State of the art database: Artificial gravity

[Suzibianco]

Start a database of the state of the art of artificial gravity for space exploration comparing the latest proposed concepts.
Include: have tests been done? Problems, advantages, and any other relevant information.

Realistically, there are only two forms of "artificialgravity" plausable. These being constant acceleration and centrifugal force. Of these two, only centrifugal force can maintain significant levels of artificial gravity over a significant length of time. That being the case it seems to me that the database should be restricted to strategies for applying centrifugal force. Even this would be somewhat limited in scope.

I would suggest modifying the objective for this database to list: specifications for practical centrifugal artificial-g, and research data relevant to (centrifugal) artificial-g. Much of this information should be readily available using the NTRS (NASA Technical Reports Server).

I see your point. Great idea, let's do that.
