"Don't tell Bob, but some of the interconnecting support members are quasi-superconducting and can handle enormous amounts of energy if necessary."

One of the reasons I posted warnings about venturing into the elevator ways without proper protective gear is because they were designed to function cold. In space, that can be very cold, and superconductivity is more easily accomplished.

Of course, with our well-distributed nuclear power generation, it isn't normally necessary to disburse large amounts of power, except for the occasional possibility of an errant meteroid heading our way that might need a little laser-enhanced course correction.

Hi Everyone.

Can anyone tell if we are allowed to bring food on an airplane if the food is purchased in the secure area of the airport?

Energizing a large portion of the superstructure allows you to reach some rather substantial energy potentials though. Focused properly, we can act as a huge magnet, either attractive or repulsive (no entendre meant, double or otherwise), or we can dump columbs of raw -e into a locus for our very own trailer-park version of a "superlaser". Not really a "laser" per se, more like a particle beam weapon like that one they recently tested against a test missile at Los Alamos.

I was thinking we could use it for mineral extraction of some of the smaller asteroids. Save the spider bots some work time...
