| Feb 10, 2022 at 20:48 | comment | added | John O | @LiveInAmbeR Whatever the handwavium for your artificial gravity happens to be, we can say two things about it according to your requirements: It needs to be possible to configure it so that it is not symmetrical (temporarily) and it needs to follow some other curve than inverse square. The first is necessary so that you can turn it off/down for some small sector of the sphere... that's where you launch shuttles from. Probably can't zero it, but some large dropoff. And if you do 1G gravity in the main deck, you don't want some appreciable G anything more than about 100m above that. | |
| Feb 10, 2022 at 20:27 | comment | added | Goodies | I've put an edit stating these "factors" as factual conditions, without additional question, the opening is only explanation now. Hope this solves the focus issue. @LiveinambeR if you don't like the edit, please undo it.. | |

| Feb 10, 2022 at 20:13 | comment | added | Goodies | VTR and I replaced the science based tag to salvage this. I don't agree with the closure. Yes, If you put a magnifying glass on the opening text, there are multiple components to the question, put as "factors", but the title states only one question! I've put an answer to the title question, which is, without parentheses: how does the ship's artificial gravity affect the ship itself, supposed there is no centrifugal force? | |

Needs more focus | |

| Feb 9, 2022 at 22:21 | comment | added | AlexP | I have this daemon of which I will tell you nothing except that it imparts on random objects an acceleration similar to Earth's gravitational acceleration. I won't tell you if it obeys an inverse law, an inverse square law, an inverse cube law or, truly, if it extends constant to infiinity and beyond. Now, although I have this nifty device imparting an acceleration on random objects, I don't really want it to do so, and I am asking how to have my device not impart an acceleration on a random subset of objects. And then I will ask you what color is ice cream in the range of this device. | |
| Feb 9, 2022 at 22:19 | comment | added | Mon | The other 2 points? Why does it have to have an exhaust (apart from heat) if it uses a gravity drive for propulsion. It wouldn't need a rocket engine except on approach to a planet, station or ship for orbital insertion/docking when the main drive would have to be off. Point 3? As long as the main drive is off during shuttle launch/docking the ships internal field shouldn't be a problem because you've already stated the internal G field is <1. As long as the shuttles engines generate >1G of thrust they can 'escape' the local G field using their onboard engines. Or just turn it off briefly. | |
| Feb 9, 2022 at 22:00 | comment | added | KerrAvon2055 | Does the artificial gravity force reduce with distance the same way that real gravity does (ie inverse square relationship)? | |
| Feb 9, 2022 at 21:57 | comment | added | Mon | Point one. Why does the ship have to spin at all if it has a device on board that generates an artificial gravitational field sufficient to provide 'near Earth' comfort levels for the crew? | |
