A couple of words about Chinese flying submarine drones

Image 1) Chinese flying submarine concept.

The idea of the flying submarine is not new. There made more or less theoretical plans for creating a submarine that can slip near its target, attack it, and fly away. Sometimes those systems are planned to use the ground-effect technology. And that thing could make those aircraft-submarine combinations fly at a low level.

Above this text, you can see the Chinese model or artist's impression of that thing. The fact is that those drones are large-size. And they can carry also agents and special forces operators to the coastline. But those systems' main role might be to operate as the ship-killers. And against coastal targets. But there is the possibility that the Russian new nuclear-powered "Skyfall"-missiles might be planned to have similar abilities.

The ability to patrol silently under the ocean surface. Until they get orders to attack. And then suddenly go airborne and attack against inland targets.

Another interesting thing about the underwater systems is the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that can operate underwater and which makes it undetectable. There have been many submarines before WWII that has things like floatplanes. And Japanese submarines had floatplanes on board to search targets for submarines.

There is a possibility that some of those floatplanes could make torpedo attacks. But the nuclear-powered version would be a full-scale submarine aircraft carrier.

The idea was to combine the aircraft carrier and submarine. The carrier would patrol silently underwater. And then suddenly come to the surface and start the aircraft operations. The design was from the 1950s and that thing was too technical for that time's technical level. Things like VTOL aircraft removed the need to develop that kind of system. But it remains an example of a weird but innovative design.

There was a more conventional version of the "undercover aircraft carrier". The idea was that the submarine has a long incline or hangar above its roof. And then the XF2Y-1 Sea Dart jetfighter could launch from that hangar. The "Sea Dart" used water skis for take-off and landing. The idea was to use that aircraft against Soviet bombers. Maybe, there were plans that the similar skis that were installed under the XF2Y-1 Sea Dart will install under the body of the nuclear-powered cruise missile called "Project Pluto".

But modern submarines can operate by using multi-use drones. The small-size drones can make attack and patrol missions on the coastline and open seas. Those drones can use hydrogen as fuel and they can make similar missions to regular drones.

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...

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...
