A new type of explosives uses nanotechnology for making a better effect


Kimmo Huosionmaa

The nanotechnological explosives are the quite little-known solution of this technology. This kind of explosives might have nanoballs, what is filled with oxidizing chemicals or oxygen, what would boost the power of the chemical explosive. Or the explosive itself it packed in the nanoballs, what is covered by some chemical, what is invisible for security checks. And if they can store the oxygen would they used in the special fuels, would that If those nanoballs would be made by the easily vaporizing material they could be used in the fuel for releasing the oxygen in the cylinder or combustion chamber of some motors.


But in this case, they should be small enough that they can pass the fuel injection system of the motors. But let's go back to explosives. Those balls consist of the layer, what is made by ceramics or varnish, and the explosive, what would be exploded by napalm or in the exotic version by targeting them with high-power electromagnetic radiation, what would raise the temperature in the balls, and that would cause the explosion. If there is a small piece of metal, that would hit the park in the explosive, and it would explode.


This dust type of explosive would allow making the more effective version of the FAE (Fuel Air Explosives), what is ever made. But when we are thinking about the composite explosives, there is another version of the nanotechnical version of C-4 plastic explosive. There are two components of the explosives in this material. The slower burning component, what could be TNT (Trinitrotoluene) would be forming the pyramid shape structures in the material.


Those structures are forming the chains in the structure of the explosive. And in the top of the pyramids is the molecule of the RDX (Cyclonite), and that molecular structure allows the explosive focus the power in the certain direction. Those pyramids are acting like miniature HEAT ammunition, what would give those explosives very huge power. The shape of this structure might be like foam rubber, but it would be more effective if, the pyramid structure is pointed to the way, that the blast effect would be targeted to the target like in the full-scale HEAT-warhead. That would give extra-power to those explosives.

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.

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
