Directed Energy Weapon — Als Energiewaffen (engl. Directed Energy Weapons oder DEW) bezeichnet man eine neue Generation von Waffensystemen, die mit gebündelter Energie militärische Ziele vertreiben, paralysieren, schädigen oder vernichten sollen. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1… … Deutsch Wikipedia
Flywheel energy storage — NASA G2 flywheel Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel s rotational speed… … Wikipedia
Particle beam weapon — A particle beam weapon uses an ultra high energy beam of atoms or electrons (i.e., a particle beam) to damage a material target by hitting it, and thus disrupting its atomic and molecular structure. A particle beam weapon is a type of directed… … Wikipedia
Less-lethal weapon — Less lethal weapons, less than lethal weapons, non lethal weapons, non deadly weapons, or, more recently, compliance weapons are weapons intended to be unlikely to kill or to cause great bodily injury to a living target. In the past, police (or… … Wikipedia
High-energy radio-frequency weapons — (HERF) or High Power Radio Frequency weapons (HPRF) are weapons that use high intensity radio waves to disrupt electronics. They are a type of directed energy weapon. They operate similarly to electromagnetic pulse (EMP) devices, by inducing… … Wikipedia
Electromagnetic Weapon — Loren Thompson, chief operating officer of the Lexington Institute in Virginia states that: “The relevant [electromagnetic weapon] technology is well within the grasp of some countries and transnational terrorist groups, and further states that U … Wikipedia
Magnetic weapon — A magnetic weapon is one that uses magnetic fields to accelerate and propel projectiles, or to focus charged particle beams. There are many hypothesised magnetic weapons, such as the railgun and coilgun which accelerate a magnetic(in the case of… … Wikipedia
