Magnetic engines have always been likened to a milestone in a new era of human civilization. However, compared to electricity, magnetic energy has always been an elusive "energy", which has made it difficult for humans to utilize magnetic energy.
Simple electromagnetic technology has promoted the great development of mankind. Large ones such as magnetic smelting furnaces and magnetic levitation technology, as well as small ones such as simple speakers and motors, are all comprehensive developments of electromagnetic technology, including the original Sinan.
However, in the development of high-end fields, electric energy has always been the leader, and magnetic energy has been far behind. Without him, elusiveness is the biggest problem. But now, when the powerful magnetic energy is bound, powerful changes occur! A new technology that surpasses classical physics breaks out!
In classical physics, no matter what kind of force it is, it acts on itself or visible objects such as the air and the ground. And the object of the magneto engine turns out to be space itself!
As an analogy, a magnetic engine can allow a spacecraft to fly in space, just like a car running on the ground. It uses the space itself to save energy, and can increase energy efficiency dozens of times, or even exceed its own energy efficiency.
Just like a car engine, it has only a few kilograms of force, but it can drag dozens of tons of load. In comparison, the current space shuttle can only transport less than one ton of objects with one ton of thrust. If it exceeds that, it will Can't fly!
The current magnetic engine has such an effect. It superimposes the mass of the spacecraft onto space and then performs work at the space level. Although this will lead to problems such as slow speed and high resistance, it has more advantages!
As the countdown progresses. Everyone exited the research room, waiting for the results of the experiment. If successful, then this space age will turn a new page - with the arrival of ultra-large-capacity ground-to-sky transportation vehicles, space development will truly begin a great leap forward at a low cost!
Of course, the above are only theoretical conjectures, and the specific results will depend on the actual results of the research.
The countdown ended and the laboratory was quiet without any noise. Did the experiment fail?
No! Of course not. The magnetic engine is noiseless because it does not produce the rotation of the machine or the jet of air, so it does not produce particularly obvious noise. Maybe there is some electromagnetic noise. But after passing the high-spec walls of the laboratory. Can't hear it anymore.
Squeak... The dome above the laboratory slowly opened, and a shining elf, like a white cloud, floated leisurely and slowly; as if it had no weight. Fly gently into the sky.
"Success!!!" the scientists cheered. Some even shed tears. for this technology. Based on the existing foundation, thousands of people have still made efforts for more than ten years. How many decades does it take for an ordinary person? The golden time for scientists is generally only 20 years - ten years. The prime time has passed halfway!
By this time, there was already a slight sound of motor working.
Before Zhang Jingyuan could ask, Dongfang Ying had already taken the initiative to explain. It turns out that the magnetic engine is a kind of super-cooling technology, and its operating temperature must be guaranteed to be below minus 170 degrees; for this purpose, a powerful cooling unit has to be equipped. Today's magnetic engines are still relatively primitive, with the lowest operating voltage of more than several hundred million volts. They generate severe heat, and severe vibrations of the magnetic field will also generate heat. In order to ensure the normal operation of the unit, strong cooling measures have to be provided.
"Oh. What is the overall efficiency of such an engine?" Zhang Jingyuan was bound to break the casserole and ask the question.
"That's a bit primitive." Dongfang Ying rarely blushed.
At this time, Zhang Jingyuan also smiled, "I'm just asking about efficiency, it's just a number."
Trembling, Dongfang Ying stretched out three fingers.
"Thirty percent? If that's the case, it's pretty good for a new thing."
Wuwuwuwu... Dongfangying shook his head like a rattle.
"Three percent!!!"
Finally, Dongfang Ying nodded shyly.
I... Zhang Jingyuan didn't know what to say for a moment. 3%! 3% efficiency... Are you sure this flying saucer can carry other weights besides its own weight? This won't be an expensive toy!
As if seeing Zhang Jingyuan's thoughts, Dongfang Ying began to explain: "Although the efficiency is very low, you see, the current flying saucer is 30 meters in diameter and weighs more than 350 tons, of which the power system and energy storage system total 50 tons, and the rest are The flying saucer weighs itself.
And now I see the flying saucer flying lightly into the sky, which obviously has enough power. The specific load capacity, etc., as well as the efficiency of the engine, will continue to be improved in the future.
In fact, it is already very good to be able to successfully research the engine. And because its power acts directly on space, it actually increases the efficiency of the engine dozens of times. Overall, the current relative efficiency is about 75%. ”
"Then continue research. It is already very good that new technology can be successful. In fact, the turbine power system has a history of two hundred years from research and development to now, and only then can we have the current plasma engine; to achieve such results within ten years, It’s already amazing!” Technology research and development and upgrading cannot be solved overnight. In fact, Zhang Jingyuan is very satisfied with the success. So I’m not demanding too much.
The current overall efficiency of 75% seems to remind people that the law of conservation of energy is still the cornerstone that cannot be challenged! Maybe the magnetic engine itself is highly efficient, but it also generates a lot of heat, consumes a lot of energy, and needs to be equipped with a complicated cooling unit!
But fortunately, it succeeded after all. In addition, even if it is true that the energy cannot exceed 100% on the ground, what about in space? You must know that cooling in space does not require a cooling unit. It can be completely cooled naturally! However, it seems that in space, magnetic engines and plasma engines are comparable!
Well, the future of magnetic engines is still very bright. That is, we still need to work hard.
However, development on the ground is good, and development in space is even stronger. Without the constraints of gravity and air resistance, we can realize many designs that cannot be realized on the ground!
The most eye-catching thing is the super-large spaceship that is about to be completed.
It is more than 1100 meters long and 90 meters high. It is covered with huge "scales" - they are engine modules! Each of these scales has a Die Daring 2 engine with a thrust of 5,000 tons. There are actually 1,000 such engines on the entire spacecraft, with an overall thrust of up to 5 million tons! The weight of the spacecraft is only 700,000 tons. It is filled with the latest physical batteries, carrying energy up to 1.5 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity. The spacecraft can only work for 50 hours when working at full capacity.
But this spaceship named "Giant" is not used for transportation, but for - dragging the planet! ! !
In fact, in such a huge spacecraft, there is only a 30-meter-long and wide control room, and the rest of the space is filled with physical batteries, complex power systems, etc. This is simply a monster of an era! After this era, it can only be sealed! "Target, Ceres!" Zhang Jingyuan said in a majestic manner, pointing across the glass cover of the space base like a mountain, pointing at the lonely and almost invisible Ceres in the space, the only dwarf planet in this asteroid belt! (To be continued...)
