Futuristic "Cloud Cities" and hovering generators can revolutionize space research.
The miniature version of the "O'Neill" cylinder is offering a good place for laboratories, what is hovering at the atmospheres of the planets, which have hydrocarbon atmosphere. One of the most interesting versions of the "cloud cities" is the giant airship, where the crew lives inside the gas tank, where is pressurized air.
The airship-structure would hover in the atmosphere of planets which atmosphere is heavier than air, and that means the cigar-shaped" structure, which can blow in right form can operate easily in the atmosphere of the planets. Those structures can hover if those planets have a hydrocarbon atmosphere. That means people can walk and live in the "zeppelin", which is offering protection against hostile conditions.
In some visions, the generators will send to the atmosphere of the gas planets. The idea is that those generators will send the electricity to the probes, which are operating near the planet by using maser radiation. This thing decreases the need to use nuclear fuel in the mission, which increases the safety and operational time of those probes.
Cloud cities are remarkable ideas for things like colonizing the solar system. Those cloud cities could be the spacecraft, which are hovering in the atmosphere of the planet, and there could be propellers inside those structures. The propellers, which are powered by the capillary flow, comes from the tube. That tube is downed to the atmosphere of the planet. The propeller would also rotate the electric generator, where that system will get the power.
The curved tubes can also increase the thrust, and maybe it could hover at the higher atmosphere of the gas giants like Jupiter. The idea is that the cloud city or cloud craft can collect the energy from the capillary flow and then it needs less nuclear energy for the journey than by using just only the nuclear reactors. The same tube that is used to bring the capillary air to generators can also use as the particle accelerator, which gives our hypothetical space system a very big punch for the spacecraft.
This kind of structure and ability to use "green power" is increasing the operational time for the spacecraft in the long missions. And that kind of system would operate also in the atmospheres of the planets like Uranus and Neptune. Those planets are too far for benefiting solar power.
