A gravity chute is an industrial reverse gravity harmonic load lifter, capable of moving ore and other components from the surface of a planet to a low orbital platform, for further interplanetary transport. Although the gravity chute requires tremendous amounts of energy to function, they are still far more cost effective. Since the gravity chute can operate in both directions, the Telians have created enormous ore transport ships, which would be unable to land and take off from the surface of a planet.
