Quantum entanglement is a useful tool also for high-power particle accelerators and quantum ion engines.



Quantum entanglement can use also for making new and powerful particle accelerators. If we think about the ability to use positronium or protonium as the beginning point of the electron-positron or proton-antiproton impacts. That thing can make it possible to adjust the impact point and energy levels in the matter-antimatter collision. 

A positronium is a pair of positrons and electrons that are orbiting each other. And the protonium is the proton and antiproton pair where those particles are orbiting each other. If those things are put in quantum entanglement that allows particle accelerators to create particle pairs, which energy level is the same. That thing makes it possible to create highly accurate high-energy particle collisions. 

Quantum entanglement makes it possible to create powerful particle accelerators. The system would base free-electron lasers. That kind of powerful, but lightweight particle accelerator would use two electron clouds. The particle accelerators will pump energy to the first electron cloud. 

And then, the wave motion of those electrons will aim at the second electron cloud. That thing makes it possible to use photons to accelerate those electrons. Because free electrons are sending that wave motion between each other. That thing maximizes the impact power. 


Quantum routers and quantum ion engines are the next-generation tools. 


Quantum entanglement makes it the system possible to create two electrons with the same energy level. That thing can be useful in the quantum router that routes information between two quantum systems. The ability to create the qubits that are operating just at the same time makes quantum systems more effective. 

This thing makes it possible to create new types of macro-size quantum systems. In this kind of system, quantum computers are acting as macro-size qubits. And that allows the creation of multiple internal quantum computing systems. 

But in quantum ion engines, the system creates quantum entanglement. Then the photons will send to the channel that connects those particles. Then those electrons will fly in different directions. That increases the power that impacts the front side of the ion engine. That kind of system could be useful in the new ion system that can revolutionize aviation and spaceflight.

Researchers plan to send a probe to Mars by using a powerful laser system.




The lasers are allowing to send spacecraft to orbiter without pollution. That thing makes them a very powerful tools. In the most futuristic plans, the extremely powerful nuclear-powered lasers can send the spacecraft even to other solar systems. And the same lasers that send spacecraft to orbiters and other planets can use as ASAT (Anti Satellite-systems). Those lasers could destroy satellites from the orbiter. 

There is planned to use giant laser systems for lifting satellites to the orbiter of the Earth. And also those lasers could use to send probes to outer solar systems. The problem with those giant lasers is that the systems are heating the spacecraft. That heat effect can minimize by cooling the satellite as cold as possible. The use of lasers for sending spacecraft to orbiters is not new.

In those systems, the laser ray makes hot air under the craft. And that effect lifts the craft from the ground. In some other plans, the laser ray that is inside the craft would use to vaporize liquid hydrogen. That thing can use to thrust spacecraft. The lasers can also use for vaporizing the metals that are driven to particle accelerators. Those particle accelerators can be used as ion motors. 


Graphene-based high-power particle accelerators can be used as ion engines.

As lasers, the ion cannons can use to push the craft upward. The craft can be equipped with the opposite polar electric load than the ion flow. That allows to rise it to the orbiter. 

The graphene and lasers are making it possible to create intense powerful ion accelerators. Those systems can use as an engine in spacecraft. The ion engines are particle accelerators. The graphene-ion accelerator can use for creating thrust for spacecraft. The thing is that the high-energy accelerators can also use as space weapons for the killer satellites whose primary objective is to destroy enemy satellites. The killer satellites can also deliver ions to the atmosphere for disturbing enemy communication.

The moonbase plays a big role in the solar system colonization.

 The moonbase plays a big role in the solar system colonization.



Moonbase is the thing that might not look so impressive as Mars or Jupiter bases. But in moonbase, the researchers can find out how to make structures in space conditions. The moonbase is the perfect place for making social and other types of tests for long-term flights. If something goes wrong the mission must abort immediately. There is possible to test life-support and other systems.

