Track And Field Information

Theory

According to Michio Kaku's theory presented in his book "Physics of the Impossible", a multi layered forcefield could work if it consisted of an outer layer of supercharged plasma window heated to temperatures hot enough to vaporize metals, a second layer consisting of curtains of high-energy laser beams in a lattice which would heat up objects that passed through it causing the objects to vaporize, and a third layer consisting of a lattice of carbon nanotubes which would create a screen of extraordinary strength and be capable of repelling objects. The carbon nanotube screen would be invisible which would make it unable to stop laser beams unless photochromatics were used to change the optical properties of the carbon nanotube screen when exposed to laser light.

Plasma Window

The plasma window fills a volume of space with plasma which is confined by a magnetic shield. It was invented by Ady Hershcovitch at the Bookhaven National Laboratory and patented in 1995. In 1996, the plasma valve was invented using a plasma window. Plasma windows are generally heated to 15, 000 Kelvin but the temperature varies depending upon the application. StarTram has included a plasma window in its proposal for a Generation 1 maglev space launch system.

Lasers

Laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation which is basically how a laser works. The word "light" includes all forms of electromagnetic radiation such as ultraviolet, x-ray and infrared. There have been many people who have contributed to the invention of lasers over the last 75 years.
