Short writing about the ultra-fast flying machines.




Short writing about the ultra-fast flying machines.

Ramjets(1)

When we are thinking about the ramjets and other hypersonic engines, the problem with those engines is that they must get enough speed before the fuel injection starts. Those engines are only tubes, where is no supercharger or other moving parts in that thing. Those systems need a certain speed for creating enough pressure and temperature for inflaming the fuel. 

The speed of that thing is mentioned to be something between 650 to 1000 kilometers per hour. And here I must say that the speed of Mach I is normally used speed when the fuel injection to the motor will be started. That will make sure that the system will start to burn fuel. In those high-speed systems, normal fuel is hydrogen, which is high inflamed material. The pollution of those systems is only water, and that makes hydrogen promising fuel for high-speed aviation. 

There have been tested also turbine-ramjets(2), but those engines have problems with the rotating speed of the turbine because high speeds like Mach 4-5 are causing that the turbine rotor would start to rotate so fast. And also rocket-hybrid versions of ramjets are created. In those motors is normally flaps ahead of the engine, which closes the intake hole, and then the oxygen would start to inject to the motor from internal tanks. 

Regular ramjets need about the speed of Mach 1 for starting, and in some airplane designs, the speed of the aircraft would be accelerated by using regular turbojets. Then the flap would close the engine. compressors face, that it would not start to rotate too fast. Regular ramjet engines are effective for the speed of Mach 6, and then the system can turn to use scramjets. That thing is the ramjet engine, which is specially designed to reach extremely hypersonic speed. Those engines can be started only when the speed of Mach 5 has been reached, and that thing makes those engines difficult to create. 

Scramjets (3)

When we are thinking about the structure of the scramjet engine, they are only tubes, where is the curve, what mission is to heat the air. The thing, that makes the creation of this kind of engines really interesting is that they allow extremely high-speed flight in the atmosphere and that increases the payload of the craft. The rocket engine needs internal storage for the oxygenase element. And if the oxygen can be taken from the air, that thing can release the room for cargo. 

There is a possibility to make a scramjet engine, where is the smaller air inlet than exhaust tube, and if inside the motor is the iron or carbon fiber wire, that thing can make the fundamental concept for the high-speed flight. Carbon fiber allows us to increase the temperature of this structure, and the electric resistors can also use to warm this structure. Also, the hydrogen can inject the engine from ahead and that will make possible to make the engine more effective. There might be many lines of those wires in the engine, which makes sure that ignition will be made at the right point.

The wire would warm when the high-speed air goes through the air channel and that thing can ignite the fuel at the right point. But when we are thinking about the acceleration of the speed of that kind of aircraft, at the first the ramjet or scramjet engine can operate as a normal rocket. In this model in the combustion chamber would inject fuel, which could be hydrogen and pressurized air, which makes that motor acting like a rocket. 

And when the speed of the vehicle is rise high enough the flap ahead it will open, and the system can let the air flowing inside it. This kind of craft can also rise above the atmosphere and in that case, it can turn to use internal oxygen for its motors. The electricity for craft can be made by using a windmill turbogenerator or fuel cells. And that thing is needed for the avionics and other computer systems of the aircraft.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...
