Lasers and their problems, and the virtualization of lasers.

The problems with high-power laser weapons are the heating of the element of the laser. The most powerful laser-types like carbon monoxide-lasers give their power to the infra-red frequency, and that is the reason, why those lasers are so powerful, but in the real life the high power laser needs powerful lights, to produce the laser-ray in the tube.


And this is the reason, why the making of compact and powerful lasers is so difficult. In the airplanes, the problem has been solved, by conducting the air inside the laser space, and also use of the LED-lights decrease the production of the heat inside the laser-element. Also, the use of artificial diamonds in those weapons is given the change to produce very high power compact lasers.


The artificial diamond is actually the carbon crystal, what will grow in the pressure-chamber, what involves the conditions, where the diamonds are forming. The most powerful lasers are the size of the kilometer, and they are used in the fusion experiments. There have been made tests where the very powerful lasers are in the fixed position on earth, and the rays were targeted by the mirrors in the orbiter.

The lasers have put in the form of X, and in the end of the laser is the mirror, what looks the little bit like small telescopes. Those mirrors can all turn 90 degrees and that will give the system 360 degrees coverage. Those lasers are very dangerous because those rays can be conducted to the targets by the mirror satellites, what stands the only couple of seconds. But this system might be killed any target on earth with very sharply, and the laser can be used against any warship or another target on earth.


But there is another way to produce very powerful lasers, by using conventional laser systems. This methodology is based, that in the middle of the laser group is one more powerful laser than the sides of it, and when the laser will start to work, the laser what is middle of the group creates the laser-ray, what is synchronized with another laser, that they have exactly same frequency than this the most powerful laser of the group has.


Then those side-lasers will be pumped the extra energy in that lead ray, what increases the power of the laser weapon. This means the virtualization of the lasers and this allows to use of the more less powerful systems like MIRACL (Mid-InfraRed Chemical Laser) to create very powerful ray. Those systems are tested in  Radužnyi ("Vladimir 30") laser test range in Russia.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
