Because the centrifugal acceleration required to get orbital speeds will crush most satellites at any practicable radius.

[@cogoid]

It is a very creative approach, to be sure. But rocket structures have to be as lightweight as possible, otherwise you cannot accelerate them to orbital velocity. Making a lightweight rocket structure that can *also* withstand 100000 tons of centrifugal force squishing it sideways is a very non-obvious thing. Plus, because this rocket is so small, to remain competitive, it can only cost a small fraction of the cost of a bigger conventional rocket. Taken together, these things are already super-hard to achieve, not even mentioning the challenge of constructing the 2 km/s slingshot itself. It will be pretty amazing to watch this project, no matter where it goes!

At 5000mph they basically are going to have a hypersonic vehicle traveling through surface air densities.

[@J7Handle]

Ok, so keep in mind conservation of momentum. With the radius of the spinner as R, the projectile will travel 2pi*R distance from release in the same time as it takes the spinner to make one full rotation after release. Because of conservation of momentum, the projectile will keep rotating (tumbling in this case) at the same angular velocity as the spinner at release. That means that after traveling just pi*R/2 distance, the projectile will have rotated through 90 degrees to be completely sideways. And since it probably won’t have exited the vacuum chamber by then, it won’t have had any aerodynamic forces to help stabilize by then. Although this tumbling is a real problem, the demonstrator seemed to fly mostly straight, so I wonder if you have a secret method to cancel out the rotation on release.

[@pkillor]

I am a layman but maybe internally they use some gyroscopes to stabilize the trajectory.

[@cogoid]

_"the projectile will keep rotating (tumbling in this case) at the same angular velocity as the spinner at release."_ This is true only in the case when there are no forces acting on the projectile and changing its angular momentum during the release. But if the release mechanism is engineered to apply a torque which cancels the angular velocity of the projectile, then the rocket will not be tumbling anymore.

[@J7Handle]

@@cogoid Yeah, I figured, but that's still canceling out 450 rpm in a fraction of a second.

[@cogoid]

@@J7Handle Which would be a tremendous jolt in everyday life. But we are talking about a projectile under 10000g acceleration in a centrifuge. All it takes is to release the nose of the rocket before the tail is released. The delay is on the order of (length of the rocket)/(its velocity), times a coefficient on the order of unity, the exact value of which depends on the details of mass distribution of the projectile and on where the attachment points are. So, for a 5 meter long rocket going at 2 km/s, the nose will be released about 2 ms before the tail. The tether continuing to pull on the tail after the nose is released, in these 2 ms imparts the 450 rpm of angular velocity and zeros the angular velocity of the projectile.

[@Nonamelol.]

@@cogoid That “apply a Torque” would completely obliterate the projectile. It’s impossible to cancel out 450 rpm in a fraction of a second without causing some damage. If what you’re saying is the case and it causes no damage to the rocket then I’m very eager to enlighten myself on the technology they’re using.

Exactly, that was my first thought. Just after it has flown one radius away from the centrifuge it'll be 90 degrees out of line with the flight direction.

I think I see how they rebalance the arm so quickly after releasing the payload and vehicle. The trick is to get it to seek its own equilibrium where the forces are balanced and it seems it can do that by sliding in and out from the center of rotation along that slot down its center. Interesting to think about the problem a little more and figure out what all it would take to make it do that.

[@ronaldchong]

interesting idea. so after the launch, they could slide the arm to effectively lengthen the projectile arm. I don't think this could happen passively tho; would need motors to change the fulcrum point? how quickly could this be done? bigger issue though is having enough room to lengthen so the projectile end doesn't crash into the walls.

[@MentalEdge]

@@ronaldchong The RE video that just came out has such an interesting solution. Put a launch vehicle at both ends, and launch both in quick succession, one half rotation apart throwing them both in the same direction into space. At the RPMs of this system, only releasing something on the other side at the SAME time could be faster.

