Chapter 322: R&D Acceleration, Open Superconducting Motor!
Val Cronin's idea represents the idea of the vast majority of the anti-gravity experimental team.
Based on the physics theory of annihilation, the edge effect of superimposed force fields, and the influence of strong magnetic fields on edge effects, they all believe that the in-depth study of the construction of superimposed force fields will definitely lead to some new experimental discoveries.
New experimental discoveries may represent new physical phenomena.
It's the right path, but it requires a lot of money.
Many teams are looking forward to new discoveries in large superimposed force field devices, but they don't want to invest in the experiments for a short time, mainly because of the uncertainty and the fact that the Los Alamos lab research team is not enough to make up their minds to participate in it.
If it was Wang Hao's team leader, many teams would definitely join without hesitation.
That's the difference in influence.
In everyone's opinion, Wang Hao's involvement in research will definitely be able to produce results, and Los Alamos Laboratory, or the original Philip's team is not sure, not to mention Val Cronin, a new person in charge, even if there are achievements in the application of superconducting technology, but anti-gravity research is a new topic, and he still needs results if he wants to gain a firm foothold, let alone get the approval of other teams.
You must know that antigravity is the ultimate major physics research in the world, and the leader of each team can be said to be the top physicist.
Val Cronin, in the eyes of ordinary people, is indeed an excellent scientist, but in the field of anti-gravity research, it is nothing at all.
In fact, just like the research of nuclear fusion tokamak devices, many people recognize the research of tokamak devices and think that they can promote the development of controlled nuclear fusion technology, but because of the large amount of money invested, coupled with the difficulties and uncertainties, some directly related institutions will invest, and some will just look at it.
At present, various international anti-gravity teams are more interested in the research and technology in front of them.
Wang Hao organized an anti-gravity conference, and many teams joined it and participated in the study of superposition force fields.
They also created a new data-sharing website with data uploaded by various teams, analyzed based on the data, and a lot of results were achieved.
Some teams have created strong magnetic fields to study the effect of strong magnetic fields on the edges of superimposed force fields, and several experimental results have also been published in top journals and reported by many media.
Among them, the new discovery of the Enamel experimental team is the most astonishing, they found that the liquid metal will amplify the magnetization effect by superimposing the edge of the position, that is, the same metal, high-temperature liquefaction and then through the superimposed force field edge, the magnetic field emitted by the surface increases.
This discovery was reported by the journal Nature, which attracted the attention of the international physics community, and was also considered a major discovery in the study of 'strong annihilation'.
The new findings of the Enamel experimental team also show that in the field of annihilation, there is not only one way to 'manufacture high-intensity superimposed force field equipment', but other research may also have new discoveries, and its significance may even be more significant than the discovery of manufacturing high-intensity superimposed force fields.
Why, then, do we need to spend a lot of money on experiments that don't necessarily produce results?
At this stage, it is also important to digest the anti-gravity technology that is openly displayed by the flower planter.
This direction has been valued by various countries in the world, and many countries have invested a lot of money to research superconducting battery technology and lateral anti-gravity technology, the purpose of which is to create anti-gravity aircraft.
The performance of the flying saucer exposed by the flower grower has brought too much shock to the world.
The aircraft can fly at an altitude of 40,000 meters and can also carry a large number of missiles, which is a real fortress in the air.
A little to consider......
The current anti-gravity vehicle has only just been put into research and testing, and the follow-up will definitely be more perfect, the technology will be more mature, and what kind of performance will be shown at that time, I feel that it has exceeded imagination.
Many teams also analyzed the images exposed by the anti-gravity vehicle of the flower planter to determine the future research direction.
In the field of technology application, there are still many outstanding people.
A technician from phenolan pointed out, "There are many flying saucers that are not yet perfectly designed. ”
"For example, the powertrain."
"Their flying saucers use electric thrusters, which also limits the flight altitude."
"Actually, it's easy to think of a better solution, such as using a superconducting electric motor to drive a fan and eject nitrogen from underneath the aircraft."
"The coolant used in the flying saucer is probably nitrogen, and during the operation of the flying saucer, the liquid nitrogen needs to flow continuously, and a lot of nitrogen will be ejected."
"If the design can be perfected, and the electric motor can drive the eruption of nitrogen as a power supplement, the height that the flying saucer can rise will be greatly increased, perhaps more than 100 kilometers directly into space."
This design is the same as Wang Hao's idea.
If a superconducting motor can be used to drive the fan to rotate at high speed and let the liquid nitrogen eject from below, as long as the flow balance is mastered, it is enough to support the suspension of the aircraft.
This type of propulsion is very similar to a 'rocket', and is completely different from electric propulsion.
Electric thrusters rely on the rotation of fan blades to propel air and provide power, which is why electric propulsion is designed to limit the altitude of anti-gravity aircraft.
As you rise at higher altitudes, the air becomes thinner and thinner, and the thrust created by the electric propulsion becomes smaller and smaller.
The two have reached a balance, which is the maximum altitude of the aircraft.
This is also the reason why conventional aircraft have limited flight altitudes.
If the exhaust nitrogen can be used as the power and the superconducting motor can be used to discharge it efficiently, as long as the nitrogen is sufficient, the power can be continuously produced, and the aircraft will no longer be limited by the ascent altitude.
Of course.
There are still many problems, for example, the amount of coolant that can be loaded on the aircraft is limited, and liquid nitrogen as a coolant is not consumed quickly, so it is still necessary to consider a balance problem.
This design can only be used as an auxiliary power tool.
Wang Hao has the same idea in this regard, but there are still three major problems to face if he wants to realize it, one is a higher power superconducting battery.
