The U.S. Navy wants to create MHD-drive for submarines and other vehicles.


The MHD (Magnetohydrodynamic drive) is like a particle accelerator or ion cannon that drives ions through the tube or over the submarine's or surface ship's layer. The thing that makes MHD interesting is that the system is silent. The catamaran can be equipped with magnetic accelerators that are between the trunks of the catamaran. In Japan, the test vehicle Yamato 1 reached a speed of 6 knots in tests. There that test vehicle used an MHD drive. 

The U.S. Navy program would be more successful, because the Navy wants to use the MHD in nuclear-powered submarines, and today there are more advanced magnets and superconducting technology that makes the MHD more successful. Nuclear reactors can give far more power than Yamato 1's conventional engines. 






The saucer-shaped airships can cause the UFO-alarms. In those cases, the lights below blimps are meant to warn other aerial vehicles. And there is the possibility that some of them are used to test ion-based stealth or engine systems. If an aerial vehicle uses an ion shell or ion cloud around it, that thing could explain the mysterious shine around those vehicles.

The MHD-type systems can make the ion shell over the aircraft. And that in the shell can turn to ion stealth. If aircraft needs to fly using this kind of system it requires more powerful engines. But ion- or plasma stealth uses similar-looking systems that MHD uses. There is the possibility that some airships or blimps are using the MHD. So that means the MHD-using aerial systems might not be heavier-than-air. 

There are theories that some UFOs are using the MHD or MDD (Magneto dynamic drive). The MDD means that the MHD is not limited to water. Theoretically, it's possible to make magneto dynamic ion-based propulsion where the air will ionize at the front of the aircraft. And then the magnets at the aircraft's wings will pull ions over them. That kind of electromagnetic propeller might be interesting because that allows the making of the ion shell for aircraft. And that in the shell will turn to the ion stealth system. 

But the fact is this the MHD-driven aerial systems might not be heavier than air. The blimps or modern airships can also use ion engines. That means the conventional airship could ionize air at the front of its route, and then the ions will be driven to the back of the airship. The disk-shaped blimp can also ionize the gas in the middle of it. And then the radially installed magnetic accelerators drive ions in the wanted direction. The system might not allow the airship to fly very fast. But it allows it to transfer its position silently without propellers.

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
