ABSTRACT:
A facility for conditioning people for transition between different gravitational environments. The facility comprises a static cylindrical vessel and a revolving cylindrical habitat within the vessel. Within the revolving habitat are supported a number of habitation levels formed or derived from concave-up circular paraboloids, each shaped and sized so as to produce local net acceleration vectors orthogonal to its upper surface. On any one such surface, the local net acceleration magnitudes within a certain band of radii from the axis of revolution of the habitat will approximate that of the native acceleration present in a particular environment, such as Mars or the Earth. Living areas may be constructed on these surfaces, particularly within the target zones. Access to the habitation levels is provided by a central elevator shaft and system. The habitat is supported hydraulically and caused to revolve by hydromechanical swirling applied at its bottom surface. The preferred embodiments are designed for installation either on or below the surface of a planetary body.
