Is it possible to fire nuclear projectiles from artillery mounts?

Nuclear weapons usually refer to missiles or bombs dropped from aircraft. However, there are also nuclear artillery shells launched by artillery mounts. Such systems were intensively developed both in the USA and in the USSR, but after the end of the Cold War, almost all nuclear weapons for artillery were eliminated by both sides.

Where and when was a tsunami over 500 meters high recorded?

In 1958, a powerful earthquake was recorded in Alaska, accompanied by a landslide of 30 million cubic meters of rock and ice into Lituya Bay. This caused the so-called megatsunami - a wave with a height of 524 meters, the highest recorded by mankind, which hit the mountains adjacent to the sea. Due to the sparsely populated area, the death toll was limited to only five. A similar landslide at the Vaiont Dam in Italy in 1963 raised a 250-meter-high wave that destroyed several villages and claimed the lives of more than two thousand people.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

New digital IGBT driver 31.08.2008

Semikron has introduced a new generation of IGBT gate drivers. The SKYPER 52 driver, based on a digital signal processor, allows the transmission of isolated control and sensor signals, as well as individual setting of the protection circuit.

The use of the SKYPER 52 driver makes it possible to simplify and reduce the cost of developing powerful converter devices and improve the reliability of the entire system. The SKYPER 52 digital driver is designed to drive IGBTs with an operating voltage of 1200 and 1700 V.

With 9W per channel and up to 50A peak output current, it is capable of paralleling modules with a total collector current of 9000A. In addition, the SKYPER 52 is suitable for high-frequency applications that require a powerful control circuit capable of operating at frequencies up to 100 kHz.

The driver isolation voltage is 4 kV and the gate turn-off voltage is -15 V. Input signal levels of 3,3 and 5 V (LVDS standard) make it possible to connect the SKYPER 52 directly to the output of the microcontroller.
