The nuclear-powered cruise missile is not a new idea.

The idea of the nuclear-powered missiles and rockets is not new and during the Cold War, the United States military created the idea of using the nuclear reactor in the high-speed cruise missile. A benefit for that missile was that it could fly even years with extremely high speed, but the problem was pollution, what denied the testing of that weapon. That missile could fly across the earth by using the nuclear reactor, but the project canceled because the pollution was the problem. That attempt was called as "PROJECT PLUTO".


This nuclear-powered ramjet engine was very simple. The burning fuel was replaced with the nuclear reactor, what would give an extremely powerful punch for that weapon, and the idea was to make supersonic cruise missile, what was full of sub-warheads, and what was capable to destroy multiple targets in the Soviet Union. The pollution of that engine was extremely high, and the radioactive fallout would pollute large areas in the route of this missile. The nuclear ramjet bases the reactor, what would change the output power simultaneously, and that would give the pressure waves in the motor, what would push this weapon forward.


The cooling system bases that the high-speed air would transfer the heat away from the reactor. The production of this weapon is very difficult because it leaves the highly radioactive components behind it, and that's why the test flights would be very difficult. And the radioactive material would be delivered to the large areas. This technology is of course very interesting, and now Russians are working with this kind of project. So there is nothing new under the sun.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources.

   Use virtual "perpetual motion machines"  and seawater as energy sources.  The Archimedean screw can offer almost endless energy sources.  "Robert Fludd's 1618 "water screw" perpetual motion machine from a 1660 wood engraving. It is widely credited as the first attempt to describe such a device." (Wikipedia/Perpetual motion) The term "virtual perpetual motion machine" means a machine. That pulls water to the upper tank using a capillary tube. Then that water will fall through the generator or turbine wheel. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", that is impossible because of laws of thermodynamics.  The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a " real perpetual motion machine", which is impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics.  The real perpetual motion machines don't use outside energy. And that's why they are not possible.

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru

There might be an answer to why there is a gravitational hole in Earth's gravitational field.

The gravitational field at the point of the Indian Ocean is weaker than in other places on Earth. The existence of that gravitational hole is proved. But the reason why that gravitational hole is formed is unknown. The reason why the gravitational field on the Indian Ocean is weaker might be a simple thing.  There is a possible lighter rock in the mantle, or there is less material at that point. In some wildest theories, there are bubbles in magma that turn below the bottom of the Indian Ocean are less massive than in other places on Earth. The lighter material at that point should make the hole in gravitation.  "Geoid undulation in false color.
