Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a lunar utilization system.
Background Art
[0002] It is clear that the lunar surface has an atmosphere of only about 1 / 100 trillion or less of the density of the Earth's atmosphere on the sea surface and is an extremely harsh space part constantly exposed to various cosmic rays such as micro-meteorite impacts, ultraviolet rays, and X-rays. Also, recently, Mr. Elon Musk has planned a private lunar trip, but how to live on the moon remains unresolved.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0003] (1) There is no practical proposal in the known literature on how to specifically utilize the moon. (2) There is no known literature on specifically providing residences, hospitals, factories, towns, cities, etc. on the moon. (3) There is no known literature on doing things on the moon that cannot be done on Earth. (4) The object of the present invention is to provide lunar utilization such as the supply of energy from the moon to the Earth.
[0004] The lunar surface is not suitable as a living environment due to a large amount of radiation, cosmic rays, ultraviolet rays, and falling meteorites. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a system for providing residences, shopping streets, government offices, towns, factories, hospitals, etc. on the moon and contributing to the Earth.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0005] In October 2017, it was announced that the satellite "Kaguya" of JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) discovered that there are vertical holes 2 with a diameter and depth of several tens of meters and underground cavities 3 with horizontal holes of several tens of kilometers naturally formed on the moon 1 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
[0006] As shown in Fig. 3, the present invention provides a staircase 4 and an elevator 5 in a vertical hole 2 formed in the surface 1a of the moon. By using a material that blocks cosmic rays 8 and the like for the treads of the staircase 4, it is possible to prevent cosmic rays 8 and the like from reaching below the staircase, thus creating a space that can be utilized by people. Also, since cosmic rays 8 and the like are blocked on the lunar surface 1a, this is an example of the implementation of the present invention that utilizes the fact that residences, shopping streets, factories, offices, towns 6, hospitals 7, etc. can be provided in the underground cavity 3.
[0007] Since the moon has little gravity and almost no atmosphere, chemical synthesis and treatment methods that are impossible on Earth can be carried out in the above-mentioned factories 6 and hospitals, so the effect of the present invention is extremely great.
[0008] Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a roof-shaped cosmic ray protection plate 9 that blocks radiation, meteorites 8, etc. is provided on the elevator 5 and the staircase 4 provided in the vertical hole 2 of the moon. Since the moon obtains light not only from the sun but also from the Earth, if this is used as a solar power generation panel and an Earth light power generation panel, it can also be used for generating electrical energy used on the moon. Also, similar to the vertical hole protection plate 9, an upper horizontal hole protection plate 10 is provided on the horizontal hole 6 of the moon to prevent cosmic rays 8 and the like from entering the cavity 6.
[0009] Of course, the present invention also includes the case where the above-mentioned protection plates 9 and 10 are not provided.
[0010] 11 is the entrance of the staircase. The staircase 4 may be a spiral staircase or a turning staircase. 12 is the external entrance and exit of the elevator, 13 is the cage of the elevator, and 14 is the entrance and exit of the elevator inside the cavity.
[0011] Fig. 5 is a top view of Fig. 4.
[0012] The present invention also includes the case where the above-mentioned solar panel and the cosmic ray protection plate are not combined, but only the solar power generation panel and the Earth light power generation panel, or only the cosmic ray protection plate.
[0013] Also, since the temperature difference on the moon is extremely large, power generation on the moon using the temperature difference and its system are also included in the present invention.
[0014] The electric power obtained from power generation by sunlight, earth light, or thermoelectric power generation is not only used for activities on the moon, but also includes the invention of sending the electric power obtained on the moon to the earth by means such as microwave, and using the moon as a power source for the earth.
[0015] In the present invention, the components used on the moon utilize the irradiated parts exposed to radiation such as cosmic rays and radiation, and the non-irradiated parts not exposed to the radiation, and are characterized by having towns, hospitals, etc. in the non-irradiated parts.
[0016] Utilizing the structure of the moon with the horizontal cave cavity 3 naturally existing underground on the moon 1 and the vertical hole 2 naturally existing that penetrates the horizontal hole 3 and the lunar surface 1a, and providing the infrastructure 6, 7 for human use in the horizontal cave cavity 3, and further utilizing the moon using this. In addition, since moving parts such as stairs and elevators are provided at the part of the vertical hole connected to the horizontal hole, for example, it is possible to easily move between the ground and underground during activities on the lunar surface. Also, the simplest configuration as the moving part is the stairs 4 in FIG. 3. The step plates of the stairs are made of a material that does not allow cosmic rays 8, etc. to penetrate, and a zone where radiation 8 does not hit can be formed below it. Also, the present invention includes the case where a folding staircase, a spiral staircase, etc. are adopted in addition to the flat staircase.
