I need to come up with an invention for school about the Moon?

Question

I have to come up with an invention for school that would help or change the fact of not having gravity on the Moon. I would appreciate any help that I can get on this. Thank you so much ahead of time for any help you can offer me. Please and Thank You

Answer 1

The moon has a low gravity, about a 6th of Earth's. You could build a large centrifuge, like the one NASA uses to subject trainee astronauts to high g forces, to test whether they can handle the high acceleration of the shuttle and rockets. It would be lighter and more efficient on the moon, due to less friction on the bearings, but would need to be enclosed against moondust, which is very damaging to moving parts. It could be used for sleeping in. You could also load everyone with weights, for daily activities, otherwise they lose muscle mass and bone density over long periods in low or no gravity.

Answer 2

To begin with, there is gravity on the moon but it is only a 6th of the earth's gravity. This does make for a problem with walking as a 150 lb. man would only weigh 25 lbs. on the moon. To help you would need something like velcro shoes and sidewalks to walk on.
