The new type of helicopters are not new ideas

The problem with the helicopters is that they are not very fast, in the comparison between aircraft, and the second thing is that sometimes helicopters are so noisy. When the SWAT-team would land on the roof of the building, they normally want the operate silent, or that's what normal people think because that allows them to make surprise attack to space, where the target is.


If the helicopter would be hit by weapons, it should land safely, and that's why there should be used the autorotation if there would be problems with engines. Autorotation is the thing, what is used in the "Autogyros", and it means that the rotor of the helicopter would let rotate freely, what would be slow the dropping speed. The same system, what makes helicopters safe in the landing situation, makes it silent. The idea of the Autogyro is not new. In the medieval time were created the toys, what were landed slow, when they were thrown in the air.

Those rotor-toys gave an idea to Juan de Gierva to make the worlds first Autogyro. In the movie "007 and the Moonraker" James Bond used Autogyro against bad guys helicopters, and in some rumors,  the CIA and MI-6 have those small Autogyros, what are equipped with "Stinger" missiles and lightweight anti-tank weapons like Bofors RBS-56 "Bill". Also, light machine guns can be used in this thing, what could be effective against some drug baron. Those lightweight aerial vehicles can be also used in mercenary-operations around the world.

If the rotor of the helicopter would be equipped with the connector, what is used in cars, the pilot can turn the power off from the main rotor, and then the helicopter would land without noise. But when we are thinking about Autogyros, we can build them to look like the normal helicopter. When the Autogyro is going airborne, the power would be connected to the main rotor, and the system acts like the normal helicopter. And when the pilot wants to fly fast, the power would switch off the main rotor, when the helicopter would increase the speed.


But when we would want to make the helicopter, what can fly as fast as the airplane, we would face the problem, that the main rotor would not stand the speed. This is why there have been created the system, what is known as the "disc rotor". That system is actually the disc what increases like the pancake when the speed of rotor would increase, and when the speed of rotor would decrease, the size of the disc would decrease. This would give a chance to make faster helicopters or Autogyros than ever before.

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...
