The constant accumulation of harmful heat is a major technical challenge in the development of laser weapons.
Chinese scientists from the National University of Defense Technology have created a new cooling system that allows high-energy lasers to run “indefinitely” without the accumulation of excess heat. About this on Wednesday, August 15, the local edition of the South China Morning Post wrote.
Heat accumulation has been a major obstacle in the development of laser weapons.
“The new cooling system will allow laser beams to be generated indefinitely, without degrading performance or interferences,” the scientists said.
In their opinion, the development will allow the creation of high-quality rays indefinitely.
“The new cooling system minimizes vibration and improves the clarity of the reflection beams. It can significantly change the nature of the battle by extending the duration, range and destructive power of laser weapons ,” They said.
The scientists explained that the laser, when used in its path, heats the gas, creating a turbulent flow. This, in turn, can spread or distort the beam, reducing its efficiency and accuracy. Now they have developed a system for blowing gas through the weapon to remove waste heat.
The publication writes that China is developing laser weapons to destroy air targets – drones, missiles and aircraft. Such methods seem to make it possible to gain a “strategic advantage” in space conflicts.
Remember that Ukraine needs equipment and weapons that can facilitate the passage of Ukrainian troops to the areas inherited by the Russians.
