Do you know what is the "electric arc" jet engine? Originally this engine was created for interplanetary flight. Basically, this engine is the rocket, where the electric arc would replace the burning in the combustion chamber. And that rocket would not need the oxygenize the fuel for burning. In many scenarios, this rocket would need the nuclear reactor for creating the electric arc, but that is not true. The electricity, what is needed could be created by putting dynamo in the turbine pump of that system.


The use of an electric arc in the jet engines is the fascinating idea because that motor would not need to form any special way. Even the straight tube would be enough if there is a flap system in both sides. The system might look like the flap motor, what is used in V-1 "Flying bombs" in the 1940's, but the electric arc motors have one big difference.


The rise of the pressure in the tube would be done by using the electric arc, and this motor would not need fuel for creating the pressure in the tube. In some scenarios, I have thought that this motor could work without nuclear power. The system needs only the high power capacitor for creating the electric arc, what would give the thrust for the aircraft.


That engine would work like this. First, the flaps would let the fuel to the tube, and then the electric arc would be created. The electric arc would raise the temperature and volume of the gas inside the tube, and then the backside flaps would open, and the gas would be exhausted with force. And if the power of that system is high enough, the air would be heated enough, that there would be no need for extra fuel.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

   "This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things.  That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries.  "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

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
