Free-electron lasers and WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction)

The quantum fogs like electron clouds are effective tools for creating high energetic radiation. The free-electron lasers are the most powerful in the world. They are producing their laser rays by using curving electrons. When the electrons change their direction in particle accelerators. They are transmitting photons.  The size of the free-electron lasers is extremely large but those systems might have modular structures. That means that the series of the satellites will connect to one extremely powerful entirety. And modular structure means. The small-size satellites what has a laser inside them could connect to the chain.  The virtualization of the laser means. The power of the laser ray will increase stressing it with other same frequency laser rays. There is no limit to the power of that kind of laser system.  Or the large group of laser satellites can connect their laser rays to one very powerful laser ray. The collector lasers must be more powerful than the other l...

Fictional travel to Alpha Centauri by using laser boosted solar sail

NASA's solar sail (Picture I) Kimmo Huosionmaa In this text, I would think about fictional space trip to Alpha Centauri by using solar sails, what are boosted with laser or microwave beams. The use of lasers with solar sails would give very much improvements to that system. The problems with laser-systems are that the material of the targeted spacecraft would be heated in extreme temperature, but when we are thinking about the use of lasers as the improve the thrust of that very large sail, we must think this problem practically. Big size of solar sails would allow that the heat of the laser rays would circulate in the larger area, and that would help to decrease the heat, what powerful lasers would send to the target.  Those lasers, what would be used in that kind of program, might be kilometers long, and they might be stationed near the Earth. Making those kilometers long free-electron lasers or powerful masers is a quite simple thing. There must send many small ...
