Q&A

Accelerating artificial gravity station using solar wind

+0
−0

In the question Wind turbines in space

The user asks about using solar wind to rotate turbine like things in order to get energy. Most answers say that using them to get energy would not work because you would need to have a counter rotating turbine and it would be useless, but what if you used the solar wind in that way to accelerate a space station that created artificial gravity using centrifugal force? (I mean using solar wind from the initial acceleration up until the correct speed.) Would this be in any way more efficient that just simply strapping a few rockets onto it?
