Shoot, that don't look any fancier than the drawin' my cousin Cletus done drew up of an electric space pinwheel that he claims abducted him and his pal Walter.
Personally, I think they were just drunk.

Wow. Nearly 1 and 3/4 miles in diameter. If we start building it today we might have it done by the time I'm ready to retire.

One thing though. You don't need lift in outer space.

I've met PM writer, Jim Wilson. I'm surprised that he would waste his time and reputation on this junk science. PM has gone down hill since I read it as a kid. PopSci was always a bit more serious and informative anyway.

Anyone have any idea what kind of acceleration this thing could generate?
