Star Wars Technology In The Real World
For a story that happened "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away", a lot of technology in the series "Star Wars" are in fact already appeared in real life on the planet Earth. Concepts and ideas that became the stuff of science fiction when the first film "Star Wars" came out in 1977, now has become real in science.
Here we have summarized some of the technologies and scenes that you can tell to fellow moviegoers when watching "Star Wars: Episode VII" that actually exists in the real world and scientifically tested:
Laser Weapons
"Hokey religion and ancient weapons are not suitable for you, kid," Han Solo warned Luke Skywalker when they meet in "Star Wars: A New Hope." About 30 years later, in "Star Wars: Episode VII", Luke still use the ancient weapon to shoot.
Currently, in the real world, the US Navy has deployed aboard the USS Ponce in the Persian Gulf region to maintain, ongoing testing of the laser-energy weapon in the form of trucks and aircraft. Similarly, an electromagnetic gun which is one of the first Death Star weapon will be tested by US warships such as the USS Zumwalt.
Stormtrooper Armor
The reason why laser guns are so common in "Star Wars" is the prevalence of uniform Stormtrooper impenetrable bullets. New Stormtrooper uniforms called, "First Order" in the "Star Wars: Episode VII" is the next generation of bulletproof clothing is leaner.
While in the version of the real world, is Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit, or TALOS, a project involving 10 national laboratories, 13 universities, 16 government agencies and 56 companies, all of which work together to build armor powered for US Special Forces in future.
Droid
The movie "Star Wars: Episode VII" will display a variety of new robots, such as BB-8 cute and old friends like R2-D2. Although they may not chirp and mutter in the real world, robots like this have become the weapons of the modern battlefield. All shapes and sizes have been serving the US military robots, of MQ-9 Reaper in the air or on land Packbot.
Lightsaber
Gianluca Sari, a lecturer at the school of mathematics and physics at Queen's University Belfast said this iconic weapon may not be made of light but plasma. In the film, the lightsaber is the weapon of the Jedi. In the real world, lightsaber may look more like plasma compared to lasers.
Writing in The Conversation, people who have a research focus on laser and plasma physics called the lightsaber probably one of the coolest weapons are made on the big screen. This weapon outlines the basic concepts of physics. "Although laser technology continues to run toward things that are more efficient, but the technology we are still very far behind the workings of a lightsaber," said Sarri.
Fans of "Star Wars" may have to wait longer before lightsaber actually created. Plasma is a hot gas atoms are split into their constituent components are atomic nuclei and electrons. Certain gasses such as chlorine and helium plasma will result in green and red colors as a weapon iconic Jedi Knights.
Tractor Beam
Tractor beams a laser light technology to remove and send objects in the movie "Star Wars" (and "Star Trek") used to lift the spacecraft and other objects from a distance, turned out to be true. The researchers claimed to have made the tractor beam by using high amplitude sound waves to lift, move and rotate the small objects without making contact with the objects. They imagine this device is used for medical and other applications.
"As a mechanical wave, the sound can exert significant energy to objects. Remember last time you were at a concert and your chest vibrate by it," said study leader Asier Marzo from the University of Bristol, England, and the University of Navarre, Spanish.
Marzo said the tractor beam manipulate sound objects up to one per seven-inch (4 mm) in diameter and can control the position and orientation of objects lifted. Tractor beam using ultrasound at a frequency of 40 kilohertz, while humans can only hear below 20 kilohertz.
These waves shaped tweezers (small clamp) to lift an object, namely a pull (vortex) to hold the object up firmly in place and a cage to hold a fixed object in place. Tractor beam powerful voice capable of lifting heavy objects from a distance, can control the objects floating in zero-gravity environments like the International Space Station, said Marzo.
