Nature as the model for high-tech systems


Ibex and MULE robot

Ibex (I) is one of the most brilliant climbers on our planet, and the reason why this animal has that brilliant skill is the rams of it. The reason why this animal is interesting engineers, what is working for Lockheed-Martin and other kinds of technology companies is that the structure and movement tracks of the feet of this animal can be copied to the MULE-robots (Image II), and that thing allows that the artificial robot can get the similar abilities, what those animals have.

The imaging of the movement of the feet must be done by using the ultrasound system, which would not disturb the animal itself, and that thing allows us to copy the form of the bones of the rams and feet of this marvelous animal. The thing, that makes ibex itself interesting is that itself can be trained to carry equipment, and track people. So it can work with the search and rescue teams as the role of the dog, in the areas, where the dog is hard to operate. Ibexes are willingly climbing vertical cliffs, and that makes them suitable for operating in the vertical areas?

Blackbirds and STEALTH-technology

When we are looking at the blackbirds (Image III), what are brooding their eggs, we might see that they are always in the same direction. The rostrum of those birds is always turning out from the wall, and the tail of those birds is risen, which gives it a certain form. This behavior has been made because the sound waves would travel on the layer of that bird bypassing it. And the hunters would not see the bird by using their sonar.

So when we are looking at the form of the new stealth-hydrofoils (Image IV) they are looking at the brooding blackbirds. The idea is that the outer layer of the stealth craft would act like a blackbird, and make it invisible in the radar, and this is the thing, why this passive stealth is superior in that kind of craft. The active stealth or counter radar stealth would require energy and that means the system must use turbines or engines. 

And the mission of the small size craft could slip unseen to the coast and in this kind of mission the use of the electric motors could be the best result. So the craft might be equipped with the hydro wing what can be pulled in and hybrid engine system, where is the turbine for fast running and the electric motor for the silent drive. So the passive stealth could be suitable in the small craft because that would save batteries. This can be the next-generation recon and silent operation system.

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...
