The Red October and the weapons of mass destruction




The Red October and the weapons of mass destruction

When we are thinking about the "Typhoon-class" (1) submarine, which is armed with 20 SS-N-20 "Sturgeon" (2) missiles, we are sometimes forgetting that the firepower of this kind of missiles is extremely high, that kind of SLBM (Submarine Launch Ballistic Missile) is not so powerful as somebody might think. Have you seen the movie "The Hunt For Red October"? In that movie, the Soviet "Typhoon-class" nuclear submarine and its captain would defect to the USA? 

The idea of this film is that the submarine itself would be the silent killer, which takes the nuclear warheads near the coasts of the USA. But in real fife Typhoon has fewer missiles than U.S Navy's "Ohio class" (3) submarine, which has 24 "Trident D-5" (4)nuclear missiles. The main role in this movie has a nuclear submarine that uses the MDD (Magnetic Hydrodynamic Drive) for the propulsion. 

That propulsion that uses the same principle with the particle accelerator, the magnets would pull the ions in the tubes, where the magnet track or Gauss-track would accelerate that ionized water through that track. And that thing allows the submarine to move with extremely high speed because MDD would not depend on the rotating or otherwise moving parts, which means that the water can be pulled in the tube by using extremely high voltage magnets. 

The other thing, that might give an extremely silent run for the submarine is the series of propellers, which are put in the tube. That kind of propulsion, what is called "tunnel propellers" is used in the ships and boats, which needs to drive in the area, where there are lots of stones or water plants. But how deadly this kind of submarine can be? 

If the submarine would be equipped with the hull, what is made by antimagnetic material like chromium-nickel, titanium, or chrome steel, that submarine cannot be detected by using the MAD (Magnetic Anomaly Detector)(5). From the year 1968 to 1984, the Soviet Navy made 7 Alfa (6)class titanium hulled submarines, which was called the best or at least the fastest submarines on earth. 

Then the Western intelligence thought that there was something, what was an even bigger thing than Alfa could ever be. In real life, that thing was ever found, but there were some rumors that the titanium- or some other way antimagnetic hulled version of the Typhoon class submarines. The fact is that the new magnetic system has been introduced in technical magazines, and the thing was that this system can be installed in the submarines.

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...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
