DAMPING DEVICE FOR STABILIZATION OF ELECTRODYNAMIC ROPE SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B64G1/38 B64G1/32 B64G1/34 

FIELD: control systems.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to control of electrodynamic rope system oriented in near-earth orbit along local vertical line. At ends of rope (1) there are collectors of positive (2) and negative (7) charges, to which end bodies (3, 6) are attached to insulators (4, 8). In the insulators electronic emitters (5, 9) are installed, and one more emitter (11), inside insulator (10), is electrically connected to collector (7). Emitter (11) operation control unit (12) has rope (1) deviation device from vertical meter (13). Collector (7) is negatively charged from emitter (9), and part of charge is supplied to circumterrestrial space through emitter (11) in accordance with algorithm of damping oscillations of bundle, realized by unit (12) based on data of meter (13) (by angle and rate of deviation rope (1) from vertical line).

EFFECT: higher efficiency (robustness and speed) of vertical stabilization of ligament.
