you Can move the Solar system with engine Kaplan?
Is it Possible to build a star engine — a giant device to move our if we for some reason have to move to another area of the Universe? Such an unusual question to ask an astrophysicist Matthew Kaplan of the University of Illinois — author of scientific articles published in the journal Acta Astronautica. Unique and fantastic engine Kaplan is able to use the Sun's energy in order to move the star through the galaxy and even beyond. Is it possible to create engine Kaplan in real life and if Yes, exactly how it may be able to move ?
Can I move the Sun?
The Ground was incredibly lucky to be in the place where it is — by incredible coincidence, our Solar system is located in a relatively quiet area of the milky way, where very seldom dangerous outbreak where rarely explode in a supernova and there is a particularly large black holes. However, as we know, is constantly changing, and what seemed a stable and secure today, suddenly finds himself under the threat of a collision with a massive asteroid, comet shower or a consequence of the supernova explosion.
As the portal , the engine of Kaplan needs to be located relatively close to the Sun in order to be able to use the solar wind for the collection of hydrogen and helium to be used as a virtually inexhaustible fuel.
Kaplan Engine running due to the use of solar wind energy, will be able to move the Solar system at vast distances.
Using solar wind would result in two jets of energy, one of which would work on helium, and hydrogen. Interacting with each other within a fusion reactor, educated powerful jet would be moving the device forward, acting as a kind of tugboat.
Since the presence of only the solar wind will not cover all the necessary fuel costs, future scholars will need to create a certain similarity , which would concentrate solar light for even better energy production, necessary for the construction of colossal structures. As the offset of the Sun, planets of our solar system would move it without any breach in their orbits, so that mankind would not be necessary to move the objects individually.
However, it is worth noting that the idea of moving Solar system is not new and was first proposed by the Soviet scientist Leonid Mikhailovich Shadowym, who in his works explored the possibility of creating a heavy-duty motor, with whose help we could move the Solar system 100 light years for 230 million years. Whatever it was proposed by Matthew Kaplan, the engine could overcome the same distance in just 2 million years.
It is Unknown whether our descendants the desire and the need to change the location of the Sun and surrounding planets. As you consider whether you want humanity to engage in such grandiose projects, and for what? Share your opinion in .
