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.

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...
