Spin launchers and rail guns can be next-generation launching systems for satellites. But these systems can also use as weapons.

The spin launch is the kinetic launching system that can shoot a 200-kilogram satellite to a suborbital trajectory. The spin launch is a sling that shoots a satellite to a high altitude without gunpowder or fuel. And that system can make a revolution in satellite launching. The spin-launching system can also offer cheap and useful technology to shoot minerals from the moon and asteroid belt. The diameter of the spin launcher is about 33 m. But. that is a 1/3 scale model of the full-scale system that size is about 100m.

The spin launching system can also use to send small cargo capsules between the moon and the Earth orbiter. The thing is that spin launch systems can make the super cannon that shoots GPS-guided grenades to the targets at extremely long distances. That kind of system can use to replace regular cannons. And there is a possibility that this kind of system will connect with electromagnetic rail guns.

That thing can make very powerful launching systems possible that can shoot small satellites and ammunition in very long range.

Ships also can operate spin launchers. And in some models, a spin launcher would be the sling. That installed on some high-flying airships. The sling can be the wire that spins a satellite or some other object that sends it to trajectory.

If somebody wants to use that system as a weapon that kind of system might not need the same power as satellite launchers. But the system can install on ships. And full-scale spin launchers can shoot things like GPS-guided grenades and SDB (Small-Diameter Bombs) to intercontinental range.

The Chinese claim that their electromagnetic rail guns can send ammunition to a trajectory with a speed of Mach 27. That means those railguns or "monster versions of GAU-8 "Avengers". The famous cannons of the Fairchild Republic A-10 "Thunderbolt II". Those railguns can destroy incoming missiles, aircraft ground bunkers, and even satellites.

At least if those systems are installed in killer satellites. But the Mach 27 capable railgun can install on the high mountains, and there those systems can be dangerous for satellites. That kind of system can send ammunition very high. Even if it's at sea level.

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
