The NIF (National Ignition Facility) has shot high-explosives with the most high-energetic laser in the world.


The NIF (National Ignition Facility) exploded high-explosive material by using the most powerful laser in the world. The purpose of that test is to find out what happens during explosions. And how the chemical material of explosives will combine with oxygen. That thing allows creating a new type of explosives, what power is more adjustable. The new electromagnetic explosives are more capable than ever before. In this case, we are talking about conventional explosives, what power can adjust by stressing them with electromagnetic radiation.

Electromagnetic explosives are interesting tools because if the energy of explosives can increase in use. That allows for the storage of less explosive materials. In some facilities is tested the explosives that can activate by connecting them with the activation chemical. Which makes them safer to cargo and store. Without that activator, the explosive cannot detonate. But if the power of the explosive can increase with electromagnetic radiation, that thing can make it possible to use the smaller mass of explosives in the targets. 

The simpler version is just to detonate the explosive material by using a laser burst. The energy of the laser will increase the energy of the explosive. But more advanced version would load the electricity to explosive before detonation. That thing can happen by using radio waves, which will load electricity to the iron atoms that are connected in the explosive molecules. In this version, the system simply loads electricity to explosives. 

The new electromagnetic explosives are the most fascinating tools since dynamite. The idea is that the structure of the molecule of the explosive is equipped with iron atoms. When the electromagnetic radiation hits the iron that will load the electricity in it, it increases the power of the explosion.

But the fact is that if the high-explosive material would load with the electromagnetic energy during the explosion, that thing would increase its power. The energy itself cannot vanish. It just can move to another object. So if we can make explosives what has small iron bites inside them. We could theoretically adjust the power of the explosives very accurately. 

In those electromagnetically adjustable explosives, the material would stress by using the electromagnetic radiation before the detonation. If the material cannot release its electromagnetic load before explosion its power can increase to a very high level. 

The new electromagnetically boosted explosives can have similar power to nuclear explosions. But their power can adjust very accurately. This kind of explosive can use in bombs very easily. When the aircraft flies to the target, the electric system loads the power to the explosive. That kind of thing allows storing smaller batches of explosives in storage.

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 ...
