The solar wind can give ideas for new types of ion engines.

The Parker solar probe found a new magnetic field on the Sun, that pushes plasma to a speed,  higher than the escaping velocity. And that magnetic pushing effect is one of the things. That creates the solar wind. The solar wind is the particle flow out from the sun. The magnetic field that pushes ions to speed that makes those particles travel out from the sun's gravitational field is an interesting tool for maglev (Magnetic levitation system). 

Normal maglev technology uses the repel of the same polar magnets that push objects above the ground. The problem with traditional maglev systems is this. They are connected with fixed platforms like railroads and other surfaces. The magnets are on that platform. And then they will push the craft or train up. 

The ion-based maglev systems give freedom and make the craft free from platforms. The idea is simple. The system creates the plasma (ionized gas) cloud under it. The thing that makes the plasma could be laser-ray. Or it could be some other type of electromagnetic system. The idea is that the system creates a cushion or plasma could that acts like repelling magnets. 



The system can create the mono-ion field by separating anions from that field by using magnets. The system must drive those anions to the point where they have minimum effect on the thing. That must levitate. This kind of system that use external plasma fields can drive the crafts at a very high speed. The surface plasmon polaritons can push ionized gas away from the aircraft's route. 

In that case, the polaritons are in the aerodynamic pike. But there is a possibility that this kind of system can make the plasma wave behind the aircraft. The idea of that system is that another ion system pushes plasma to that ion wave. 

Then those ions reflect from the plasma and give thrust to the system. This kind of plasma pulse system uses two tracks. The first track pulls ions over the surface of the craft. And focus them behind it. Then another plasma system shoots another ion flow to that ion wave. The system can be installed in a saucer-shaped craft. And by using routers the system can adjust the place of the ion wave. And reflecting ions will shoot to that wave by using radially installed ion cannons. 

Along with surface plasmon polaritons, the system can make this kind of technology more effective. The idea is that the surface plasmon polaritons are pushing the plasma away from the shell. In some of the most futuristic ideas, the surface plasmon polariton can use to turn things like water molecules in the same position. And that allows to create the mono-frequent EM waves on the shell.

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. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. 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
