Hydrogen is one of the most promising aircraft fuels.



Aircraft can use hydrogen in fuel cells. Fuel cells can give electricity to the electric engines that rotate propellers. Or they can give electricity to electric jet engines. In electric jet engines. Electric arcs heat air, and the expansion of air or some propellant pushes aircraft forward. Or, the aircraft can use hydrogen in its turbines or some more exotic engines like ramjets. Aircraft companies like Airbus and some other aircraft manufacturers test hydrogen as the turbine fuel. 

Hydrogen is one of the most interesting fuels for next-generation aircraft that travel faster than ever. Hydrogen fuel is the key element in the new scramjet and ramjet-driven aircraft. Futuristic hypersonic systems can reach speeds over Mach 20.  Today the safe top speed of those aircraft that use air-breathe hypersonic aircraft is about Mach 5-6.  

Hydrogen is easy to get, and the way to produce hydrogen determines how ecological that fuel can be. The electrolytic systems require electricity, and electricity is a critical thing in hydrogen production. Another way is to filter hydrocarbon gas using active carbon filters. The hydrogen is ecological and it's easy to get. 

And that means hydrogen is an interesting fuel from the military point of view. The aircraft carriers and submarines can give electricity to electrolytic chambers. Hydrogen-driven turbojets and other aircraft engines make it possible to maintain aerial operations without limits. In those systems, the aircraft carriers can make hydrogen for their aircraft using electrolysis. Along with laser weapons, those hydrogen-powered engines give new capacity to naval air wings. 




The film above tells what the 1962 Sea Dragon concept could look like. 

The ability to use hydrogen as fuel in rockets. Make it possible to create larger and more capable rockets than ever before. Those ultra-large rockets that can be a little bit like canceled Sea Dragon can be systems, that can transport nuclear reactor-driven rockets like Mars craft to orbiter.

In those systems, the nuclear reactors and fuel will be launched to the Moon orbiter where the reactor will be loaded with fissile material. Those large rockets can transport heavy cargo from seaborne launching positions to orbiters. In plans, tugs pull the large rocket to the sea. The crew connects those rockets to the electrolysis chamber. 

The chamber can be in a buoy where the nuclear-powered submarines or other vessels input electricity. There the electrolysis system creates fuel and oxygen for large rockets. The rocket engine can use water injection to increase thrust.

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...
