Space Elevators
First elevator: 20 ton capacity (13 ton payload)
Constructed with existing or near-term technology

Challenges
• Induced Currents: milliwatts and not a problem• Induced oscillations: 7 hour natural frequency
couples poorly with moon and sun, active damp- ing with anchor
• Radiation: carbon fiber composites good for 1000(?) years in Earth orbit (LDEF)
• Malfunctioning climbers: up to 3000 km reel in the cable, above 2600 km send up an empty climber to retrieve the first
• Lightning, wind, clouds: avoid through proper anchor location selection
• Meteors: ribbon design allows for 200 year probability-based life
• Damaged or severed ribbons: collatoral damage is minimal due to mass and distribution

Anchor
Anchor station is a mobile, ocean-going platform identical to ones used in oil drilling
Anchor is located in eastern equatorial pacific, weather and mobility are primary factors

CNT for Electronics
• Carrier transport is 1-D.• All chemical bonds are
satisfied CNT Electronics not bound to use SiO2 as an insulator.
• High mechanical and thermal stability and resistance to electromigration Current densities up to 109 A/cm2 can be sustained.
• Diameter controlled by chemistry, not fabrication.• Both active devices and interconnects can be made
from semiconducting and metallic nanotubes.
