"UFO project" from the past.

4) Leonardo's ballista or great crossbow. 


The most well-known aviation project from the past is Leonardo da Vinci's flying machine. Sometimes researchers say that the system used flapping wings like a bird. The idea was that the plane used a similar system. That is used in some weight training systems. 

The idea was that the system's user pushes and pulls the stick that moves the wings. The reason that the flying machine didn't work. Was that Leonardo couldn't copy the bird's wing's movement trajectories. But maybe that system could work as a glider. 

But sometimes, some researchers suggested that the system was a glider that wings could put in a cargo position. And in the most incredible theories, the system used ion engines. The stick would ionize the air and the ring would pull those ions through it. But maybe that was a little too complicated even for Leonardo himself. 

Maybe Leonardo planned to use that glider with the great ballista. The giant crossbow would shoot that aviation system into the air. And the user of the system could drop the powder dish into the target. But then we can think that there is a possibility that Leonardo's tank was some kind of aviation machine. 

Some researchers created the UFO, by using Leonardo's tank as the model. The idea of this kind of flying machine was that in the middle of that flying machine is a quadcopter. The quadcopter is responsible for vertical movement. And then the cannons are replaced by radially installed jet engines. That thing allows the heavier-than-air system to hover above the land without noise. 

Aviation systems are always very interesting things. And we can only imagine what people like Leonardo da Vinci would do with the internet and modern computers.  

When we are looking at another of Leonardo's interesting models, his helicopter, the screw-looking wing is interesting. Maybe he created that aerial screw to use as a parachute. We can say that this screw-looking wing is meant for jumping from the cliff. 

So the user of the system will not rise from the ground. The user must only jump from the cliff, and then the screw will slow the jumper's speed. But if the airflow that comes from below pushes the system upwards.

Quantum compass and next generation navigation


https://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The vulnerabilities of GPS systems have been noticed, and that system has many weaknesses. The use of satellites makes it vulnerable to ASAT (Anti Satellite)-missiles, and another kind of weapons. That's why the military forces of the world are looking for the replacement for GPS. Even if the new systems, what bases the jumping frequencies are more immune to jamming than old systems, the replacement, what does not need satellites are now under the development.

Quantum compass might replace the GPS because it's immune to jamming systems. The major weaknesses of the GPS are the system uses satellites for giving the position of the point. And this is why GPS is quite easy to jam, and the other weaknesses are that the system cannot be used in underground or EMP-protected places.

Also, northern lights are disturbing that device, because they form ion layer in the top of the atmosphere. This means that the operators, who use GPS must find another way to locate themselves. The answer in submarines has been to use the Inertial navigation system, what connects the information of the speed of the thing, what uses that system, and the gyroscope meters the direction of the ship or aircraft.  In modern gyroscopes, the layer would lay in the magnetic field, and it is rotating like in the electric motors. The lasers would observe the direction and positioning of that magnetic plate, what reacts extreme sharply in any changes in direction of the system.

By using this information can the computer map the position, if the beginning point of the journey is known in the vehicle. This navigation system can map the entire route of the navigated thing. But this system requires the begin location for mapping, or it is useless. This is the problem with this system. Also, the problem is to make it enough small that person can carry it in the pocket, and the need of speed information makes this thing hard to use in ground vehicles.  Setting the beginning point of navigation is also difficult if the person jumps by using a parachute, where the beginning point is hard to locate.

The answer for the problem could be the very sharp magnetic compass, what bases technology, where the layer is floating in the magnetic field, and the multiple lasers are observing the position of that thing. The new kind of systems might be the combination, where is magnetic and gyro compass working together. Those systems might be very small and that would make them very light and effective.

The magnetic version of this compass works with a similar principle with normal magnetic compass, and the system calculates the place of the system by using the angle of the north pole for locating the system. The difference between the Inertial navigation system is that the plate must be in a stable position. There would be extremely thin magnet nail on it, and that makes possible to locate the magnetic north pole very sharply.

If those systems are based with nanotechnology, where the plates are extremely thin, and the width will be the only couple of micrometers and the size is smaller than coin or even the thumbtacks, the system would be extremely small. But of course, the operator needs more information and one is the knowledge about where the system is. So the operator must put the state or some coordinates, where he might be, that the computer can locate the person. This might be the next generation locating system.

The ideas of the modern architecture



https://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Above this text is a picture of the modern building site at Helsinki, Finland, and I thought that this shows, how the modern materials and innovation change the way to make buildings. The modern materials and the CAD-based computer research allows making more advanced and sophisticated planning for buildings. The next generation buildings are made with CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design)/(Computer Aided Manufacture)  methodology, what allows to make the buildings, where every part fits perfectly in the position, where it is planned. In this process, the computers would send the CAD  pictures to the company, what makes the elements, and that allows to make unique elements, what have different shapes and metering.


The size and color of each element can be unique, and that makes possible to apply new kind of things in the structure of the buildings.  That allows using the elements and material very sharp, and there would become the minimum number of building waste.  But that technology allows to make houses, where are new kind of components, what was ever before in the normal buildings. That kind of solutions could be the balconies, what can be pulled in, when the weather is bad. That could deny the accumulation of snow. But that kind of detail could be a very interesting part of the building.


