The wheel-shaped laser satellite.


 


The wheel-shaped laser satellite. 


But then we can think another version of the free-electron laser, which might be very impressive. The idea of this kind of system is that the middle laser is quite small or short. Energy to the central laser would be pumped by using the other lasers, and that kind of system can make more powerful rays than the regular lasers. 


The form of the system is the wheel or the small-size cyclotron where electrons are curving. The light would be conducted in the middle of the wheel, and then the system can send the laser ray to the target. Sometimes the wheel-form laser satellite has been introduced one version of the killer-satellite, and it can send extremely powerful rays to the target.

Free-electron lasers 


What makes free-electron lasers interesting? The free-electron laser is the particle accelerator, where the electron is traveling with a curving trajectory. The curving movement makes the electron release the photon, and that makes this system an effective laser for many purposes. 


But the problem is that the powerful free-electron lasers are very large tools because the system requires the long linear accelerator. If we would send that particle accelerator to the orbiting trajectory, the free-electron laser can be made by using the telescope-structure. 


In this case, the structure of the particle accelerator will be the push in the small size like a telescopic baton, and when the rocket is in the trajectory, the particle accelerator will be open to full length. Of course, the gas lasers like carbon monoxide lasers can blow in the full length by using pressurized gas, but the thing is that the free-electron lasers are less sensitive for leaks and impacts than the gas-lasers. 


Gas-lasers can also send outside the atmosphere


The thing in free-electron lasers is that they are also operating in the larger temperature areas, and that means that the extremely low temperature doesn't make the laser non-operational. The problem with gas lasers is that the gas would be frozen in ice, in the temperature, what are near zero kelvin. This thing happens on the night side of the Earth when satellite orbits Earth outside the atmosphere. And in extreme heat at the dayside of the Earth, the rising pressure would cause problems. 


And that makes systems like gas lasers more complicated than free-electron lasers. But the thing is that if we would send the gas laser to the orbiter we can send by packed to small size, and then blow the gas in it. And this means that the gas lasers would be more flexible systems than the solid laser systems, which cannot push in small size in the launch.

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...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...

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...
