Well as I often times do, I did speak erroneously what I meant to say was Photon torpedoes. :shake:


However; Tampon Torpedoes seems to have sparked more of a dialog.

Why it would be hard to believe that this exists is beyond me.

We have "force fields" now, the problem isn't making it work it's making the power source small and portable (which it doesn't appear anywhere close to.)

Frankie can't believe it for the simple fact that it doesn't make Bush look bad.

Given enough time he'd find a way to **** it up.

He'll be here in town the next few days but I doubt I'll manage to muster the give a damn to go see him...

We do? I don't think so.

Swirling in and around one another, a plasmas charged particles interact constantly, giving rise to localized attractions or repulsions. External energy splashing against the plasma --- say, from a potentially disabling, concentrated burst of microwaves, or perhaps even from certain varieties of particle-beam weapons fired from military bases on Earth -- could be caught up within the plasmas complex electromagnetic fields to be dissipated completely or deflected into space.

Hotter plasmas, while dense, dont appear immediately practical as a defensive shield because of destructive temperatures and high power requirements. In theory, cold plasmas can be made denser, but like their hotter kin will demand more power. Energy availability and weight --- the larger the required wattage, the heavier the equipment --- would remain thorny issues.

"In theory, a plasma could deflect a particle beam or laser attack," Laroussi says. "It depends on what youre shooting at it and how high you can tune the plasma frequency. That doesnt mean its easy or practically achievable, particularly with a cold plasma. Its a tough requirement to meet at present."

Maybe a combination of the two technologies would make a complete package.

Now where's the warp drive?

That’s interesting. I was wondering how they overcame the high drag of water.
Race boats with a couple 1000 hp motors and less than 10% of the hull actually in the water at speed have a hard time consistently break’n 200 MPH, so I didn’t think it was something that just making more thrust was gonna overcome.

We all realize the Israelies are light years ahead of the Islamists in all aspects of daily life, taking it out on Fox News makes you look like a whinny partisan biatch.

The timing seems suspect after Iran announced their 'so called' super torpedo but since this has nothing to do with stopping torpedos, I'm going to take it at face value.

What Chief Faithful is talk’n ‘bout has been posted here on the Planet before, picture of HFL (huge fugg’n laser) attached.
It was successfully tested a few years ago when it shot down an inbound ballistic missile.

Since then, smaller versions have been used to shoot down projectiles as small as artillery shells. Popped’em right out’a the sky. Pretty impressive if you ask me.
This looks to me like the natural progression of that project.
