The topic of space exploration is not as popular nowadays as it was in the Soviet times. This is influenced by a huge number of factors, but the main one can be called the lack of evolution in the technical segment. However, Russian scientist Vladimir Semenovich Leonov is working on a quantum engine.
Biography
I would like to start with the story of a great man - Vladimir Semenovich Leonov, but, unfortunately, there is not so much information about him. We can definitely say that this outstanding personality is a theoretical physicist and directly an experimenter. Leonov also became a laureate of the Russian Government Prize in the nomination of technology and science. It occupies a place in the first hundred leaders of industry and science in the Commonwe alth. He was recognized as the director of the year in the CIS in 2007. He is the chief designer, as well as the head of NPO Kvanton CJSC. Leonov is the author of the scientific discoveries of the quanton (quantum of space-time). It was Leonov who created the theory of Superunification. This theory was recognized as the theory of the century, and its direction was a new breath in energy (both ground and space).
Also in 2007, Leonov built his own laboratory, which was called "Leonov's Laboratory". After, after a short time, he began to experiment with gravity, the essence of which was to control. More precisely, he worked on the creation of such an engine that would create thrust without releasing the jet mass. As a result, the scientist partially achieved this, now his creations are called "Leonov's quantum engine", many argue that this is the engine of the future.
This is how you can literally tell about this person in a few words. As you can see, Leonov's personality is not public and is known only in small circles, but his discoveries received great publicity. It is precisely on them that I want to dwell in more detail.
Superunification Theory
First of all, you need to start with what served as a prerequisite for the creation of the Leonov engine. And this is directly the theory, which was called Superunification. It is named so because it is designed to combine four interactions. But at the moment, science recognizes the existence of only three, the fourth element is missing - the gravitational force. The theory itself originated from Albert Einstein's string theory and supersymmetry. In order not to go into details on this topic, it is worth saying only that it is the theory of Superunification that can bring such a science as energy to an absolutely new level.
And yet it lies in what it suggeststhe ubiquitous presence of various elements, which, unfortunately, modern science does not take into account at all. However, these elements were made public, and not by anyone, but by the creator of the Periodic Table of Elements - Mendeleev. Even more, the original form of the table included two zero elements. But alas, after it was reworked and the "unnecessary" particles were removed. Important for the theory of Superunification is an element called Newtonium, it was an element of ether. Mendeleev himself had great hopes for Newtonium, and he named it so in honor of the great physicist Newton.
General information
Telling about the achievements of the scientist, first of all, they mention his greatest unit, called Leonov's quantum engine. When creating it, the author just turned to such an element as Newtonium. However, Leonov himself did not call it that, he called it a canton, saying that only by interacting with this element it would be possible to create a completely new generation power plant.
Based on this, we can confidently state that the Superunification theory has the right to exist, which many scientists are trying to refute. However, Leonov found the courage to return to the past and remember the forgotten element, and not just remember, but use it as a starting point in his research.
Further in the article we will talk directly about the engine itself.
About Leonov's invention
First of all, speaking of a unit called a quantum engine, you should forget about thisphenomenon, like a photon engine. This is what the author himself says, since the second engine has a completely different scheme and is not similar to the quantum one. Now, for the sake of clarity, it is worth highlighting their main differences. The bottom line is that the photon engine works by annihilation of antimatter and matter, that is, it creates jet thrust, which pushes the object. The quantum engine works very differently. For movement, it uses the energy of gravitational waves and the elasticity of space itself. Scientists immediately rejected this option, calling his work pseudoscience, and now they are only trying to modernize what has long been created and simply exhausted its potential. And this, roughly speaking, does not need to be proved, it is only necessary to take the characteristics of the first full-fledged Wernher von Braun rocket and the modern one. The fact is that the modern rocket engine is only twice the performance of the first. From this it follows that the absolute limit has been reached, and further work in this direction will either be unsuccessful or simply meaningless.
For example, a nuclear rocket engine is very dangerous, and an electric motor is not capable of showing great thrust, that is, it is unsuitable for launching rockets into space. And if you look at the Leonov engine, it seems incredibly promising. One cannot even imagine what changes will follow if it is successfully implemented. It is clear that technologies and, in particular, technology are being radically transformed. In order to at least slightly understand its potential, it is enough to say that theoretically with the help of it you can reach the moonget to Mars in four hours, and to Mars - in just two days.
Experiments with the engine
In the life of Leonov Vladimir Semenovich there was an incredible number of experiments and various experiments. However, when asked about it, he immediately starts talking about the most outstanding one, which happened in 2009. The experimenter himself claims that then he was able to create a quantum gravitational engine that accelerated an object without using reactive force in this matter. This became a starting point, because from that time Leonov was able to vertically lift the object along the guide rails without using the wheel drive. This phenomenon, according to the creator himself, confirms the theory mentioned above.
