Chapter 729: 402

Finally.

With a gasp of surprise, Ma Mingwei called out to Zhao Yi, "Academician Zhao! Brother Zhao! Where are you?"

"Over here."

Zhao Yi walked in, followed by the others.

Inhaling deeply, Ma Mingwei said, "The DC power plan you just proposed, it really seems feasible upon calculation. While it definitely can’t match the power of AC electricity, the stability offered by DC would surely reduce many issues."

"It is feasible. It actually is!"

He turned to the others, "Starting from today, we should also consider a DC power plan for our power supply."

The others were also quite puzzled, "Why? Engineer Ma, hadn’t we abandoned the DC plan?"

"M Country also uses AC."

"DC power is not sufficient."

Ma Mingwei, pointing to the blueprint just discussed, explained, "Academician Zhao raised a few points earlier which surprised me. But they are all very good suggestions. Once we revise it, it seems the DC power solution could fully meet our demands."

Surprised, he said to Zhao Yi, "Academician Zhao, Brother Zhao, I did not expect you to understand electrical problems as well!"

"Well, I don’t know too much. It’s just some thoughts I had," Zhao Yi quickly downplayed his contribution.

"Humble. Too humble!" praised Ma Mingwei,"If you only know a bit, we must know nothing then. Your ideas all make great sense. If we can really implement this DC solution, many problems faced by the AC power supply can be avoided."

"So, let’s continue ..." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Ma Mingwei continued elaborating, filled with admiration, while Zhao Yi listened. freewёbnoνel.com

The others also gathered around.

The next topic was the forced energy storage device. This device can help alleviate the pressure on the generator, absorb the generator’s energy when the launcher is not working, thus it can help the generator withstand shock loads.

The principle of forced energy storage device is not complicated, but the implementation is not easy. The biggest technical challenge it must overcome is that during the operation of the electromagnetic catapult, when the aircraft is launched, a strong braking force will stop the generator from functioning. So, a powerful energy storage device with a free rotor is needed to forcibly drive DC generator operation during the shock load process.

The design process for this is not as simple as designing a lithium battery. Many aspects need to be considered. The energy storage device can be as complex as a machine.

Zhao Yi listened attentively to Ma Mingwei’s explanation while constantly nodding his head. Due to the comparatively simple theory of forced energy storage device, Ma Mingwei was planning to skip parts of it.

Just then Zhao Yi suddenly commented, "I think there are still some deficiencies in this part of your design!"

"Huh?"

A puzzled Ma Mingwei asked, "Brother Zhao, what do you think?"

The others were also intrigued.

Everyone considered Zhao Yi a ’mathematician’, a ’computer expert’, a ’medical research expert’ due to the HIV research that had been making headlines recently.

But...

Power supply? Energy storage? Dynamics? Electrical engineering?

All these are applied technologies, completely unrelated to mathematics, computer theory, and medical research!

Zhao Yi thought for a moment before speaking, "In terms of forcibly driving the engine, I think there are still deficiencies." He pointed on the blueprint, "Right here, making the energy storage device work is wasteful, much like keeping your phone plugged in after it’s fully charged."

"Also, here, this core part, dealing with the shocks during takeoff, is technically difficult. But have you considered adding an extra energy storage unit, making them two? You could have one group specifically to handle the shocks, this could increase power, and act as a spare for replacement, also reducing pressure on the output power of the energy storage device."

"Again, here, why can’t you compress the outermost layer a bit? In unnecessary spaces, suitable compression can reduce the occupied space. If you follow my idea of using two energy storage devices, the device could be designed like this..."

"Also..."
