Q&A

Is this version of a gravity generator feasible?

+0
−0

I want to create to create a ship that does NOT rely on rotational gravity to have a constant downward force on everything. The people built a g-force generator that does NOT induce gravity, just a force.

So, can a gravity generator that uses energy to accelerate objects towards the generator work?

If there is a 100 joules of energy that supplied to the generator, it could accelerate a 1 kg object down under 1 $m/s^2$ for 200 seconds. This situation does not regard efficiency or the mass of the generator itself for simplicity. The mathematics are based on energy, mass, and velocity ($E = 1/2 \cdot M \cdot V^2$).

Remember, this would be in the void of space. Would this be possible under real physics or would I have to implement a fifth force for this to happen? If it can happen, could it have an inverse square relationship with distance like real gravity?

It can work in any way possible if there is one, but the generator has to work regardless of acceleration of the generator itself. For example, the generator works whether it has a total acceleration of 0 $m/s^2$ or 100,000 $m/s^2$. It can work combined with other generators or actual gravitational pulls.