After the overwhelming success, the hour of calm came, and five years later, only in 2014, bench tests were carried out, where the engine of the future was presented. The results he showed were incredible: despite the fact that his weight was fifty-four kilograms, the thrust impulse reached unimaginable seven hundred kilogram-force, while the acceleration was 10 joules. It is also interesting that the engine itself requires only electricity and can work without a body. Also, based on this experience, it was found that the cost of electricity is only one kilowatt. These characteristics are stunning, because the most advanced rocket jet engine that exists today generates only one-tenth of a kilogram-force, wasting the same one kilowatt of electricity.
Nowit remains only to imagine what will happen if a quantum engine is created. Then the payload of the rocket will reach ninety percent. And this despite the fact that it is now only a meager five percent.
Scientist skepticism
Despite the experiments, most scientists in this field are skeptical about Leonov's engine, saying that his creation will not work in a vacuum.
Vladimir Semenovich himself responds in kind, opposing the Russian Academy of Sciences and the commission to combat pseudoscience, in particular. In 2012, he stated that her activities can simply be called criminal, and the talk that his project is hopeless is disinformation. Leonov also has an opinion that the commission is a foreign special project, which is designed to stop the technical progress of his country.
It is also impossible not to notice that developments in this direction are being carried out not only in Russia, but also abroad, in particular, in the west. However, the US, Russia and China make quantum rocket engines in different ways, it would be more accurate to say that their schemes simply differ, because no one wants to reveal their secrets. But the success of our colleagues abroad is insignificant, in contrast to the domestic breakthrough.
It is impossible not to note Leonov's cheerful enthusiasm and his patriotism, he simply does not look at the statements of the Russian Academy of Sciences and is confident that modernization and economic growth will come in just two or three years. By the way, this is comparable to the promises of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.
Leonov alsoalso criticizes the discovery of the Higgs boson. Back in 2012, he opposed this idea, saying that the problem was solved back in 1996, when the zero element in the Periodic Table of Mendeleev was discovered - the same quanton.
Advantages of a quantum engine
Above in the text, many advantages of a quantum engine were listed compared to jet or photon. But it's still worth collecting everything in one place and combining everything into a list for convenience. So, Leonov's engine has the following advantages:
- Ninety tons of payload. In other words, nine hundred percent, while jet engines only reach five percent.
- Maximum speed. A rocket with this engine is capable of speeds of a thousand kilometers per second, while the RD develops eighteen kilometers per second.
- The ability to move with acceleration. The device has a long thrust impulse.
- The flight to the Moon with this engine will last only three and a half hours, while to Mars - only two days.
- Versatility. The Leonov engine can be used not only in the space industry, it will perfectly cope in such conditions as under water, in the air and on the ground.
- This engine will increase the aircraft's maximum flight altitude so they can reach the 100-kilometer mark.
- Low fuel consumption. The engine needs very little power, due to the fact that the vehicles will fly by inertia.
- The plane will be able to fly the wholeyear without additional refueling.
- If a car were fitted with a quantum engine and in turn fueled with cold fusion fuel, the car would be able to travel ten million kilometers without stopping at gas stations.
- This motor is powered by electrical energy.
Of course, this is an incomplete list of the positive qualities of the engine, because all this exists only in theory. And only after the implementation will it become one hundred percent clear what he is capable of.
Application
It is worth mentioning now where this engine can be applied. Of course, the main environment for him is space. It will be created for this, but there are still other areas of application. In addition to rockets, it will be possible to equip cars, sea transport, railway transport, aircraft and underwater vehicles with a quantum engine. It also fits perfectly for the power supply of ordinary residential premises. It is also suitable for sintering building materials with current.
Thus, this discovery will provide huge segments, which will make life easier and improve the lives of millions of people several times over.
Energy sources
Of course, we must not forget how to feed the quantum engine, because no matter how perfect it is, it needs raw materials to work. And this source must be incredibly powerful. A cold fusion reactor, which, in turn, runs on nickel, is perfect for providing.
This reactor is much better than the existing ones, because just one kilogram of nickel in the cold fusion mode can release as much energy as one million kilograms of gasoline.
Comparative characteristics
All of the above, of course, conveys all the technical aspects and advantages of the engine, but, as they say, everything is known in comparison. What happens if we draw parallels between modern rocket engines and the quantum engine of Vladimir Semenovich Leonov?
So, modern space engines for one kilowatt of power are capable of achieving thrust equal to one newton, which is equivalent to one tenth of a kilogram-force. The quantum engine is several times superior to the rocket one. For the same one kilowatt, its thrust is five thousand newtons, which is equivalent to five hundred kilogram-force. As you can see, Leonov's development is able to multiply the efficiency, which, in turn, will give humanity a new technological era.
