What about the Fast breeder reactors and Fusion reactors ?
Where does we stand when compared with others ?

I was reading abt this, american department of defense (or whatever) have selected a company for making a portable pebble bed reactor (for army)

this is the company

Xe-100: High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Nuclear Reactors (HTGR) — X-energy

Discover the Xe-100 reactor, a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor offering reliable, safe, and clean energy for the future.

these kind of pebble bed reactors cant have melt down in the worst conditions also, as the structure of fuel itself is a containment chamber.

 

[THESIS THORON]

if you read the specs it says that thermal energy is 200 mw and electrical out put is 80 mw (this is not portable one)
if we can change the steam with co2, we can increase its output also.

but that itself is challenge in it, imo no one has solved it yet.

Is it that some discreet G2G has already been done? and tech transfer (know-how)/collaborative effort is underway.

Then why not go for TTL trials? DRDO still sending their Dry Kaveri variant for testing on FTBs whereas they parallely claim to have achieved 83kN stable thrust already....

I mean if at all we achieve higher TTL for Kaveri even compared to RD-33MK, we're ready for exporting it to other 3rd world countries...

Review of supercritical CO2 power cycle technology and current status of research and development

The supercritical CO2 (S-CO2) Brayton cycle has recently been gaining a lot of attention for application to next generation nuclear reactors. The adva…

A "ground up, new, first engine" would be tested in stages. Simply put-First dry tested, then certified, baby steps into operations, flown real-time, adjustments made, couple of years.... in the mean time plonk an afterburner, send for flight test....
In equivalent terms Tejas Mk1= Kaveri n Tejas Mk2 = Kaveri with afterburner.

LR AShM ??


@fire starter which one is this ?? The lfrj based or subsonic

 

[Akula]

this jet engine dev should be shifted under pmo

Why can't there be an another programme like Integrated missile development programme, for developing indigenous engines for jets, ships, tanks and many more?

For tanks they are in advanced stage .

For jets and ships it will be same path , development of jet engine will pave way for marine engine

Having a proper programme may help these projects receive proper funding.

I would pitch for an R&D Ministry/Fund with a separate budget as a percentage of GDP. Projects and Universities/Institutions which can contribute to strategic and futuristic technologies should be catered for separately and specifically.....immediately. The team at the helm of this effort should be meticulously chosen. Because, as the old saying goes.....To make something really big work, you need a Dreamer, a Doer and a Son of a Bitch.

LOLZ! look what I found on twitter
BTW AFAIK, MRF makes tires for helicopters.

But for jets, anyone has idea??

If I remember correctly, the ones stolen from the truck were M2K tires made by MRF.

It's a very old news, and even that is an old Indian Su-30K not MKi

Seems like lfrj based
But I could be wrong here
