Supercritical fluids can also be used in the fundamental power systems in ships and other vehicles

This might be the technology of tomorrow. Supercritical fluids can make fundamental engineering possible. If the ships are equipped with the vacuum steam boilers, what are rotating the supercritical water in the system, that thing would decrease the need for fuel of that kind of ships. So that thing can make it possible to make the economical turbines.

But the thing that would make this kind of system very interesting is that if the engineers would use the liquid gas in that kind of turbine system, there is possible to make the ship, which would not require the external fuel. The liquid fluid just flows in the closed cycle of the power systems, which can be extremely lightweight. And if the insulators would be good enough that thing can also be installed in the cars or some other moving things. 

The heating of the high-pressure CO² or high-pressure liquid nitrogen can be made by using the small resistors, which would increase the temperature of the liquid gas to its critical point, and then the critical fluid, which is formed by as an example liquid nitrogen would conduct to the turbines. And the supercritical fluid can also operate other types of steam engines. So those extremely cold gases can in theory used in the turbines, or piston steam engines, what are used in aircraft or drones, and that would increase the flight time. 

The thing that makes supercritical fluid so interesting is that the similar systems, that are used in the fixed power plants can be used in cars, ships and even aircraft. And as you might know, water is not the only supercritical fluid in the world. The other supercritical fluids like liquid gases have a critical point and that kind of thing means that also superfluid or liquid helium have a similar critical point with the water, but the temperature of that point is far lower than with the water or CO², what is the most commonly used superfluid in the world. 

So what can make this kind of superfluids what have an extremely low critical point very interesting? We could make the turbine-based power system, which doesn't need any other fuel than the normal natural temperatures, and that thing can make it possible to make the automobile, aircraft, or ship, which doesn't need external fuel. In theory, the system can make very high-pressure critical fluid, which can rotate the turbine even in the airplanes. The thing that that kind of system requires is the closed cycle of the liquid.

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.

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...
