Kinetic energy bombardment is the new threat in the military world

X-37B is a small size space-shuttle, what is a very mysterious creature in the skies. The shuttle itself offers a platform for modular systems, and one of the most feared military solutions is the so-called kinetic energy missiles. Those missiles can installed in X-37B very easily, and the shuttles manipulator hand can be used to operate that thing. The system could be actually the rocket drum, what is normally installed to helicopter or aircraft, and those rockets can equip with concrete profiles, what would keep them shapes in extreme heat, what causes the rocket hits the atmosphere, and the resistance of the atmosphere would heat that projectile in very high temperature. 


This kind of solutions bases everyday technology, what would put in the new environment. The kinetic-energy bomber should not actually be a big size or complicated system. And sometimes "Mercury" capsule is actually the early version of the kinetic energy bomber. That system could be simple like the flying rocket mortar, what would shoot the rockets very sharply in some targets. In the Soviet "Almaz" program was planned to install 20-30 mm. aircraft cannons in the spacecraft. That ammunition would equip with the ceramic nucleus. And that would allow making even the river on the ground. 


There have been stories of the United States giant kinetic energy bombardment system, what was called "Project Thor". Many times there were claiming, that "Thor" was railgun or electromagnetic gun, what is installed in some satellite.  But in the real life that electromagnetic system would not be necessary, and many times I have thought that this system would be the giant airgun. Those pressure base space-cannons are actually similar that the cannons, what is used in the normal combat situations, and they can be very effective. 


The ammunition, what would be metal tungsten, will shoot to target by pressure, what is made by burning hydrogen and oxygen in the combustion chamber, and if the same force would be targeted to opposite direction, would that keep the satellite in the direct position. Sometimes the weapon like "Thor" is suitable for making channels in the dry areas, and that's why it should be classified as the mining equipment. The United Nations have prohibited those weapons, but the nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction are also prohibited. The contracts prohibit the MIRV or multi-warhead missiles. And any nuclear state is going to limit their arsenals, and the development of the new nuclear missiles is going on.

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.

  "An illustration of NASA’s research plane ER-2 flying over thunderstorms. Credit: University of Bergen / Mount Visual (CC BY 4.0), edited" (ScitechDaily, Surprising Discovery: NASA’s Retrofitted U2 Spy Plane Reveals Tropical Lightning Storms Are Radioactive) The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. 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
