I was reading a recent thread and found that most of you guys think that because Halo isn’t spinning, centrifugal force is not at work on Halo. This thread will prove that wrong. Halo is spinning. It is possible to create the necessary force through nearly imperceptible rotation and still maintain Earth-like pseudo-gravitiational force observed on Halo.
Assuming ONLY CENTRIFUGAL FORCE.
Radius of Halo: 5,000,000 Meters=R
Earths Gravity: 9.8 Meters per second per second=G
Velocity of ring around center=V
√(G*R)=V
√(9.8*5,000,000)=V=7,000
Everything on Halo is moving at 7,000 meters per second around Halo’s center.
π*Diameter= Circumference
π*10,000,000 meters = 31,415,927 Meters around Halo
C/V=Time taken for Halo to make one rotation=T
T=4487.98 seconds = 1 hour 14 minuets 48 seconds for one full rotation.
Can you actually see that minute hand turning without looking really closely? No. Halo’s rotation is nearly imperceptible while still maintaining the effect of gravity on earth.
If you find any errors, post them.
