Portable nuclear reactors the container-size nuclear systems. The power of those reactors is less than 50 megawatts. Or 10-50 megawatts. Portable nuclear reactors make possible to create of things like scramjet-powered hypersonic aircraft possible.
Hydrogen is the best fuel in hypersonic aircraft. And portable nuclear reactors are making it possible to create hydrogen by using electrolysis.
Hydrogen can also use in cars and other vehicles as fuel. The hydrogen-powered car that uses hydrogen as fuel requires only electricity and water to create hydrogen. The thing that makes electricity for electrolysis is not important.
And the same systems that deliver electricity to electric vehicles. Can use to deliver electricity to the electrolysis chamber. The problem is how to produce that electricity without emissions.
The electrolysis chamber can be on the body of the car or aircraft. And operators can just connect the electric wire to the aircraft.
The system conducts water into the electrolysis chamber. And in that chamber, electricity breaks water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. That means space rockets can also use similar systems for creating their fuel.
Portable nuclear reactors are also effective systems for making electricity for DEW (Directed Energy Weapons) like laser systems. The only thing that a laser system needs is electricity. And portable nuclear reactors guarantee every laser station has an independent power source.
A nuclear reactor makes it possible to create electricity that makes the system independent from the regular power source. The portable nuclear reactor that is connected to aircraft can make an airspace system with virtually unlimited operational time. And that kind of system can also deliver electricity to other systems around that aircraft.
