ORBITAL RING BLOG
Interested in going down the rabbit hole with many of the design concepts, findings, science and math assumptions highlighted in the book? Then this blog section is the right starting point for you to engage in some thought-provoking exploration of astronomy’s shocking twists!
Enjoy the posts below, and don’t forget to support the project by getting your own copy of the “Orbital Ring Engineering” book, available in hard cover, paperback, and Amazon Kindle formats.
Powering the Orbital Ring
Perovskites are redefining solar power and superconductivity. In the future they could be powering an orbital ring, and feed energy to Earth.
Perovskites and Type II Superconductors
Perovskites are often mentioned in scientific papers related to the topics of high-efficiency solar cells, coloured LEDs, fluorescent dyes.
