Plasma engines are the next-generation tools.

Microwave plasma systems can be new tools for fusion technology. Microwaves heat the gas or other material and turn it into plasma. Magnets drive anion and ion plasma together. And that should create fusion. Microwave-magnet systems should make fusion possible in Tokamak-type fusion reactors. 

However, linear accelerators that drive anions and ions together can open the path to the entire solar system. The pulsed plasma fusion reactors impact ions and anions in the rocket's combustion chamber. But plasma engines are powerful tools even without fusion. The magnetic field that makes plasma levitate in the rocket chamber is the tool. That can make it possible to increase the plasma's temperature. 

In plasma rocket. Lasers or microwaves heat plasma in the combustion chamber.  The plasma system can use magnetic tracks to drive plasma backward. But that magnetic system is not necessary. The expanding plasma can give thrust to the rocket without the magnetic drive. 

Controlling the pulsed plasma rockets' flight to Mars and other planets is theoretically quite easy. The ion and plasma systems can create weak thrust. And that is one argument against the electrostatic engine systems. In some visions, the ion engine sends ions to the sail or plate at the front of the craft. 




Above: Plasma rocket engine. In some models system sends gas into the track. Then laser or microwave beams ionize that gas. And then the system drives that plasma backward. 

The plasma engine can give thrust to the solar sail. In that system, the ion engine will send ions to the solar sail at the front of the craft. 

The craft can be connected to the solar sail. Then at the begin of the journey, the solar sail gives speed to that craft. And when the distance to the sun increases the ion system can start to shoot ions or plasma to the solar sail. That will act like a fan that blows air to sail in Donald Duck strip. 

In some visions, interplanetary spacecraft can slow its speed for orbiting trajectory using the brake parachute. The rocket opens the parachute behind it. And then the engine presses against that parachute. The system can use things like variable chamber geometry. When plasma or ions that give minimum energy push forward shoot ions to parachute. It creates a counterforce that slows the rocket's speed. 

High-power plasma jet engines can be powerful engine systems for aircraft.  In electric jet engines, the electric arc expands air in the combustion chamber. In plasma jet engines the system uses ionized gas to make thrust. The ionized gas can hover without contact in the combustion chambers. And that allows it to increase its power. 

The plasma systems can also used as stealth and anti-missile systems. In some visions, high-speed drones or aircraft can fly between bombers and ground. Those drones create the plasma layer that denies the radar impulses to travel through the plasma layer.

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...
