The weapons and tradition

Below this text is a link to famous traditional German songs from the 17th. century. There is a series of portraits of that time art, and here I must mention, that I don't have copyrights for that video, but you might push the link and watch it by self. The film consists the interesting paintings from that period, and as you might seem, those paintings consist the introductions, how the weapons should handle, and of course the warnings and codes, what people who fought in 30-years war should afraid.


The rifles in those paintings seems normal weapons, but they are made by extremely strong materials, what means that they were so-called "hand cannons".  Those extremely powerful flintlock muskets could penetrate walls of stone houses, and that made them extremely dangerous.  Also, the crossbow was loaded with windlass, and that tells something, how powerful those weapons were. The strong bow would give extremely high power for arrows, what would send to the targets.


Also, there are paintings of the men, who use heavy swords. Those extremely long swords were so devastating, that they could cut the horse in two pieces. But in the 30-years war, those swords were also equipped with rifles, what would make them more powerful. The back of the sword was sometimes equipped with the small pistol, what could be used when the blade is turned upwards, and the opponent was not always noticed the pistol.


There are stories of the "singing swords", what was equipped with the instrument, what keeps the sound, what caused pain. The blade has targeted the sound and the target was screaming with pain. After that, the inventor named Alessandro Volta created the sword where was the Volta's statue in the band. That sword gave electric shocks to the other persons if Volta used that sword against other people.


There were, of course, the "Black magic", that meant that the swords could load with electricity, what was created by using static electricity. In fact in the modern military sometimes have been tested the catapults and even the crossbows, what are equipped with dynamos. The fast rotating dynamos can store the high voltage electricity for the arrows, and that could make them excellent electromagnetic weapons, what could damage the electronic equipment.


Those arrows would not deliver their electricity, because the wooden structure would be a good electric insulator. And during the 30-years war, the crossbows were equipped with muskets, because that gave the shooter the change for two fast shots.   Also sometimes recon troops have damaged the electric high voltage lines by shooting arrows, where was connected the electric wires. When the wires have touched the cables, that can cause damages to the power circuits.


Modern people have given also some new names for the paintings. In the 4:41 the painting was renamed as the "MAV attack". But the purpose is only to tell, that people are talking everything, what those men have done. And picture what is at the 3:38 is renamed as "Knight gets equipment from the fourth dimension". The meaning of that picture is only the remember that the men could have secret orders for some situations. There are many interesting details in the film, what is in the link, what is below the text. The meaning of the cloud is, of course, bad news. And in some pictures, the meaning is the scare the people, that somebody would see, what people are doing, and if those men were drunk, they were killed very easily.

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...
