Artificial Gravity Generating Machine
2Planetary scientist, Harry Coumnas has invented
an artificial gravity generating machine that may
help alleviate weightlessness in space.
Astronauts routinely experience linear
acceleration due to force of rocket engine, which
adversely affect their health. Through his
invention, Harry wants to make space exploration
easier for them.

4Harry Coumnas says Artificial gravity is a
sustained normal force provided by a rigid
structure in a uniform circular motion. On the
other hand, the real gravitational force of Earth
pulls everything at its center, your skin and
skeleton, everything you are standing on or
holding. And in turn everything is held up by
buoyant force, which all works to keep everything
from zipping down to the center.
5Certain space missions have attempted to produce
artificial gravity. They were able to generate
small amount of gravity by firing their side
thrusters to rotate slowly. The resultant force
was too less for the astronauts, but certain
objects were seen moving towards the floor.

7Harry Coumnas also explains that a spacecraft
under constant acceleration in a straight line
would give the impression of gravity in the
opposite direction. But certain chemical reaction
rockets can temporarily provide enough
acceleration to overcome Earths gravity and
provide linear acceleration to imitate Earths
gravitational force.
8But such acceleration is temporary and a lot of
rocket fuel is required to create it. Harrys
graviy generating machine is a solution for this
problem
