Bacteria would make the energy of tomorrow

Bacteria would make the energy of tomorrow

In the movie Matrix, the bioelectricity of the human nervous system is used for energy production. In this future scenario, mankind has become symbiotic with computers. And there is a highly sophisticated thing, what is known as "Matrix" where every action would happen in this digital world. This is one of the so-called dark visions of the computing, and maybe in some extreme conditions the intelligent species would become the hybrid or symbiotic creature with computers, but in fact, we are using bioelectricity in the everyday life.

Almost all fuel what we are using in the power plants is created by bacteria, what lives on Earth, and these bacteria from the gas and petroleum, what we are using in the electric production. But there have been plans to create the fuel cells and bioenergy based biobatteries for the mobile telephones and tablets. The last one is very interesting and also a radical vision of the batteries, which are using bacteria for creating energy.

Those bacteria would have two poles, and the form of those organisms is like a battery. If there are lots of those bacteria, and they would be in the same way, the system would be used to make electricity straight from the biomass. So, in theory, the bacteria can be used also in the large scale energy production. In this system, the tank is filled with energy bacteria, and it can produce electricity. Biobatteries difference to the fuel cell is that the system makes electricity without fire, and that makes it a very addictive thing for small scale electricity production.

But those bacteria need extreme high temperature and chemical conditions, what is hard to create. But by using genetic engineering those bacteria would someday give energy to computers, and that thing can use in UPS-systems, what gives power to the computers in the office, as well as in the large scale power plants.  But as you might see the practical solution is not so easy to make.

Use of bacteria for creating electricity is not actually the new idea. The bacteria are suitable for small scale production of energy, but there is one problem, those bacteria need extreme conditions for working correctly, and in fact, this means bacteria is not coming soon in power devices for mobile devices. But if there is a possibility for creating the energy bacteria, what operates in the same chemical environment as we are living.

If the energy production will happen in the room temperature or lower, this kind of way to produce the energy would become true. In the future, the batteries or small-size bioenergy producers would use similar nutrient, what is used in growing vegetables. In this vision, the office staff would give the water and nutrient same time to the bio batteries and vegetables.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
