Pages : 434
Book Description
What Is Energy Shield A force field is a barrier made of things such as energy, negative energy, dark energy, electromagnetic fields, gravitational fields, electric fields, quantum fields, plasma, particles, radiation, solid light, or pure force. In speculative fiction, a force field is also sometimes referred to as an energy shield, force shield, force bubble, or deflector shield. Other names for a force field include energy shield, force shield, force bubble, or deflector shield. It can defend a person, an area, or an item from assaults or invasions, and it can even redirect energy strikes back at the person who launched them. This fictitious technology is created as a field of energy that does not have any mass and functions as a wall. Because of this, objects that are affected by the specific force that is related to the field are unable to pass through the field and reach the other side; instead, they are either deflected or destroyed. Research conducted in the 21st century has investigated not just the possibility of deflecting radiation or cosmic rays, but also of developing more comprehensive shielding. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Force field (technology) Chapter 2: Interplanetary spaceflight Chapter 3: Spacecraft propulsion Chapter 4: Solar wind Chapter 5: Magnetic sail Chapter 6: Antimatter rocket Chapter 7: Tractor beam Chapter 8: Shields (Star Trek) Chapter 9: Van Allen radiation belt Chapter 10: Cyclotron radiation Chapter 11: Physics and Star Wars Chapter 12: Heliosphere Chapter 13: Plasma window Chapter 14: Space environment Chapter 15: Plasmasphere Chapter 16: Force field Chapter 17: Van Allen Probes Chapter 18: Astronautical hygiene Chapter 19: Health threat from cosmic rays Chapter 20: Energetic neutral atom Chapter 21: Technology in Star Wars (II) Answering the public top questions about energy shield. (III) Real world examples for the usage of energy shield in many fields. (IV) 17 appendices to explain, briefly, 266 emerging technologies in each industry to have 360-degree full understanding of energy shield' technologies. Who This Book Is For Professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who want to go beyond basic knowledge or information for any kind of energy shield.
