Creating an Inertial Dampener
kerbiloid replied to SeventhArchitect's topic in Science & Spaceflight
In form of plasmafrogs or froglets. -
Congrootulations! It's a really groot and nice day.
-
10/10 Only a human can be a cardinal. Even a bishop. I don't have leaves and roots. So I'm more a human than a groot.

Don't confuse groots with yets. Groots don't like it, the yets are renegades.

(Just a note: that's VASIMR)

Creating an Inertial Dampener
kerbiloid replied to SeventhArchitect's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Magnets-scmagnets won't work themselves because a magnet receives the inertia, so it shouldn't be a part of the ship. Once the particles of your ship get accelerated, something should be accelerated in the opposite direction to keep total energy and impulse unchanged. You could only mask the inertia but not eliminate it. 1. A hyperspace tunnel to, say, Earth. Keep staying on ground while accelerating at light years away. Obviously could work only for direct acceleration, no side maneuvers, no deceleration. Could be enough for the intergalactic projectiles against the Andromedians. Wouldn't let the crew feel safe under >1 g anyway as the ship is not accelerated as a whole. First engines, then all other, so the bodies will be pressed against the walls as usually. 2. Make a hole to another space and shove your nozzles to there. Let them sniff the exhaust while you are accelerating. Wouldn't let the crew feel safe under >1 g anyway as the ship is not accelerated as a whole. First engines, then all other, so the bodies will be pressed against the walls as usually. 3. Have some "entangled" or "connected through a hyperspace tunnel" counter-mass (not necessary of same mass, it can be a single particle or the whole Universe except your ship, depending on design) to accelerate it back. You fly in one direction, it flies in the opposite. Play with your wave function and make an improbability drive to suddenly reappear in the desired direction. Let the counter-mass reappear in the opposite one to keep the conservation laws happy. If you hit some ancient and wise civilisation with the recoil, that's their problems, they should care about their safety long ago because they are were ancient and wise. So, in any case the inertia killing hiding is a subtopic of teleportation and improbability drive. -

For Questions That Don't Merit Their Own Thread
kerbiloid replied to Skyler4856's topic in Science & Spaceflight
(Without refraction-schmefraction and so on, roughly:) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon HorizonDistance = sqrt(Altitude * (2 PlanetRadius + Altitude)) ~= sqrt(2 * Altitude * PlanetRadius) A standing human = sqrt(2 * 1.5 * 6.37*106) ~= 4.4 km. Observer and target: Distance = sqrt(2 * TargetAltitude * PlanetRadius) + sqrt(2 * ObserverAltitude * PlanetRadius) = sqrt(2 * PlanetRadius) * (sqrt(ObserverAltitude) + sqrt(TargetAltitude)) -
Banned for growing instant coffee right in the plastic (or foil) bags.

Banned for zooming an unselected signature.

And that's how the wisdom teeth can help with their proper recognition.

Yes, agroot.

Wasn't there a poisoned stiletto 2mm thick? -
Hit! Grootality.

Banned because he is literally same poster, not other. Also GRS is banned for not reading my signature before banning.

Here is your fried side of Don Quixote with a big number nine drawn with ketchup. Waiter! Please some soup from the Don Quixote's horse.

It happens in KSPI-E mod. Its engines have dynamic ISP and thrust, so you can vary this choosing what you want.
