Abstract
This study presents magnetic concepts for artificial gravity and artificial balance on space travel. The magnetic pseudo gravity system could be constructed on any size manned spacecraft, low-gravity planet and moon. Qualitative analysis of the magnetic methods via soft ferrite, Fe oxide nano-particles and ferrofluids is elucidated. The magnetic method could ensure that weight-bearing bones of space travelers are continually under stress and that the osteoblast cells will be formed. The coated Fe oxide nanoparticle and ferrofluids could enable the inner ear balance mechanism. The proposed magnetic methods could effectively construct artificial gravity and artificial balance for space travel.
