There are many variants of C-130, what are marked as "EC-130". Normally this marking means "Compass call" electronic warfare platform.  Jamming enemy communications radio broadcasts and radars are the key roles of EC-130 "Compass call" platforms. And they have not very much effect against troops, who would not use electronic equipment like Walkies-talkie radios.


The main problem with those platforms is that they are good targets for Surface-To-Air missiles, what are modified to home the radio transmitters. The jamming capacity of EC-130 is meant to make enemy transmissions longer, and that would make easier to target them. Also, the mission of jamming platforms is to make the electronic shield attacking fighters and bombers. The jamming capacity is also effective against drones and data communication.


That way of jamming is targeted to enemy aircraft IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) systems, what makes difficult to separate ownership and enemy planes. The problem with jamming systems is that they must be updated, that they could be effective against enemy systems.  The EC-130 "Compass call"/ "Rivet rider" platforms are highly effective part of US. military arsenal, but their missions are so different than other military aircraft. The mission of electronic warfare systems is to stay behind the attacking aircraft and support them with electronic transmissions. Some of those platforms are equipped with special communication systems, what are probably used for giving false commands to the enemy. There is claimed to be systems, what can transfer spoken English to Arabic or worlds of any other targeted group language.


The other version of EC-130 electronic battlefield support plane is "Commando Solo"/"Rivet Rider" variant. The last one planes mission is the little bit different than "Compass call". "Commando Solo" is psychological (PSY-OP) and information warfare (INFO-OP) platform, what missions are highly classified. The "Commando Solo's" major mission is to operate as a flying TV- and radio station, but there could also be a capacity to send so-called subliminal transmissions to the enemy communication network. Those transmissions include short-term "flash" pictures and infrasound messages to enemy troops. Also, EC-130 includes some command posts, what are serving SAC and Special Forces.

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.

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

There might be an answer to why there is a gravitational hole in Earth's gravitational field.

The gravitational field at the point of the Indian Ocean is weaker than in other places on Earth. The existence of that gravitational hole is proved. But the reason why that gravitational hole is formed is unknown. The reason why the gravitational field on the Indian Ocean is weaker might be a simple thing.  There is a possible lighter rock in the mantle, or there is less material at that point. In some wildest theories, there are bubbles in magma that turn below the bottom of the Indian Ocean are less massive than in other places on Earth. The lighter material at that point should make the hole in gravitation.  "Geoid undulation in false color.
