Claim 25:
26. An artificial gravity thermal gas generator system, comprising:
a cylindrical compartment having a temperature-controlled outer wall, a first end, and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the first end comprises a rotor base, and the second end comprises a central opening disposed within an inner diameter portion of the second end;
an electric motor operatively coupled with the rotor base for rotating the cylindrical compartment to provide centripetal acceleration to an input material introduced into the cylindrical compartment via the opening, such that the input material is forced against an inner wall of the cylindrical compartment by centrifugal force while rotating;
a heating means coupled to the temperature-controlled outer wall for heating the input material via conduction to gasify the input material;
a temperature sensor operatively coupled to the temperature controlled outer wall for monitoring a temperature of the temperature-controlled outer wall;
a controller configured to control operation of the heating means based on the temperature monitored via the temperature sensor;
a collection cap having a sealing lip configured for sealing the opening to contain gasification vapors produced in the cylindrical compartment;
a hollow shaft extending through the collection cap into the cylindrical compartment;
a sealable port rotatably coupled to the hollow shaft via bearings, wherein the sealable port provides a path for gasification vapors to be collected from the cylindrical compartment; and
a machine-controlled translation stage configured for automatically translating the collection cap on and off the opening.
