Another cathode engine, the X-ray rocket motor


The X-ray engine is one of the hypothetical transportation systems for interstellar engines. The capacity of this type of engine is the reason because the engine pushes and pulls at the same time. The idea of the X-ray engine is similar to other cathode-ray based rocket systems. 

----------------------------------------------




The diagram of the X-ray engine


1) Anode 

2) Electron flow

3) Electron cannon 

4) X-ray radiation. 


There are two versions of the X-ray engine. 


1) The cathode system, what is mounted internally in the spacecraft. The electrons would shoot to an anode, and then that thing will send the X-rays backward. And that makes the engine acting as a photon rocket. 

But the anode is working like the sail in sailing ships. When electrons are hitting it, it would increase the thrust, because electrons are pulling the craft forward. 

2) The external particle accelerators. The electrons that are shot from the particle accelerators can pull to the metal plate, which is creating the X-rays by loading the positive electric load.

---------------------------

But in this model, the electrons would hit the cathode, which is acting like a rag. And the electrons are pushing the craft forward. The thing that would give the extra thrust is the X-ray radiation that goes backward of the system. This kind of engine would open the road to the solar system. There are two models of this engine. 

The engine what bases the cathode ray, what based the system, what is mount in the craft itself. The recoil of the electrons must minimize when they are leaving the cathode tube, and hit the anode. The second version is the system, where the cathode rays are shot from the particle accelerators, and then they would pull to the layer that gives the X-rays by turning the plate into an anode. So if the plate has a positive electric load, that would pull the electrons to it, and that will send the X-rays backward.

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...

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...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...
