Modern hybrid airships are looking like UFO:s

Picture by David A. Hardy


Airships can be really fast if they are made by using modern materials. 

Many people think that airships are always slow and easy to damage, but this thing is not actually true. The modern materials like carbon fibers and other things can allow creating the modern hybrid airship, which would be a very interesting tool for the research and intelligence missions. The thing is that the carbon-fiber layers would allow creating the concept, what would be revolutionary.

 In history, there were planned to create the hybrid airship, what would be launched from the submarine torpedo tubes, and those miniature zeppelins would able to search the enemy territory. One thing about the structure of those things would be that the instrument gondola and the motors would be like they would be pulled in during the carrying, and they can be released from the submarines.

Inside that body would be symmetrical ball-shaped tanks for hydrogen, and those carbon fiber balls allow that the airship can fly extremely high altitude. But is there a possibility, that the airship can fly supersonic. When we are thinking about the hybrid airship, that would be equipped with the rocket or even the ramjet or scramjet engine, that cigar-shaped hybrid airship can fly in the supersonic or hypersonic speed.

The airship-type structure would allow the interplanetary travel

The thing is that on the back of the airship would be the small rocket engine and the sides of that will be the propellers, what would make electricity for the systems of that futuristic airship. I once read one very interesting article about the big size interplanetary spacecraft, which would have the shape like Zeppelin. During the space trip that device and the gas tank would operate as the cabin, that would give the space for the crew.

And when that spacecraft would close the planet or its target the main cabin can be filled with water, and then the system would separate the hydrogen from oxygen by using electrolyze. That would allow creating the very big and fast spacecraft, what can operate in the atmosphere of some planet.

That kind of structures allows use the green energy, and if the capillary tube would be dropped to the lower atmosphere of the planet, that tube can suck the gas through the motor, what would allow very long term operating in the atmosphere of that planet. This kind of systems would be created for the HAVOC and another kind of concepts.

HAVOC (High Altitude Venus Operational Concept) can be manned or unmanned

There are two versions of the systems like HAVOC. Another thing would be manned concept, but the more interesting in the point of view of research would be sending the artificial intelligent HAVOC concept to research the atmosphere of the Venus planet. That concept might have sub-drones, what it can send to collect the samples from the surface. Those drones would be like normal quadcopters, what have the sample handling equipment, and they can bring samples from the surface to the flying laboratory.

The HAVOC concept is actually the plan for sending unmanned flying laboratory to the atmosphere of planet Venus. And those experiences would be used in the next generation missions to travel in the atmospheres of giant gas planets like Saturn and Neptune. That mission, what would be true in the future would be working as the testbed for artificial intelligence and robots, what can use in the longer distances, where the signal travels a couple of hours.

The military operational model

One of the most interesting vision is that the airships would offer rooms for the computer systems, which would offer computer assistance for the ground troops if they need more computer power. Those systems can be used to control the drone swarms by using artificial intelligence.

But the thing is that those airships can operate as the flying command centers, where the commanding officers can watch the situation. And of course, those airships can use the cruise missiles, intelligence equipment or more exotic weapon systems like flechette or laser weapons.

The sub drones can be devastating weapons

The quadcopters would be used to carry explosives, like hollow warheads or the hybrid weapons where the hollow grenade is filled with propane. That will make it very high-class explosive and other high-explosive equipment what it can use against enemy tanks an troops. That airship can float over some area and shoot the incoming aircraft and cruise missiles down from the above.

The systems, what are tested and developed for the HAVOC concept would also operate in the combat zones, where the communication system would be jammed, and the airships would allow the change to operate as the relay station between troops and satellites if the communication will be jammed. But they can also offer very large scale rooms for surgery, and combat zone support systems, what can fly above the combat area and drop the equipment for the troops, when they need ammunition.

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...

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...
