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.

There are new hidden abilities in light.

“Scientists have discovered that light can naturally develop a hidden 'handedness' as it travels through empty space, without the need for special materials or lenses. Credit: SciTechDaily.com” (ScitechDaily, Scientists Uncover “Astonishing” Hidden Property of Light) In the beginning, I must say that some light’s hidden properties can turn visible only in vacuums and extremely low temperatures. In a very clean space, there are no free gas atoms. And in spaces. There is a quantum oscillation. It is on the lowest possible level. At normal temperature and pressure. Things like the scattering effect can hide those properties.  The light has the ability to jump, spin, and change its direction without the use of mirrors or other optical devices. This is what makes light special. At this point, I must say that there are no new abilities in light. But. New tools make it possible to use. Those abilities. For many types of technology. Spinning light can offer a big advance. To the commun...

Hidden order in quantum entropy can endanger the quantum network.

"Physicists have uncovered hidden magnetic patterns lurking inside a puzzling state of matter called the pseudogap, which appears just before certain materials become superconductors. Credit: Shutterstock. (ScitechDaily, Superconductivity Breakthrough: Hidden Order Found Inside Quantum Chaos) We know the thing. Superconductivity makes objects levitate. That levitation is known as the Meissner effect. The effect is formed when all atoms in the system are in the same way. In a very low temperature. Those atoms are in the same quantum field. Because atoms are inside one collective quantum field, that thing makes it possible to push that quantum field up. And because that field is forming a collective bubble that moves the entire object up. In a superconducting wire, the atoms are. Under one collective quantum field. Because electricity travels in that field. There doesn’t form standing waves, and that denies the resistance.  In the Meissner effect, the electromagnetic fields trav...

Tutkielma kirjasta Bram Stokerin Dracula

Kauhukirjojen klassikko, joka toimii vielä nykyäänkin monen kauhuelokuvan innoittajana. Se kertoo transsivanialaisesta vampyristä, joka muuttaa Englantiin, ja menettää siellä henkensä. Stoker on tietenkin tehnyt tuosta ”yön valtiaasta” hyvin voimakkaan hahmon, joka kuitenkaan ei siedä esimerkiksi valkosipulia eikä myöskään kykene koskettamaan hopeaa. Kyseinen kirjailija on siis osoittanut vastuuntuntoa, ja tehnyt ”vampyyri-testin” tekemisestä mahdollisimman vaarattoman, jotta ainakaan kukaan syytön ei kuitenkaan vahingoittuisi, vaikka joku nuori sitten alkaisi uskoa näihin verenimijöihin. Kuitenkin uskoisin että Bram Stoker on halunnut kuvata rikollista, joka säälittä käyttää muita hyväkseen, ja sitten pakenee maansa hallituksen turviin, missä hän kuvittelee olevansa turvassa kostolta. Eli viittaus kreiviin merkitsee varoitusta siitä, että koskaan ei saa kehenkään luottaa sokeasti. Ja ehkä Bram Stokerin mielessä on kuvio, missä Dracula selittää Harkerille aikovansa rakenta...
