“...the country’s new Gauss gun can fire a 124-kilogram (273-pound) projectile at a speed of 700 kilometers (435 miles) per hour in less than 0.05 seconds.”
Although not much details on the railgun are available, it is worth noting that the weapon utilizes electromagnetism instead of chemical energy used in conventional firearms to fire at their targets.
According to the outlet, the “futuristic” weapon could “revolutionize” warfare through faster, more accurate, and more devastating attacks.
“Simulations by Chinese scientists have found a high-speed kinetic energy weapon weighing just 20kg could stop a US tank in its tracks”
“They found that a solid sphere, weighing 20kg (44lb) and hurtling towards its target at about four times the speed of sound, could spell disaster for advanced tanks manufactured to US military standards.”
“The kinetic energy carried by such a projectile would be around 25 megajoules. This value may seem large, but when converted into electrical energy it is less than 7 kilowatt-hours, scarcely more than the energy it takes to cook two turkeys for Christmas.”
“Chinese military scientists have announced a major breakthrough in laser weapon technology, claiming they have developed a new cooling system that allows high-energy lasers to operate “infinitely” without any build-up of waste heat.
According to scientists at the National University of Defence Technology, in Changsha, Hunan province, the new cooling system completely eliminates the harmful heat that is generated during the operation of high-energy lasers. The issue has been a major technical challenge for laser weapon development.
With the new technology, weapons can now generate laser beams for as long as they want, without any interruption or degradation in performance.”...
