The ion-jet engine

    



The ion-jet engine

The ion jet engine is one of the WARP-based systems for the futuristic spacecraft. The engine is the Scramjet or Ramjet which uses the ions that are pulled through it creating the thrust. So this type of engine is the next-generation solution for aviation. It can operate in and out of the atmosphere.

The ion-jet engine can make the real-life X-wing fighter possible. The idea of the WARP is simple. The airflow through the engine can make by using the magnets that are at the front of the engine channel. Then the air will ionize, and then the magnetic tracks will pull those particles through the channel. The electric arc can use to increase the pressure of the system, and that kind of thing can make the real-life X-wing fighter possible to make at least in some form.

The WARP- or electromagnetic jet-engine could have the ability to fly interplanetary missions and also operate in the atmosphere of other planets. The ion-ramjet doesn't need a propellant, and it can be connected with a nuclear engine. So that kind of system can use in the Russian new "Burevestnik" nuclear-powered missile. Or it can be a very useful engine solution for the new nuclear powered hypersonic shuttles, which can operate at the Earth orbiter or in the atmosphere.

The ion technology can make Ramjet and Scramjet engines operate at airfields.

Ramjets and Scramjets are the engines, which are making the hypersonic speed possible. But the problem with those engines is that they need very high speed to start. The Ramjet engine requires about Mach 1 and Scramjet requires about Mach 5-7 for starting the engine and that thing makes those engines a little bit complicated to use. Of course, the acceleration of the aircraft can make by using stages. The first stage is the regular jet engines, which are accelerating the plane to the speed of Mach 1, and then the ramjet engine will start.

The ramjet will accelerate the vehicle to speed what is the near speed of Mach 6 and then the Scramjet will start. The problem with this system is that it's somehow complicated. One answer is the turbo-ramjet, where the jet engine is inside the Ramjet engine, and when the system is accelerated to speed, what is high enough, that thing will give the aircraft extremely high speed.

The engine compressor must just equip with the iris, which closes the airflow. That denies the damages to the turbine what is causing by the centripetal forces.

The other thing is to put the flap at the front of the Scramjet or Ramjet engine which will allow using the same system as the rocket chamber and the engine, which uses the oxygen from the atmosphere for combustion. The system is an improved version of the flap engine, that is used in the German V-1 flying bomb system during WWII.

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. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. 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...
