re: (1696) Black Globes and Gravity

Adrian Hunt points out how a Black globe can be used for making energy...


Well, I think that by the rules of black globes that would be impossible,
You head down, turn on the globe, and continue to head down.  No manuevering
possible.  Lets see you suck a planet into the black globe.

Unless you head down, turn back up for a little to get upward acceleration,
and then turn it on, ignoring gravity and then float up....

Interesting. Actually, is the energy absorbed by the globe enough to power
the ship out of downward acceleration, or not.  If it is then your plan would
seem to work.  But then again, it is no more a perpetual motion device than
a hydro-electric power plant.

I think that it is a neat way of making energy, but still not comparable to
other methods.

How much energy, would it gain in the balck globe from gravity, light, heat,
etc.  I thought that most of that was ignored as negligible.  Is it?


Well, there's just my thoughts on it.
