3D-printers might use for weapons production


(Picture 1)

3D-printers can risk the national security because the production of weapons like assault rifles is now easier than ever before. By using modern cheap 3D-scanning technology, everybody who wants can scan the parts of personal assault rifle and ammunition in the army, and send those files to the friends of this person. And if those “friends” have access to the 3D-printers, what is able to make metal parts, would the result be that some MC-gang makes their garages the weapon factory, where they make assault weapons.


Also, cartridges and magazines of those weapons can be made by using 3D-printers. That is the very big risk for public security. The problem with 3D-printers is that they are free to buy. The 3D-printing technology can also connect to the MIG-welding machine. The 3D-printers what have the capacity to produce metal parts are actually modified MIG-welding machines. This makes possible to make metal parts for cars, bicycles, and weapons. This is the way, how violent gangs could get powerful assault weapons in their hands.


And this is very big risk in all areas. With 3D-printers could terrorists make new weapons like assault rifles and mortars. This technology allows also to product ammunition to those weapons. This would make criminal organizations more deadly than ever before. 3D- production technology makes access to the weapons like multi-barrel Gatling guns, what they ever get their hands before. Also, some teenager can produce own M-203 assault rifle with 3D-printers. This is very strong threat to national security in all countries. And this means that officials must realize how dangerous those weapons can be in wrong hands.

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
