Russian navy will get nuclear-capable hypersonic cruise missiles. 


Putin says that the Russian navy will get hypersonic, nuclear-armed cruise missiles, and that means there is nothing new under the sun. Why Russians would research those weapons for years if they would not want to take them in production and place them in their warships? Hypersonic cruise missiles (HCM) will give the extremely high combat capacity for the navies, what operates them. And Russia is not only a nation, what develops that kind of weapons. 


In the countries, that are developing those weapons navy seems to be the prime operator for those systems, which are the scramjet-propellant extreme fast missiles. Those missiles are flying in the atmosphere lower level than ballistic missiles and their trajectory is gentler, which makes them extremely hard for defense. And the thing is that hypersonic cruise missiles would give powerful strike capacity for every warship in the Russian navy or every other navy what operates them. 


So why the navy is the prime operator for those missiles? The answer is that the scramjet-engine would have the best effect if it uses liquid hydrogen. Storing that very cold fuel is difficult, and the hydrogen hydration system is easy to install in the warships. The system can separate the hydrogen from water, and then the cooler would turn it to liquid form. 


The system is really easy to install, and it can create the liquid hydrogen to the tank, where it can pump to missiles. That system would make the missiles safe and fast to use. When the battle begins the fuel tank of the missiles would be filled, and if they are not used, the hydrogen can be removed and release to the air. 


The cooling system can also be used to low the temperature of the core of warship and submarines, which makes those vessels hard to detect by using infrared. And the low-temperature structures are protecting the ship against electromagnetic weapons. The impact energy of the hypersonic cruise missile will be extremely high. The speed of the ammunition of GAU-8 "Avenger" cannon is Mach 1,5. The speed of the HCM is about Mach 6-12 and the weight is much higher. 


When we are thinking about the HCM is that system can have the microwave generator, what mission is to destroy the electronic systems of the target. If the nuclear weapon of that missile would be planned to detonate by the impact the detonation is sure. If the impact energy will detonate the plutonium and the only thing that can cause a problem is the rising temperature of the nose, which can detonate the warhead before the target.


In this case, the missiles would be acting as the giant uranium bullet, but the detonation is more powerful. But otherwise adjusting the nuclear warhead for those missiles is difficult. The thing is that the HCM can act also as the kinetic energy missile, which can destroy every ship on the sea by using impact energy.

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.

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...
