The material has potential for use in hypervelocity reentry vehicles such as ICBM heat shields or aerodynamic ablate during reentry.
12.
Such a system could be used for hypervelocity projectiles, x-ray production, and electrical power amplification.
13.
But it also involves the development of hypervelocity weapons, superfast-moving projectiles capable of destroying concrete bunkers buried deep underground.

15.
Although the cosmic cannonball is not the only hypervelocity star discovered, it is unique in the apparent origin of its speed.
16.
They argue that these stars are hypervelocity ( intergalactic ) stars that were ejected from the Milky Way's galactic center.
17.
Called Semi-Relativistic Hypervelocity Stars by the authors, these would be ejected by mergers of supermassive black holes in colliding galaxies.
18.
The vaporization upon impact and liquefaction of surfaces allow metal projectiles formed under hypervelocity forces to penetrate vehicle armor better than conventional bullets.
19.
A hypervelocity railgun works very much like a particle accelerator insofar as it converts electrical potential energy into kinetic energy imparted to the projectile.
20.
High-acceleration linear motors are typically used in studies of hypervelocity collisions, as weapons, or as mass drivers for spacecraft propulsion.
