00:00 Hi, you are watching InDeath with me Ila.
00:06 Today, I have brought to you a very major development in the field of laser weapons.
00:12 Chinese military scientists have announced a major breakthrough in laser weapon technology,
00:17 claiming that they have developed a new cooling system that now allows high-energy lasers
00:21 to operate infinitely without any buildup of waste heat.
00:25 Chinese scientists at the National University of Defense Technology in Hunan Province assert
00:30 that the new cooling system completely eliminates the harmful heat that is generated during
00:35 the operation of high-energy lasers.
00:38 This issue has been a major technical challenge for laser weapon development.
00:42 But with this new technology, weapons can now generate laser beams for as long as they
00:47 want without any interruption or degradation in performance.
00:51 Furthermore, high-quality beams can be produced not just in the first second or first few
00:56 seconds, but they can also be maintained indefinitely now.
01:00 The new cooling system uses advanced structures and optimized gas flow to remove heat from
01:06 inside the laser weapon, while minimizing turbulence and vibration and improving mirror
01:10 cleanliness.
01:12 Although in the last 60 years, various types of lasers have been developed, the application
01:17 of high-energy laser systems has not been so successful.
01:21 Let's understand how the laser weapons work.
01:24 Inside the laser weapon, a high-energy beam is generated through a process called stimulated
01:29 emission.
01:30 This involves exciting atoms or molecules in a gain medium, such as a crystal or gas,
01:36 to a higher energy state.
01:38 When these excited atoms or molecules return to their ground state, they emit photons,
01:43 which are then amplified through a process of optical feedback to create a high-energy
01:47 laser beam.
01:49 The beam control system is responsible for directing and controlling the laser beam,
01:53 typically through the use of mirrors and lenses.
01:56 This system must be highly precise and stable, as even small deviations or vibrations can
02:01 cause the beam to miss its designated course.
02:05 But as the laser beam passes through the air, it heats up the gas in its path, causing it
02:10 to expand and create a turbulent flow.
02:13 This turbulence can cause the beam to scatter and distort, reducing its effectiveness and
02:17 accuracy.
02:19 In some cases, larger pollutant particles burning on the mirrors can even result in
02:23 them being cracked or damaged, greatly reducing the practicability and reliability of the
02:28 high-energy laser weapons.
02:31 The Chinese team has developed an internal beam path conditioner, a system that blows
02:35 gas through the weapon to remove waste heat and improve gas cleanliness.
02:40 It is designed to be compact and efficient, with a focus on optimizing gas flow and minimizing
02:45 size and weight.
02:47 It has several key components, including an air source, a heat exchanger, a gas flow control
02:53 system and a gas injection/suction system.
02:56 This essentially means that the power of the laser weapon systems can be enhanced dramatically.
03:02 Laser weapons have the advantage of being able to engage targets at the speed of light,
03:07 making them highly effective against fast-moving targets.
03:10 They also have the potential to be more cost-effective than traditional missile-based systems as
03:15 they do not require expensive munitions and can be recharged quickly.
03:20 All of these mean that perhaps China has got a new, lethal, and next-generation weapon
03:25 in its arsenal now.
