The wheel-shaped laser satellite.


 


The wheel-shaped laser satellite. 


But then we can think another version of the free-electron laser, which might be very impressive. The idea of this kind of system is that the middle laser is quite small or short. Energy to the central laser would be pumped by using the other lasers, and that kind of system can make more powerful rays than the regular lasers. 


The form of the system is the wheel or the small-size cyclotron where electrons are curving. The light would be conducted in the middle of the wheel, and then the system can send the laser ray to the target. Sometimes the wheel-form laser satellite has been introduced one version of the killer-satellite, and it can send extremely powerful rays to the target.

Free-electron lasers 


What makes free-electron lasers interesting? The free-electron laser is the particle accelerator, where the electron is traveling with a curving trajectory. The curving movement makes the electron release the photon, and that makes this system an effective laser for many purposes. 


But the problem is that the powerful free-electron lasers are very large tools because the system requires the long linear accelerator. If we would send that particle accelerator to the orbiting trajectory, the free-electron laser can be made by using the telescope-structure. 


In this case, the structure of the particle accelerator will be the push in the small size like a telescopic baton, and when the rocket is in the trajectory, the particle accelerator will be open to full length. Of course, the gas lasers like carbon monoxide lasers can blow in the full length by using pressurized gas, but the thing is that the free-electron lasers are less sensitive for leaks and impacts than the gas-lasers. 


Gas-lasers can also send outside the atmosphere


The thing in free-electron lasers is that they are also operating in the larger temperature areas, and that means that the extremely low temperature doesn't make the laser non-operational. The problem with gas lasers is that the gas would be frozen in ice, in the temperature, what are near zero kelvin. This thing happens on the night side of the Earth when satellite orbits Earth outside the atmosphere. And in extreme heat at the dayside of the Earth, the rising pressure would cause problems. 


And that makes systems like gas lasers more complicated than free-electron lasers. But the thing is that if we would send the gas laser to the orbiter we can send by packed to small size, and then blow the gas in it. And this means that the gas lasers would be more flexible systems than the solid laser systems, which cannot push in small size in the launch.

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 ...
