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.

When robots are laughing and crying.

When robots are laughing and crying.  Does the AI have feelings?  Does the AI have feelings? Or can it be emphatic? The fact is this program code that controls the AI determines if it can give empathic reactions. The problem with the human nervous system is that we don't make a difference in the writing of empathic letters or telling empathic stories human or AI. Our nervous system is not adapted to AI yet. And that's why we cannot separate text written by AI from text that made by humans.  What does somebody make with AI that can emulate feelings? The fact is that the cyborgs are useful tools for infiltration operations. The human-size robots can have WLAN/6G connections with the central computers. Or they can form a neural network that shares information between all group members. The robots can also act as walking neural network-based supercomputers. That can make complicated solutions.  In those networks, each member shares information and their data-handling capacity all o

Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization

    Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization The Earth 2.0 or officially Kepler-452b is locating extreme log distance from Earth(1).    A new Earth-type planet has been found near the star, which is similar to our own Sun. The journey to that planet would take 1400 years, even if the spacecraft will reach the speed of the light. The planet has been found in the year 2008, but the confirmation of the existence of that planet has been taken time, but in 2015 the confirmation has been got, and Earth 2.0 has turned true.  The mass of that planet is 1,9 times Earth and the temperature is excellent if we are thinking about liquid water, but the journey to that planet will take so long, that we cannot ever go in there by using regular rockets and technology. The thing is that this kind of planets are the most interesting if we are looking for the lifeforms, which are similar to us, and the problem with that kind of things is that the communicatio

Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission

  Image I Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission 1) Tunguska UFO-theory  Tunguska meteorite is the mystery, that has been solved once, but then the case has been open again because Lake Cheko was not suitable for an impact crater. That lake has been introducing as an impact crater of the Tunguska meteorite. But the problem is that the shape of that lake is like a swimming pool. And that means it cannot form by a meteorite. So the mystery remains.  Meteorites can launch the natural nuclear fission if they hit the uranium ore, and transfer the impact energy to that ore. And is the thing that the famous "Tunguska" meteorite caused that kind of effect? There is also a theory that some "UFO" explode in that area, but the thing is that it is only theory, but interesting topics for some TV-series.  So I will begin this text by handling that theory, which is one of the incredible and outstanding theories in the world. Officially there is no physical evidence of
