Graphene Disk Space-Time Distorter


4] Very thin circular disks made of a Graphene-Carbon Nanotube-Graphene "sandwhich", with disks made of Graphene as the "bread" and radially arranged Carbon Nanotubes as the "meat", glued together with Carbon-Carbon bonds.

Along their direction of extension, the tensile strength of a Carbon Nanotube is so high that they could theoretically be used to make a Beanstock (space elevator). The tensile strength of Graphene ain't too shabby either. Bottom line here is that you could make a disk having an insanely high tensile strength along its radius - so it could be spun at incredibly high speed without flying apart.

The mass of the disk could be made radially asymmetric by adding more carbon layers to the Graphene "bread" along different intervals along the radius of the disk - or any other pattern that strikes your fancy...

Then make another one and put some Buckeyballs between the two disks to make them spin in opposite directions (they could act as little gears) - repeat as necessary to stack those rapidly counter-rotating disks-pairs has high as you want... should effect the space-time-continuum in technologically useful ways...

Graphene-Ply Tires

An automobile tire having a Graphene-ply in the side-wall - it could use the "sidewall flex-wave" (which is always at the same position relative to the car body as the car rolls down the road) to serve as the "armature" (or maybe the "field coil") of an electropseudomagnetic motor, could give the Tesla Roadster a run for it's money - and when implemented in conjunction with a hypercubical power source, you could have a car that could not only win the Grand Prix by at least a lap but it would not need fueling OR charging for the life of the car...


Note: One of the engineering challenges here is that the "sidewall flex wave" is located just above the surface of the road. However, given a pseudomagnetic field-strength of over 300 Tesla, attenuation due to distance may prove to be a good thing.

Hypercubical Power Source

Hypercube speaker with the enclosure made of Graphene stretched over a wire-frame rhombic dodecahedron - bet the back-wave would bend the Graphene, generating an enormously strong (300+ Tesla!) pseudomagnetic field that would interact with the electrons in a coil conveniently placed around it in a manner quite out of proportion, in terms of pure output POWER (Voltage X Current) to the power input to the voice-coil of the driver - kick-start that rig with a nine-volt battery (or a solar cell, heh, heh, heh...)hooked up to a signal generator chip set to produce 60Hz sine waves through an op-amp connected with the driver's voice-coil and one just might find one’s self with a seriously over-unity device on one’s hands… ;~))

Note: It may be possible that we only need a narrow Graphene ribbon (much less expensive) stretched over a "gap" in the five untruncated pyramidal corners of a wooden enclosure, positioned at the 60Hz "resonance plane" location in the pyramid, and have five coils positioned around those gaps (like "halos" around the pyramidal corners) to generate a LOT of 60Hz AC through interaction with the 60Hz high-intensity pseudomagnetic field produced by the sonic deformation of the Graphene ribbons stretched across the gaps. A little bit of the electrical power thus generated would be fed back into the signal generator/op-amp rig - and the rest of it, the lion's share by a wide margin, would be available for... Other uses.

A real nice gimmie here is all you have to do to make this play well with others in Europe and other regions is to simply tune the signal-generator chip to 50 Hz...

And - you could make them really small, too - in fact, the most profound  engineering challenge may be keeping the pseudomagnetic field-strength low enough to avoid vaporizing the gap-coils...
