| Vibration power in the stiff tether itself (2013 IAA study) can provide 20+ megawatts of power to resonant wheels connected by adaptive motors, which can lift 14 tonnes of payload off the surface at up to 140 meters per second. | brief abstract: Vibration power in the stiff tether itself (2013 IAA study) can provide 20+ megawatts of power to resonant wheels driving electronically-switched adaptive motors, which can lift 14 tonnes of payload off the surface at up to 140 meters per second. |

| Combining the best of the space elevator with old and new launch loop developments. Surface logistics like the space elevator. A 70 km Kevlar tether to a surface-powered electromechanical 11 km/s launcher, then a 5 hour trajectory to a rotating Kevlar capture tether in geosynchronous orbit. 320 tonnes per day with a minimum 500 MW power supply, 9600 tonnes per day with a 6 GW power supply, which can be provided by space power satellites. Can be built with off-the-shelf materials. | brief abstract: Combining the best of the space elevator with old and new launch loop developments. Surface logistics like the space elevator.

Abstracts for SE2107
Work in progress, waiting for the submission system to be set up. I will keep updating the abstracts, and add papers and illustrations as they are written.

Some 2-weeks-outdated work here.

Uses VASIMR electric rocket engines and some atmospheric argon propellant to add angular momentum at GEO.