The moment I saw picture of it, wrote it off because of the centrifugal force, all other things aside. A 500kg satellite would weight 10,188 tons @ 853rpm. Force = m v^2 / r ... satellite mass: 500kg ... radius: 25m ... tangential velocity: 2235.2 m/s ... angular velocity = 853.8rpm ... force 99,922,381 newtons ... centrifugal acceleration: 199,845m/s^2 ... earth gravity is 9.807 m/s^2. So we got 20377x the gravity of earth exerted on the satellite. Meaning a 500kg satellite would weight 10,188 tons at the end of the arm/claw that will holding the satellite before release. How did these guys manage to build this thing, this far, without looking at the basics of math? How did every single one of them miss this?

[@OtoGodfrey]

The fabric that separates the vacuum from atmosphere (and rocket punches through) is pretty sci-fi too.. where sea floor atmo pressure is 10.3 tons/square meter and we got an circular opening of ~2.4 diameter that the fabric covers. So we got 4.52m^2 x 10.3 tons = That is some cool fabric that can handle 46 tones of pressure but the rocket still can punch through! Just sell the fabric, get super rich!

The hardest part will be making any payload survive the centrifugal force, to get a payload accelerated to Mach 6 using a 300ft diameter system will generate over 9000g (not grams) on the payload before the rocket accelerate to >Mach 23. The rocket that can withstand the most g force was the Sprint missile, at ~100g. Realistically the system will need to be build at the size of 2~5km to launch electronics. I do believe these systems will be extremely cost effective to transport material between planets in the future.

[@cogoid]

It may seem counter-intuitive, but making electronics to survive 10000 g's is probably the easiest part of this project. Even vacuum tube based proximity fuses built in 1940s could withstand such accelerations. It is a well-understood problem, and for small satellites it should not cause any issues. If designed for high accelerations from the beginning, they will be only slightly heavier and slightly more expensive. The rest of this plan is much, much more difficult to implement.

Food, water, entertainment. So now there is a space elevator to build on the moon to also carry resources from a lunar orbit from a geostationary orbit around the moon.

Just straight up Buck Rogers bad ass.🚀

if you can build Big, you can literally do anything. Free Power Energy is the future. This will be enconomically sound pretty soon

[@BrianWilliamDoty]

Wow, you gotta see this. Yea uses the Linear accelerator concept coupled with a spin launch concept system to launch payloads using just Electricity energy. Wait until the electric bill. It's not that bad. It's efficient. And, it could be made autonomous.

This is the perfect angle. I have a mini crossbow, the dark goes the farthest exactly at this angle.

AMazing!!!!!

[@jb-ji6vd]

Incredible handle on physics. Congrats!

[@NoMoreMrNiceGuy223]

I wonder to what millisecond accuracy the release mechanism needs to be. Fascinating concept. How many G's does the cargo need to endure.

[@007stopjockin]

I read that the payload needs to endure 10,000 Gs. That is a crazy amount of destructive forces that the internal, and external components need to survive and resist deformation from such forces. With a normal chemical thermal combustion launch, these forces come on gradually, and don't max out anywhere near that amount of Gs. Interesting and outside of the box concept, that's for sure! A trebuchet from hell LoL 😆 space launcher!!! 007

This is just the smart person doing what we all thought we were doing as kids on park merry-go-rounds

[@antoniobanderas1158]

The military is going to love this, if they already haven't start testing with it.

[@siamsamadprantik9543]

It's amazing. Go ahead spinlaunch

This is simply amazing

This would definitely work 🖤

[@TechMalaya]

nice concept.

[@mbunds]

I felt pretty stupid after passing off "SpinLaunch" as another snake oil project, but was sternly corrected after the math revealed that they're on to something. I can't imagine the tensile stresses on the launch arm for their orbital unit!

[@nehorlavazapalka]

What math? They can't use traditional LOX/RP fuel and the dry weight of the rocket will need to be at least 2× that of a normal one. Any gain added by the yeet will be eaten up by the substandard fuel/rocket mass.

[@StetsonWade]

this is frikin awesome

[@johnnyb2799]

Freaking Cool video and concept!

[@frustratedbaboon6486]

So this concept is supposed to eliminate what? Fuel consumption? How much energy is used in spinning it to that rpm?

[@dustinmeeks1751]

Great video. Talk about incredible engineering to build liquid fueled rockets capable of very high side-load g-forces.
