V-2 rocket is one of the what-if products in the world



Image I: The V-2 rocket


Nazi Germany's V-2 rocket was a fiasco. The original name for V-2 was A-4 (Aggregate 4). In appendix 2 is the list of "aggregate" rockets of Peenemünde.  But the nazi propaganda changed the official name of that weapon to the V-2, which means Vertungswaffe 2 or revenge weapon 2. But the A-4 is only the top of the German rocket weapon programs. There was almost so way lethal rocket weapon under development that A-4 was. 

The name of that weapon was A-5, and it was planned to launch from the Heinkel III bomber against the ships and other similar targets. The A-5was the first air-launched missile that used liquid fuel. And if that weapon could cross the speed of sound and hit ships it could be more lethal than any "Fritz-X" glide bomb. 

The A-5 was the aerodynamic test unit for the A-4 or V-2 missile. But it could use as an anti-ship missile. Luckily nobody thought that thing in those days. The idea for the hypersonic missile is "stolen" at least partially from A-5. 

 V-2 was too complicated for the product in the circumstances of the war. The problem with the V-2 rocket was that it was one of the most advanced weapons in the world. When those "revenge weapons" hit London they gave no warning. The lucky thing was that those terror weapons produced so little number that they could cause the change of the war. But still, the question is on the air. What if nazis would produce a large number of those weapons in peacetime? What if the war did not begin in 1939. What if Hitler would wait until the weapon was ready.

And what if the bureaucracy didn't slow down the V-weapon program? That thing is a mystery. But the fact is that the V-2 rocket caused many questions after WWII. And one is that what if the mad man who lead the nazi government would wait until the engineers could solve technical problems of the V-2 rocket program? And the number of those weapons was higher than it was? What if their production would be more successful than in wartime?

Could the same thing happen after WWII with some other device?


When we are thinking the quantum computers and other kinds of kinds of systems the code is free. Almost everybody can search for data from the internet. And if that person has qualified engineers and other specialists in service that thing can make nasty surprises. The thing is that the V-2 (A-4)and A-3 programs were the creepy visions that the geniuses can make if they are serving the evil. The open data is making many surprises for the environment in both civil and military sectors.

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 ...