That kind of things are the things, what could be standard in the houses of tomorrow. Also, computers would follow the moisture of the elements by using special nanosensors, what collects the information about the moisture and other erosion in those elements. That "smart sand" is the microchips, what meters the quality of the elements, and also the movements of the building. The idea of the intelligent house is that the ventilation and the brightness of the windows would react continually for the temperature and sunlight, that the houses would become more comfortable for people, who live in there.

Sven Dufva, the most well-known character of "The tales of Ensign Stål"


(Picture I)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

This is the philosophical point of view to Sven Dufva is the most well-known poems of the book "The tales of Ensign Stål". We actually don't know if this character pure fictional or is behind it some real person. That man said to be big and strong, and sometimes I have had a very interesting thought in my mind. That is "could Sven Dufva is automaton". That theory is very wild, but as we know, the automaton fascinated theologians, military leaders, and philosophers all around the world. And sometimes I have thought that if this very interesting character could be some kind of automaton.


This wild theory might explain, why this man was so slow. If this man was some kind of early robot, it would be the very fascinating thing for historians. This poem is the tale of the soldier, who was not very smart. This man left behind others and defended some bridge alone against Russians. The poem is very strange because there is told, that if Dufva would get help, could the army stay in the positions.


But as we know that this man had no change at all to win the battle alone, and then we must say, that if that man had a machine gun, could he kept the position, but armed with a musket, that man had no change. A bridge what this man ordered to defend was not very wide because Sven Dufva could defend it alone. Sven Dufva's bridge has sometimes searched in Finland, but nobody claims to find it. And that has made somebody thought that maybe this man is only the production of images, what came to somebody's mind during the writing process. But somebody believes that this man was real, and they have wanted to find the grave of this creature.


What makes Dufva so mysterious, is that he claimed to be a little bit slow, or there was something problem in his head. And I sometimes have thought that what was the reason for that? Could he just be the Finnish spoken person, who just had difficulties to understand commands, what were given by using Swedish?  In that time Finnish was not an official language in Swedish empire, but that was not spoken very much outside the universities and royal offices.  And if Dufva would not get practice for that language, could the military service be very difficult.


 And if his fellows didn't know about that language problem, would this poor man seem some kind of slow, what could make difficult to get promotions and handling all other things were very difficult, because Swedish officials didn't speak or wrote Finnish. In that army, everybody has expected that every man used Swedish in official papers, commands, and free-time social interaction. If somebody didn't handle Swedish good enough, that could mean, that he would be isolated from the social interaction of the unit.


But when he fell by enemy bullets, the bullet hits to the heart of that man. And sometimes people have thought, that maybe there was some kind of steel plate under the skin, what could be stopped the bullets, what shot to that man's head. Maybe that metal plate put in his head some doctor, who gave Dufva the cure of the broken skull, but this is only thinking, and my dear friends, we don't know if this character real or fiction.  And some other people think that maybe this Sven Dufva was some kind of mechanic human. Those early robots were used in very limited missions, and they were actually like walking clocks, what were made for fun.


But in some cases, those mechanic men or automaton were planned to equip with explosives, and send to the enemy lines. Those robot men were very difficult to make, and that's why they were made only very little quantum. Somebody claims that even the action movie character "Rambo" have got influence from this almost mythical creature. This creature is one of the most fascinating characters in the history of books, what are written in Finland.

About innovation and how it can be destroyed



Kimmo Huosionmaa

Money is a good thing, but if you want to destroy innovation, you must do one bad decision. That is giving money to the team little bit too early. If a team is not ready for innovation and it inner pierces are not playing on the same team, the innovation in the team might die. If team members must race against together they will destroy all company or proto company. When the young person establishes new company they must realize that the investors are not angels. They don't give money for free. They want their investments back with heels. And when team collects new money, they must first make the product ready. After that, they can introduce that thing to investors.


The team is the most important thing in the innovation process, and a key element is that team members must trust each other. If they must be afraid to talk freely, without fear kickoffs, the team will work better than if somebody must afraid that he or she will kick off. If some member of the team will always yell to others and behaves like an asshole, that will poison all atmosphere of that team. The most vulnerable thing for team spirit is a person who plays something that he or she is not.


Another way to destroy innovation is that some member of the team will know that he or she will kick off in some day. When we remember that team spirit is very important for innovation, what kind of motivation will have a member who is totally out of the team? Does that person gives his or her full attention and does he or she deliver own ideas to others. I think that answer is “no", and that person probably does not even talk to other personnel of the group. Most of that person’s time goes with making new CV and job application for next job interview. That will not rise that kind of workers work spirit.


But why giving money too early makes bad things for innovation? When somebody is giving money for something that makes target society a firm. In the firm innovation is not free, because customers want profits. And if the product is not ready, that will cause stress for the members of a team. And if the customer or business angel gives money will that person cause race situation inside that group, because everybody wants money and profits from their product. When somebody wants to invest money to some company or product he or she wants to get outcomes from his or her investment.


So when business angel wants 20% profit that person wants 1,20 euros for every euro what that person gives to the company. And that makes stress to the team because they must have something to show on deadline. And that "something" must be something, what gives money to that person. If money doesn't come, that "angel" will get the team to court and begins debt collection, and that is a very unhappy situation for everybody.

Cosmic vacuums and gravitational drive.

Maybe. We can never create the WARP drive. That can transport entire spacecraft. But maybe. We could create the dark point in the light wave...