One is a superconducting motor.
Finally, there is the issue of 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 non-consumption' electric propulsion, it is necessary to balance the two powers, and the most difficult thing to grasp in 'rocket-style' propulsion is stability.
The problem of superconducting batteries can be solved by adding energy storage coils and improving the power control system according to the new design.
The stability of nitrogen discharge is still to be studied by continuous experiments.
Superconducting motors, too, have come to the solution.
Even conventional electric propulsion must be driven more efficiently by superconducting electric motors.
Wang Hao found some free time, so he directly arranged to go to Capital University and found Professor Dou Yan of the Mechanical Power Laboratory.
The current Wang Hao is unusual, just for technical problems, it is a major thing for any organization.
Capital University made temporary arrangements, and Vice President Zhang Xiqin and others led a team to greet them at the door.
After Wang Hao got out of the car, he greeted everyone, and then accompanied by Zhang Xiqin and Dou Yan, he went to the mechanical power laboratory, and directly explained his intention along the way.
Dou Yan knew the news in advance, he was a little flattered, and he didn't expect that the research he led the team would be favored by Wang Hao.
"Academician Wang, we do have breakthroughs and innovations in the research of superconducting motors."
Dou Yan first affirmed his research, and then said with some embarrassment, "But the technology is far from mature, and the prototype we make cannot be used for a long time." ”
"Also, I don't understand why you found us."
He explained, "There are many international research on superconducting motors, and even several designs have been patented, which is just a technical application. ”
Superconducting motors, to put it bluntly, are not technically difficult, the feasibility study is the conventional motor principle, and then use superconducting materials to manufacture, but because to maintain superconducting performance, it is necessary to add a cooling system.
】
Wang Hao explained, "Professor Dou, don't be presumptuous, not only your motors can't be used for a long time, but the Academy of Sciences, Xi'an University of Technology and some large enterprises have similar research, and the motors they have developed can also not be used for a long time." ”
"There are many patented superconducting motor designs in the world, and the manufactured motors will also encounter this problem."
"In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a matter of stability and balance, and after a long period of use, the cooling system may fail, coupled with the high magnetic environment......
Wang Hao patiently talked about professional issues.
Dou Yan kept listening and nodding, he specializes in this aspect of research, and naturally knows the problems encountered in the research process of superconducting motors.
He found that Wang Hao was very professional and understood not much worse than himself.
After Wang Hao finished speaking, he said, "I came here because of your open new design." ”
Dou Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then said with some surprise, "It's difficult to realize that design, right?" We just made the design and wrote the report. ”
Wang Hao smiled, "I just read the report, I decided to come and take a look, your open design is really difficult to implement, but it happens to be related to the research I am doing, maybe it can be combined." ”
He didn't explain more.
Zhang Xiqin and Dou Yan glanced at each other, and they both understood.
Now the most important topic in the world is the anti-gravity aircraft, and the research of the aircraft has not disclosed the relevant personnel, but it is likely to be directly related to Wang Hao, because the research of anti-gravity is Wang Hao's responsibility.
Then the research Wang Hao said is likely to be an anti-gravity vehicle.
"If you put the open motor design on the anti-gravity aircraft, that is, put the cooling system together with the anti-gravity cooling system......
Dou Yan was a little excited when he thought about it.
He didn't expect that his research would one day be able to apply such high-end technology.
This is enough for him to talk about for a lifetime!
Of course, in a short period of time, because of the confidentiality issues involved, he must not be able to disclose it casually, but just thinking about it is enough to make him excited.
After arriving at the mechanical power laboratory, Dou Yan simply came up with a detailed design plan, and the design report they submitted was only a brief version, and some information was not specially written.
After Dou Yan came up with the design plan, he explained it to Wang Hao in detail.
He explained, sighing, "This open design is really good, but it's too difficult to implement. ”
"We couldn't build prototypes or experiment, but if we thought about it, we knew that we would encounter all kinds of problems."
Wang Hao nodded.
There are many problems, the cooling system control can not be bypassed, but also the power control, especially after high-speed rotation, it is not easy to control the power transmission.
In fact, similar to the quench protection problem of SMES technology energy storage coil, when the superconducting coil rotates at high speed, various problems will occur in the control system.
Wang Hao and Dou Yan talked about a lot of professional issues, and finally took away all the design plans.
This is also good for Dou Yan.
If his superconducting motor design scheme is activated, the superior department will also give a certain reward, and the results will be determined and recorded, and it will be much easier to apply for the project in the future.
……
Wang Hao returned to the anti-gravity vehicle experimental base in Xihai with the design of the open motor, and then found more than a dozen power experts to discuss the open motor plan.
Their research team lineup is much stronger than Dou Yan's team.
Each of the participants is at the level of professor, researcher, or senior engineer, not like Dou Yan's team, and some are students.
This large group of professionals discussed a design plan together, quickly found out the problems of the plan, and demonstrated how to modify and improve it.
However, some problems still cannot be solved, so Wang Hao asked everyone to come up with a plan, discuss and think of a way together, and demonstrate the overall design and each problem in detail.
The design plan, which was originally only about 30 pages, was revised and added from the first page, and then slowly became 50 or 100 pages.
The discussion went on for a week, and the design became a stack.
Wang Hao finalized the final plan, and immediately assigned the work, and asked others to reorganize and submit each part.
After that, it's time to find a partner factory to make it.
Although it is only a superconducting motor prototype, it takes 27 factories to distribute each component, and the most difficult part to manufacture is the most important coil, which takes half a month to complete.
Once all the work is done, the next step is to wait.
