Which EMALS tech will win in the end USS Ford (AC) vs Type 003 Fujian (DC)?
>>62137526Definitely the Chinese one. Now give me all those (You)'s
>>62137526>EMALS - requires massive power generation >Ford - nuclear >Fujian - conventional Guess.

>>62137888That's not the question. The question is about the EMALS itself. DC vs AC.
>>62138151>That's not the questionThat is the question and it got answered.
>>62137888/thread
>>62138151EMALS is best when using a combination of AC and DC currents, this is known as an AC/DC power system.We use this system because the EMALS is made of iron, and iron is heavy metal.
>>62137888To be fair, you need to charge up a power storage either way.Nuclear power is superior in many ways for a carrier, but for EMALS it really doesn't matter.
>>62137526What's the difference between the AC and DC emalsin design?
Chinese carrier will literally run out of fuel if it launches too many planes.So Ford.
>emalswhy are carrier catapults so difficult? Steam piston goes WHOOOSH should be easy enough, at least compared to everything else involved, no?
>>62137526Toy boat, toy boat
>>62138332You sir are a scholar and a gentleman.
>>62138329steam piston goes whoosh powerfully enough to chuck a 30 ton plane into the air, 0-~200mph in three seconds, yet smoothly and gradually enough to not deform its airframe or nose gear or damage it in any way. In a precisely adjustable, weight specific and totally predictable way.Flinging a heavy thing off the deck at flight speed is easy.Flinging a fragile, high performance, supersonic warplane off the deck in such way that it is not damaged by the launch AT ALL and is capable of all designed functions after is less easy.Its not accelerating a brick. Its accelerating the Radar, the computer, the squishy meat sack in the seat, the missiles seeker heads and the fuel and explosives, without making them uncomfy at all.

>>62137888>>62138161>>62138301>>62138332It doesn't seem to be an issue since they're currently building a Type 076 light carrier with a an EMALS catapult and It's also conventionally powered: https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2024/06/type-076-amphibious-carrier-takes-shape-drone-airwing-emerges/#prettyPhotoThe US hasn't been able to install Its AC EMALS on anything other than a nuclear super carrier
>>62138332It's a big toy...
>>62138238ur a funny guy anon
>>62138624The Chinese are incompetent engineers, yes we know.
>>62138329wtf is that thing
>>62138983looks like some dude made a steam gun for cleaning his dishes
>>62137526>American sailors drink coffee.>Chinese sailors drink tea>Why exactly does this mean that China would win (and is NUMBAH WAR)?
i'm italian
>>62138777for you
>>62138983Hot water heater
>>62138624>The US hasn't been able to install Its AC EMALS on anything other than a nuclear super carrierWhat else would need one? Are you going to EMALS launch marines in helicopters or what?
>>62137526Steam.
>>62141086Redundant, you must be ESL. A water heater makes water hot, it's already in the name. Calling it a hot water heater in the English language would imply that you are taking hot water and heating it (more).
>>62141304It's british english you tard. In this context hot water is a compound word describing the thing that comes out of your hot water tap, showers etc. The hot water heater is the appliance that generates this thing. A british home contains other watet heating devices, for eg an electric kettle, so the disambiguation is necessary and justifies the redundancy.
>>62141113Remember that time a retarded POTUS called the Captain of a CVN on live television and started spouting retarded shit about steam vs EMALs and got own zoned on live TV?
>>62137526What's the actual reason for going emals over steam?
>>62141098Don't give them ideas.
>>62141373No?
>>62141098>Are you going to EMALS launch marines in helicopters or what?FUND IT
>>62141366Nope.
>>62141366NTA but I've never seen someone call it hot water heater. Clean clothes washing machine? Cold food fridge? Warm food oven?
