Chapter 323 Acceleration of research and development, open superconducting motor!
Val Cronin’s ideas represent the ideas of most anti-gravity experiment teams.
Based on the annihilation physics theory, the edge effects of superimposed force fields and the impact of strong magnetic fields on edge effects, they all believe that in-depth research on the construction of superimposed force fields will definitely lead to some new experimental discoveries.
New experimental findings may represent new physical phenomena.
This is the right path, but it requires a lot of financial support.
Many teams are looking forward to making new discoveries with large-scale superimposed force field equipment, but they do not want to spend money to participate in the experiment in the short term, mainly because it is full of uncertainties. In addition, the research team at Los Alamos Laboratory
, and it is not enough for them to make up their mind to participate.
If it were Wang Hao's team taking the lead, many teams would definitely join without hesitation.
This is the difference in influence.
In everyone's opinion, Wang Hao's involvement in research will definitely yield results, but the Los Alamos Laboratory, or the original Philip's team, is not sure, not to mention Val Cronin, a newcomer.
The person in charge, even if there are achievements in the application of superconducting technology, anti-gravity research is a brand new topic, and he still needs results if he wants to gain a foothold, let alone gain recognition from other teams.
You must know that antigravity is the ultimate major international physics research, and the leader of each team can be said to be a top physicist.
Val Cronin is indeed an excellent scientist in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the field of anti-gravity research, he is nothing at all.
In fact, it is like the research on nuclear fusion tokamak devices. Many people recognize the research on tokamak devices and believe that it can promote the development of controllable nuclear fusion technology. However, due to the large amount of funds invested, coupled with the many difficulties, and full of
To avoid uncertainty, some directly related institutions will invest, while others will just take a look.
Nowadays, various international anti-gravity teams are more interested in the research and technology in front of them.
The research he is interested in is the edge effect of superimposed force fields. Wang Hao organized an anti-gravity conference, and many teams joined it and participated in the research of superimposed force fields.
They also created a brand new data sharing website, which contains data uploaded by various teams. Analysis based on the data has yielded many results.
Some teams have created strong magnetic fields to study the effects of strong magnetic fields on the edge of the superimposed force field. Several experimental results have also been published in top journals and reported by many media.
Among them, the new discovery of the Faguo experimental team is the most astonishing. They found that liquid metal will amplify the magnetization effect by superimposing the edge of the field. That is, the same metal is liquefied at high temperature and then passes through the edge of the superimposed force field, and the magnetic field emitted from the surface increases.
This discovery was reported by the magazine "Nature" and attracted the attention of the international physics community. It was also considered a major discovery in the study of the 'strong annihilation force'.
The new discovery of the Faguo experimental team also shows that in the field of annihilation force research, there is more than just 'making high-strength superimposed force field equipment'. Other research may also lead to new discoveries, and its significance may even be greater than manufacturing high-strength superimposed force field equipment.
The discovery of the superposition force field is even more significant.
That being the case, why do we still spend a lot of money on experiments that may not necessarily bear fruit?
At this stage, it is also very important to digest the anti-gravity technology disclosed by flower growers.
This direction has attracted the attention of various countries around the world. Many countries have invested a lot of money to research superconducting battery technology and transverse anti-gravity technology. The purpose is to create anti-gravity aircraft.
The performance of the flying saucer exposed by the flower growers really shocked the world.
The aircraft can fly at an altitude of 40,000 meters and can carry a large number of missiles. It is a real aerial fortress.
Something to consider…
The current anti-gravity aircraft has only just been put into research and testing. It will definitely be more perfect in the future and the technology will be more mature. What kind of performance it will show by then is beyond imagination.
Many teams have also analyzed the footage exposed by flower growers' anti-gravity aircraft to determine future research directions.
In the field of technical application, there are still many outstanding people.
A technician from Phenolan pointed out, “Many of the flying saucers used by flower growers today are still imperfect in design.”
"For example, power system."
"Their flying saucer uses electric thrusters, which also limits the flight altitude."
"In fact, it is easy to think of a more complete solution, such as using a superconducting motor to drive a fan to spray nitrogen from underneath the aircraft."
"The coolant used by the flying saucer is probably nitrogen. During the operation of the flying saucer, liquid nitrogen needs to flow continuously, and a lot of nitrogen will be ejected."
"If the design can be perfected and a motor is used to eject nitrogen as a supplementary power, the height that the flying saucer can rise will be greatly increased, and it may be able to directly enter space for more than 100 kilometers."
This design is the same as Wang Hao’s idea.
If a superconducting motor can be used to drive a fan to rotate at high speed and allow liquid nitrogen to eject from below, as long as the flow balance is mastered, it will be enough to support the levitation of the aircraft.
This propulsion method is very similar to a 'rocket', and is completely different from electric thrusters.
Electric thrusters rely on the rotation of fan blades to push air and provide power. Because of this, the design of electric thrusters limits the height of anti-gravity aircraft.
As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner and thinner, and the thrust produced by the electric thruster becomes smaller and smaller.
When the two reach a balance, it is the maximum height of the aircraft.
This is also the reason why the flying height of traditional aircraft is limited.
If the discharged nitrogen can be used as power and superconducting motors are used to discharge it efficiently, power can be continuously produced as long as the nitrogen is sufficient. In theory, the aircraft will no longer be restricted by the altitude limit.
Of course.
There are still many problems. For example, the amount of coolant that an aircraft can carry is limited, and liquid nitrogen is not consumed quickly as a coolant. There is still a balance issue to consider.
This design can only be used as an auxiliary power means.
Wang Hao also has the same idea in this regard, but if he wants to realize it, he still has to face three major problems. One is higher-power superconducting batteries.
One is a superconducting motor.
