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.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
