Bussard ramjet and the ion jet engines

Bussard ramjet

One of the most interesting versions of the futuristic interstellar rockets that theorists have invented is the so-called Bussard ramjet. In that system, the magnetic funnel would pull the ions from the space to the track, where the lasers would ignite the fusion reaction. If the spacecraft would have an aerodynamic body, that thing allows it to fly in the atmosphere.

The thing is that the same system can also work as WARP-drive and the normal hypersonic scramjet. The regular scramjet engines might look like the "Buzzard ramjet", and there is a possibility that the spacecraft of the future would use the combinations of the normal, hydrogen-burning scramjet, where is connected the WARP or fusion system, what allows them to operate at the solar system.

The ion jet engines

 

The ion jet engine or the electromagnetic ramjet can work undersea and airborne devices. The idea is simple. Air or water would be ionized at the front of the system, and then the magnetic track would drive those ions through it.

The ion jet engine is not the same thing as a cathode engine. The cathode engine uses an electron ray to giving thrust. The ion jet engine has a more powerful thrust than the cathode engine, and it can operate also in the atmosphere if the density and power of the ions are high enough. The ion jet engine uses ions, what the system would pull through the channel.

There is a possibility to install the magnetic system, what would press the ions together, and the laser that starts the fusion. This kind of engine system would need external energy like high-power turbines or nuclear reactor for maintaining the fusion reaction. Or maybe in the future, the energy for that kind of system can deliver by using some kind of energy rays.

The electric jet engine is one of the most impressive systems in the world. The system itself doesn't require internal fuel if the electricity can deliver to the system by using some other method like maser rays or some other kind of radiation. The ion jet engine would ionize the gas, what comes in the engine at the front, and then the engine would have the opposite rotating magnets around the jet pipe, what will accelerate the ionized gas in that tube, what would give very good speed to the exhaust gas.

There could be two linear tubes in that engine, and the magnets would accelerate the pls and minus polar ions in the same direction. The thing is that this kind of system would not require the moving parts, and when we are thinking that the acceleration tubes would also give the system able to operate as the WARP or magneto dynamic drive, that thing could give the airplane ability what is missing from other similar systems. That aircraft can operate as well as underwater and airborne conditions if that aircraft can have a suitable power source.

The thing is that the ion engine can operate as well as a weapon like an engine. If the target would load by using the opposite mark electricity than ions, it would pull them to it. The electromagnetic engine is one of the most fascinating ideas ever got. The remarkable thing is that the electromagnetic engine can work if it is connected with the rocket engine. In this model, the electromagnetic engine would install in the rockets combustion chamber, and the pumping system would give electricity to the ion engine. The ions can pump to the chamber by using the tube, which is going through the rocket.

So that kind of system could be a very multipurpose tool, which can have many abilities. The problem is how to get the electricity to that engine. This is the thing, that makes the system hard to make.

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...

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...
