EXPANDABLE GRAVITY CHAMBER FOR A HABITATION MODULE THAT IS HOUSED IN AN INFLATABLE SHELL
A habitation module with a gravity chamber that provides an artificial gravity environment. In one embodiment, the gravity chamber includes an inner cylindrical structure, outer wall segments that are attachable to one another to form an outer cylindrical wall, and opposing side walls having support members that are extendable. The gravity chamber has a first diameter when the support members are contracted, and has a larger second diameter when the support members are extended. The gravity chamber connects to the habitation module with rotating attachment members so that the gravity chamber rotates about an axis. The habitation module also includes an inflatable shell that encompasses the gravity chamber.
GRAVITY CHAMBER FOR A HABITATION MODULE THAT ROTATES ON SUPPORT BEARINGS
A habitation module with a gravity chamber that provides an artificial gravity environment. In one embodiment, the gravity chamber is annular and includes an outer cylindrical wall, an inner cylindrical structure, and opposing side walls that connect the outer cylindrical wall and the inner cylindrical structure. The gravity chamber attaches to a cylindrical core member of the habitation module with support bearings. The support bearing includes an inner race attached to the cylindrical core member, and an outer race attached to the gravity chamber. A drive mechanism drives the outer race of the support bearing to rotate the gravity chamber about an axis to simulate a gravitational force within the gravity chamber.
GRAVITY CHAMBER THAT ROTATES ON SUPPORT BEARINGS MOUNTED ON AN INNER SURFACE OF A HULL OF A HABITATION MODULE
A habitation module with a gravity chamber that provides an artificial gravity environment. In one embodiment, the gravity chamber includes an outer cylindrical wall and opposing side walls.

CENTRIPETAL AERODYNAMIC PLATFORM SPACECRAFT
An aerodynamic platform or spacecraft including a habitable 1G centripetal force rotating gravity producing interior corridor within an aerodynamic shell and an aerodynamic drone booster launch system with reentry and reuse capability.
Method to generate a localized gravitational field and gravity
A method of generating a localized gravitational field and gravity in the vicinity of a block of frozen hydrogen that has been polarized with respect to the composite proton and gluon spin. This is a practical application of the theory that polarized gluon spin generates an enhanced excitation of the gluon field in the vicinity of the block of frozen hydrogen which in turn causes a dilation of the particulate space of loop quantum gravity and concurrent dilation of time which becomes gravity.
HYPERGRAVITY SYSTEM
Hypergravity system comprising a mechanical shaft connected to at least one central motor configured to cause rotational movement to the mechanical shaft, at least one connecting arm connected to the mechanical shaft, at least one housing chamber, and wherein each housing chamber is connected to a connecting arm by means of a hinged connection, wherein the hinged connection is configured so that, during rotation of the mechanical shaft, the housing chambers move radially outwards wherein the connecting arm comprises at least one object passage configured to enable the entry and/or exit of objects into the housing chamber by the connecting arm.
Systems and methods for providing a hybrid gravity environment
The present disclosure provides an apparatus comprising a first outer ring module and a second outer ring module configured to produce artificial gravity environments when revolved about a rotational axis. At least one circumferential access tube may connect the first and second outer ring modules.
