Chapter 546 There is hope for our light pressure engine!(1/2)

It is expected that the strength of the annihilation field is not directly proportional to the upper limit of the speed of light.
From the perspective of the structure of photons, what provides the speed is the 'light tail' of the two-point five-dimensional topology, and the role of the 'core' is to stabilize the structure of the photon.
Increasing the strength of the annihilation force field will increase the speed of the 'Light Tail', but the upper limit of the overall speed will not be directly proportional to the strength of the force field.
From the perspective of experimental data, when the antigravity field intensity approaches 0 infinitely, the speed of light does not approach zero, but approaches half of the speed of light.
As the annihilation field strength increases, it is naturally impossible to double the upper limit of the speed of light.
Wang Hao had expected this.
The problem is that in order to create strong enough light pressure to propel the space carrier to sail quickly, it is necessary to create a high temperature of more than 50,000 degrees Celsius.
It is now impossible for materials to withstand temperatures of 50,000 degrees Celsius, not to mention 50,000 degrees Celsius, even 10,000 degrees Celsius, so other aspects are needed to make up for it.
For example, greatly increase the upper limit of the speed of light.
At the same time, the strength of the annihilation force field cannot be increased significantly. Increased strength means that the need to reach the 'energy carrying limit' will become higher.
For example, a violent reaction of 10,000 degrees Celsius needs to continue to explode in order for the annihilation field to carry energy up to the upper limit.
This is the contradiction.
Wang Hao and Paul Phil-Jones discussed for a long time, and then said, "Under normal circumstances, when the temperature is lower than 50,000 degrees Celsius, theoretically, light pressure can also be created, but the thrust provided will decrease by a power level."
"Actually, our demand for manufacturing space carriers is not that high."
He continued, "Now we are discussing the construction of an aerospace carrier and the power issues of the aerospace carrier, all in the hope that it can achieve ultra-high-speed interstellar travel..."
"The minimum standard for interstellar travel is to allow the speed of the ship to be infinitely close to the speed of light."
"But in fact, we don't have this demand in a short period of time. It would be great to build a space carrier that can travel within the solar system."
"So regarding power issues, we can also supplement Hall thrusters or other propulsion methods."
Wang Hao is comforting Paul Phil Jones.
What he said is also true.
If we can build a space carrier that is self-sufficient in energy, there is really no need for the ship to achieve interstellar travel. It would be great to be able to travel within the solar system.
Even if the ideal light pressure engine cannot be manufactured, it is still possible to add Hall thrusters or other propulsion methods.
Paul Phil-Jones was still a little depressed. He shook his head and said, "Light pressure propulsion is the most suitable. Hall propulsion... is simply too weak!"
“That’s not cool at all~~~”
Ding Zhiqiang also nodded, he recognized what Paul Phil Jones said.
That is a space carrier with unlimited energy, using the Hall propulsion method as slow as an ox, and a high-speed rail train with a sense of technology. What is the difference between using a steam engine to propel it?

