THE MAIN PROPERTIES OF THE MICROWAVE ARMOURING WAISTCAT
The microwave armuring waistcat offered by the Nanoworld laboratory provides protection from:
THE MICROWAVE ARMOUR
Now armour is made of matter. However, such armour would be more preferential, which not admit a bullet up to the target.
The zone of a nearfield of a microwave resonator can serve as such armour.
Now many matters warm up, melt and evaporate in the microwave furnaces. In particular, the majority of metals is suitable for such smelting. The speed of heating, smelting and evaporation depends on the power transmitted to heated up object.
Let's allow, that the bullet flys in a zone of a microwave resonator of decimetre range with speed of 2000 metres per second. The field length makes 1 meter. What power of the process of the power transmission from a resonator to a bullet should be, so that it has time to heat to melting point, to be melted, to heat to a boiling temperature and to evaporate?
Time in which the process should get through makes 1 [m] / 2000 [m/sec] = 0.0005 [c]. So the process should get through in a half of a millisecond.
If the classic weight of a bullet is equal 9 grammes, and the energy of full evaporation of lead makes 3 000 000 [J/kg], for evaporation of 9 grammes of lead it is necessary to expend approximately 30 000 joules of energy.
It is necessary to develop the power equal to 30 000 [J] / 0.0005 [c] = 60 000 000 Watt (60 MW) for the transmission of 30 000 joules of energy in 0.0005 seconds.
Certainly this power isn't small but quite substantial if to take into account, that at a photography with a magnesium photoflash is given off approximately as much of energy for the same time.
Calculating the power of the hypothetical laser waistcoat, figured on Tibetan, Mongolian, Chinese etc. icons (fig. 1) I have received the power of one cell equal 900 Watt. The cells will form an integrated power grid, as the connection between cells is set structurally.
In armouring waistcoat with resonators of a decimetre frequency range the sizes of a cell make 10x10 see.
Transformed into geseous state the bullet isn't a danger to the man – target, as the energy of evaporation is less than energy of combustion on the order. The blank shot from spacing interval 0.3 m in 10 times is more terrible, but as is known, is not dangerous for armouring waistcoat.
The mobility of such waistcoat will depend on a type of a power source.
The power sources used now obviously do not suit for continuous operation of the microwave armouring waistcoat.
The armouring waistcoat of continuous operating requires a new power source.
The microwave source of energy offered by us, (see article "An ecologically pure microwave source of energy") could serve as such souce of energy.
For obtaining power about 1 000 megawatt in a continuous mode it is necessary to make crystalline power sources of thermal range or metallical power sources of a decimetre range.
Each cell of a power source for the armouring waistcoat can be represented by a crystal resonator with a 2 mm diametr (in the millimeter range 1 000 megawatt can be given by 100 000 diamond resonators, each of which will weigh approximately 100 milligrams). The total weight of such power source will make approximately 10 kgs.
This version of armouring waistcoat is not cost effective now, since the diamonds made on modern know-how are expensive.
The version of a decimetre range can be profitable today. The cells of a power source of such waistcoat will be served by angle reflectors.
Such armouring waistcoat can defend from small-sized bullets, transforming them in a wind of a lead vapour. It is impossible to be defended from large shells in such a way, since even having turned to vapour, it simplly will blow off a soldier from a place with fatal acceleration.
PROTECTION AGAINST A LASER BEAM (ANGLE REFLECTORS)
The armouring waistcoat from angle reflectors (see fig. 2 and fig. 3) provides protection. The path of beam in an angle reflector ensuring reflection of beams in a direction precisely opposite their incidence is shown on fig. 4.
It would be desirable to offer an idea of the creation of a slowpiece of the armouring wistcat, for the beginning from ordinary angle reflectors.
At any rate it can defend from the laser high-power beams. The effective demonstration installation can attract the large investors. The cost of this installation is determined by the cost of the angle reflectors and makes a few of bucks. As the first laser it is possible to use the laser pointer.
The main expenses are the rent of an exhibition area and a salary of the demonstrator.
PROTECTION AGAINST BULLETS BY AN ANGLE REFLECTOR
As a first approximation the bullet behaves similarly to a light beam, being reflected back from a surface of a metal. This phenomenon is called a ricochet. After each ricochet the pulse of a bullet is distributed between a bullet and an angle reflector as shown on a fig. 4. As it is visible from a figure the forces which are operational on an angle reflector are directed at 120 grades and are mutually compensated. Thus the flasher essentially reduces efficiency of a bullet reallocating its pulse.
