Never leave children or animals in the car, when the weather is hot

Hot weather is extremely dangerous for every person, and this causes sometimes that even children are forgotten in the car. And those sad accidents are headlights in the news. There is one thing, what is interesting, how people can forget children in the car? Are they so unseen, that parents don't even notice them? If the weather is hot, and people must drink all the time, why those children would leave in the car alone, and the same question is about pets.


When we are thinking that news, where children have left alone in the car without water or protection, we must, of course, understand that loss of the child is the bad thing. But that thing is very serious, and if the children would not want to go to the shopping center, why some adult would not leave with them? Is it easier to read about that sad news where children would leave in the car and they have died or got injuries from the Internet?


If the keys are missing and the car doors would not be open, why those persons trying to break the window. Or call somebody to make that action, if there are so little muscles, that the windows would not be broken by the hammer. Of course, losing the children is very traumatic, but if the reason is that they were left to the car, would that kind of death avoided.


And this is the question about writing about this kind of cases. When we are thinking about the feelings of the parents, we forgot how those children suffer, when they died in the hot air. Even if we think that the justice system would tolerate and understand for those people, we must remember, that this kind of things must not be made easy for those people.


Losing a child or other human life is an extremely serious thing, but sometimes I'm thinking about situations, where families are worried, that their old people would drink enough. But there are many children and handicapped people, who would not able to communicate, or who would not know about the need for the water on a hot day. And if the staff, what should care about those people don't follow the drinking, would the result be very sad and traumatic.

Forgotten solution for automobiles: Steam car


Steam car

Kimmo Huosionmaa

There is one solution from the past, what might be interested some techno-freaks. That thing is the car, what uses steam engines. The idea of steam-engine cars is, that it uses the steam engine and the problem is, that it was complicated to use, and the gasoline motor replaced it, when Karl Bentz and Gottlieb Daimler made the first car, what used combustion engine. 

Steam cars had the oven on the right side and the passenger must put the wood to the oven when the car was in use. There was one thing, what made the steam car able to compete with the combustion car in the early years of the automobile, and that was the ability to use wood as the fuel, but when petroleum stations became common, steam cars remained in history. 


When we are talking with the piston-engine steam cars, they were complicated to use, because the pressure in the system must be raised, before the car was able to move. And when the people wanted to drive their steam cars, they needed to follow the pressure meter all the time, and release steam from the system, if the pressure rises to a dangerously high level. 


And there must be two persons in the car because another one needed to put the wood in the oven. Otherwise, the driver must stop driving, before increasing wood. In the modern time sometimes there were talking about the ability to return the steam car to traffic because it has the capacity to use a different kind of fuels. The liquid fuel can burn in the same grate with gas, and the bottles are easy to put in the car. 


Also, the capacity to use wood makes that car an interesting choice for some people, who are living long away from civilization, but these plans have had very little volume and the planned production number was the only couple of individuals, what was planned a build for experimental purposes. But when we are thinking about the speed of the steam car, they might not quite slow, because if the piston engine would be replaced the steam turbine, what would be put to the axel like, that would go thru it. 


The speed of those cars is high. The last time when the steam turbine was planned to install serially produced car was 1960's when American car industry planned to put the turbine in the car. The steam-Wankel was planned to replace the turbine or Wankel-motor, what have rotating piston because there was no heat exhausted gas. 


Normal turbine released extremely heat exhaust gas, what could burn people. And that's why the engineers wanted to put the steam engine for the car. Making the steam would happen with oil or gasoline burner, what is used in the oil heating system. In some cases, the NASCAR or Indianapolis-formulas have planned to use turbine booster with the normal engines. When the driver needs the power to pass another car, and normal engine power would not be enough, he would release the steam to the turbine. 



The system would be like the normal cooler of the car, what is installed in the side of the motor. And when it wanted to use, the steam would be released to the turbine, what would give extra speed for that car, but these plans have remained in the papers. But the world of technology is the interesting thing, and that's why those kinds of things are nice to investigate and think, what if Karl Bentz would not have gasoline in hands when he made the first combustion engine.

Writing about haunted cars

Kimmo Huosionmaa

There are many stories about haunted cars, what are told to travel around the road alone. And those vehicles would cause accidents and even deaths. Here I must say that many of those stories are from the Eastern Europe, and there might be something true behind those stories. The thing what causes the stories of ”haunted cars” like ”Black Volga” or ”Ghost Tschaika” were born, because those vehicles were reserved for the official use of the secret police and the leaders of the state. When we are thinking about the situation, that some traffic police would stop the personal car of Joseph Stalin,  that would mean death for that police officer.


And the same reason there is a story of ”Ghost Cadillac” in Finland. Here I must say, that this particular story doesn't involve mysterious deaths or anything like that. It tells the story of Black Cadillac, what has caused the traumatic situation for some policemen. And here I remember that the President of Finland has Black Cadillac in official use for the duty. Those haunted cars are of course interesting stories for investigators. Many times there would be stories about empty cars, what is traveling on the highway without the driver. And the explanation for those vehicles might be more natural than supernatural.


Those cars might be radio-controlled units, what are used for security duties in those convoys. The radio-controlled robot cars might also use in undercover operations for locating the chemical or radioactive fallout. Those robot cars might use also for Pathfinders in convoys. The mission for those cars is searching the mines from the road. Radio controlled cars can also use in kidnapping operations, and those cars might have nitrous oxide bottles inside, that the person, who sits in the car would be calm.


And of course, the killing version of those cars might be that the exhaust gas would lead to the cabin. This might cause the feeling, that somebody is smothering in that car's cabin. But also the bad condition of the car might happen similar situation. The result for getting too much exhaust gas would be similar, are they conducted to the cabin by accidentally or on purpose. That's why old cars mus repaired carefully because they might be in very bad condition.

Could the car of tomorrow change their shape like the amoeba?


(Picture 1)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Some ideas of the nano-technology seem like SciFi, and they look like "too technical". But we must remember, that yesterday's SciFi is today's reality. And when we are talking about the nano-dough, what could take any form, what it wants, we must remember, that there is only the very large mass of those tiny artificial molecules needed, when they could take the shape of the big object.


But maybe some days of the future, that thing could be possible. In that mass would be tiny nano-sized microprocessors, what would control that dough, and they might have the capacity for using artificial intelligence to control that artificial amoeba. The nanotechnology makes very many advantages for every product in the world.


When we are looking at the opportunities of that technology, we even cannot imagine how wonderful, effective and frightening is this new material-technology, what can revolutionize almost everything in the world. At tomorrow we might just upset the mass to the ground, and then that dough will formatting itself as the shape of the house or even the car. In theory, nanotechnology will make possible to build the "Kitt 2000"-type automobile, what can be reformatting the shape anytime, when it needs another shape.



The motor would be not the problem, and in theory, the nano-dough can also use as the motors, what would be liquid, when those nano-machines would not need anymore. This theoretical robot-amoeba could take any form when it needs, and if the car would make this material, it can take the form, what could be called as "pancake".  When this hypothetical car would park, it can avoid the parking ticket, because it would take the "pancake form".  So, in theory, that car can take a new form as the airplane or barrier. When we are -talking about those visions, we must consider that that nanomachines are looking like the silver dough and that mass would be full of little "spiders", what would use as the forming that mass.


The mass itself would be the hybrid molecules of silicon and some magnetic metal, and when the mass needs new shape, those robot spiders will format that mass, and then the electricity will be conducted to that dough would those molecules locked together for the new thing. The problem of that thing is, that the nano-dough is needed very much if that mass wanted to take a shape or airplane. But that kind of nanotechnology can be used as the material, what could be fixed by themselves.
