The ion motor and spaceflight


Picture I


Kimmo Huosionmaa

The ion motor is interesting equipment, what is planned to use in the space flight. One of the most interesting ion-motor types is the thing, what is called as: "plasma-ion motor". This type of ion motor uses actually iron stream for giving the punch for the rocket and in one version of interplanetary space flight the ion rocket would use the dust of iron ore, what would be heated in extreme high temperature by using electric arc, and then the system would use magnetic accelerators to push that iron stream backward. The secret of ion motors is that those systems can use any kind of ions for creating the punch, and in many theories the punch, what iron motor gives is very soft.

Ion accelerating systems would use only grams of ions for giving the power to the spacecraft, and the accelerating those spacecraft would take years. In normal theories, the ion rocket would be assembled in the orbiter, where the parts of the rocket would shoot by using traditional rockets. And then the ion motor would start to operate, and that motor can use any kind of ions. But if we would make the ion rocket, what would use electric arcs to vaporize iron, would that rocket shoot from the seas. In this scenario, the rocket would first use the water as the propellant, what takes the rocket out of the atmosphere.

The electric arc would replace the combustion in the rockets combustion chamber. And then the tanks would be filled by using the iron ore, what would vaporize by using a nuclear reactor. Then that iron steam would be driven backward by using the particle accelerator. This system can use any ions, what has the same polar capacity with iron, and that means that the system can use any material in the universe as the propellant. The fascinating idea of the ion motors is to use the metal, what is found from the asteroid belt as the propellant.

And the only thing, what is important is that those ions, what propellant creates would have similar polarity. But when we are thinking about ion cannons, what are actually the modified ion motors, those weapons would need only the ions, what have two different polarities. In this case, if the ions would have plus capacity, and at the same time, would shoot the electrons by the particle accelerators, what have two lines, what are one inside another, would the minus mark electrons keep the plus mark ions in the same beam, what makes possible to use ions as the weapon.

The ion cannons are very devastating because those beams would pass even the strong wall, and when they would stop, they start to release their energy. And that makes possible to shoot the targets thru the wall, and then the ions will be stopped by using the magnetic field. This capacity makes possible to destroy nuclear reactors without harming the protective building, and that could limit the radioactive fallout.

The AI-based PCs will replace current PCs quite soon. A Lenovo director says.

    The AI-based PCs will replace current PCs quite soon. A Lenovo director says.   Lenovo plans to replace current PCs by using new AI-based systems. The AI-based PC is the tool that makes computing more powerful, more effective, and safer than ever before. The Kernel-based AI that guards computers and identifies the users are tools that are required at this time of modern computing. The problem with this type of advantage is that if those AI-based system's servers are in China, makes the PC an ultimate control tool. Another thing is that the host who controls servers can use data collected from the users to create military AI applications. Computer games help to create AI that can respond to all types of actions. And AI also can create things like hypersonic lifting bodies and command systems for military tools. Also, AI can create new types of dual-use systems that control drone swarms in marketing situations for making dragon images in the skies. But the same systems can contro

Quantum computers and ultra-fast photonic microchips can danger even the most secure communication.

"Quantum computers could pose a major security risk to current communication systems in 12-15 years with their exponentially greater speed and code-breaking ability. (ScitechDaily, Today’s Most-Secure Communications Threatened by Future Quantum Computers) Quantum computers can break entire binary cryptography. And that makes all communication unsecured. That is one of the greatest threats in quantum computing. And this brings the arms race to the quantum age. The quantum computer can create codes that any binary computer can break. But the quantum computer can also break old-fashioned codes. And that makes it an ultimate weapon and sabotage tool.   Quantum computers can change the measurements of the ammunition in factories by changing the system calibration. Or it can delete databases from the opponent's computer systems. This thing can delete all SIM cards from mobile telephones. In peacetime, the hackers that operate using quantum systems can steal the names of the counter-

The new 3D printers are coin-size systems.

"The tiny device could enable a user to rapidly create customized, low-cost objects on the go, like a fastener to repair a wobbly bicycle wheel or a component for a critical medical operation. Credit: Sampson Wilcox, RLE" (Scitech, Tiny Titan: MIT’s Revolutionary Coin-Sized 3D Printer Fits in Your Pocket) Researchers created a 3D printer that is coin-size. That kind of printer can create things like microchips. But it's possible. Those tiny 3D printers can also work in extremely large-size projects. In simplest models, the 3D printers are positioned on tracks. The 3D printer itself is the tool, that can be part of the modular production systems.  There are visions of high-temperature metal printers installed on the gantry cranes. That makes those crane printers that can make even ship-size things. The crane that the printer controls can move back and forth and the printer can move horizontally. This kind of thing can turn the crane into a high-temperature 3D printer, that
