China’s new microwave weapon made to zap Taiwan
Stirling engine-powered high-power microwave weapon may herald new era in directed-energy urban warfare technologies

Quote:In what may be the first of its kind, Chinese scientists have unveiled a new Stirling engine-powered high-power microwave (HPM) weapon, marking a significant leap in directed-energy warfare technology with possible applications in future urban warfare scenarios.

This month, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that Chinese scientists have claimed to develop an HPM weapon driven by four compact and efficient Stirling closed-cycle heat engines.

SCMP notes that Stirling engines in China’s new HPM design efficiently convert thermal energy into mechanical energy, working together as a reverse heat pump.

The report mentions that the superconducting coil generates a magnetic field with a strength of up to four teslas harnessed to drive HPM waves powerful enough to suppress drones, military aircraft and even satellites.

China claims that it is the world’s first openly reported HPM weapon based on Stirling engine technology.

If it’s popcorn that burns too easily and can linger in your office for days, a lady I work with already invented it…

Oh no

Better send thr Ukraine another billion

I thought DEWs were just something that tin-foil hat wearing nutters believe?

Paint me as scared. Hope the trigger does malfunction trying to use it. I can see it now trying to mass produce and can’t get the spare parts to assemble correctly

Chinese invented gunpowder so it’s only logical they can invent another groundbreaking weapon right?

Better paint your roof tops blue.....

In case you missed it, that was recently tested and it passed the test.

Oh my, we should just give them the country already. We're done, literally. LOL
