Andrée and his hydrogen ball



Andrée and his hydrogen ball

1) Why polar expansionist choose hydrogen balloon, what cannot be refilled?

Salomon August Andrée (1854-1894) and his famous balloon expedition to the North Pole are well-known because that journey failed, and that caused the death to Andrée and his three mates. The reason for death was the wrong equipment. And in the main role of that catastrophe was the hydrogen balloon. The name of that balloon flyer has caused the question that is the idea of the expedition might come from some Frenchmen, but what was the reason, that those people would want to give an idea of that fly? 

I have written much about this attempt and the main thing was the reason, why Andrée chose a hydrogen balloon, which was unable to refill in the arctic conditions. If Andrée would use a hot-air balloon or even picked the backup balloon with him, that journey could be successful. Or it had even changed to success. Without a backup balloon, where was able to use moss or branch as the fuel, that journey could be successful. 

2) How Andrée though that he could return?

So the question is "how Andrée though to get back"? And why Andrée made that mistake and choose so unsuitable equipment in the primary role? Did he wait for some kind of help in the northern area? When we are thinking about the hydrogen balloon, that kind of equipment is very dangerous, because hydrogen would cause an explosion, and the second thing is that the hydrogen balloon would rise extremely high. 

And in 30 kilometers people would die if they would not have pressure suits and respirators. Hydrogen balloons can rise even higher, and if a person would go too high, the body liquids start to boil, or the person dies in lack of oxygen. Also, there is a big danger of brain damage. So if the pilot wants to lay the balloon down, that person must open the ventile at the top of the balloon, and then let the gas go, and the thing is that without the replacing gas, there is no way to make the balloon rise again. 

3) The balloon can be used to capture cosmic radiation

When we are thinking about the structure of the balloon, we might make some kind of fantasies about that journey. There were two controlling ropes under that balloon, and there has been introduced the idea that the balloon was equipped with two control ropes. And there have been introduced theories that the idea of Andrée was to load the balloon with electricity by using northern lights and then that electricity would be conducted to the ground by using those ropes. 

The thing is that at the poles the cosmic rays would come near the ground and that kind of thing is making the poles important things for scientific purposes. The balloon can be used to capture the particles of the cosmic radiation if it flies extremely high. The metal net around the balloon would turn magnetic, and then the particles, that are coming from the universe can be captured in that structure. Those ions can be analyzed by using the spectrometer. 

4) Hydrogen balloons can be used to collect the antimatter

There is one very interesting detail in Andrée's balloon. The small canvas square in the outer layer could be the thin aluminum plate, which is covered by using gold. So could that thing cause that the cosmic radiation would create the antimatter in the balloon, and the modern systems use that kind of thing? But its mystery did Andrée know that kind of thing. 

The modern balloons are made by using mylar, which allows them to fly higher than the balloon of Andrée. Those balloons can be used to collect the cosmic radiation and antimatter from the stratosphere. The perfectly ball-shaped mylar ball could send to the upper atmosphere, and the mission of those things would be to act as the antimatter collector. If the balloon would be covered by electrolytic gold, that system can collect the antimatter from the skies. 

If there is an extremely thin gold plate in the balloon, there is a possibility that the balloons can be used to collect antimatter from the layer, where the cosmic radiation faces the atmosphere. That antimatter can be used for scientific and other tests.

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...
