Summary[edit]

An example of a section from a proposed launch loop, up close.

This SVG image is a redrawn version of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:LaunchLoopRotor.png .

[edit]




This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: General improvements appearance of the image to take advantage of some of SVG's features. Added gradients in several places to replace or supplement the original image's shading. Minor tweaks to the unnamed red cylinder-shaped objects along the sides, to improve their alignment and appearance. Font face and sizes are slightly different from the original. Thinner lines on the yellow arrows. Replaced the image of the US Quarter used in the original with a more modern version, and vectorized. Removed some screenshot-related text at the bottom of the image. It originally read: "ISDC2002 May 25 1500 The Launch Loop /home/keith/loop/win/isdc2002loop.sxi 16".

This SVG image is a redrawn version of [Image:LaunchLoopRotor.png]. I tried to keep this image as true to the original as practical, while improving the general appearance of it to take advantage of some of SVG's features.
