Could the ancient spacecraft use gunpowder as a solid propellant for the adjustable rocket motor?


Kimmo Huosionmaa

Could the spacecraft use the iron dust as the propellant? And could it control the power of the motor, that the punch would be gentle? In fact, the answer will be "yes".  The system would drive the iron dust by using a cogwheel system through the hole, what is surrounded by very powerful magnets.  This could be a very advanced nuclear-powered system, but in ancient times would be used something more conventional thing, what could be gunpowder, what is dosed in the combustion chamber by the conveyor and cogwheel. 

But in fact, I think that the spacecraft could use also gunpowder in that thing. In this conventional model would the system drive the gunpowder in the middle of the saucer-shaped craft, and the system might be similar, what is used in the steam engines. But the gunpowder would be driven to the chamber by the cogwheel and then ignite by the spark. 

In this system, the magnets are replaced by the burner or grate, what would be ring-shaped, and the feeding system would drive the gunpowder through it. The fire would create by using methane or some other gas or gasoline or acetone, what would be burned in this grate. The burning of this combination would allow that the gases of the burning powder would act like in every other spacecraft. They would push that thing upwards, and the horizontal, if there would be exhausters in the sides of the saucer-shaped craft.

When I think about the aviation, and the things around it, this kind of things might be even tested in ancient times. Technology has become more advanced, and in the past times the things, what we might think as usual and everyday equipment could be classified in the 19th. a century and earlier, because the information was not moving so fast as today. 

Of course, there are people like me, who are talking about crystals, what would be warmed to create the heated-air pylon or the ion motors, what would allow the craft to fly, And the first one could operate by using an acetylene-oxygen burner to create the needed upthrust. And in the most modern versions, the carbon fiber stick in the middle of the craft would be heated by using lased, and that heat will allow the craft to fly. but there is the thing, that the last one needs very powerful engines.

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

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-

Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.

  "ZEROe teams powered on the iron pod, the future hydrogen-propulsion system designed for Airbus’ electric concept aircraft." (Intersting Engineering, Airbus's ZEROe: First engine fuel cell powers up for hydrogen flight) Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.  Airbus Zero is a testbed for fuel cells that are used in commercial aircraft. The problem with aircraft is always noise and pollution. If the aircraft uses electric engines. That decreases noise levels and cleans the air, especially around airfields. Lightweight solar panels that can be installed on the wings and body of aircraft can give electricity to electric engines. And they can extend an aircraft's operational range.   The thing that makes this kind of system interesting is that the "flying cars" or cheap VTOL aircraft can use them as a power source. The hydrogen power cells can give energy to electric aircraft at night time. And that makes them m
