Short writing about the electrodynamic rocket propulsion

There is no need to use nuclear energy in ion motors, the electricity is enough. 

Sometimes we are forgetting the thing, that ion motors, and other electrodynamic rocket motors like rockets, what are used an electric arc to create the thrust would not need actually the nuclear reactors to operate perfectly. When we are thinking about the replacement of the nuclear reactors, we can use the fuel cells to create the electricity for the motor. In fact, the rocket can be hybrid, what operates in the inner solar system by using the solar panel, and turns to use other ways to produce energy, when the sunlight turns too weak and if we are talking first about the electric arc rocket.

The fuel cells or turbo-generators can use hydrogen and oxygen for creating the electricity for electrodes, which is creating an electric arc in the combustion chamber. In the last case, the turbine would install in the route to the combustion chamber, and the exhaust gas, what is water would conduct in the rocket motor, where it will get extra heat from the electric arc. I don't know how practical this rocket will be, and the fuel cells would act more surely because there are no moving parts in this way to produce electricity.

The electric power can be created by using power cells. 

Then the water what is creating in that reaction would conduct in the rocket motor, what will give a very powerful punch. And this kind of fuel cell system can be used in with ion motors. The ion motor is the motor, what uses ions to give the thrust, and in some speculations, this motor would use metal ions, what will drive through the magnetic accelerator. But the ion motor is one of the most capable systems in the world.

That motor can use every ion in the world, for creating the thrust. And also the hydrogen ions can be used in that system, and in fact,  there is nothing matter, if the motor uses positive or negative ions. The system must just turn two electric wires to the opposite way, what would turn the accelerator work in another way, if the ions, what would travel through the accelerator track.

The system needs only the electricity for operating, and that electricity can get from power cells, turbo-generators or solar panels. And that hypothetical spacecraft might use solar panels in the inner solar system, but when the sunlight turns too weak, the system would transform to use fuel cells, as I wrote at the beginning of the text.

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...
