Anti-drone weapons

Anti-drone weapons

The new threats would make a need to create new counter-weapons. Drone-swarms are the threat to the military forces around the world. And when we are thinking about counter-actions against those weapons the most effective thing against them, if we would use the conventional systems are the fast-shooting automatic shotguns like a shotgun version of the normal machine guns and cannons, what are shooting birdshot. The idea is that the drone-swarms would shoot a large number of steel balls, what mission is to shoot down as many drones as possible.

Those weapons can be as an example 155 mm. field howitzer, what is loaded with shrapnel ammunition, which makes that weapon very effective in the purpose, where is needed to destroy very many drones at the same time. But also microwave and plasma-based solutions would be effective in the case, where drone-swarms are attacking against some area.

If this kind of weapon is dropped from the aircraft above the swarm there is a possibility that the EMP-bomb would destroy all electronics of that drone swarm. But the EMP weapon, what bases the technology, where the battery is pressed with explosives. Also, the weapons, which are based with MASER (Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) would be used against drone swarms as well as many other targets.

The radars, what are operating by using high voltage microwave frequencies can also terminate incoming aircraft and as well as drone swarms. The difference between radio-and microwaves is that the microwaves are warming targets, and that's why they are used in a microwave oven.

If we would target microwaves to the head of the person, that would cause the same effect, what happens, when the cruel egg is put in the microwave oven. Microwave-frequential electromagnetic radiation would also heat the metals, and if the materials of the aircraft are melting, that would cause the situation, that the body of the aircraft would be destroyed.

That system would create extremely high power microwave burst can also be used against aircraft and satellites. The microwave would be very dangerous for humans and animals, but the reason, why those weapons are created is that the microwave area is sharper than with the use of napalm or some conventional explosive.

There are rumors that the HPV:s (High-Power Microwave Bombs) are meant to use also against the attacking aircraft. That means that those microwave burst weapons would be dropped from the satellites to the route of attacking aircraft and those weapons might sweep those aircraft from the skies. 

EMP-weapons might also damage electronics of the large warships, missile-sites and other places, where the electronics are in a vital role. But if we are thinking about non-lethal and existing things, the most effective weapons can be the ECM-systems, which are used normally to jam the radars.

Those systems can also use to deny the communication between drones and that means that drones lose the data-connections, also ECM-systems can jam normal encrypted communication, what uses the data transmitter. Also, those ECM systems can deny the use of IFF (Identification, Friend or Foe) systems, if they base the radio-communication.

Other versions of the IFF systems use optical data transmitters, what are immune against radio-wave based systems, but they are vulnerable to clouds and smoke, what denies those systems communicate with other systems. And the optical IFF-system is easy to hack. The aircraft or land station must just record those flashes, and copy them to own similar systems.

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...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme.

The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
