  1. ??? ????????????????????? In which of my words you could even see that???
  2. Banned for banning me when I was almost ready to close the forum page.
  3. Mount Ain http://www.compression.ru/arctest/self/ain.htm
  4. Granted. You are corrupted, as you wished. I wish for a human antivirus against human viruses. Especially the cold one.
  5. Due to the forum policy I will refrain from reacting on this. And btw. I was talking only about the technical part of the question, if the tanks are vulnerable.
  6. A 100 t ship, TWR = 1, ISP*g = 100 km/s. Jet power = 100 000 * 10 * 100 000 = 1011 W. Let the waste energy (in form of X-rays) be 50% of total. 1011 W of waste power. Let the chamber be a sphere 10 m in radius. Equilibrium temperature ~= (1011 / (5.67*10-8 * 4 * pi * 102) )0.25 ~= 6 000 K *** A 10 000 t ship, TWR = 1, ISP*g = 100 km/s. Jet power = 107 * 10 * 100 000 = 1013 W. Let the waste energy (in form of X-rays) be 50% of total. 1013 W of waste power. Let the chamber be a sphere 50 m in radius (proportionally). Equilibrium temperature ~= (1013 / (5.67*10-8 * 4 * pi * 502) )0.25 ~= 8 600 K *** So, the temperature of the chamber would be several times greater than a solid material can survive without active cooling. And the terawatts active cooling of tens-meters nozzle would mass so much that the ship would consist of it totally. But even worse, it should find a way to quickly emit terawatts into space and, and additionally - not heating its own hull. On ground you can use massive external coolers and the infinite heat sink of the ocean. But not in space. So, this limits the encased reaction designs with low waste power, so low thrust.
  7. More self-propelled anti-aicraft vehicles (just like Red Army likes) to shootthe drones, hunter drones to hunt the drones. The most part of losses happened in the early days of the conflict, when the hostility of the theater territory was estimated optimistically. (The theater territory and its population are "ours" for the incoming army, so it's still avoiding mass strikes against the civil objects and areas. In some other country this would differ a lot, turning it into wasteland.)
  8. I thought that Firefly is just a space western... P.S. And use the jets of chemical engines, assisted by the gravity canceller, as a plasmatic pusher plate to catch the orionish nuke shot.
  9. Banned for I was not saying, I was copypasting.
  10. Because you have are owned by strange obsession with lifting arc machines. How could @Ben J. Kermansurvive zero-g when cranes don't work there?
  11. School classes are remote. Schoolookie.
  12. Sticky Valley at Gumball Rally
