(Worthy News) – Chinese Scientists have claimed a breakthrough in creating a High-Power Microwave (HPM) weapon, marking a quantum leap in directed-energy warfare for use in urban warfare combat scenarios, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported.
China asserts that it has developed the world’s first high-power microwave (HPM) weapon, publicly reported to utilize Stirling engine technology. SCMP highlights that in China’s latest High Power Microwave (HPM) design, Stirling engines effectively transform thermal energy into mechanical energy, functioning collectively like a reverse heat pump.
The SCMP reports that the device’s continuous, steady-state magnetic field is 68,000 times stronger than Earth’s magnetic field, which is nearly half the strength of the magnetic field produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe.
The report indicates that the superconducting coil creates a magnetic field reaching strengths of up to four teslas, which is utilized to propel High Power Microwave (HPM) waves. These waves are potent enough to neutralize drones, military aircraft, and satellites.
The report highlights that this weapon system, compact enough to be transported in a truck, features a notable decrease in energy usage for creating a strong magnetic field compared to current technologies. Based on initial testing, China asserts that the system uses just one-fifth of the energy needed by existing approaches and is capable of running continuously for up to four hours.
