QUOTE (Enthalpy @ Dec 2 2009, 08:21 PM) Not a bomb , once again. A big dart. No detonation. The dart goes through the concrete and the steel envelope, dispersing everything. You know what happens if you shoot a nuclear reactor with a non-explosive round capable of penetrating the shell and water? You get a nuclear reactor with a hole in it. Not such a big problem in the grand scheme of things. QUOTE Surface tension? Do this need an answer?...

The next question is whether a bunker buster could destroy the reactor by detonating next to it. These bombs are usually dropped from high altitude, and they cut through concrete like butter. Theoretically, if the bomb crashed through the power station roof and splashed into the water, it should sink to the bottom intact, and probably detonate. From what I understand, the reactor would probably be destroyed, but the water would probably still...

QUOTE Not a bomb, once again. A big dart. No detonation. The dart goes through the concrete and the steel envelope, dispersing everything. Sounds like your talking about sabot rounds. Tungsten or depleted uranium darts. Funny thing about them is that they don't actually come to a sharp point, their point is actually flat (they may have an artificial point for aerodynamic purposes). Why? For the rapid transfer of KE. I know when it comes...

Not a bomb , once again. A big dart. No detonation. The dart goes through the concrete and the steel envelope, dispersing everything. Water doesn't stop anything except the rifle bullet you know and Mythbusters play with. That same bullet stopped by 20cm water wouldn't break 1cm steel. But tiny antitank darts (from 40mm guns) go through >50mm steel. Surface tension? Do this need an answer? Water reservoir over the reactor:...

And you expect to pull more energy from the panels than you use in the light source? This post has been edited by AlexG on Today at 6:16 AM --------------------

Another simple way is to use laser light, and allow it to scan the inner sphere panels at a high rate of speed, with light reaching 186,000 m/s it would not effect the lumen's. Like a picture tube electron gun. This could be another way to get a constant lumen's on all of the panels too. This would use less energy and able to cover the total area sphere, no mater how big it is. I have tested many possibility, laser light is just a...

Is there any sites that would have the information on the type of weapons found on "terrorists" until now? Or is this classified and held secret? --------------------

I would think the ability to learn is key, in all respects. The storage and recall of information would only be a small part. A specific kind of connection of existing expansive systems ,with an ability to adapt, would be a approximate start. Kinda like if the Internet could hold a conversation with you and imagine what you look like. Isolation from self preservation for this system is necessary even in the dictionary sense. Self preservation...

I am Del Crabtree, I am a former Marine sniper. I have been working on a new type of ammunition and firearm. It (in theory) would use a solid propellant. I have found that in my private testing, that the ballistics are off the charts. I have come across a 'roadblock'. I am currently trying to figure out if maybe graphite would be able to resist the heat as well as have the flexibility, and to still be ridged enough to snap back into...
