Using chemical weapons is against international law

There was suspected gas-attack in the Middle-East, and the gas what was used is probably chlorine. This is normal procedure when someone wants to create chemical weapons. The development of those chemicals is against international law, but the chlorine is and other that kind of chemicals are problematic because they are needed for cleaning the water of swimming pools. Production of the chlorine is very easy and cheap. The electrolytic process will break the salt molecules, and then there will release the chlorine and sodium, and the production of that gas, what was used already in the First World War.

The use of chemical agents in the war is very effective, but the problem with those weapons is, that they have no effect against military personnel. The military personnel has normally the protective clothes and the gas masks, and of course, they can get atropine what protects them against the nerve-agents like VX. The gas strike is normally the strike, where is used two types of chemical, the conventional chemical gas like chlorine or phosgene and the same time the enemy will target by nerve-agents. The gas mask protects against the most chemical agents, what will destroy lungs, and the protective suit protects normally against mustard gas. But the nerve agent will kill the person because it can infect the target straight thru the protective gear and the dose what comes thru the skin will kill the target in the seconds.

The idea of this strike is that the atropine must be taken by nail, and in the gas, the strike will have more killing effect if the protective suit will be broken. But nowadays there would be systems, what protects the personnel from the gas. The most effective way to protect the person from nerve gasses is to give the military personnel same kind of atropine capsule, what is used in the cure for drug addiction and alcoholism. Those capsules look like Antabuse-capsules, but they will release atropine in the blood vessels.

Those capsules are created against the poison of sea snakes, what has the same effect than nerve gasses. Also, the modified insulin-pumps are tested against those feared chemicals. Those insulin-pumps are the same kind of things that are used by persons, who have diabetes but who want to hobby sports. Those pumps are equipped with the gas detectors, and they will give the atropine to the blood immediately after the gas is delivered to the area. The reason, why the military forces have dropped gas-weapons out the arsenal is probably that those weapons will not leave marks for killing to the bodies.

And if the army will lay down after the chemical attack, and then the soldiers will raise up and start to fight in the middle of attackers, would the result be devastating. Also, the chemicals could be flying by the wind to the attacker's own lines, and that would cause own casualties. The gas weapon is only the terror weapon, what is effective only against civilians. There have been made investigations, where the nerve gas molecule is tried to connect to the iron atom, what allows the control of the gas with magnet fields.

That might be one of the worst scenarios, what the international law ever faced. The developing of those weapons is strictly prohibited, but CIA and some other intelligence services have been investigated the snake poison in the poison bullets and poisoned arrows, what can be shoot with the same kind of guns, what are used to sleep the animals. And of course the air-guns are interested those intelligence and espionage personnel, and the sea-snakes poison can be shoot to the target used very sharp nail and airgun. The poison is very lethal, and it can kill the target in the seconds.

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.

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
