The "Skytta" and the principle of boat design

(Picture 1)



Above this text is the picture of one small boat, what has attractive color. The type of this boat is "Skytta". This boat is very capable of open sea sailing, but there is one problem with them. The problem is that "Skytta" would "swim" quite deep, and this is the thing, what makes it so nice thing for open sea sailing and yachting.


The roots of this kind of structure are from similar galeases, what Kristopher Columbus used in his first trip to America. Or one thing has been forgetting, only the flagship "Santa Maria" and the "Pinta" were galeases. The third one "Nina" was faster than other ships of the Columbus fleet. "Nina" used the Arabian rig, where the yard was put below the sail.


Galeases are very deep sailing ships, that are also very short. In the time of Columbus, the half of those ships might be under the sea, and that was made those ships very stable. That's why they were very popular in the explorations. Today this kind of "Skytta" follows the tradition, what was known in the time of Columbus. The deep driving boat is very stable and qualified solution for the trip to outer sea. And this will be given great marketing this kind of boats, what is the very popular solution for yachting and other free time actions.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources.

   Use virtual "perpetual motion machines"  and seawater as energy sources.  The Archimedean screw can offer almost endless energy sources.  "Robert Fludd's 1618 "water screw" perpetual motion machine from a 1660 wood engraving. It is widely credited as the first attempt to describe such a device." (Wikipedia/Perpetual motion) The term "virtual perpetual motion machine" means a machine. That pulls water to the upper tank using a capillary tube. Then that water will fall through the generator or turbine wheel. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", that is impossible because of laws of thermodynamics.  The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a " real perpetual motion machine", which is impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics.  The real perpetual motion machines don't use outside energy. And that's why they are not possible....

Will humans survive the sun's red giant stage?

"As the Sun matures into a Red Giant, the oceans will boil and Earth will become uninhabitable." (The Conversation, The sun won’t die for 5 billion years, so why do humans have only 1 billion years left on Earth?) Sooner or later, all stars use their hydrogen. And then they turn into red giants. Sun is a yellow G spectral class star that turns into a white dwarf. But before that, the sun will turn larger.  The sun turns red and that means. It starts to send more infrared radiation. This thing will turn Earth into a hellish temperature that vaporizes water from Earth.  It's possible. That Earth will also vaporize with Venus and Mercury. Some scientists say that we have only 1 billion years to move farther in the solar system. The habitable zone will go to the distance of Jupiter and Saturn, and maybe humans find a safe place in those distant moons.  It's possible that before Sun will grow too large humans make large groups of mirror satellites or large shields that sho...

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru...
