Hello.
I found this discussion because … to keep things short without anecdotal stuff, I was looking for candidate technologies for my own space elevator project and its stabilization.
Yes, I take advantage of discussion forums to advertise my much less sexy space elevator, namely the SpaceShaft so my apologies for this action. Of course there are other reasons why I do this besides the advertising, (which I do since I have no budget for such things,) but very importantly because of the concentration of gray matter in forums like this.
For now I will just place a hyperlink to some descriptions of what I am proposing, I hope you find it interesting since it answers a lot of the outstanding questions being discussed. I really hope you try to demolish my idea.

Live long and prosper