The results of measuring the speed of light are not ideal, and they are only relative to the study of the "light pressure engine".
The people in the optics team are still very excited. They have accurately measured the speed of light in the strong annihilation force field. They also look forward to measuring the speed of light in other field strengths so that they can make a 'light speed curve' to describe the relationship between the strength of the annihilation force field and the speed of light.
.
This research is indeed important.
Wang Hao and Xu Hua discussed it and agreed that they would send a three-person team to work in the annihilation force field experimental team.
They can do a lot of experiments there.
At the same time, the annihilation particle experiment also made a series of progress. They continued the experiment without any pause in the middle.
Everyone who participated in the research was very motivated, and the experimental group showed very high work efficiency.
For other experimental groups, a small-scale research can be carried out for several years. If you prepare an experiment for a long time and can make some small discoveries, it can be considered a success.
The annihilation particle experiment was conducted twice a week. Each experiment provided a large amount of data, and subsequent analysis was completed quickly. Various small discoveries were made during the period.
Wang Hao's projects have always been like this.
His personal work efficiency is very high. He spends very little time leading the team to do research. The preliminary research is not very long. The people involved are also very stressed. They will only do repetitive experiments and change the values ​​​​midway.
Record data after the experiment.
If such research is delayed any longer, there will be no way to explain it.
Pressure is motivation.
The benefit of high work efficiency is that experimental data are continuously and rapidly accumulated, which provides more data support for the annihilation particle phenomenon, providing a very strong foundation for subsequent technical research and application.
On the way back to the West Sea, Wang Hao heard another good news. The Annihilation Force Field Experiment Team's magnetization power generation technology project had made a breakthrough.
Then he decided to change his itinerary, "I'm not going back now, I'm going to the annihilation force field experimental team."
"Go to the experimental group?"
"Why?"
Several people in the research team were a little confused.
Wang Hao briefly explained.
Paul Phil-Jones immediately expressed no interest, "It's just a power generation technology, even if it is related to the annihilation force field, there are too many similar discoveries."
He added, "I only care about the light pressure engine."
"Paul, you can go back first, I still have to go take a look." Wang Hao said nonchalantly, then looked at Ding Zhiqiang and said, "Xiao Ding, you can go back with me, everyone else should go back first."
Ding Zhiqiang immediately grimaced.
He originally planned to go back to Xihua University to 'recuperate' for a while after working continuously for a long time and following Wang Hao everywhere.
As a result, I had to go on a business trip again halfway through.
Wang Hao explained to Ding Zhiqiang, "You also come with me to see it. This new way of generating electricity is very important. When we study annihilation particle technology, we must convert the pure light energy produced into electrical energy."
"Ordinary photoelectric conversion, such as solar cell technology, has a very high conversion efficiency, but the upper limit is too low and cannot withstand high temperatures of hundreds or thousands of degrees Celsius."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The conversion efficiency of steam power generation is not low, but the power generation process is too complicated."
"If you are building an aerospace carrier, there will be a lot of space reserved inside for steam power generation. What is the difference between such an aerospace carrier and a bulky aircraft carrier? It can only fly, but it has completely lost its efficiency and flexibility."
After he finished speaking, Ding Zhiqiang nodded symbolically to show that he heard and understood.
Paul Phil-Jones raised his hand vigorously and said seriously, "I want to go too! How can such research be without me, Vice Captain Paul Phil-Jones!"
Several people laughed out loud immediately.

With the support of the scientific research department, the Annihilation Force Field Experimental Team established the 'Light Energy Magnetization Power Generation Technology' research group. Participants included Wang Shanqing, who discovered the phenomenon of light energy magnetization potential difference, the electric power team in the experiment, and more than a dozen people sent by superiors.
An electromagnetic expert and an electric power expert.
The 'Light Energy Magnetization Power Generation Technology' research team is studying a brand-new power generation technology, and the experimental requirements are also very high. They need two strong annihilation force field equipment of different strengths.
When one side of a metal conductor has high magnetization and the other side has low magnetization, coupled with strong light exposure, a potential difference will form on both sides of the conductor, and an external connection will generate a current.
After Wang Hao arrived at the experimental base, Wang Shanqing introduced the research progress, "We found that every material can produce this potential difference, and the potential difference of conductive materials is stronger and more obvious."
"In addition, the intensity of the current produced is related to the properties of the material. Relevant conditions include light absorption, heat absorption properties, magnetization reaction intensity and conductive properties."
"We have experimented with more than a dozen materials and found that metals with high magnetization reaction intensity have higher light energy conversion efficiency, but iron and copper cannot. We analyzed the reason and believe that it may be that iron and copper have low step-up magnification, which produces critical
'Special phenomena' will affect the conversion of light energy."
"Three days ago, we experimented with a new type of material, titanium-silver alloy."
"The light energy conversion efficiency of this material is very high. The conversion rate in the experiment is about 15% to 20%. However, in the experiment, another important factor that affects the conversion rate is temperature. An increase in the temperature of the conductor will cause resistance
If the conversion rate rises, we must control the temperature below two hundred degrees Celsius in order to have a higher conversion rate, otherwise it will be greatly reduced..."
The research team conducted experiments using titanium-silver alloy, which was the result of demonstration after finding a certain pattern.
The magnetization reaction intensity of titanium element is high, the force field intensity required for step-up transformation is high, and the heat absorption performance is also very good, while the silver element has high electrical conductivity.
An alloy composed of two elements naturally has a good light-to-electricity effect.
After listening to the entire content, Wang Hao first affirmed their research and casually made a small suggestion, "You can expand the cross-sectional area of ​​the material that is exposed to light energy, and use coolant to continuously cool down the outer layer, and then go to the experiment.
See the effect."
"According to current data, if we design a complete device, the photoelectric conversion efficiency may exceed 25%, or even exceed 30%."
To be continued...
