I've been reading recently about some magnesium pieces that were recovered in 1957 during a crash of a UFO in Brazil. Testing was done on it, and it revealed that the normal trace elements and impure portions were not evident in the samples. Of course they later claimed that everything was normal, nothing to see here, move along please. But initially they were believed to be even more pure than those produced on earth.
Then I happened across this item:
Magnesium Injection Cycle (MAGIC) is an engine design under development by Mitsubishi Corporation and the Tokyo Institute of Technology that uses magnesium and water to generate power. The engine also makes use of solar-powered lasers.
The joint project, initiated in 2005 and still in the experimental stage, developed a prototype carbon dioxide (CO2)-free engine in 2006 that ran successfully without the need for fossil fuels. The chemical reaction between magnesium (in a powder form) and water at room temperature produces high-energy steam and hydrogen. The hydrogen is burned at the same time to produce additional high-energy steam. These two steam sources power the engine. The energy cycle produces no carbon dioxide or other harmful emissions. The only by-products of this reaction are water and magnesium oxide. The magnesium (a common metallic element) is separated from the oxygen through a solar-powered laser process (the development of which is already well advanced) and is reused over and over again as fuel.
Despite its small dimensions (approx. 5 cm in diameter and 13.5 cm in height), the engine can generate a heat output of several tens of kW from which power is obtained. The engine is intended for use in co-generation [Power companies], automobiles, ships, and many other areas. A statement in 2006 claimed that further research was planned to achieve commercialization within the next three years. No updated timeline has been released.
And probably no more will be, since the oil companies probably stepped all over it.
What's more, solar-powered lasers are used to renew the magnesium fuel with the only waste product being oxygen. The cycle is relatively simple: magnesium powder is mixed with water (H2O) at room temperature, upon which a chemical reaction occurs bonding the magnesium with the oxygen and creating heat energy. What's left is hydrogen, which is collected and burned to produce more heat with water as its byproduct.
The cycle renews itself by applying solar-powered lasers to break the oxidized magnesium back down to metallic magnesium and oxygen. The only energy used is sunlight while the waste products are oxygen, hydrogen and water. As for magnesium , it's hardly rare - the light, shiny metal is the ninth-most common element in the universe, makes up 2 percent of the earth's crust and is the third-most common element dissolved in seawater.
They are talking about a tiny engine (less than two inches by five inches)
which provides tens of kW (40 kW = 53.64 hp )
and is self-renewing. And as a bonus it gives off oxygen, for those
oxygen breathers out there.
Accepting that a more technologically advanced culture could make these even more powerful for a similar size, could this be part of their propulsion system used on UFO craft?
My own opinion is that these craft, in the past, had two propulsion systems - one to get them off the ground up to say a hundred feet, after which another type took over and blasted them out of sight.
Any thoughts on this?
