The 3D printing systems can revolutionize hypersonic flight.



Artist's drawing of "The Hermeus", the first commercial prototype of hypersonic aircraft. 



3D printed catalysts are the new materials for hypersonic flight. The catalysts are a mixture of metal and synthetic minerals. But if the printing temperature is high enough that kind of system can mix the carbon fiber, metal, and quartz chrystals. That kind of material can have new abilities for new space and aviation technology. 

The 3D printing systems make it possible to create new forms for the body of hypersonic systems. The cell-type structure between the outer surface and the core of the aircraft is making the hypersonic flight more secure. 

The friction will heat the aircraft core to an extremely high temperature. And the cell-looking structure where is a vacuum layer in the cells minimizes the heat transfer to the inner core. If the hypersonic aircraft can jump to ballistic or low Earth-orbiting trajectory the 3D printer systems can also fix the damages of the aircraft's body or heat shield.

The 3D printers are more flexible systems than traditional spare parts because 3D printers can create any possible mechanical spare part. When the 3D printer system is making things like ventilators. The printing system can make every part of the ventilator separately. The system requires only the assembly orders and measures. Then the 3D printer makes those parts separately. And then robots will assemble them. The system can also have lasers that search for errors.

And also lasers are used to finish the part and remove errors in the structures. In some visions, the hypersonic aircraft can equip with holes. Where some kind of cold liquid can pull outside if the core of the aircraft is overheating. When manipulators are installed in the aircraft's core. And they are equipped with a 3D carbon fiber or metal printer. 

That allows fixing the damaged core during the flight inside the atmosphere. But if the aircraft can rise the outside of the atmosphere is possible to use a long manipulator for fixing holes. That kind of system can be mounted in the Mars craft. That system can fix the damages during space flight to Mars and back.

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.

But the hole in a gravitational field is harder to explain than regular-looking asymmetry.  Could the r
