The militarization of space is a sad thing

The militarization of space is a sad thing

There have been introduced many ideas about the use of magnetic accelerators or railguns in space. The targets of the railguns have been planned to be other satellites or even the enemy cities. The naval railguns, what are tested by the U.S, and at least Chinese navies are suitable for the spaceborne platforms.

One of the ideas has been that the railguns have been installed in the higher altitude satellites, and if there would be some kind of conflicts those satellites will start to shoot satellites, which are lower trajectories. Those "conventional" railguns would be used also against high-flying aircraft or defense against low-altitude ASAT (Anti-satellite systems), what are bases the kinetic energy missiles like THAAD.

The creation of the railguns and especially space-borne railguns are argued that they are only suitable weapons, which have enough short reaction time to destroy FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System) what means nuclear weapons, what are parked on the orbiter. The railgun can be very stealthy, and the magnetic track can be pulled in. The ammunition could send through that track by using a centrifugal sling, which allows them to have a very high rate of fire. Those systems can be used against all other satellites, and their primary targets would be the communication and low orbiting recon satellites.

"Project Thor"

"Rods of God" is one of the most horrifying things, that mankind has ever invented. The idea to shoot flechette or kinetic energy projectile from the orbiter is not the same than shoot the megaton-class nuclear warheads to some cities.

The kinetic energy ammunition can get an incredibly powerful punch from the iron bite, which makes it possible to share precise and high accurate destruction to enemy cities and other areas. The extremely high-speed ammunition allows destroying single houses and other things like ships. Sometimes there have been introduced the idea that the uranium-ammunition would shoot against the targets from the orbiter, and in this kind of case, the system can use the standard GAU-8 type structure, where the iron-core uranium ammunition will shoot through the magnetic accelerator.

There are two types of railguns. The normal rifles or cannons where the ammunition would send by using the normal cartridges, and to the barrel of that kind of weapon is equipped with magnetic tracks, what are accelerating the shell. Original "Project Thor" was research to use the system, where the ammunition would launch by using an air rifle or pressure bottle. That thing would make the ammunition moving and then the acceleration would be given by the magnetic track.

Another type of system is pure rail guns, where the ammunition would just pull in the magnet track, and then it would accelerate the ammunition to very high speed. The last one is easier to control at the orbital trajectory because the recoil of the system is minimum.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low. The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away. When the box is filled with quantum gas and som...

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper? The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown. But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with t...

The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862)

Image I The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862) Far away from its time is the thing, that you might notice when you see those two images. The upper one (Image I) is portraying the modern naval USS Sea Shadow (IX-529)(1) experimental Stealth ship, which was created by Lockheed-Martin, and the image below (Image II) is portraying the CSS Virginia (2), the ironclad from the Civil War Era. The thing why the hull of the CSS Virginia, what is ironclad from 1862 is that the ammunition of the cannons would not transfer their impact energy to the hull of the ship. And the reason why Sea Shadows hull has this form is that it should point the radar echo away from the hull. The thing that I must say that CSS Virginia is far ahead its time because that structure is effective against the explosive ammunition, and the slanting armor of tanks like T-34 and Sherman have made them effective. But for some reason, the use of slanting ...
