Mars-helicopter by NASA


Mars-helicopter by NASA

The new Mars helicopter is the thing, that interests many actors. The lightweight, independently operating airborne system is a multipurpose tool for scientific and military purposes. The atmosphere on Mars is thin, which means that the technology, of the high-flying helicopter drones, can test on that planet. The green-energy, which means that the helicopter uses solar panels and the induction generator for creating the energy for that system would be suitable to operate at the high mountain areas as well as in the high altitude over the savannas.

If that kind of system is operating in the atmosphere, what is thick enough, it could use also wind generators for increasing the operational time of batteries. So that kind of helicopter can send to the Titan moon and atmospheres of the giant gas planets for researching them. Mars is an excellent place for researching artificial intelligence, which would allow that kind of vehicle to operate independently. 




This kind of helicopter might be a next-generation observation balloon. 


The lack of nuclear batteries means that if this system would make a crash landing the radioactive material would not be released to nature, and that means in the case, where the drone is shot down at the hostile area, there is nothing that the enemy can use from the wreck. This kind of high-flying helicopter drone can also use as the observation platform in many missions. So that thing could be the new version of the observation balloons that have been used in World War I. 


The rotor might be covered by using the silicon layer, and the induction engine would also recycle the electricity, which makes the batteries operate a longer time. This kind of helicopter can have LIDAR (Laser Radar) and the infrared and normal image sensors. It can also use the normal radar for uncovering the underground water storage. 


But this system can also control the ground areas, and that means it can be used to track illegal hunters, but it can also support military operators at the ground area. High-flying, small size drone is very hard to detect because it has a very low infrared signature, and if the system is created by using stealth materials it's really hard to detect.

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...
