This illustrates CLEARLY that for high-energy photons , striking electrons at 180° , the energy transfer amount ( E re max ) does approach 90° !
As I stated before , photons are NOT matter , and their interactions are "quantum" strange .
High-energy photons will raise electrons to relativistic speeds , at this point the depleted photons can be dumped overboard ( GLD ! ) . The wave of high-energy electrons will hit the target HARD , as opposed to the photon launch side , which had neglegible recoil .
It is fairly easy for even a layman to understand , as long as there's no formula-spouting jerk-water spewing wheelbarrows of BS in their face , so that they get intimidated , and give up !
By the way , why the **** are you trying to fool the inventor of this damned thing , are you a masochist , or do you have some rediculous ulterior motive ?
First ; I don't "need" to learn squat !
I just need to design a machine which produces more kinetic impact on one end , than on the other
I just need to track energy transfers , and voila , imbalance !
The hard part IS the creativity
Second : You misrepresent me as usual . I said "heavier" , not very heavy . Fractionally heavier will do what I said .
Third : I specifically began my quest here , in order to find/create a macro version of the Shockwave engine
Perhaps someday ,
Incidentally , I hated low-brow school
Light is not billiard balls .
A gigawatt of kinetic energy pumped into a stream of billiard balls would , indeed , knock down buildings .
A GW pumped into a stream of photons NEVER will , no matter how much you jump up screaming about it !
Remember , I had to correct your energy-transfer percentage .
A special helicopter hovers nearby , and uses a secret weapon to add 1 GW of KE to the right-hand stream of balls
Remember , I had to correct your energy-transfer percentage . 90% is a pretty big number !
The helicopter experiences 1 measly , little , pound of recoil !P.
If I take a 1 sq.mtr. of plasma at standard liquid hy. density ,
...........Calculating SpaghettiYour calc.s be suspect !
If I take a 1 sq.mtr. of plasma at standard liquid hy. density , and accelerate every electron to .9c , I get a kinetic energy of 25.5 GJ !
Try out THIS analogy : Two billiard ball launchers are firing 100 fps streams of balls at side-by-side brick buildings . A special helicopter hovers nearby , and uses a secret weapon to add 1 GW of KE to the right-hand stream of balls . Which ball-stream bounces off , and which blows it's house apart ?
That's right , just admit it has potential !
You aren't getting how it functions
that stream now impacts like a MOAB at the target
......................Grok it !Your launch recoil should be ~1lb.
Your IMPACT energy should be above 2 GJ .
Calculate the kinetic energy of two grams of matter at .9c , then get back to me .P.M.
