Thoughts of the futuristic image. And the "Cherenkov-thruster".

This vision might be true in the distant future. The spacecraft has landed on the planet, which orbits the black hole. Maybe someday far away from this moment, some spacecraft will face this situation. But today that thing is only the imaginational or philosophical visions.

The image of crashlanding near the black hole is causing many types of thoughts in my mind. The question is can this kind of thing be the future of mankind? When we are thinking about the radiation of the black hole there is the possibility that the craft is pushing it outwards by using the x-ray counter radiation. If the jammer system can shoot the radiation back to the environment. 

That thing makes it possible to decrease the radiation stress to the body of the craft. The counter radiation or the photon impacting is the thing that might make the craft even invisible to its environment. If the system uses the photon impact it can deny the reflection. When we are analyzing this image, we must ask what the craft is doing? Is it loading its antimatter batteries by using the radiation of the black hole? Is that plate some kind of antimatter creator? Or is it some kind of radar which mission is to search the minerals from the ground? Or is the craft making the black hole in that plate?

If we are thinking of real interstellar space travel there are many things to solve before that thing can be done even by using the highly advanced multipurpose artificial intelligence. Of course, the craft could be the remote-controlled robot that uses the man-shaped sub robots for its mission. 

The system can use superpositioned and entangled particles for communication. In that system, the other side of the particle pairs is in the laboratory. And other is connected to the central computer of the spacecraft. In that case, the information is traveling like in the stick.

The superpositioned and entangled particle pair is acting like the needle and rod of the old-time LP player. And that thing makes it possible to communicate with distant spacecraft in real-time. But getting the spacecraft to another solar system takes its time. 

The information can travel between Earth and distant craft very fast. But the craft itself travels with very slow speed if we want to compare that thing with the distances in the universe. So can we someday make the spacecraft that travels faster than the speed of light? In some ideas, the quantum field around the spacecraft is removed. Or the quantum field at the front of the engine nozzle is removed. And the rocket shoots the high-energetic particle radiation through that area. 

The simplified diagram of "Cherenkov-thruster"

The simplified model of Cherenkov thruster.

1) Area where the quantum fields are removed

2) Particle flow

3) Areas where quantum fields are affecting. 

When the high-energetic particles are traveling in the vacuum where the quantum fields are not affecting they are traveling faster than the speed of light. When those particles hit the quantum field they are delivering their kinetic energy as the blue light flash. 

The second quantum layer can be the membrane that is made by using water molecules. That is positioned at the edge of the nozzle by using powerful magnets. But this type of thing is far in the future. 

The "Cherenkov-thuster"

Cherenkov-engine is the hybrid system that shoots high-energetic particles through the area where the quantum fields are removed. When those particles would hit the quantum field that thing would send the blue light flash. So there is the possibility that in the future. This kind of boosted photon rocket will send some kind of craft to other solar systems. 

In some visions in the engine chamber is created the black hole. That black hole shoots its radiation through the area where the quantum fields and scattering effects are removed. The problem is how to make that in practice. But maybe that problem will solve in the future. 

When the system shoots the radiation through that area. And it faces the point where the quantum fields are starting to affect it sends the photon or blue light flash. 

That kind of system can be called as "Cherenkov engine". The engine uses the slowing of the particles when they come from a vacuum to an effective area of the quantum field. So the Cherenkov engine will shoot extremely fast particles to the quantum bubble and those particles are sending photons and push the craft forward. The push against the quantum bubble will increase the thrust of the engine. And along with the ability to use heavier particles than photons is giving more thrust for that system.

O'Neill cylinders and travel outside the asteroid belt

This artist’s conception from the 1970s shows the interior of an O’Neill cylinder. (Credit: NASA) 

The O'Neill cylinder is theoretical construction of the space station or spacecraft which involves an environment that looks like Earth. There are plantations, houses, and other things that are on Earth. But everything has been made in the rotating cylinder. The centripetal force is making the artificial gravitation inside the cylinder. And that allows the crew to live as they would live on Earth. So that's why the O'Neill cylinder is called the "artificial Earth". 

The creator of that idea Gerard O'Neill introduced that there is a small city in the cylinder. The idea is that the O'Neill cylinder would work as the platform for benefiting the resources of the entire solar system. And maybe that kind of system would make humans travel to another solar system. The question is how that kind of system would get its electric supply? The answer would be the nuclear reactor or fusion power. The problem is that the normal fission reactor would need new fuel after every five years. 

Fusion energy is complicated to produce. But there is always possible to use the generator for making electricity for the artificial world. In that system, there is spacecraft that is connected to the generator. Then the craft orbit around that point. That thing makes the generator rotate and it would make the electricity to the entire space station. Or the cores of the cylinder are turned to the induction generator. 

In the middle of the rotating cylinder would put the rotor. And to the core is installed the stator. That turns the rotating cylinder itself into the generator. The O'Neill cylinder would be an enormous thing. That means the forces that are affecting this structure are enormous. So there is the possibility that the centripetal forces are ripping that megastructure in pieces. 

Maybe that kind of space station is traveling in the solar system. And share goods and people to colonies that will establish to other planets and their moons. There is the possibility that the Mars craft would install rotating structures that are making it possible to grow vegetables in the space. 

When we are thinking about the possibility to create artificial gravitation by using rotating structures. That would not mean that the entire craft must rotate if somewhere is growing vegetables. The parts that are rotating can also connect to other parts of the craft by using bearings. That means that only those parts that are needed for plantations are rotating. Which means the rotating masses are lower.
