I'm not a physicist that's why I'm seeking help in this forum. Energy that can be used to push the atoms on a mirror or in fiber optic cables. Momentum is a better term. Aside from that the physics of solar sails and photon laser thrusters is well understood. There would be push on the mirrors...
Mirrors aren't perfectly flat therefore lasers cannot bounced as many times as they can through fiber optics. 'Lossy?' The energy has to go somewhere. The push on the atoms in the fiber optics is desired like the push of photons on the mirror in the photonic laser thruster. Photons pushing on...
Thank you for the quick answer. Are you sure? Photons eventually exit the front and sides of the space train for laser shielding through the extra energy produced at the back of the space train...
There is push on a solar sail and this pushes both on the atoms in the fiber optic cables AND...
Solar sails use the push of photons on a mirror. Would it work to use the push of photons in the atoms in fiber optic cables so the question is would there be push and how much on 1 mile of a space train 50 feet wide with 1 foot thick of fiber optics.
Here's how I think it would be nearly...
In fewer words. Alex's spaceship has more than 1 energy source. Fuel cells turn water or a liquid is heated and turned into steam like in a power plant. Pressure is used for energy storage on the fuel cells. It is turned back into liquid on the dark side on the fuel cell. Mercury in the shade it...
If Fusion or the NASA quantum engine were easy to do alien civilization would probably have come to Earth millions of years ago. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try many ways to go to Earth like planets. There are 586 stars like ours within 100 light years. 1 in 5 has an Earth like planet. We are...
There can be more than 1 movie about space travel. How would the spaceship slow down? Using pressure to store energy from the sun the energy is a net energy gain to make hydrogen and for laser shielding and propulsion. Energy can be sent to Mars. A spaceship moving near or past the speed of...
Fusion might work in 25 50 or 100 years. “destructive energy comes from uranium fission rather than fusion.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermonuclear_weapon
More movies are better to some extent. Both are theoretical. Many countries have tried fusion for 50 years. At least 3 energy sources...
Elena technical editor needed writersiq@hotmail.com It takes many people to make movies. I will pay the technical editor many times what the competition pays particularly finance the movie The Finish Line.
High power lasers would shield from small particles not radiation. High power lasers can cut through metal. Lasers moving faster than light would have more cutting power like a bullet that moves faster. Radiation can be turned into usage energy using nano particles...
Thank you for the info I'm not a physicist. High power lasers double as shields and propulsion. Fusion? IS there a net energy gain from fusion using current technology? (From what I read on wiki fusion was years away (if possible) for creating net energy even as simple as heating water. For...
I'm building a spaceship and making a movie where a long spaceship is encased in laser shielding that doubles as laser propulsion. Plutonium is 1 power source ideally between the sun and target star. The movie is titled The Finish Line. Clear pipes around the ship are filled with water and...
