The Soviet laser tank

Above this text is a picture of the strange-looking vehicle, what is actually the Soviet laser tank. The purpose of this vehicle is to blind enemy satellites and destroy them at the low earth orbiter. The laser light can destroy satellites CCD-cameras and that system is used to cover military secrets in some military installations. The purpose of that system was to deny the satellites to take photographs of some areas. And in theory that was very effective. But in the real life, the problem was, that laser blinding increased the interests of some targets, and they were photographed more intensive than before.


The laser tank is equipped with multiple lasers, what gives the limited energy pulse, and the idea of this system is similar to some rockets, what have small engines, but the number of the engines is bigger. In some Russian rockets is 25 motors installed in those systems, and that should compensate the smaller power of the system. The use of the laser tank looks like some kind of disco-light, where the system switches the lasers simultaneous because that would help to keep the temperature down.


The problem with this technology, where is used multiple small size lasers is that the fog, dust, and clouds would absorb the power of the lasers, and the radiation of those lasers would not be targeted in the same place. When we are thinking about the shape of this laser-system, we might imagine, that today is more advanced laser weapons, that this laser-tank ever could be.


There is the possibility that some of the modern main battle tanks are equipped with powerful laser- or microwave systems, what are mounted to the place of the cannon or radars. Those high power lasers are looking like the normal artillery cannon, but they shoot targets with electromagnetic radiation. The problem with lasers is the cooling system, and the laser must equip with powerful coolers, or it would overheat.


The laser and microwave systems can be used to make the targeted unit's armor softer, and explore the elements of reactive armor away, what gives more effect to own anti-tank weapons. The directed energy weapons would be very effective against satellites and aircraft. Also, they might give the very good option for directed shooting weapons like anti-tank guns.

Antigravity will be the greatest thing. That we have ever created.

"Artistic depiction of a fictional anti-gravity vehicle" (Wikipedia, Anti-gravity) Sometimes, if the airships have the same lifting power as the weight of the airship.  It can act like some “antigravity system”. Those systems are based on lighter-than-air gas or hot air. The system can have a helium tank. And the hot-air section whose temperature can be adjusted using microwaves or particles that lasers warm. Those systems are faster to control than some gas flames. This makes it possible. To adjust the lifting power.  If a thing like a balloon has the same lifting power as its weight, the balloon can be lifted to a certain point and altitude. And the balloon stands at that point until something moves it. That kind of thing can make an impression. On the antigravity systems. Modern airships. Like Lockheed-Martin P-791 can look. Like a “UFO”. The system can use systems to move the craft. Or maybe those ion systems are used for plasma stealth systems, if those airships' mis...

The first test flight of X-59 QueSST

The X-59 QueSST (Quiet Supersonic Technology) demonstrator is the next generation of aircraft design. The QueSST technology means. The aircraft creates a gentler sonic boom. Because its wings are radically long and narrow delta wings, and its nose is also radically long, which makes the sonic pressure cone thinner. That technology makes the sonic boom quieter.  The QueSST technology in X-59 is a new and radical design. All of those systems are caricatures. And the final solutions might look far different than the prototypes. The QueSST technology is one of the things. That is planned to be used. It is used in military and civil applications. If that technology is successful. It can be used in manned and unmanned systems. But that requires more work.  The X-59 also uses fundamental technology. Where the pilot must not have windows. To see outside. The camera and other sensors replace traditional windows. And that can be useful in more advanced aircraft that operate at hypersoni...

The theory about paralleled universes

http://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.fi/p/the-theory-about-paralleled-universes.html Kimmo Huosionmaa There is the quite unknown theory about paralleled universes. In this theory, there is not a single universe. Universes are like pearls in the pearl necklace, and there could be the connection between those universes. The connection to other universes would make possible the channel what is forming when the black hole would make the gravity tunnel to another universe. And in the paralleled universe theory, there could be millions of universes in the line, and this is also known as "Multiverse-theory". This theory was established when the galaxy-groups were noticed by astronomers. In that time were noticed that there are so-called super-groups of the galaxy, and those super-groups, where we're so much galaxy that galaxy involved stars made some cosmologists think that maybe there is also groups of universes in the emptiness. This kind of structures is so enormo...
