The US Naval Research Laboratory has funded a groundbreaking project to develop a new hypersonic engine capable of morphing its shape during flight to optimize power, thrust and efficiency. It’s now entering experimental testing in Florida.Continue Rea… Continue reading Morphing hypersonic engine project is underway at UCF
In what it describes as the most significant demonstration of its kind in half a century, the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) beamed 1.6 kW of power over a kilometer (3,280 ft) using a microwave beam at the US Army Research Field in Maryland.Continu… Continue reading US Navy wirelessly beams 1.6 kW of power a kilometer using microwaves
The US Naval Research Laboratory (AFL) is developing an Argon Fluoride (ArF) laser that may one day make fusion power a practical commercial technology. The wide-bandwidth ultraviolet laser is designed to have the shortest laser wavelength that can sca… Continue reading Argon fluoride laser could lead to practical fusion reactors
When the US Air Force’s X-37B autonomous spaceplane launched into orbit for the sixth time this week, it was carrying an experiment to explore the potential for beaming solar energy from space to Earth. The Photovoltaic Radio-frequency Antenna Module (… Continue reading X-37B spaceplane experiment to test tech for beaming solar power to Earth
