摘要: The system includes radiation generation and transmission components which radiate tuned microwave electromagnetic energy outwardly from a vehicle through an antenna into fluid medium the is moving. at frequency of harmonic resonance excitation molecules produces efficient heating ionizing resulting in reduction mass density thereof. This decreases drag forces acting on greatly enhanced aerodynamic and/or hydrodynamic efficiency also intensity shock waves (which often lead to sonic booms). An aircraft's dramatically higher speed surrounding rarefied can make it appear be travelling "supersonic" speeds. set coiled wires magnetic plates producing fields proximal oriented deflect heated (ionized by heating) away thereby preventing or reducing contact with vehicle's outer surfaces
