Retractable Kinetic Towers Against Rocket Launch

A Deployable Active Device to Monitor and React to Threats at Borders

Abstract

As an alternative to drones, a deployable active tower technology which appears to be an Indian rope trick, can suddenly place at height – the equivalent of a multi-kilometer tall tower with far fewer vulnerabilities than a static tower. This is one application of Bolonkin’s Anti-Gravitator, a method and devices that provides a repulsive (repel, push, opposed to gravitation) force between given bodies. The basic concept is that a strong, heavy cable is projected upwards using a motorized wheel on the ground. The upward momentum of the cable is transferred to the apparatus by means of a pulley/roller mechanism, which sends the cable back down to the motor. The momentum transferred from the cable to the apparatus produces a push force which can suspend the apparatus in the air or lift it. There is an equal and opposite force on the motorized wheel on the ground. This device is called a kinetic (mechanical) anti-gravitator  (kinetic repulsator or repellor) because gravitation attracts any two bodies, whereas the offered device repels any two bodies. With correct linkage one heavier stage can support the mechanism while another lighter stage reaches sideways like an arm to extend a tool to do a task.

Such a tower is useful for communications, surveillance and strike (including rocket launch and cannon firing for extended range at altitude) and can be suddenly retracted and relocated. The fire kites of Gaza and other less lethal threats can be promptly detected and targeted in seconds at ignition before they ever cross the border. Similarly, rockets in boost phase of trajectory can be detonated from a distance of a few kilometers of a rocket launch. In addition, using this technology soldiers can “leap frog”  to locations needed quickly and the “long arm” can extract those who pose a danger without endangering border control police or soldiers. Especially at night this would terrify those targeted.
