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.

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...

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...