Moon station is also possible to use for testing systems like computers, independent operating robots, and AI. And other things that will be trusted and easy to operate. If something goes wrong on the Moon. that thing is far easier to fix than if something goes wrong on Mars. 

And on the moon returning to Earth is easier than from Mars or the asteroid belt. The moonbase is also offering a safe place for loading and starting the nuclear reactors for nuclear-powered rockets. When some nuclear-powered NERVA or ion rocket starts near-Earth. And if something goes wrong. There is the possibility that radioactive debris will fall to the Earth. 

So if the starting of those engines will happen at the Moon orbiter the radioactive debris will fall to the ground. The moon is also offering a shield against the EMP-pulses that are forming if the Orion-type of system where the small nuclear bombs will push the craft to the outer solar system. The ion rockets can also cause problems for satellites if the high-energetic ions will impact them. 

The thing is that electrostatic and microwave-based systems where the propellant is vaporized by using microwaves and them shoot back by using magnetic accelerators are one of the most capable systems. The ion engine requires vaporized material like iron steam but also other ions would be useful. 

The problem is how to vaporize the iron or silicone? One version is to use a hybrid system where the material is vaporized by using microwaves. And then it will ionize. Then the system will drive those ions backward by using the magnetic track. 

Things like water jet rocket engines are rocket engines. Which are using water or hydrogen as the propellant. The idea of those systems is to replace nuclear reactor what is used in NERVA engines by using something that is not so radioactive. That thing makes the microwave engine a useful tool. 

Liquid hydrogen or water will pump into the nozzle. And microwaves are vaporizing it. The full benefit of those systems will get if the liquid gas has a low vaporizing point. The microwaves can use to expand the propellant as well fire or nuclear engines are making. The moonbase is ideal for testing that kind of system.

The new ion drive makes aircraft operate without moving parts.

 The new ion drive makes aircraft operate without moving parts. 




Ion drive is making it possible to create an aircraft that flies without moving parts.  In this kind of model, the ion system can get energy from the small turbogenerators. Or it can deliver from Earth by using the maser rays. 

There are many models of what this kind of airplane can look like. The film above this text introduces the MIT solution. There is a very interesting similarity between this concept and Wright-brothers Flyer I from Kitty Hawk that flew the first motorized flight in 1900. 

The thrust of that kind of ion engine that is introduced in the film is not very big. But if the system is equipped with internal turbines, it can be a powerful tool. The fact is that the regular jet turbine can also equip with an ion assistant. That means that the air will ionize at the front of the engine. 

And then it will pull backward past the combustion chamber. Also, the ion system can use to accelerate the air at the start of the ramjet or scramjet engine. The engine will ionize air at the front of the engine and then the magnets will pull ionized air backward. That increases the temperature and speed of the airflow to the level that the engine can start. 

But there is the possibility that the normal bi- or triplane could also use an ion engine. Or the ion engine can also install in supersonic aircraft. In bi-or triplanes, the front line of the wings can ionize the air. And then the magnetic tracks will pull those ions backward. In the super- and hypersonic aircraft at the front of the aircraft is the stick that ionizes the air. 

And then, the ion system will simply pull those ions over the wings. The ion systems can also make it possible to create wingless aircraft. In those models, the small flaps connected to the body. And the purpose of the system is to create overpressure to the wanted side of the aircraft. When the flap is turning outside it will increase the pressure at its side. The ions would pull over the body. And that thing is making the craft slide through the air. 

There is also introduced that the regular propeller aircraft can equip with an ion drive. The propeller of the propeller-aircraft like the P-51 Mustang can use also as an ionizer that ionizes the air. Then the magnetic tracks will pull the ions backward and that thing turns the P-51 into a silver bullet that travels through the skies. 

Could a graviton be a low-energy photon?

Image of a photon. We can think of gravity as forming when particles or objects spin. That spin binds energy from around it. That spin turns...
