes determining (such as by decoding) information from the one or more gravitational wave signals.
