A couple of things about kilometer-long space stations. That China and maybe some other nations in the world are planning



At first, we must realize that creating the kilometer-long modular structure in the space. Is not so complicated a task as people might think. This system requires only ten to twenty Saturn V-scale rockets or modules. Those rockets will be a dock together at the Earth orbiter. The length of Saturn V is 110 meters. And maybe half of it would be left empty for use as part of the modular space station. 

In some plans, those modules are made by using the empty rocket stages. In those stages is installed needed equipment. Like docking systems airlocks, and consoles. Whatever is needed to complete the structure of the space station. The purpose of the airlock is also to act as the fire door. And deny the lack of gas in the case where the core of the space station is damaged. Every each of the modules can be changed if there are problems with them. 


But why that kind of system is causing concern? The tube-looking structure can be a mega-laser. The kilometer-long monster can create the megawatt or even gigawatt class laser ray. 


The thing is that the empty rocket stages that can be used as the part of the space station can be used as the modules of the mega-lasers. Inside the structure of the kilometer-long tube would install the laser element. That element can also be modular and the bites of the laser tube can connect to the one entirely in the space. The laser would locate in the 20 50 meters long rocket stages. And the energy for that monster would be pumped by the auxiliary satellites. 

The kilometer-long carbon monoxide laser can seem like some kind of science fiction tale. But the idea is that the laser would be at the sun side of the Earth. And the support satellites that are orbiting the Earth by using the polar trajectories would aim their mirrors to that laser. Or if those auxiliary satellites are using lasers for pumping energy to the mega-laser can be anywhere. The idea of the mega-laser has been taken from the Soviet plans. 

The original idea of the lasers is to use solar power for creating their beam. The sunlight would target the laser system by using the mirror that collects the radiation to the laser element. 

The idea was officially to create the power satellite, but there were also military purposes for that kind of satellite. The power of the laser ray of this type of system is depending on the energy load that can be loaded into the laser system. And the kilometer-long laser that has auxiliary lasers for energy pumping is creating an extremely powerful ray that can affect targets on the ground.

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 ...
