YUMMYWORKS ELEVATOR
YUMMY WORKS SPACE ELEVATOR
Strung between its anchor on Earth (an abandoned oil platform north of the Isle of Capri) and the YummyWorks Astrofactory-- its counterweight in space-- the YummyWorks Space Elevator is the only one of its kind in the world.
HOW IT WORKS
HOW IT WORKS
The key to the space elevator is the 10,000 mile super strong ribbon that connects the Astrofactory to the oil platform. Professor Y and his team have perfected a ribbon containing carbon nanotubes called Strenua (nearly as thin as a human hair!). Strenua can be spun out at infinite length to achieve the connection from oil platform to space-based Astrofactory. To achieve the connection, Strenua is first wound into a giant spool that Professor Y sends by spacecraft into orbit. When the spacecraft reaches the correct altitude, Strenua is unspooled and sent down to the oil platform where it is attached.
Just under 10,000 miles in length, how in the heck does this amazing elevator keep from falling down? Well, imagine holding a string with a ball attached at the end. Now imagine perpetually spinning around so fast that it keeps the ball and string taut. This is the same principle with the Yummy Space Elevator! The centrifugal force of earth's rotation keeps the 10,000 miles of Strenua taut as the YummyWorks Astrofactory whirls round the Earth every 24 hours!BEANSTALK
BEANSTALK
The two lifters, Beanstalk 01 and Beanstalk 02 are propelled by Professor Y's powerful laser beams. Each carry 30 people, 10 crew members and as much as 100 tons of cargo up and down the space elevator each week. Traveling at 500 miles per hour, it takes approximately 20 hours to reach the astrofactory.
The lifters are more like luxury rail cars, comfortable 30 person sleepers with lots of amenities including: panoramic viewing upstairs, a formal dining room, boardroom for meetings, retro lounge with satellite TV and complete bar located on the lower level. In the main restaurant of both lifters you can order anything you like from new menus every day. The Pizzeria featuring freshly baked pizzas and calzones is an employee favorite. There is also a children's menu featuring plenty of favorites including spaghetti and meatballs, hot dogs, and peanut butter and Elvis's favorite, fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches!
