Now old time motorcycle series like "Streethawk" became true with Russian flying motorbike and Japanese robot biker

Many 1980's TV-series have become reality by modern technology. Do you remember those series like "Knight Rider" or "Streethawk", where the hero had awesome wonder car or motorbike, and "Streethawk" heroes equipment had also weapons? That vehicle was a heavily modified computer controlled motorcycle. That kind of motorcycles will work perfectly because the remote operator will change systems for the driver, and if you mean kill systems like guns and grenade launchers what are installed in motorcycles cover doesn't work think that twice.


All systems in that fictional super motorcycle are remote controlled, so the driver is needed only one single button to take a control with them. Extreme high speed for that motorcycle will create with electric motors. The motorcycle would be hybrids, what can change between combustion and electric motors. The picture what is above text is a picture of Yamaha robot motorcyclist. So tomorrow we might meet also robot law enforcement who drive with motorcycles. They might search for people who want to harm motorcycle-drivers.


But modern technology will make this kind of bike to operate without remote control. If the modern driver would have the user interface what could operate by eye look and that is the same kind of system what is used by Stephen Hawking. And that kind of super bikers helmet might also be equipped with infrared cameras and HUD visions. Controlling computers might put to cases of that bike, and normal laptop could be enough to control that thing. Those series were quite popular, but those day's technology was not enough to build real things of that kind of equipment. Those "Streethawks" were totally imagination, but do you know that those series have a connection with real life.


Special Forces have special equipment for their missions, and that means that they have hybrid motor scooters, motorbikes, and cars what can move silent near the target, and some of those vehicles are equipped with forwarding shooting machine guns and another kind of weapons what sometimes can harm even heavy armored vehicles. Those kinds of weapons are grenade launchers what can use high explosive antitank grenades to target.


Sometimes intelligence services have put rocket launchers like bazookas to their cars mask. Those weapons can be very lethal. But nowadays technology will make even motorbikes as a robot. If that vehicle will be equipped with keel sensors and remote control motors and other electronics will put to the motorcycle it could be drive semi-autonomous. The control system can communicate with supercomputers via mobile Internet, and that computer might help local system with it massive calculating capacity. Or the driver can replace with, a humankind of robot what is developing under control of DARPA or in this case Yamaha. And motorcyclist mask will cover that robots silhouette, that people can't recognize it as the machine.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
