Real Life Star Destroyer

The Star Destroyers travel at up to the speed of light due to their ‘Microwave Thrusters’



Inside of their Microwave Thrusters are two microwave transmitters connected to the inside dome of the thrusters by Spider Silk and Polymer armor coated Class A Titanium, the inside of these Rods hold wires that send currents, produced by Fusion Reactors behind the wall of the Thrusters, to the Microwave Transmitters themselves, this is what powers them.

These Microwave Transmitters are powered by two 100% efficient fusion reactors as stated above, and they are so powerful that they heat the front of the thrusters to 200000000 Kelvin from the inside in just 5 hours. Since there are two Microwave Thrusters, the Craft moves at 500 Metres Per Second, according to the formula E=MV^^ (^ means squared)



But since the Microwave transmitters emit large quantities of thrust themselves, they slow the Craft down, but they don't produce nearly a fraction of the thrust that the Microwave Thrusters do after another 5 hours, eventually the heat they produce will cancel out their own recoil.

The Fusion Reactors need to supply so much power that they themselves are powered by a Super Fusion Reactor, AND about 5 tons of hafnium and helium 3, so they can perform more than 100%.

They are not powered by 'Antimatter Warp Drives' because Antimatter costs more than Fusion Reactors, and to make so much Antimatter, we would need tons of expensive particle excellerators on the Star Destroyer, giving the crew less space.

"We believed the world would not be the same, a few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent, I remembered a line from the Hindu scripture, the bagavagita, Vishnu was trying to convince the prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, he takes on his multi-armed form and says, Now I have become death, destroyer of worlds. I suppose we all thought that, in one way or another"

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
