Thermophotovoltaic cell (TVP). And electricity-creating bacteria can be the power sources of the future.

 The new thermophotovoltaic cell (TVP) makes energy from the intensive heat. 


The TVP or thermophotovoltaic cell can form electricity from bright light. Or actually, the system makes high-energy photons that are sent to the silicon layer. The system needs 1900 to 2400 degrees celsius for creating an energy level, high enough for making electricity from high-energy photons. 

The TVP cells are interesting tools. They are acting like regular photovoltaic cells or solar panels. And if the researchers can create the spider net by using hollow transparent nanotubes with an extremely bright light that uses some gas like acetylene or methane for making the light. 

That thing can use to make the system that allows solar panels can create energy in the dark and nighttime. The TVP cells can use for making solar power drones that can operate at night time. And those TVP systems can also use for making deep-space probes that can operate far away from the sun without nuclear energy.

The system can use the methane-creating batteries and the carbon removing systems for removing carbon from the carbon dioxide. Then the methane can use in the light that creates high-energy photons for the TVP cells.

The electricity creating bacteria can use also for energy supply to the robots. 


Bacteria that use methane for nutrients and make electricity can give energy for the large entireties. The system needs only rotten waste for making methane. That bacteria use for making electricity. But genetic engineering is making that kind of system more powerful. 

The bacteria that is creating electricity is an interesting idea. By using the bacteria cultures are possible to create even the high-voltage systems. By using genetic engineering is possible to hybridize those electric creating bacteria with the cells that create electricity for electric eel. Those cells can create over 800 volts of electrical voltage. 

If those bacteria are in the cell cultures they can use for creating the high-voltage biological power units. Those biological batteries can be connected side by side and in a series. Just like normal chemical batteries. There is the possibility that those cell cultures are in the bird's feather-like structure.

Maybe some futuristic robots are like Phoenix from mythology. 


The idea for the robot bird whose feathers are the power supply units for the computers and other systems is taken from the myth of the Phoenix Bird mythology. Sometimes some engineers suggested that the Phoenix Bird is the Von Neumann machine that creates a copy of itself. The feathers of that robot would be the bacteria cultures that are delivering energy for that machine. Those cells can use the algae for nutrients. And that means those futuristic robots can use vegetable fertilizer as a nutrient. 

Where in the side channels are the places where bacteria live. And in the middle of that thing is the central electric wire that transfers electricity to the main system. The side and serially connected batteries can reconnect to the bigger entireties. And in the biological batteries, the power supply will make by using biological components like bacteria that create electricity. 

That system requires nutrients and there is the possibility that tomorrow's robots eat the same food as people. They need the artificial stomach where food is turned into nutrients for those electric creating bacterial.

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...