[0017] The factory 6 and hospital 7 provided in the horizontal cave utilize the fact that the gravity is one-sixth of that on the earth, and it is also characterized by being able to perform processing that cannot be done on the earth, treatment of patients' feet and waists, various rehabilitations, and chemotherapy.
[0018] It is also characterized in that means for generating energy using irradiated light type or temperature difference are provided at the upper position and other arbitrary positions of the parts 6, 7 where humans can live provided in the vertical hole 2 naturally formed on the moon 1.
[0019] The third embodiment of the present invention is to further extend the solar panel and thermoelectric power generation element 10 in FIG. 5 to cover the entire circumference of the moon (not shown) so that energy can be sent to the moon and the earth for 24 hours.
[0020] Using the temperature difference on the lunar surface as described above, a thermoelectric generator for power generation is provided on the moon, and thermoelectric generators are arranged at a position irradiated with sunlight or the like and a position not irradiated with sunlight or the like (not shown), which is the fourth embodiment of the present invention.
[0021] Utilizing the lunar surface shape such as the circumferential surface of a crater having both a high-temperature part receiving sunlight or the like and a low-temperature part in the shaded area not receiving light or the like (not shown) is the fifth embodiment of the present invention.
[0022] In the irradiation light type energy generation means and the temperature difference energy generation means, providing them at a position irradiated with irradiation light such as earthshine or sunlight and a position not irradiated with irradiation light such as earthshine or sunlight (not shown) is the sixth embodiment of the present invention.
[0023] Conducting experiments on small organisms, microorganisms, viruses, etc. existing on the earth in a cavity in a hospital or a laboratory 7 is also the seventh embodiment of the present invention.
[0024] Wrapping the solar panels and temperature difference panels in FIGS. 4 and 5 around the entire circumference of the moon to generate electricity at any position on the moon and obtain energy for the moon and the earth is the eighth embodiment of the present invention.
Advantages of the Invention
[0025] According to the present invention, it is possible to build residences, towns, factories, and hospitals on the moon without the fear of cosmic rays and ultraviolet rays, which were impossible until now, and humans can live on the moon with confidence. Also, since the population on the earth has increased too much, this problem can be solved by relocating to the moon. There are health benefits in being able to cure diseases that could not be cured on the earth. Also, it is possible to conduct research on chemical reactions that could not be carried out on the earth. Moreover, production and new industries can be launched thereby. Also, it can supply energy to the earth to compensate for the shortage of earth energy, and the energy does not pollute the earth environment. The effects of the present invention are great.

Specifically, moving parts such as stairs and elevators are provided in the vertical holes. Thereby, it is possible to move between the lunar surface and underground. In addition, living quarters, towns, farmlands, ponds, factories, government offices, hospitals, etc. are provided in the horizontal holes. That is, the cavity part, which is the non-irradiated part (non-directly irradiated part) of the moon, is used as the living space. Thereby, people can live safely without being exposed to radiation and the like. Also, since moving parts such as stairs and elevators are provided at the part of the vertical hole connected to the horizontal hole, for example, it is possible to easily move between the surface and underground during activities on the lunar surface. Other matters are detailed in the section of "Means for Solving the Problems". By the way, for the oxygen for human habitation, a greenhouse-like box is installed on the lunar surface, plants are placed inside, and the oxygen generated by photosynthesis using sunlight, earth light, and cosmic energy is supplied to the pipe cavity 3 through the vertical hole 2. On the other hand, the carbon dioxide emitted by humans generated in the cavity 3 is sent to the above-mentioned greenhouse on the lunar surface through the vertical hole 2 by a pipe, and through the photosynthesis of the plants therein, it is supplied as oxygen through the pipe and the vertical hole to the cavity 3 where humans are located. Explore and discover the moon for water, or synthesize hydrogen and oxygen. Even if the above cannot be done, all installations in cavity 6 will be unmanned and operated by robots, and their power will be driven by the above-mentioned lunar power generation energy device. Since the above is known technology, it is not illustrated.
