Just wondering if it would be possible to make a space tether/elevator out of looped rubber bands like that of a loom bands like the common loom band?
Each time a new band is added for length, the weight of the band would be spread evenly over the bands already on the chain, the added weight would get smaller each time to the point of not being consequential?
I’m assuming there is an equation to say why this wouldn’t work?
Can someone set me straight on this?
Thanks