The last thing is the balance and stability of use.
Because the high-speed discharge of nitrogen is only an auxiliary power means, and the main power is still a "basically consumptionless" electric thruster, the two powers must be balanced, and the most difficult thing to grasp for "rocket-type" propulsion is stability.
The problem of superconducting batteries can be solved by adding energy storage coils according to the new design and improving the power control system.
The stability issue of nitrogen discharge promotion still requires continuous experiments to study.
The time has come to solve the problem of superconducting motors.
Even if it is a conventional electric thruster, it must be driven more efficiently by a superconducting motor.
Wang Hao found some free time and arranged to go directly to Capital University and found Professor Dou Yan of the Mechanical Power Laboratory.
The current Wang Hao is unusual. He just came here for a technical issue, which is a major matter for any organization.
Capital University made temporary arrangements, and Vice President Zhang Xiqin was waiting at the door to lead a team to greet him.
After getting off the car, Wang Hao exchanged greetings with everyone, and then, accompanied by Zhang Xiqin and Dou Yan, went to the Mechanical Power Laboratory, directly explaining his purpose of visit along the way.
Dou Yan knew the news in advance. He was a little flattered. He did not expect that the research he led the team would be favored by Wang Hao.
"Academician Wang, we have indeed made breakthroughs and innovations in the research of superconducting motors."
Dou Yan first confirmed his research, and then said with some embarrassment, "But the technology is far from mature, and the prototype we made cannot be used for a long time."
"Besides, I don't understand why you found us."
He explained, "There are many researches on superconducting motors internationally, and several designs have even been patented. This is just a technical application."
Superconducting motors, to put it bluntly, do not have any technical difficulties. They are based on conventional motor principles and are manufactured using superconducting materials. However, in order to maintain superconducting performance, a cooling system must be added.
Wang Hao explained, "Professor Dou, don't underestimate yourself. Not only is your motor unable to be used for a long time, the Academy of Sciences, NPU and some large companies have conducted similar research, and the motors they developed cannot be used for a long time either.
"
"There are many registered patented superconducting motor designs in the world, and the motors manufactured will also encounter this problem."
"Actually, to put it bluntly, it is a matter of stability and balance. After long-term use, the cooling system may malfunction, coupled with the influence of high magnetic environment..."
Wang Hao patiently talked about professional issues.
Dou Yan kept nodding as he listened. He specializes in research in this area and is naturally aware of the problems encountered in the research of superconducting motors.
He found that Wang Hao was very professional and his understanding was not much worse than his own.
After Wang Hao finished speaking, he said, "I came here because of your new open design."
Dou Yan was stunned when he heard it, and then he was a little surprised and said, "Isn't it difficult to realize that design? We just made the design and wrote the report."
Wang Hao smiled and said, "I just read that report and decided to come and take a look. Your open design is indeed difficult to implement, but it happens to be related to the research I am doing. Maybe it can be combined."
He didn't explain any more.
Zhang Xiqin and Dou Yan looked at each other and understood.
The most important topic in the world right now is anti-gravity aircraft. The research on the aircraft has not disclosed the relevant personnel, but it is likely to be directly related to Wang Hao, because Wang Hao is responsible for anti-gravity research.
Then the research Wang Hao is talking about is probably anti-gravity aircraft.
"If you put the open motor design on an anti-gravity aircraft, you will put the cooling system and the anti-gravity cooling system together..."
Dou Yan got a little excited thinking about it.
He did not expect that his research would one day be applied to such high-end technology.
This matter is enough for him to talk about for a lifetime!
Of course, because it involves confidentiality issues, he cannot be disclosed casually in a short period of time, but just thinking about it is enough to make him excited.
After arriving at the Mechanical Power Laboratory, Dou Yan quickly came up with a detailed design plan. The design report they submitted was only a simplified version, and some information was not specifically written down.
After Dou Yan came up with the design plan, he explained it to Wang Hao in detail.
He sighed while explaining, "This open design is indeed very good, but it is too difficult to realize."
"Although we can't make a prototype or experiment, if you think about it, you will know that we will encounter various problems."
Wang Hao nodded accordingly.
There are many problems, including cooling system control, which also includes power control. Especially after high-speed rotation, it is not easy to control power transmission.
In fact, it is similar to the quench protection problem of SMES technology energy storage coils. When the superconducting coil rotates at high speed, various problems will occur in the control system.
Wang Hao and Dou Yan discussed many professional issues, and finally took away all the design plans.
This is also good for Dou Yan.
If his superconducting motor design is used, the superior department will also give certain rewards, and the results will be confirmed and recorded, making it much easier to apply for projects in the future.
…
Wang Hao brought the design plan of the open motor back to the anti-gravity aircraft experimental base in Xihai, and then found a dozen power experts to discuss the open motor plan.
Their research team lineup is much stronger than Dou Yan's team.
Everyone involved is at least a professor, researcher, or senior engineer, unlike Dou Yan’s team, where some are students.
This large group of professionals discussed a design plan together, quickly identified problems with the plan, and demonstrated how to modify and improve it.
However, some problems still could not be solved, so Wang Hao asked everyone to come up with a plan and discuss it together to find a solution. The overall design and each problem were demonstrated in detail.
There were originally only about thirty pages of design plan, but modifications and additions were made from the first page, and then it slowly became fifty or one hundred pages.
This discussion lasted for a week, and there were a lot of design plans.
After Wang Hao finalized the final plan, he immediately assigned work and asked others to reorganize and submit each component.
Then it’s time to find a cooperative factory to manufacture.
Although it is only to manufacture a superconducting motor prototype, twenty-seven factories are required to distribute each component. The most difficult component to manufacture is the most important coil, which takes half a month to complete.
After all the work is completed, the next step is to wait.
