Beschreibung

Rocket Engines explores the fascinating science and technology behind the machines propelling us into space. It covers the fundamental physics governing their operation and traces the historical evolution of engine designs, from early experiments to modern systems. A key insight is that ongoing advancements in propulsion technology are crucial for more ambitious space exploration endeavors, influencing mission capabilities and payload capacity. For example, understanding thrust generation and nozzle design is vital for efficient space travel.

 
The book begins with the origins of rocketry and progresses through essential principles like Newton's laws of motion, specific impulse, and thermodynamics. It then delves into various engine types, including chemical rockets and electric propulsion systems, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages. A unique aspect of the book is its comprehensive coverage of both traditional and advanced propulsion concepts, offering a balanced perspective on the current state and future possibilities of space travel.

 
The book's structure is designed to build understanding chapter by chapter: starting with historical context and basic principles, then examining different engine types in detail, and finally exploring the evolution of rocket engine design. This approach, combined with clear explanations and diagrams, makes complex concepts accessible to a broad audience interested in space exploration and aerospace engineering.

How Antigravity Built the...

Nick Redfern

Discover the Lost Secrets of the Ancients and the Time When Stones Floated High over Egypt   Throughout history, folklore, and mystery, tales have circulated of massive stones being moved through the air effortlessly by sound. Bizarre? Well, yes, it is. That doesn't take away the fact that sound was, and still remains, the key to the construction of the pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge, the stone figures of Easter Island, and the massive stones at Baalbek, Lebanon. Were they the work of ancient humans or of equally ancient extraterrestrials?How Antigravity Built the Pyramids delves into specific stories and theories:• A 9th-century story of a mysterious papyrus with the power to move large stones at the Giza Necropolis • The Mayan story of the construction of the Pyramid of the Magician said to be overseen by a small humanoid who could whistle large stones into place • Native American stories of ancient priests being able to make stones light to move easily    Author Nick Redfern argues it was not literally music and whistling that somehow raised large stones, but both have one thing in common: sound. Acoustics. Almost certainly, acoustic levitation was at the heart of these incredible feats. The truth of the science behind acoustic levitation was lost and forgotten for ages with little more left than fanciful tales of music, whistles, a curious papyrus, and strange metal rods that could achieve incredible feats in the air. Today, we are finally starting to get a grasp on this incredible technology, a technology that may have been the work of ancient humans, aliens from faraway worlds—or, perhaps, a combination of the two.

Malaria is spread by mosquitos?

Ulick Stafford

We all know that malaria is an infectious disease spread by mosquitos. Female Anopheles mosquitos spread the infection, a microorganism called a plasmodium, when taking a blood meal. But as the quotation often attributed to Mark Twain says “What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so”. 
Malaria remains a serious illness in many parts of the world, blamed for 600,000 deaths per year. In this book Ulick Stafford investigates evidence about the mosquito-plasmodium hypothesis for its transmission and other potential causes or contributory factors. He looks at the early history of the illness. He reports on the early research of Laveran, Ross and Grassi who developed the accepted transmission story. The potential collateral damage caused by current treatment and prevention programmes are discussed. The contributory  effects of other factors, in particular malnutrition are introduced.
