The MIT researchers created an aircraft that flies without any moving parts.




The idea of that kind of craft is that the ionized air will pull between wings. And that airflow forms buoyancy. The MIT design might seem very peaceful. That kind of airborne system where is no moving parts can use to make new radical miniature aerial vehicles. And the same system can also use in miniature underwater concepts. The thing is that new multi-use and sophisticated systems can also fly. 

The ion systems can also use in new powerful V/STOL (Vertical/ Short Take-Off and Landing) technology. In that case, the aircraft can have antennas or mushes that ionize the air. Then the magnetic systems can pull that ionized airflow below wings and make the aircraft rise from the ground. The ion-based technology makes the airflow that rises aircraft. 

The ion-based systems can also use for aircraft action systems. The ionized gas that comes behind the aircraft can blind other aircraft and destroy the electronics of the missiles. But the ion engines are making it possible to create new and powerful hypersonic aircraft. 

The same technology can use to make ion engine-driven hypersonic aircraft. In the hypersonic systems, the air channels that are equipped with magnetic accelerators will make through the wings in the horizontal direction. The speed of those ions depends on the power of electricity in those channels. 

The aircraft ionizes the air at the front of the air channel. And then the acceleration track will be accelerating the ionized air. The difference between this concept and electric jet engines is that. There are no moving parts in an engine. That means there is no problem with rotating turbines. 

This technology can connect with electric jet engines very easily. The compressor face of the turbine can close when the aircraft speed turns too high. And then the air will flow in the acceleration track around the turbine. Or the turbines and turbogenerators can be in the body of aircraft. And in that case, those systems are delivering electricity to the separated magnetic accelerators. 

This kind of system can connect with solar panels and RAT (Rapid Air Turbine systems) and even nuclear reactors or remote energy transmit systems. That means the system can collect energy from many places. And that thing makes them multi-use and economic.

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
