Space elevator is theoretical tether reaching geostationary orbit, lowering launch costs to space by avoiding rockets.

단계별 가이드

  1. 1Input Earth parameters, cable material properties (strength/density)
  2. 2Calculate tension distribution along cable
  3. 3Verify feasibility

풀어진 예시

입력
Carbon nanotube cable (theoretical)
결과
Height ~36,000 km, tension manageable with current materials marginally
Material science limitation

피해야 할 일반적인 실수

  • Neglecting material weight effect
  • Ignoring atmospheric drag at lower altitudes

자주 묻는 질문

Why hasn't anyone built one?

No material simultaneously strong enough and light enough; requires ~100× current material performance.
