High voltage capacitors and why they might become a threat to national security.

When we are speaking about "energy vampires", we are thinking about the situation, where something would suck the electricity from the electric grid, and the reason could be that somebody steals the electricity from the wires. The reason could be simply, that the person would not want to pay electric bills, and that is sometimes the reason, why the electric circuit of the houses have overload. But there is one possibility, what can cause terrible problems in the electric circuits and electronics. The reason could be that somebody is loading the Leyden jars with electricity. Those capacitors can load very high loads of electricity inside them, and if the loader wants, that kind of system can cause extremely high voltage pike to the electric circuits in some area.


There is a scenario, that some person would collect the glass bottles in the cellar of some house. And after that, our man would cover them with aluminum foil. When the voltage level would be high enough, our man can just deliver that electricity to the electric circle. In some scenarios, the persons would want to make burglary in the bank, and then they just use that thing for making electric pike to the system for damaging the alarming systems. Also, the hackers would want to destroy the electricity of some area, because they would want to cover, what they have done. That kind of electromagnetic weapons are very easy to make and in some stories in the area of Russian or USA:s embassy is the giant capacitor, what can destroy the electric circles in the large area.


Those kinds of super powerful capacitors can be made by using glass bottles and aluminum foil. That system is actually very easy to manufacture. But if on the top of the isolative tower would put the metal pieces, and then the electricity would be conducted to those bites, would forming even more powerful electric phenomenon than Leyden jars. That system is called "Tesla Coils". Those systems are used in the particle accelerators, and there is nothing, what denies to use them in the military purposes. Those capacitors can connect to the enemy power supply system, and then that electricity would deliver to the electric wires. If the electricity and voltage would rise high enough,  every electric system in the area will be damaged. The system can be connected to the enemy high voltage wires, and then that electricity would load to that capacitor. Then it would deliver to the circuit. The system is very simple and lightweight. So it can be installed to the electric wires very easily by men, who have high voltage assemblers training.

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
