The new ion drive makes aircraft operate without moving parts.

Ion drive is making it possible to create an aircraft that flies without moving parts. In this kind of model, the ion system can get energy from the small turbogenerators. Or it can deliver from Earth by using the maser rays.

There are many models of what this kind of airplane can look like. The film above this text introduces the MIT solution. There is a very interesting similarity between this concept and Wright-brothers Flyer I from Kitty Hawk that flew the first motorized flight in 1900.

The thrust of that kind of ion engine that is introduced in the film is not very big. But if the system is equipped with internal turbines, it can be a powerful tool. The fact is that the regular jet turbine can also equip with an ion assistant. That means that the air will ionize at the front of the engine.

And then it will pull backward past the combustion chamber. Also, the ion system can use to accelerate the air at the start of the ramjet or scramjet engine. The engine will ionize air at the front of the engine and then the magnets will pull ionized air backward. That increases the temperature and speed of the airflow to the level that the engine can start.

But there is the possibility that the normal bi- or triplane could also use an ion engine. Or the ion engine can also install in supersonic aircraft. In bi-or triplanes, the front line of the wings can ionize the air. And then the magnetic tracks will pull those ions backward. In the super- and hypersonic aircraft at the front of the aircraft is the stick that ionizes the air.

And then, the ion system will simply pull those ions over the wings. The ion systems can also make it possible to create wingless aircraft. In those models, the small flaps connected to the body. And the purpose of the system is to create overpressure to the wanted side of the aircraft. When the flap is turning outside it will increase the pressure at its side. The ions would pull over the body. And that thing is making the craft slide through the air.

There is also introduced that the regular propeller aircraft can equip with an ion drive. The propeller of the propeller-aircraft like the P-51 Mustang can use also as an ionizer that ionizes the air. Then the magnetic tracks will pull the ions backward and that thing turns the P-51 into a silver bullet that travels through the skies.

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
