摘要: A cable (130) includes an electrical wire band (134). A parallel electrical wire (133) is formed by arranging a pair of a first electrical wire (131) and a second electrical wire (132) without being twisted together. The electrical wire band is formed by arranging a plurality of parallel electrical wires in a lateral row. In addition, between two adjacent parallel electrical wires, a second electrical wire of one parallel electrical wire is arranged adjacently to a first electrical wire of the other parallel electrical wire. Further, the electrical wire band is wound and accommodated in a spiral spring shape in a cable wrap mechanism (100).

摘要: The invention relates to an aerial transport device by means of connections with supply lines and cables for the transport of electricity, liquids and goods, at the limit of the atmospheres of the planets, in areas with low gravitational attraction, so that the flight can take place in the formation. The aerial transport device by means of flight devices (A, A1n, B, Bn, A4) that are in motion and connected between them, characterized in that the system can supply (P1) and simultaneously transport physical objects, liquids, and energy (P) to and from the outer space of dense atmospheres (D) and to reach the maximum limit of the environment density suitable for space flight devices (A3) with aerodynamic load as well as for horizontal air transport (A4, A2, P, An, A3). The invention is technical device for transporting in space with flying devices and move in formation flight of at least three forming connections.

摘要: A satellite includes a housing, a circuit board containing circuitry, a battery electrically connected to the circuit board, a tank, an expandable balloon disposed in the tank, a heater, a valve providing liquid communication between the tank and the heater when in an open position and providing no liquid communication between the tank and the heater when in a closed position, and a nozzle having an orifice in liquid communication with the heater. Operating the satellite includes partially filling the expandable balloon with a gas, loading liquid fuel into the tank, launching the satellite into space, opening the valve to cause the liquid fuel from the tank to pass into the heater under pressure provided by the gas in the expandable balloon, activating the heater to heat and vaporize the liquid fuel into a fuel vapor, and expelling the fuel vaper out of the nozzle.
