New nuclear test photographs released from 1950's

In the 1950's the United States military and Atomic Energy commission accomplished many nuclear tests in the Nevada Desert. From those tests collected the information, what was used in the creation and developing of the new kind of nuclear tests. Some of those photographs and films were classified because they were uncovered the structure of the nuclear device. One of those films was taken during nuclear test TEAPOT TURK.


The film is taken by using rapatronic cameras, what are also called "rope trick" cameras, what means that there were many single-shot cameras in the electric wire. And the electric wire allowed launching those cameras as the series, what allowed to make films for extremely fast movements. Those cameras were also used to take slow-motion pictures of bullets, what are flying in the range. The famous film where the bullet cuts playing cards and apples are taken using this camera system.


When you see the picture and the film of the fireball, you might notice small rises or discontinuity on it. Those anomalies caused because there are weaker points in the nuclear device, and that's why the exhausting shock-wave would travel faster on those points. And maybe that was the place, where the safety pellets were to ensure that the device would explode when it wanted to blow.


Or there would be three cannon type devices, what shoots the plutonium pellets to the center of the device. In that case, the chain reaction would be faster in those points. The reason for those anomalies can also cause, that there would be small pieces of Radium or Polonium in those points, and that would cause those forms, what makes this fireball look like giant macrophage.

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
