Confederacy of Freed Citizens and Rothbardia Region Press Release
I have been appointed by a group of scientists in the Confederacy of Freed Citizens to inform the world of a military advance in our Confederacy. The XMD-7 is a Molecular Destabilizer which our scientists have designed. At present it is in experimental stages, but already the data is extremely positive.
The molecular destabilizer is a device which operates on the molecular bonds and attractions between elements. Basically, it makes all elements within the area of its 'beam' repulsive to one another. This negates all molecular attractions such as the attraction between the Sodium and Hydroxide particles in an NaOH molecule. Beyond that, it even negates the attraction between the Hydrogen and Oxygen particles in Hydroxide molecules.
It also negates the attractions between elements of a solid or liquid nature, for example the attraction between H2O molecules or Iron particles, which cling to one another in their natural states at room temperature. The end result of this negation of attraction is that the device basically 'melts' any object. What is revolutionary is that this is not simply a heating device, since it acts on the attraction between particles and negates their attractions rather than speeding up their movement, the amount of energy needed to 'melt' any object is much less than if the object were heated.
For example, if one were to 'melt' an iron tank, such an action would take enormous amounts of energy. However, with our design such a tank can be melted in seconds with only a fraction of the energy cost.
The 'melting' is more temporary than a heating procedure, but still does the job, since it destroys the structural integrity of regular objects. It's application in military operations is especially interesting, since it basically renders the age of the armoured military vehicle obsolete. Already we have been able to miniaturize the weapon to the point of it being about the size of a regular machine gun (Imagine an M-60 without the chain of bullets). Because of the small amount of energy needed for the weapon, our scientists all put the miniaturization of the molecular destabilizer to handheld size only about 3 years away at the most. Once it is at hand-held size, any regular infantryman will have the ability to render an armoured vehicle into a lump of mismatched steel, silicon, and other materials in matter of seconds.
You might ask why this advance was not made until now, the answer is simple. The 'beam' which the molecular destabilizer fires is extremely powerful and in early experiments 'melted' the molecular destabilizer itself. This required some sort of protection on the inside of the barrel of the weapon to protect the weapon and its firing mechanism from being 'melted' down themself. A mixture of high energy gases and liquids which flow throughout the entire weapon were originally designed, but that left the 'beam' unfocused. A barrel was needed to focus the molecular destabilizer, we thought. Then it was realized that although bullets were focused through a barrel, lasers were focused through the firing of the laser through a faceted solid. That was when we realized that by running a high energy, 'heavier than air' gas through the weapon in a sort of 'waterfall' with very precise instrumentation the 'beam' could be focused extremely precisely. Such gases were already repellent to individual particles, so the 'beam' would not effect them, yet if they were run in the right way, the 'beam' could be effected. We have thus completed such experiments and by our 5th experimental design had a reliable device.
Now, at our 7th experimental design, we are ready to branch outwards and start marketing our product, as well as seeking additional funding for experimentation and improvement of the technology. This technology is not only useful militarily, but also economically. It will revolutionize mining, recycling, packaging, transport, and the space industries. If any other countries wish to join wit us in this amazing advance, we aks that they be willing to help support the project financially and with resources. We are especially interested in countries with strong space programs, as many of the gases and liquids which we require are much more numerous in space. We also would like to know if any other countries either have projects or scientists working along these lines, exchanging our research data could increase both our chances of successful innovation.
If you have any questions about this technology, its application, or how to become involved, please ask and I shall answer as well as I can with the information available to me.
