The Stanford Torus the wheel-shaped space station.

  


The Stanford Torus the wheel-shaped space station. 


The Stanford Torus, a wheel-shaped space station is one of the most interesting things, that engineers can create. The wheel-shaped space station would make artificial gravity by using the rotating movement, and the centrifugal force would make the same effect with gravity. 


The problem is what would we do with Stanford Torus and the price of that system would be huge. If the materials are taken from Moon, that thing can cause changes in tidal waves. The Moon is stabilizing the tidal force, and if the Earth would not have Moon, that kind of thing would cause the effect, that the water would start to travel against the rotating direction of Earth. 


And the effect could be similar to what is happening in the container, what is shaken to and from. That effect is seen in Lake Michigan, where are giant waves because the water in that lake acts like water in the dish. And in oceans, this kind of effect would be more devastating than in Lake Michigan. Mostly those waves are caused by wind, but also the rotation of Earth affects that phenomenon, what makes Lake Michigan so dangerous



Stanford Torus and the fusion power


In the most conventional version, the Stanford Torus is used as the space station for workers who are working with the satellites, which delivers the solar power to the Earth. But there are more powerful systems, that can be used for energy production. 


There is a possibility that the Stanford torus is used as a fusion reactor. In that case, the wheel, where the crew would live is replaced by using the Tokamak Reactor, which would deliver the energy to the ground in the form of microwaves or laser rays. The problem is that the person, who controls the energy controls entire civilization. The problem with this kind of systems is that they are interested in the military forces. If the plasma, what is hotter than the nucleus of the sun will deliver to the atmosphere that thing can be used as a terrifying weapon. 


And there is a possibility that this kind of space colony would turn to home for the elitists, who can use this kind of toruses for controlling people, and the same lasers, what is delivering energy to the ground can be used for delivering destruction all around the world. If the laser-or microwave systems would be targeted to the water areas that thing can cause that the clouds will cover the entire planet. 


The Stanford Torus would have military purposes, and if that station is equipped with high-power microwave systems, it can control airspace and send the EMP-pulses through the atmosphere. That system can have adjustable power, which can destroy incoming missiles and electronic equipment, but high-energy microwaves can melt entire cities to lava. This is the shadow side of that technology.

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...
