"China's Underwater Boron Ramjet Engine Achieves 90% Efficiency

• Chinese scientists have successfully tested a powerful boron ramjet engine that can propel weapons at high speeds through both air and water. The engine achieved an impressive 90% efficiency in laboratory tests conducted in submarine mode, meeting the requirements for practical use.

• The boron-powered engine, designed for hypersonic weapons, utilizes air and water as oxidizing agents depending on the environment. It employs a unique design that enhances the combustion of solid fuel, enabling boron to burn more efficiently in vapor.

• During the tests, the engine exhibited stability with an unchanged flame and afterburner pressure. Sensors recorded an exhaust jet velocity exceeding Mach 3 and a combustion efficiency of 87%. Increasing the proportion of boron fuel resulted in a specific impulse of 4,712 newton-seconds per kilogram, surpassing SpaceX's Raptor rocket engine by one-third

• Boron's potential as a secondary energy source for liquid hydrocarbon fuel has been recognized, and various studies have explored its application in ramjet and scramjet propulsion systems. Despite its advantages, the native oxide layer in boron hindered ignition and combustion, limiting its practical use until recently"

I know most people on this forum hate Erdogan but the opposition to him in turkey wants to completely align turkey with the west and are extremely anti-china.

Erdogan atleast tries to maintain a balance
The reason why people on this forum hate Erdogan is because he is a two-headed snake. He says one thing, and then does another. Look to his Palestine and Russia policies as examples. I am well aware that the Turkish opposition and a majority of Turkish people are very anti-China, but at least they are truthful about it, and it saves China the time and effort of second guessing Turkey's intentions. An unreliable, treacherous "friend" can do more damage than an obvious enemy.

Turkey, like India is already a de-facto adversarial state to China. It is preferable for China to acknowledge that and just give Turkey standard relations. No special deals, and no special treatment. If they want to give shit to China, then China should give shit back. Russia should also do the same, but they have a historical tendency to keep trusting the wrong people.

Alot of scientific oriented civilizations are bankrupt even now let alone in past and its better they concentrated on Soft Power not this Scientific Hard power otherwise this world will be very different place. If you dont study this particular civilization than dont be surprized things turned out differently than expectations. basically world divided between Jews and Muslim elites and every one else stand behind these two groups. They want him to say this to Arabic version. wait for missile test before interview to make the boring interview headline.
LOLOLOL The Arabs would be so bankrupt they wouldn't even have a bank if they weren't sitting on oil. Don't make it look like the Arabs chose some magic soft power instead of hard power. They didn't think and they didn't choose. They were just lucky. If they were smart and understood science, they could fund it with their oil and rule the world. But they are stupid, so they are at the mercy of those who understand science and hard power. Those countries are the ones that sell the Arabs C tier weapons at A+++ tier prices and put shut off switches in them. They can use their A tier weapons to kill the Arabs and take their oil if they don't cooperate. Nothing beats science and nothing beats hard power.
yeah sure Arabs control nothing.
Correct for once
This long duration of Ukraine war cannot happen without Arabs.
1. That is stupid and untrue.
2. Even if it were true, there is no benefit to them so they are stupid anyway.
If you want to study Ukraine war or Syrian conflict. You study Arabic.
I don't and I won't.
if you want study Wealth. you study Arabic.
Funny, the business schools don't seem to agree with you because they don't teach Arabic or how to interact with them. Probably because they are unimportant and can be conversed with using the threat of a gun.
and if you want to study high technology than you study what direction they are giving it to countries like of Israel, Japan and Russia.
I study technology and I know of no technology that Arabs give anyone because they don't make any technology.
with Russia it goes much deeper due to religion. This link was posted by RT Arabic correspondent 5 years ago. but who knows when she filmed the Programme but the thing she mentioned Kinzal missile for Su-34. now just think about this prediction at time. once you put these missiles on tactical aircraft it means pilot training and mass productions starts along with transportation mechanisms to deliver those missiles to distributive airbases and targeting chain for long range strikes. it is like destroying naval ports and infrastructure to render opponent surface navy obsolete.
I do not care. Russian innovations do not depend on any Arabs.
It is all about hard power to protect that Soft Power.
That's about right; without hard power, there is no "soft power" so "soft power" is no power at all.
What is this? You need pictures to show that Russians have missiles? You have ADHD or something? Why all the useless pictures?

Biden's chip subsidy drama continues. It looks like Intel once again won't be getting that sweet subsidy. If anyone at TSMC still thinks they'll be able to get anything from US government, I got a bridge in Antarctica to sell them.
