Oobleck the fantastic biomaterial.

   



Oobleck the fantastic biomaterial.

As you see from the film above "oobleck" cannot stop a bullet if it is packed in the normal water balloon. But the thing is different if oobleck is packed in the mylar, nylon, or kevlar balloon. Oobleck can use to give a more thick layer for stiff the structure in blown bridges. Or protect the inner layer of spacecraft against heat. The liquid oobleck can deliver over the blown structure for stiffing it.

"Oobleck" is one of the most interesting materials in the world. The material itself is the equal parts of cornstarch and water. One of the abilities of oobleck is that when something hits it, that material is turning very hard. So that thing makes it possible to run on the layer of oobleck, and keep feet dry. Oobleck is a biomaterial that is cheap to produce, and there is one very interesting field, where that material can use.

One of the places where oobleck can use is blown or other lightweight bridges. The structure of the bridge is blown in form. And then there would be a layer of oobleck below the lightweight lid. When some people or vehicles will drive over that bridge, the oobleck will turn harder.

The ability to turn hard makes that kind of material a good thing to use as protective clothing. When somebody hits the vests, which are filled by using oobleck that thing would turn very hard. So the bullet- or hit protecting clothes can use oobleck in some of their layers. Oobleck can also be used to protect spaceships against damages.

The damaged heat shield can cover by using the profile that gets their form by filling them with using oobleck. That makes the repairment part filling in the smaller space. If that bag-looking structure is needed that thing can fill by using oobleck and water that will make it possible to make a single-used heat shield that can use in cases when the heat shield is damaged. That thing can help to get the craft back to Earth.

I don't know would the drops of oobleck turn very hard as the bigger layers. But there is the possibility to drop the oobleck as the drops from the aircraft. Or at the front of ammunition can also put oobleck, which would make it possible to make a new type of flechette or shotgun ammunition.

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 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...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...
