Abstract

A system, apparatus and method for a superduct representing a unique process for helium distillation/liquefaction by means of a hypersonic stochastic switch is described. A supersonically expanded isentropic continuum is switched into a stochastic vortex flux by means of a thermally reactive slanted shafted nosecone and an extreme high pressure source hypersonic vortex flux. The concept can be further developed to a bridge spanning 1-10 miles of superduct segments, owing to its virtual nature and extreme power packaged kinetic energy of the hypersonic stochastic motive system.

Claims

1. An apparatus for a thermally reactive nosecone comprising:

a tip, the tip having a slanted intake aperture;

a shaft;

a thermally reactive bore; and

the nosecone functioning as a hypersonic vortex generator.

2. The apparatus for a thermally reactive nosecone as in claim 1, further comprising of a high pressure supersonic isentropic expansion nozzle additionally whereby liquid helium is distilled out of compressed helium by means of an incipient shockwave being transformed into a stochastic vortex flux first switch via the thermally reactive shafted nosecone of a vortex tube.

3. The apparatus for a thermally reactive nosecone as in claim 2, wherein a primary stochastic vortex flux is transformed into a contra-rotating double helix vortex by means of a sudden Coanda expansion second switch at a tail end of the vortex tube spawning Joule Thomson throttling refrigeration.

4. The apparatus for a thermally reactive nosecone as in claim 3, wherein an exit double helix vortex flux is reset into a supersonic isentropic continuum downstream of a Coanda expansion ramp by means of planetary spline slots and a consequential contra-rotating vortex flux third switch spawning second tier Joule-Thomson refrigeration.

5. The apparatus for a thermally reactive nosecone as in claim 4, wherein a high-pressure helium source is sub-cooled into a cryogenic zone via flashing fourth switch of liquid nitrogen proximal to 70K prior to hypersonic isentropic expansion and stochastic conversion.

6. The apparatus for a thermally reactive nosecone as in claim 5, wherein the high-pressure helium source is regeneratively chilled at fifth switch to proximal 35K prior to hypersonic expansion enabling complex Carnot refrigeration.

7. The apparatus for a thermally reactive nosecone as in claim 3, wherein a vortex tube shell sixth switch conforms as an absolute zero complex Carnot refrigeration core as a consequence of centrifuging and flashing of liquefacted helium in the vortex tube shell driven by a gyrating stagnation pressure surges and a double helix vortex core as a heat sink.

8. The apparatus for a thermally reactive nosecone as in claim 7, wherein the vortex tube shell is bundled into a superduct superconducting power transmission conduit.

9. The apparatus for a thermally reactive nosecone as in claim 8, wherein the vortex tube shell is stretched into 1-10 miles autonomous 4K superconductor conduits by means of extreme (5,000-10,000 psi) M7-10 Mach number expansion.
