The light cable allows making the artificial sense of touch sensors for any layer in the world.

When we are sending the space-probes to the outer space in the great distances from the Earth, we must remember that there will be many problems, what the spacecraft would face, and of the greatest hazards is that probe would impact some micrometeorite, what might be the size of sand. That kind of impact might cause serious damages to the outer layer of the space-probe.


Even the damage would limit in the outer layer, could that uncover the computers and other equipment of that probe. That's why those probes must equip with the touch-detectors, what will tell to the central computer, that there was an impact situation.


One way to make that artificial sense of touch is to use light cables, what meters the curving of the layer. When the shape of the light cable will change, the sensors would notice that thing. Those sensors what meters the time, what the light uses when it travels thru the light cable and detects the change of the time and length of the waves. That change will tell, that the layer has been touch.


Another way to accomplish this solution is to use piezoelectric crystals, but we must realize, that those crystals must cover all the surface of the layer, and that's why the use of light cables is easier to accomplish. But when we are talking about the remote-controlled robots, what is controlled by the virtual reality systems, the use of that crystal allows transmitting the feel of sense to the data gloves, and that will make easier to control the robots from very long distances.


Those remote-control systems are similar, what is used to control the animated shapes in the Disney's studios. But this time that equipment will control the human shape robots, what could work in undersea conditions. They might also work on the battlefield, and those machines would be the most frightening thing in the battlefield of future.

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
