The internet was busy debating jantar Mantar & a quiet facility in India witnessed something straight out of science fiction. An engine fired up. But it did not hum & it did not roar like a normal jet.
It detonated. Continuous supersonic shockwaves raced around a circular chamber 1000s of times/sec, harnessing controlled explosions to generate thrust.
The startup D-Propulse just gave the world a sneak peek of their air-breathing Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) with an integrated aerospike nozzle.
Every jet engine on a commercial airliner, every fighter jet & every rocket we have ever seen operates on deflagration. We mix fuel with air/oxygen, ignite it & it burns relatively slowly at subsonic speeds. It is effective, but humanity has pushed this tech to its absolute physical limits.
RDEs throw that century-old playbook into the fire. Instead of burning fuel smoothly, an RDE explodes it intentionally. A continuous detonation wave sweeps around an annular (ring-shaped) channel at supersonic speeds, reaching over 2000 m/s. This is called Pressure-Gain Combustion.
It extracts 15-25% more thermal efficiency out of the exact same amount of fuel. In the world of high-speed flight, a 25% jump in efficiency is a completely different league.
Why this Matters for India?
For decades, the narrative surrounding Indian engineering was tied to catching up on legacy systems, spending billions trying to replicate 1970s turbofan engine metallurgy/importing critical defense tech.
D-Propulse is proving that India does not need to play catch-up anymore.
By leapfrogging straight to Pressure-Gain Combustion, an Indian deep-tech startup, guided by veteran scientists & built by young engineers is standing on the frontlines alongside research labs in the US, Japan & China.
Imagine hypersonic cruise missiles, ultra-long-range combat drones & spaceplanes that do not need heavy, complex moving turbopumps to break speed records. That is the realm this technology unlocks.
The future does not belong to those who build better versions of old machines. It belongs to those who rewrite the physics of how machines work.
This is genuinely insane. This guy burned an entire AI model directly into a chip. No GPU. No CPU. No cloud. Just raw silicon.
It's called GateGPT. He took a small AI model and instead of running it as software, he built it as a physical circuit. Gate by gate. On a single chip.
The result: 56,000 tokens per second. At 80 MHz.
Your phone runs at 3,000 MHz. This chip runs at 80 MHz and is still faster than most AI tools you use daily. Because the AI isn't an app running on a computer. The AI is the computer.
No operating system. No code. No internet connection. Just electricity flowing through a circuit that is the AI.
It generates names on a tiny LCD screen. You turn a physical knob to control it. That's the whole thing.
He started at 2,400 tokens per second. Optimized it 28 times over. Now it
does 56,000. On a chip that fits in your palm.
This is AI stripped down to its most raw form.
This Bakrid, let us choose a truly bloodless path. The spirit of Qurbani is about sacrifice, self-discipline, and sharing with the needy.
Public slaughter in neighbourhoods causes animal suffering and social tension.
Dragging goats into societies and blood in drains belongs to the past.
Instead of a real animal, sacrifice a beautifully crafted cake shaped like a bakri.
This symbolic offering brings joy to the family without any harm.True sacrifice does not need a knife or bloodshed.
It lives through charity, feeding the poor, and helping genuine causes.
Plant-based options and creative ideas like cake bakri allow celebration with compassion.
Recent provocations on all sides only deepen divisions in society.
Let this Eid mark a shift towards restraint and humanity.
@theskindoctor13@grok - Is this true? Does it not depend on how far the place is from equator, time of the day when pic is taken and many other factors, not just pollution level?
F35 lightning waiting for lightning to strike.
It’s 5 days since the supposedly the most stealthiest advanced fighter plane has been kept grounded on Indian airport Tarmac.
Now there are many speculations on what F35 was doing near Kochi and how it suddenly was short of fuel and then India “detected” it and got it on dharatal from high skies.
Let me first give you the official watered down version that is palatable to even the most bland British tongues (okay European) who too once had come to Kochi in search of spicier things.
F35 while flying a bit away from its mother ship suddenly found itself short of fuel near Indian border, made itself detectable by showing some lens etc (I am no aviation expert but I can spin tales of not tail of planes) and India scrambled Sukhoi jet to bring it safely down and its Brit pilot didn’t want to leave the plane worried India might put it on OLX (someone actually has for 4 million USD) and only when promised some nice spicy food from Paragon, he agreed to leave the Tarmac and now he is discovering there is more to good Indian food than Chicken Tikka masala and Bangladeshi shit sold in Balti is not Indian food. One Kerala pepper chicken will open his Thames from all orifices and he will realise how much good karma one has to earn to be born in India, land of good food, good spices and good air defence radar systems.
He is still eating food and realising the biggest scam was Europeans coming to India and eating good spicy food but not learning that the best jet is not F35 but the one in toilet which cleans your gustatory sins of last night with a blast to keep slate clean.
Now the speculation part as it’s always fun to indulge in flights of fancy when matters of taking to the skies has to be debated. Don’t take it seriously as I don’t want wild speculations to be considered as Gospel and spoil already soiled India and US relations due to Trump shitting all over.
So here it is, conspiracy theory.
There is a war going on in Middle East and one war was shortened in Indian subcontinent.
The ones to gain from all these wars is always Uncle Sam but Uncle Sam also has a reputation to keep so it uses its stooge Peter England to do its dirty job where Brits take the flak and Americans come as saviour.
So this Brit pilot whose ship is stationed somewhere in Indian Ocean close to one of colonised islands was ordered to fly F35 and map out Indian port of Vizhinjam which is critical now for lot of things. Plus Kochi naval base is there and NATO needs to know what is India upto as operation Sindoor has shown that India is no more a pushover and it surprised on upside in matter of defence and offence and even intelligence. Only Pappu, Praveen Sawhney, Munir and dead terrorists in Muridke and Bahawalpur don’t agree that India literally blew bases of Pakistan which is going to haunt them for long long time.
So west needed its most stealthiest weapon after there two Humint (human intelligence) weapons of Italian origin and F35 was chosen to fly close to Indian assets undetected.
Pilot was cruising thinking he is Neo Airborne Vasco Da Gama but India of today is no more Zamorin led land and our radars were up and detracted that F35.
Now obviously no one flies an aircraft with 100 rs ka petrol daal dena state and he could have gone back to his mother ship or Diego Garcia or American bases in Oman etc but then Sukhoi Thai came close and told that baby, come down, you will get a massage and also Kerala shirodhara.
F35 pilot thought he is in Mr India state but India was seeing red.
To the shock of US who is trying to sell F35 to all, India got the plane down and the epic trolling by IAF saying (we detected) and then saying pilot was refusing to leave Tarmac and had to be coaxed was funny.
It’s 5 days and most laziest petrol attendant can fill up petrol after saying Zero dekho like how Pappu says after most elections these days in few minutes so it was not about fuel.

A breakthrough has been achieved by demonstrating quantum entanglement based communication in an experimental setup through DRDO-Industry-Academia Centre of Excellence (DIA-CoE), IIT Delhi. The free-space quantum secure communication using quantum entanglement over a distance of more than one km was shown via a free-space optical link established on the IIT Delhi campus.

RT if you have never seen a store loot ever in India 🇮🇳
All parts of India 🇮🇳 are extremely safe in this aspect. Some areas may be still poor due to 400 years of Foreign Rule, but we are Cultured.
