Spherical simulator

Claim 1

A modular relatively portable spherical simulator, comprising: a) a modular rotational sphere containing a wall, with an inside face, a center, a center of gravity, a center axis, and a spherical compartment, said wall of said sphere containing a door allowing the guests direct access to said guest area directly from the outside without having to climb into a cockpit; b) modular base assembly for supporting said sphere and containing a load cell for producing feedback; c) means void of a centrifuge for providing a full range of gravitational sensations starting from zero gravity free fall weightlessness to the restraining force of a rocket launching so that said user is exposed to various G-forces to simulate different maneuvers; d) a pair of full height rear projection viewing screens and a speaker system; e) rotational propulsion assemblies permitting said sphere to rotate along a first axis and a second axis by transferring power from said base to said sphere; f) a sphere pedestal, said sphere pedestal permitting said sphere to rotate along said two axis; g) linear induction motors for propulsion about said first axis; h) cantilevered supports for holding said linear induction motors used for propulsion of said first axis; and i) additional linear induction motors for propulsion of said second axis, said base containing said linear induction motors for propulsion of said second axis.
