China: New Hypersonic Generator 'capable' Of Powering Future Weapons

It is a straightforward, effective, and high-capacity system that might be applied to military applications, such as high-power microwave weapons.

The generator system sets off explosions that turn gas into plasma and converts the plasma's energy into high-power electricity.

"Other researchers had tried setting off dynamite to generate hypersonic shock waves for an MHD generator, wrote Xiaoyuan's team.
