Boeing wants to create a force shield
The company "Boeing", which is known for their aircraft and military equipment, decided to patent something sci-Fi. We are talking about the protective force fields which we could see in the acclaimed "Star wars."
According to the developers, the new technology can be used to protect ground vehicles from explosions in the place of fighting.
However, the system is unlikely to protect from direct hits of shells and shrapnel. If the explosion of the warhead will occur near the object, then the force field should save him from the blow of a blast wave.
Presenting the project, it can be assumed that the jeeps in the United States will ride through the desert in a beautiful balloon force fields. But things will be different.
The system will detect the explosion, and then track the blast wave. Arc generator ionizes a small portion of the air and create a shield in the form of a plasma field, which will reflect the wave. The shield is formed with a laser, electricity and microwaves.
First, the installation detects the direction from which the shock wave is moving, then he fires lasers ionizing the air and creating a plasma field.
Plasma shield small size there is a clear difference from the ambient space (temperature, density, and composition). Thus, it can be a buffer between the shock wave and the protected object.
It is important that the system can heat up, therefore not able to create a protective ball and stay too long. The experts found that the electromagnetic field tends to keep the plasma shield in the space and reflect light. Those who took refuge shield will not have for him any review. The system will be able to protect not only the land equipment, and buildings, ships, and planes.
This patent can already be found on the website of the U.S. patent office. The idea of the invention belongs to Brian Tillotson, an employee of the Boeing Corporation.
The developer believes that in the future its technology will protect not only land transport, but also aircraft and ships.
However, as practice shows, the inventions that are patented are not always translated into reality. Sometimes they become the only way for the company to insure against competitors. Let's see what happens in this case. published
