DEVICE FOR SIMULATION gravity tractor when dealing with asteroid threat

摘要

The device is designed to simulate the conditions of space in learning management spacecraft - a gravitational tractor. The device is used for a better understanding of the gravity of the tractor for educational purposes. An apparatus for simulating gravitational tractor in combating asteroid danger characterized in that it contains 1 - steel ball simulating asteroid 2 - circular trough 4 - puck (moving base) on which the laser range finder 3, the solar battery, the control unit and the constant magnets in the three holes 5 - axis movable part and simultaneously the motor rotor 6 - pin, through which the wires from the control unit 7 - pin, through which the wires from the command buttons located in the handle, 8 - the handle for setting an initial position and providing a manual mode simulation, 9 - support washer and the motor stator, the gravitational forces are simulated by magnetic forces, the movable part driven by a motor which is controlled so that the distance between the steel ball (asteroid) and permanent magnet was two- three centimeters. 1 bp f ly-2 Fig.
