Can aircraft use electric power the same way with a car?



Can aircraft use electric power the same way with a car?


Why green energy is so interesting thing when we are trying to predict the future of aviation?


Why green power interests the people, who are working with the long-enduring systems. The answer is that green energy is safer than nuclear power, and the solar panels are not causing threat even the manned aircraft or drone is dropping from the skies. Also, green power can create in the place, where that drone operates, and that means that the requirement of fuel transportation is decreasing. 


In the world is high-altitude drones, which are using solar panels during normal operations. Those aircraft can use also remote loading systems for their batteries, and that ability gives them very long flight time. And that kind of drone can fly over some area even months. If that drone is created by using stealth material, they are really hard to locate. 


Can electric-powered aircraft be hypersonic? The answer is "yes" but the electric source is problematic. 


Those high-flying dromes can offer communication, surveillance, and other kind of services. They can fly above some area and locate animals and other things, what is moving in the place. They can also fly around some volcano and search the reactions of that mountain, and that data can collect to the database, what is used to create the predictions of the eruptions. 


Even drones would be high-flying they are not probably very big, and if those systems are using radars, high-resolution cameras, and laser microphones, they can search for things, what people are talking in some rooms. The radars can also be used in airborne early warning missions or those drones can also locate underground bunkers. So they are effective systems for intelligence missions. And those drones can point the targets for the smart weapons like guided bombs. 


But can the smaller and more agile systems operate by using the electric motors? Above this text is the new electric-powered "Lilium" aircraft 


There are manned and unmanned propeller aircraft, which are using hybrid technology or electric motors during flight. In the hybrid aircraft is a similar power system, with cars, normally the aircraft will use electric motors but when the batteries are turning low, the internal generator of electric cells, what is creating electricity for those batteries. The plane can also be covered by using a silicone layer, which increases the flight time. 


Electric motors are giving the aircraft very silent sound, and that means that it would not disturb people or animals. And those lightweight cargo platforms can take researchers to some rough road areas and take them back. Those systems are silent and easy to operate if there is electric power in use.


The electric engine is silent


And this is why military forces are interesting in this kind of system. If the small-size VTOL-aircraft would be equipped with small anti-tank missiles like RBS-56 "Bill" and lightweight machine guns they can be used as lightweight attack aircraft. 


But can electric-powered aircraft operate with hypersonic speed? The thing is that the jet engine itself can use even water as the propellant and if in the combustion chamber would be burned electric arc in the place of the combustion chamber. So this kind of system makes possible to create the next-generation jet engine. 


The power source of this kind of electrodynamic jet engine is a mystery, or it cannot execute by using some safe way. The nuclear reactor would be dangerous and the batteries or high-voltage capacitors can give so short term electric arcs that this kind of system is impossible to create by using safe technology. Nuclear power would be very capable, but if the aircraft will drop, the radioactive material would be released in the area, and that is the clear and present danger for national security.

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.

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...
