What means the caseless cartridge?


The computer base-launching systems can install electric cannons like the famous M-61 Vulcan (1). In this case in the middle of rotating tubes would mount a camera, which is connected to the image identifier. When the computer would see the hostile target, the electric cannon opens the fire.  If the camera is in the middle of the rotating tubes, the accuracy of the fire would be very high. 

The caseless cartridge (2) means the case, where ammunitions shell would burn to ash during the shot. If the case of the cartridge is made by using cellulose and filled with stone gunpowder. That means that the burning gunpowder will destroy the shell.  That means that there would not shells on the ground after the shot is fired. 

The metal storm (3) is an ultimate weapon, which can shoot over a million rounds per minute. The problem with this system is that the ammunition is loaded in the rows of separated tubes, where they are ignited by using an electric spark. 




In normal cases, the ammunition is separated in the tubes by the propellant what can be plastic explosives or stone gunpowder, which denies the need for removing shells. The computer-based launching system allows that the length of the firing bursts can order very sharply. But removing the used shells is a problem. If the system is using pre-loaded tubes, there is no problem, but if the operator should load that weapon at the field the form of the propellant is important. 

Removing the spool is the thing, that causes the problem because ammunition is in a row at the tubes. But the answer to the problem of how to remove the spoon might be using the stoned gunpowder. In this case, the ammunition would load at the front of the hardened gunpowder. This denies the need for spools in the cartridge. 

Another and the more conventional solution would be using the paper cartridge, which would turn ash when the gunpowder is burning. So in this case the metal storm doesn't need to remove used shells what makes it easier to use.

When robots are laughing and crying.

When robots are laughing and crying.  Does the AI have feelings?  Does the AI have feelings? Or can it be emphatic? The fact is this program code that controls the AI determines if it can give empathic reactions. The problem with the human nervous system is that we don't make a difference in the writing of empathic letters or telling empathic stories human or AI. Our nervous system is not adapted to AI yet. And that's why we cannot separate text written by AI from text that made by humans.  What does somebody make with AI that can emulate feelings? The fact is that the cyborgs are useful tools for infiltration operations. The human-size robots can have WLAN/6G connections with the central computers. Or they can form a neural network that shares information between all group members. The robots can also act as walking neural network-based supercomputers. That can make complicated solutions.  In those networks, each member shares information and their data-handling capacity all o

Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization

    Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization The Earth 2.0 or officially Kepler-452b is locating extreme log distance from Earth(1).    A new Earth-type planet has been found near the star, which is similar to our own Sun. The journey to that planet would take 1400 years, even if the spacecraft will reach the speed of the light. The planet has been found in the year 2008, but the confirmation of the existence of that planet has been taken time, but in 2015 the confirmation has been got, and Earth 2.0 has turned true.  The mass of that planet is 1,9 times Earth and the temperature is excellent if we are thinking about liquid water, but the journey to that planet will take so long, that we cannot ever go in there by using regular rockets and technology. The thing is that this kind of planets are the most interesting if we are looking for the lifeforms, which are similar to us, and the problem with that kind of things is that the communicatio

Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission

  Image I Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission 1) Tunguska UFO-theory  Tunguska meteorite is the mystery, that has been solved once, but then the case has been open again because Lake Cheko was not suitable for an impact crater. That lake has been introducing as an impact crater of the Tunguska meteorite. But the problem is that the shape of that lake is like a swimming pool. And that means it cannot form by a meteorite. So the mystery remains.  Meteorites can launch the natural nuclear fission if they hit the uranium ore, and transfer the impact energy to that ore. And is the thing that the famous "Tunguska" meteorite caused that kind of effect? There is also a theory that some "UFO" explode in that area, but the thing is that it is only theory, but interesting topics for some TV-series.  So I will begin this text by handling that theory, which is one of the incredible and outstanding theories in the world. Officially there is no physical evidence of
