Scramjet engines and how to start them?

Ramjet engines are used in missiles for several years. But placing those engines in aircraft is the new thing. Sometimes is expected that the legendary "Aurora system" was simple the ramjet-driven concept aircraft. The difference between ramjet and scramjet engines is that ramjet is meant for supersonic speed. And scramjet is meant for hypersonic flight.

Ramjet and scramjet engines are the systems that need certain airspeed for ignition. The super- and hypersonic engines have no moving parts. They are tubes that have a certain form. That form causes friction what will ignite the fuel- and oxygen mixture. The acceleration to the necessary speed can happen by using certain engine types in stages. At the first. The turbojet will accelerate the aircraft to the speed where the ramjet can start.

Then ramjets will accelerate the aircraft to speed where scramjet can begin its operation. That kind of staged engine solution gives the aircraft also capacity to operate at a slow speed. Another way is to combinate rocket and ramjet or scramjet engines. The iris or flap can close the air inlet and then the engine system can use internal oxygen. When the speed of the aircraft is high enough. That system can turn to take oxygen from the atmosphere.

But there is another way to start the ramjet or scramjet.

The system must only make a vacuum behind the nozzle. In that case, the vacuum will just pull the gas through the scramjet or ramjet engine. And that thing makes those systems ignite the fuel. Those high-speed engines use some other fuel than kerosene.

Acetone, propane, methane, acetylene, or hydrogen are the most promising things. The liquid hydrogen is a useful thing. In that case, the liquid hydrogen can use for cooling the core of the super- or hypersonic aircraft. If the scramjet engine can start on the airfield.

That thing makes the aircraft lighter. The rocket ramjets and scramjets require internal oxygen. The thing why those hypersonic aircraft are interesting. Is that they can fly to ballistic trajectory outside the atmosphere.

So the idea is simple. There is a hypersonic wind tunnel in the base. Then the hypersonic aircraft will position in the wind tunnel and the vacuum will ignite the engines. Then the hatches will open. And aircraft can fly away. Those hypersonic aircraft can return by gliding to the ground.

Another thing is that there is the possibility to connect ramjets or scramjets. With conventional aircraft bodies. The aircraft can launch that supersonic or hypersonic engine by forming a vacuum behind the aircraft just like the wind tunnel makes. The idea is just to increase the airflow in those very simple-looking but otherways complicated engines.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments. Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape. We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures. The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time? Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger. The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers. "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions. And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object. Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
