The Red October and the weapons of mass destruction




The Red October and the weapons of mass destruction

When we are thinking about the "Typhoon-class" (1) submarine, which is armed with 20 SS-N-20 "Sturgeon" (2) missiles, we are sometimes forgetting that the firepower of this kind of missiles is extremely high, that kind of SLBM (Submarine Launch Ballistic Missile) is not so powerful as somebody might think. Have you seen the movie "The Hunt For Red October"? In that movie, the Soviet "Typhoon-class" nuclear submarine and its captain would defect to the USA? 

The idea of this film is that the submarine itself would be the silent killer, which takes the nuclear warheads near the coasts of the USA. But in real fife Typhoon has fewer missiles than U.S Navy's "Ohio class" (3) submarine, which has 24 "Trident D-5" (4)nuclear missiles. The main role in this movie has a nuclear submarine that uses the MDD (Magnetic Hydrodynamic Drive) for the propulsion. 

That propulsion that uses the same principle with the particle accelerator, the magnets would pull the ions in the tubes, where the magnet track or Gauss-track would accelerate that ionized water through that track. And that thing allows the submarine to move with extremely high speed because MDD would not depend on the rotating or otherwise moving parts, which means that the water can be pulled in the tube by using extremely high voltage magnets. 

The other thing, that might give an extremely silent run for the submarine is the series of propellers, which are put in the tube. That kind of propulsion, what is called "tunnel propellers" is used in the ships and boats, which needs to drive in the area, where there are lots of stones or water plants. But how deadly this kind of submarine can be? 

If the submarine would be equipped with the hull, what is made by antimagnetic material like chromium-nickel, titanium, or chrome steel, that submarine cannot be detected by using the MAD (Magnetic Anomaly Detector)(5). From the year 1968 to 1984, the Soviet Navy made 7 Alfa (6)class titanium hulled submarines, which was called the best or at least the fastest submarines on earth. 

Then the Western intelligence thought that there was something, what was an even bigger thing than Alfa could ever be. In real life, that thing was ever found, but there were some rumors that the titanium- or some other way antimagnetic hulled version of the Typhoon class submarines. The fact is that the new magnetic system has been introduced in technical magazines, and the thing was that this system can be installed in the submarines.

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...
