To stabilize the base, a helpful tool would be a gyroscope, in order to avoid the base to overturn. Then using some anchors in strategic positions (maybe three), would make the base to stay almost in the same place the anchors were thrown. Also the anchoring system would have powerful, endurable and waterproof engines to lift the anchors as quickly as possible. To answer the question of what would be the best location for it; for better results could be used near the coast but the design of the base will allow it to stay safe deep water offshore. For the propulsion system the weight of the cable won’t cause any trouble because the allow needs to be waterproof, so the alloy would be aluminum, copper and other endurable but light metal. The own propellers may move the base.
The base of the space elevator may have a circular shape to stabilize the system; this one could use 4 anchors, which should be placed in shallow water, using offshore platforms to be subject in the background. The anchor cables can be made with a material called "graphene" for its high resistivity and weight. The propulsion system must be powerful enough to move the elevator in case of asteroids. In the case, the offshore platforms allow to move the base´s cables to help the propulsion system.

We discuss in a group of the students of mechatronic engineer the suitable of the offshore base station and plenty doubts came to our mind, first with the anchoring system, the loads of wind will put in strong risk the entire project. Also, we take in count the mass area of the station, to design an anchoring systems to compensate such mass, we really need a innovate material to bring the strength enough and give the flexibility to quick response before any emergency. We thought that maybe the base could be carried by other ships so, it doesn’t need to have a large engine to move by itself, and also the anchoring system may be removable, with some magnetic mechanism, so in case of danger of collision, the station can leave quickly the huge mass and then can reconnect easily. About the propulsion system, we believe that having an autonomous power system would be counterproductive to the base station, because it will increases the risk of operation, so we prefer have a self-control state system which can have a small propulsion system to keep the offshore station in balance and if will be necessary, move it in a small constant speed to a different place.
For stabilizing the base could be better if we use anchors with drills on they tips, this for hold the base to the ground but would need a interdisciplinary analysis for desing the drills and the number of pins that reduce the cost and accomplish the requirements for a secure subjection of the base instead of where would take off for any reason. For the propulsion system would be risky have together the base and the propulsion propellers because the fuel or the energy that allow system to work decreases base security standars.
The design process of the space elevator and its anchoring system is a very extensive and complex duty. First of all, the magnitude of a structure as massive as the space elevator will be seriously affected by the wind drag if it is not designed in a aerodynamic shape. The side thatwill be in constant interaction with the wind has to have a reduced surface area to reduce the stress caused in the structure dueto the wind force. Also reducing the surface area will reduce the amount of material used, decreasing the weight of the elevator (this subject will be addressed later on). Also the elevator can't have the same shape throughout all the elevation. This is because of the great height of the elevator it will be subjected to the wind shear effect, which is a natural and almost linear increase of the wind speed as the altitude rises. Thus the force that the wind will exert on the elevator will vary and the desing for a lower part of the structure won't make the cut for the higher wind speeds at greater heights.
Regarding the anchoring system it has to be located offshore about a mile away from the coast; not any further away because the waves are bigger and stronger in deeper waters and that ocean behavior can ne hazardous, specially during a storm or a hurricane. This system will consist of four floating bases in a simetrical formation that wil hold the elevator with a series of cables. In the center of the four bases will be another one that will act as a neumatic hook for the end of the elevator. When the elevator needs to be moved the hooking system will disengage and let the elevator move as a pendulum within the space between the floating bases for minor displacement or if it needs to travel a bigger distance the floating bases will move with the help of proppelers fitted under each base. As for the materials to build this monument to human knowledge there is no definitive idea. Some scientists believe carbon nanotubes will probably solve this problem, but the investigations will have con continue to give a veredict.
