Plasma pulses and aircraft survivability

Ions engine as cosmic heat air balloon

When we talk about things like plasma-ion engines, we forget that plasma-ion engines are ion cannons. The ion cloud's density is what determines if the engine is an ion- or plasma-ion engine. Low-density ion flow is an ion engine. High-density ion flow is a plasma-ion engine. The principle of those systems is that the ions will shoot through the particle accelerator.

And the problem is weak thrust in electrostatic thrusters. The weak thrust is the reason for the weak push against the front wall of the engine chamber. The answer to that thing would be the system that shoots ions into the middle of the engine from the sides, or the ion cannon, which can shoot ions at very dense metal plates. In that system, the ion engine pushes against the metal sail. The system functions similarly to a heat-air balloon, with the ion system operating in the opposite direction as usual. The idea for that system is taken from a Donald Duck strip where Donald sits in a boat and pushes air to sail by using a fan.

Originally, this image portrayed an antimatter engine. But it can also portray the ion engine that shoots ions at very dense metal plates. The idea is that the system uses thrust asymmetry. The pushing effect of that system is stronger from the front of the craft. And that thing makes it possible to move that craft through space.

We've all heard about plasma weapons.

Some plasma weapons are systems that cover an area with a plasma layer. The idea is that the plasma layer will prevent radiowaves from traveling through it. But laser systems can make information travel through those plasma layers.

If the aircraft can form a plasma pulse behind it, that system can make it possible to create new types of plasmoid and ion weapons. Researchers made tests where plasma pulses replaced the normal jamming torches of the aircrew. Those ion clouds or ion pulses can destroy an incoming missile's electronics. In some models, fast-flying drones or aircraft form an ion layer between the aircraft and a ground-based radar system. The idea is that the ion cloud will just block the radar from seeing through it.

There are models where GPS is jammed by using plasma layers. The problem is that the plasma layer denies all other radar-based communication through it. In some SDI (Space Defense Initiative) plans, the radar system creates a plasma layer between incoming missiles and denies radar echoes from ground areas.

The ion curtain between target and incoming missiles denies the ability to use radars, and that's why there are research programs for Lidar "laser radars" and optical area data communication.

The reason why radio is such a popular communication tool is simple. Radio waves travel through the walls. In some models, the hollow laser ray will cover the radio waves. The plasma will not disturb laser systems as much as it disturbs radio communication. In that model, either a laser or radio signal transports information to the goal.

But the problem with laser communication is that it will not pass the wall. The information travels in multi-layer radio-maser rays. The X- and gamma-ray lasers are tools that allow communication through walls. Also, terahertz-radiation-based communication could be the next-generation tool.

But there is a possibility that those plasma clouds will impact incoming missiles and aircraft. In that system, the target is loaded with the opposite polarity. That thing pulls that plasma to the target.

Normally, ion cannons are not dangerous because they use monopolar ions. But if there is an anion beam in the middle of the ion flow, that thing keeps those ions in one form. And that thing makes ion cannons able to operate at long range. Ion beams are the ultimate tools. Ions cannot travel through the wall without harming it. But when ions stop, they release their energy as the photon pulse.

That thing makes it possible to use ions as a light baton. Ion beams can also travel through walls, and if there is some target, the system can stop ions at the precise right point. And that makes ions transport their energy to that target. Stopping can happen by using a crossing ion beam or a very accurate magnetic beam. In that version, the ion cannon is equipped with an opposite-polar magnetic system that pulls ions or anions backward.

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.

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
