The writing about "USS Turtle" the first submarine of the US Navy from the Independence War 1776.

The first submarine of the U.S Navy was egg-shaped "USS Turtle", what made the first submarine attack in the history against British ships in New York harbor. This submarine had the capacity to slip in the harbor, and then put the explosives under the ships hull, but those attacks failed because the explosives were wet.


As a technical solution "Turtle" was quite interesting, and it had very much capacity if it were covered by glassed clay or rubber layer, what would give it the capacity for deep submerge, and of course the user of that submarine must have gas mask against the carbon dioxide. The propels could use by a similar plate, what was used in "singer" pedal sewing machine. If that singer-system would be used in that submarine, the man who controlled it would not get so tired, and this person could move this submarine faster.


We must remember that this kind of small submarines, what is used by muscle power could be dangerous even today because the modern explosives like C-4 are capacity to explode even they were wet. Everybody can try to build this kind of vehicle, and the problem is the sealing of the windows and other changes.


For the personal safety, the user of this submarine need only seal the hull very sharply. And then the user of this submarine has modern scuba-equipment, this submarine would be lethal.  In this scenario, the submarine's mission is to give cover to the water pressure, and the man, who controls that unit can use recycling pressure air system, what will recycle the air by using active carbon filters, and that kind of thing might slip in any harbor.


The shape of the egg is very good against the pressure, and in some scenarios, the modern nuclear depth charges will be made in the shape of egg or ball. The implosion mechanism would be covered by this shape, and it will give it the capacity to submerge quite deep, and destroy any submarine, what is lurking in there.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

   "This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things.  That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries.  "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

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
