Space Colony Project

[beantown]

Hey I was just wondering if anyone could help me. I have a space colony project which requires to build a colony on mars. My question is how to create artificial gravity cuz that is 1 of the requirements. I was thinking if my colony was shaped like a donut and there was a giant spinning wheel in the middle there would be enough centripetal force to give artificial gravity to my colony. Also, if please dont give me any ideas that require the colony to be in orbit around mars; I want the colony to actually be on the surface.

Thanks in advance:D

Ummm... Mars has its own gravity, so I don't know why you would want artificial gravity.

I know but it doesn't have enough gravity

somebody please help me this project's due on monday

beantown; you best bet would be to google *terraforming* and go from there. that is the idea which could make any planet or moon habitable for the human.

 

if your talking short term colonies, then what gravity that is would do for some periods of times. this would not require terraforming either. domed or underground facilities would work, for say scientific exploration.

 

if your gravity idea is centrifugal force, the idea has been dropped. for actual or accepted gravity increase you would need to add mass.

 

the assignment suggest a desire for a novel idea to create gravity, which you would have to make up.
