Description

Technical Field

[0003]

[0001] First, the ozone layer existing in the stratosphere protects the earth's surface by absorbing "harmful ultraviolet rays" from the sun. From now on, by eliminating metal products from the outer walls of wooden space rockets and artificial satellites and replacing them all with wooden materials, it will be possible to protect the destruction of the ozone layer, enabling humans and other organisms on Earth to survive for a long time. Second, since no metal is used in the outer wall material, by using a special drying technique for the wood of the outer wall material, in which the cell membranes of the wood are not destroyed at all, and by completely eliminating 100% of the water from all the cells of the wooden material (that is, setting the moisture content to 0%), a completely fireproof state can be achieved during all operations in space from the time of rocket launch. Third, the cells of the outer walls of space rockets and artificial satellites do not crack, and in space, all wooden parts are maintained as "strengthened wood". Fourth, if the cells of the outer wall materials of space rockets and artificial satellites are not destroyed at all and always enter the ozone layer while maintaining a "moisture content of 0%", in the ozone layer, the wooden material will only burn harmlessly, and the destruction of the ozone layer itself will be avoided. Therefore, it is the world's first and latest technology that enables humans on Earth and all organisms to "protect the ecosystem".

Background Art

[0002] According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States published in 2023, it was announced that the amounts of lithium, aluminum, copper, and lead from the re-entry of space rockets into the stratosphere far exceeded the amounts found in natural space debris. And it was found that about 10% of the sulfuric acid particles, which account for more than half of the particles in the stratosphere, contained metals from the outer walls of space rockets, including aluminum. Given the fact that many metal outer wall space rockets and artificial satellites are launched around the world, today, the problem of ozone layer destruction caused by metallic space rockets and artificial satellites has become the most important issue as a global environmental problem.

[0003] When metal-walled space rockets and satellites re-enter the ozone layer, the compressed ozone molecules collide violently with each other, generating intense heat. These metals within the ozone layer collide with the metal walls of the space rockets and satellites, causing them to evaporate violently and become metallic particles, leading to ozone depletion. These metals have been identified as aluminum, copper, lead, and lithium, which were used as components in the metal-walled rockets and satellites. While this is only a situation in some parts of the world, in Magallanes, a city at the southern tip of Chile near the Antarctic, measures have been taken to prepare for the threat of "harmful ultraviolet radiation from space" due to ozone depletion. These measures include setting four levels of danger based on the intensity of harmful ultraviolet radiation, and implementing countermeasures against harmful ultraviolet radiation. Since 1999, Magallanes has been working with the federal government to implement full-scale countermeasures against the impending threat of harmful ultraviolet radiation, and concerns about the impact on daily life have been raised. [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0004] Today, we haven't even perfected the technology to remove not only space debris but also metal particles, including aluminum, from rocket re-entry into space. The outer casing of space rockets and satellites must be made of materials that have minimal impact on the depletion of the space ozone layer. The challenge lies in finding materials that do not deplete the ozone layer, are highly resistant to vibration, and do not cause radio interference. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] To achieve a "0% moisture content" through drying without damaging cell membranes, a technology based on aquaporin theory is necessary, utilizing the effects of water flow temperature and far-infrared / ultra-far-infrared rays. It is necessary to place the cells of the drying machine and the cells of the green wood in an environment of around 40°C, where water movement is easily facilitated, and by creating an environment for assimilation, cell membrane damage of the green wood does not occur. The water potential within the green wood increases, and as shown in Figures 1 and 2, free water in the vessels and bound water within the cells begin to move. As bound water and free water move and water is released from the green wood, cell membrane damage does not occur, resulting in 0% moisture content lumber that maximizes the characteristics of wood, such as strength and flexibility. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, "0% moisture content dried lumber" obtained through special drying has strength because there is no cell membrane damage and the honeycomb structure of the cells does not collapse, and depending on the type of wood, it can be made into a highly durable material by stacking several layers.

[0006] It is crucial that the outer walls of space rockets be made of specially dried wood. By using wood obtained through this special drying process, all the water in the cells of the rocket's outer wall wood is removed, resulting in the wood of this invention, which is "wood with 0% moisture content and no cell membrane damage." Furthermore, in order to completely immobilize space rockets and artificial satellites in space for long periods of time, all wood materials must have a "0% moisture content." [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] Using wooden rockets and satellites for their exterior walls will help halt ozone layer depletion. By ensuring that the moisture content of all cells in all wooden exterior wall materials is 0%, complete fixation becomes possible, unlike metals which change with temperature and pressure, resulting in a strong, flexible, and robust structure. Space rockets and satellites that use the wood of this invention for their exterior walls will benefit from the material's characteristics: it does not conduct electricity, is less susceptible to vibration than metal, is less affected by space debris, is less susceptible to radio interference, and, as a recycled resource, allows for a stable supply of the material, ultimately leading to high cost performance. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0008] [Figure 1] This is a diagram showing the water flow in a desiccant. [Figure 2] This image shows a cell viewed under a microscope, where there is no cell membrane damage and the honeycomb structure remains intact. [Figure 3] This diagram shows the strength of wood when the moisture content is reduced to 0%. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] For rockets and satellites with wooden exterior walls, the exterior walls must be made of wood. The wood material must be specially dried lumber. The number of layers of wood used will be determined by the type of wood.

[0010] The creation of the drawings will essentially involve replacing all the materials in the existing metal exterior wall designs with wood materials. To create exterior walls with the same size and thickness as metal exterior walls, a specific special adhesive will be used instead of metal nails and screws. This special adhesive must also be fire-resistant. Furthermore, the type of wood used for the exterior walls will vary depending on the type of wood used for space rockets and satellites, resulting in differences in hardness, softness, cell size, and water movement.

Claims

1. This space rocket and satellite features wooden exterior walls, characterized by replacing all existing metal materials with wood materials that have a "0% moisture content" and do not cause any damage to cell membranes.

2. All types of wood materials, including conifers, hardwoods, and bamboo, are suitable for exterior wall construction. The type of wood should be selected according to the required application, and all exterior wall panels should be bonded using special adhesives. No metal screws or nails should be used. However, metal materials, metal parts, screws, and nails used inside space rockets and satellites should be adopted as they are.
