On the impossibility of measuring a galvano-gravitomagnetic effect with current carrying semiconductors in a space-based experiment

TL;DR

This paper argues that measuring the galvano-gravitomagnetic effect with current space-based semiconductor experiments is infeasible due to unavoidable orbital injection errors affecting the measurements.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis showing the practical limitations and impossibility of detecting the effect with current technology in space-based setups.

Findings

Orbital injection errors prevent accurate measurement of the effect.

Current semiconductor technology is insufficient for this measurement.

The proposed experiment cannot reliably detect the gravitomagnetic voltage.

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the feasibility of a recently proposed space-based experiment aimed to the detection of the effect of the Earth gravitomagnetic field in spaceborne semiconductors carrying radial electric currents and following identical circular equatorial orbits along opposite directions. It turns out that the deviations from this idealized situation due to the unavoidable orbital injection errors would make impossible the measurement of the gravitomagnetic voltage of interest.
