Space Elevator Extrusion Construction Method
A method of constructing an elevator core structure for a space elevator tower. The actively stabilized space elevator tower is a pneumatically pressurized structure formed from flexible sheet material. This construction method comprises extruding core segments from a liquid core material. Pods containing control and stabilization machinery are embedded in the core segments as they are extruded, and raised. Fiber can be embedded in the elevator core structure to increase elasticity. There are also options to provide the control and stabilization machinery on a base, and to raise the pods with a roller system and pneumatics. The freestanding tower can be used for launch activities, tourism, observation, energy generation, scientific research, and communications.
