One improvement for Orion spacecraft

https://avoimenkoodinmaailma.blogspot.com/ Kimmo Huosionmaa The normal rifle could launch Highly Enriched Plutonium or Californium bullets in the back of the craft, and then that ammunition would target the electromagnetic radiation by using the parabolic antenna in the back of the craft. The gun would release the bullet in the middle of the antenna, and the bullet would go thru the focal point of radiation, what would cause the nuclear fission in that piece of the highly enriched nuclear isotope. In this system standard ammunition, that is filled with gunpowder and that would make the structure of that system simpler than some magnetic rails or some other electromagnetic solutions. That would give a more sensitive punch, and makes easier to adjust the speed of the device. Sometimes those bullets were planned to fill with Lithium, and the radiation would be mixed radio and laser rays. In fact, the normal Lithium batteries could be used in that motor. The energy of this spacecraf...

More about nano-size nuclear weapons

Kimmo Huosionmaa There is another way to make very effective but small size detonators, and one of the most interesting ideas is for the small-scale version of the systems, what are used in fusion tests. Those systems would act like a small version of the Sci-Fi movie "Star Wars" "Death Star", where the lasers are the circular form around the pipe, what is also used for the lead laser, what would collect other laser-rays together, and carry them to the target. In this scenario, the weapon would shoot lithium batteries thru that pipe, and then the laser-ray would shoot in the same line, where this pellet would fly. That would cause the fusion detonation. But luckily the needed technology is still very far away from practical solutions. There is theoretically possible to miniaturize the systems, what are used in the laser-test facilities in the portable size. And then the extremely small size fusion weapon could be done. In this case, the technology in that wea...

Fission bullets, the most lethal projectiles in the world

https://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.com/ Kimmo Huosionmaa We all know, how effective depleted uranium ammunition is against armor and this ammunition is used by NATO in various conflicts. There are rumors, that there might be more effective and terrifying bullets existed in Russia, but as we might know, some of the projects, what are claimed to made by Soviet scientists might have the origin in other lands.  Nuclear weapons are a politically sensitive thing. But they are very effective and in theory is possible to make the radioactive bullet, what will destroy an entire building with one shot. And that's why some nuclear weapon projects are outsourced to Russia. In this case would be the thing, what is called "fission bullet", and if it exists, the thing would be the smallest nuclear weapon in the world. This would be made of Californium or some other synthetic highly radioactive element. The idea of those weapons is that they are subcritical, and that makes...

A couple of words of radio-waves and spectroscopy

Spectra of Hydrogen and Helium (Picture I) Kimmo Huosionmaa The most modern radar technology bases the same technology, what is used in the radio astronomy. One of the most interesting parts of this technology is so-called radio-spectrometer, what is used to determine the elements what is in some target. Those echoes can be separated by using Prisma or hila, what would help to get the spectrum visible. And the black lines in the spectrum are caused by the elements, what is sending the radiation. Radio-spectrometer works like normal spectrometer, what would send to the laser-ray to the target, and then every atom would send the radiation in their unique frequency. Every element in the universe has the own frequency of electromagnetic radiation, and that would help to detect the elements what the target consists. The radio spectrometer would work in the same way, but the echo, what the elements would give are coming in the radio-frequency, but the methodology that is used is ...
