Abstract
In this paper we investigate the feasibility of a recently proposed space-based experiment aimed to detect the effect of the Earth's gravitomagnetic field in space-borne semiconductors carrying radial electric currents and following identical, in principle, circular equatorial orbits along opposite directions. Identical voltages of gravitomagnetic origin would be induced across the orbiting semiconductors, while equal and opposite gravitoelectric larger voltages would be generated. It turns out that the deviations from the proposed idealized orbital configuration due to the unavoidable orbital injection errors would make impossible the measurement of the gravitomagnetic voltage of interest.
