Abstract
The Einstein-Elevator is a customized application of a classical drop-tower. A drop-tower is a structure that reproduces zero-gravity conditions for scientific experiments. These experiments are carried out inside a large vacuum chamber, which is dropped without the application of external forces. The major drawback of the established drop-tower technology is the low number of permissible experiments per day, mainly due to the time-consuming preparation of the vacuum. The Einstein- Elevator drastically decreases the necessary time for an individual experiment and moreover increases the quality of the reproduced zero-gravity conditions, thanks to the worldwide unique drive- and guideconcept. To investigate the achieved quality of the Einstein- Elevator, a mechanical simulation model was developed to study the behavior of the minimal residual acceleration during the free-fall phase.
