The electric switches can cause the massive EMP-signal, what might danger computer infrastructure in the large area.

The problem with high power radio-waves is very real for the electronic equipment. When we will switch on the light from the light switch, will that equipment create the radio wave. Normally those tiny radio waves won't cause any trouble because people switch off and on the lights in the different times. When the power is switched on or off, will the electrodes of the electric switch separated when there will the electrons jump across the little fissure between those electrodes, and this will cause the radio waves to the atmosphere.


In the normal life, there will be no situation, where about million people will switch on their lights in precise same time. But if there is the situation, where the electricity has been cut in large areas, the situation might be very different. If the electricity will cut off during the Christmas time, and the cut will stand less than the minute, is the little possibility, that there will be caused the situation, where millions of lamps will switch on in the same time.


Theoretically, that thing might cause the EMP (ElectroMagnetic Pulse), what can cause large-scale damages in the electric circuits. And especially the systems what consists microelectronics are in real danger to get the harmful strike from EMP, what will damage the circuits and the ROM-memories, what can be deleted, and if the microchip losses its programming, it will become a piece of sand.


There was the story that Mao Zedong made the plan to destroy the attacking American airplanes. He got an idea that every people in China should switch on the lamps when they will get command by the radio. When one billion electric lamps will put on in the same time, they would cause the massive EMP-pulse, what can harm the electronics in those assaulting airplanes. In one story, the government of China produced the adapter to the electric switches, what will cause sparks inside the switch box, by locking the button in the position, there will be the little fissure between the switch electrodes. This fissure causes the sparks and radio waves, what can make the communication by the radio waves impossible.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(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
