The Chinese claim that they made successful tests with RDE (Rotating Detonation Engine)

 


Image: X-59 QueSST ("Quiet SuperSonic Technology"). That technology is also making hypersonic aircraft noise lower. The X-59 itself is not hypersonic. But it also gives information that can benefit hypersonic aircraft. 

RDE (Rotating Detonation Engine) is one of the most brilliant ideas of hypersonic aviation. The idea is that the detonation or firefront travels on the wall of the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber can be like the barrel of a rifled rifle. The air-fuel mixture will inject into that chamber where friction can ignite it. 

There is the possibility that the combustion chamber walls will be heated by using electrical resistant components. And that means the fuel-air mixture can ignite at a lower speed. The active warming system can get its power from the air generator. 

There is the possibility that the turbojet engine will get screw-shaped rifling in its combustion chamber along with the entire internal structure. So that the system can drive exhaust gases backward in whirl-looking form. If the system can lock the engine compressors wings. The regular-looking turbo-jet can transform into a hypersonic jet. The high fly altitude can make controlling the power of airflow easier. 

The thing that makes this engine type interesting is that it can install around the turbo-jet engine. Or the "onion-shaped engine can" have three stages. But if the fuel-air mixture can ignite in lower temperatures there is the possibility that the system can accelerate to speed where this engine can start by using a regular turbojet. 





So the model of this system could be: 


0= Ramjet engines. 


1=Outer core of the engine.

2=RDF-engine

3=Turbojet

2=RDF-engine

1=Outer core of the engine.


0= Ramjet engines.


Ramjets are needed only if the fuel-air mixture cannot ignite. Regular scramjets require a speed of about Mach 6 or Mach 7 to start. And in other models, the ramjets are accelerating the aircraft to a speed where scramjets can start. The aircraft uses turbojets for lift-off and landing and then other engine types are flying aircraft to extremely high speed. 

The turbojet might have a vizier that limits its rotation speed. That system is required for energy delivered to the aircraft. But active warming system in RDE makes it possible, that the system can ignite fuel in lower temperatures and it can use an electric arc for ignition. The RDE will accelerate its exhaust gas to hypersonic speed. And that engine is one of the most fundamental systems in the world.

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....
