An electric jet engine can be the next revolution for aircraft.



 

An electric jet engine can be the next revolution for aircraft.

The electric jet engine means the engine, which will create thrust by using electric arc, and that thing doesn't require the fuel at all. Sometimes also plasma engines are mentioned as electric engines.  In some models, the plasma is formed at the front of the engine, and then the magnetic field will pull it backward. 

But the term "electric jet engine" means an engine, which uses only electricity to make thrust. So the systems can use plasma, but they can also be more traditional-looking engines, which are using electric arcs in the combustion chamber for creating the pressure, which is normally created by using the burning fuel. 

Or the thrust of the engine can increase by injecting water or hydrogen in the combustion chamber, which allows the aircraft, what uses this kind of system fly to the orbital trajectory. In that case, the engine compressor will be closed by using a hatch, and the hydrogen will inject into the combustion chamber. 

The electric jet engine needs electricity to create the electric arc, and sometimes people think that this thing requires a nuclear reactor. But there is a possibility that this kind of aircraft can charge its battery wirelessly by using powerful radio waves. 

The high-voltage chemical batteries can be the high-voltage capacitors, which are cooled to a temperature that is quite near the zero kelvin degrees. The electric jet engine can be the system, what is used in the next generation small-size spacecraft, what is diving to the atmospheres of the giant planets and their moons. But those engines can also allow that the aircraft or drone can fly even weeks if the electric supply is confirmed. 

The electric storage capacity of that kind of aircraft can increase by installing wind generators and solar panels on the wings and in the body of the craft, and that thing can improve the operational range. The aircraft cannot be a perpetual motion machine, but if it will rise to the low Earth orbiter, the batteries of that system can load by using solar panels, and that thing gives those engines a very high capacity. 

Also when the craft will dive into the atmosphere it can load the batteries by using windmills, and that thing would make the electric jet engines more powerful and multipurpose tools than any engine before. Maybe this system is not ready yet, but it can be the engine of tomorrow.

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...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...
