Harrison gyroscopes-stabilized free standing towers and missile defense systems

Abstract

Gyroscopes-stabilized free standing towers and missile defense systems are described that can support and contain surveillance radar, communication systems including electronic coordination systems and defensive weapon systems against cruise missiles, ICBMS, manned and unmanned aircraft, as well as other illegal penetration of USA borders. The current invention shall provide the lowest cost option for positioning systems where look-down surveillance, look-over-the-natural-horizon surveillance, look-up surveillance and high electrical power requirements are a major consideration and are a military requirement. Additionally, high electrical power generating capacity is included in this Invention.

1 . Very tall towers that are 1000 feet tall to 500,000 feet tall, and higher, that contain large heavy gyroscopes every 100 feet of tower height that weigh 10,000 pounds to 24,000 pounds, or even heavier, to balance and stabilize the towers, thus negating the need to use cables or other structures to provide balance and stability for the towers, the system comprising: 
 (a) the towers shall contain and support multiple surveillance radar equipments, multiple radar antennas, both military or commercial communications equipments, defense coordination equipments and defensive weapon systems to defend the USA and USA allies against cruise missiles, ICBM's, manned or unmanned aircraft, as well as to defend against all hostile, harmful, unlawful or unwanted violations of USA borders;    (b) the use of clear or other structural members (such as Lucite, steel, carbon composite fiber or other materials) suitable to contain, or support, photoelectric power panels for the purpose of generating significant electric power;    (c) the use of wind power electric generators attached every 50 feet of tower height, either more or less, on the high free-standing towers for generating significant electric power; and    (d) the use of special pressurized elevators to construct, service and maintain the high 1000 feet high to 500,000 feet high, and higher, free-standing military, communication, commercial and power generation towers.    
   
   
       2 . The use of the current invention as a primary source for generating electric power which is both non-polluting to the environment and renewable; such electricity shall be herein afterwards referred to as green electric power; green electric power generation does not pollute the air, the earth, or any other aspect of our environment, as does electricity generated using such fuels as petroleum, coal, natural gas, nuclear fuel and all other such non-renewable fuels that shall eventually be depleted, the system comprising; 
 (a) wind power electrical power generators placed every 50 feet or more of tower height; and    (b) photoelectric power panels inside of, or attached to, the tower structural legs.    
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 2 , at heights of 50,000 feet to 100,000 feet or higher, generating the equivalent of the electric power generated by a conventional power plant fueled by coal, petroleum, natural gas or nuclear fuel and at an estimated cost of 25% to 10% of the cost of generating electricity using conventional fuels.  
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 2  further using green electric power to aerate the streams, rivers, bays and virtually all other waterways, which are now dangerously polluted, are actually expiring, and are technically and literally in the process of becoming barren of underwater life, due primarily to the lack of dissolved oxygen, caused by human pollution from storm water run-off, Improperly designed and improperly managed waste water treatment plants, and the improper and excessive use of chemical fertilizer needed to produce food for humans.  
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 2  further using the wide-spread generation and use of this green electric power to reduce the USA's existing dependency upon foreign oil sources.  
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 2 , if cost-shared with  claim 1 , would further reduce the cost of green electric power, and thus would escalate the importance of  claim 2 's feature of the gyroscopes-stabilized free- standing towers.
