The United States Of America has legalized the 3D-printed weapons. Manufacturing the 3D-printed weapons is quite expensive, and there is needed 3D-printer, what can produce steel parts. That thing is a modified MIG-welding machine, and it's quite expensive. Also, the system needs the CAD-models of every single part of the gun, and then the system must be sharp enough, that the parts would be fitted together. This is why normal people must not be worried about this technology, and that kind of systems are actually so expensive, that lone gunmaker would not have change or willing to pay the prize about that machine.


When we are thinking about the tests, where the guns are made by using 3D-printers, the parts of the weapon have been scanned by using laser scanners for taking precise right form and dimensions of every part of that weapon. So this is the very expensive project, and that's why would be easier to produce illegal weapons by using conventional methods. That's why those weapons, what are made by using 3D-printers  are not very common in the hands of hobbyists and other persons.


But those expensive manufacturing tools can be bought by the actors like drug cartels and Mafia, but those organizations have their channels, where they can get weapons. And also some motorcycle clubs may have the interest to buy the 3D-printing system, what can manufacture weapons. As you see, manufacturing the machine parts is not so easy, as people normally believe. The dimensions and form of the part must be made exactly right, or the gun or another machine would not work. Of course is possible that somebody would draw the gun parts by using CAD-programs or scans them to the net by using laser-scanners.


And there is an application for the mobile telephone, what can be used for that thing, but the scanning must happen in the right way, and the telephone should not shake during the process. Of course, there is need the model, what can be used for that action. This is the question of the 3D-printed weapons. If somebody would want this stuff, that person would get it, but that would need highly professionalism to make working weapons or other machines. But there are organizations, what are willing to pay for those skills.

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...
