Critical about Justin Scott's book "The man who loved the Normandie"

This is the writing about the book, what is made by the writer, who is not so well known. "The man who loved the Normandie" is the book about the agents, who fought in the New York, and other was German code-named "Otter" and other was Military Architect. The frame is that super-passenger ship "Normandie" was burned in the harbor of New York, and Agent code-named "Otter" wanted to make the base for midget submarine in the wreck. I sometimes have thought that this "Otter" have mistakenly translated from German world "Seehund", what means "Otter", but the names are normally the thing, what is not translated.


But this is the thing, what makes this book a little bit unbelievable. If that "Otter" wanted to sabotage those ships, what was left from New York to Europe, must this man only use the combat scuba-diving technologies, and put the mines under the ships bottoms. When we are thinking about the thing, that could be useful in those raids, that could be the underwater tank, what would be equipped with the pressure system, that would keep the water out from inside of that device, where those agents would store their equipment like mines, and where they could hide after the missions.


And the hatch to the tank must be bottom because that makes traffic in and out from that diving bell possible. The equipment what those operators would need could be brought by submarines and store in that underwater station. The air could be kept clean by throwing it thru the active carbon filters. That kind of underwater station can be very simple to build. And the reason, why I write about this is that the most advanced things are actually quite simple. When we are thinking about the small size scuba-diving equipment, we do not normally think about one of the most advanced and unique inventions.


That is small size breathing equipment, that is called the "Draeger's lung". The steel cylinder is filled with the rubber ball and to the tube of that thing is installed the active carbon filter, what would help to keep air able to breathe. Inside that system can be the small electric motor, that uses the piston, what helps the ball surge and dwarf. That happens because the steel cylinder is a room for air, and when the piston moves upside down in the cylinder it would cause the breath.


Sometimes there are plannings, that that equipment has been used in tests of PFC (Poly Fluoride Carbonate) breathing system, where the lungs are filled with liquid PFC-chemical. The oxygen can be transformed to that chemical from the water by artificial gills. That system could be used like conventional scuba diving equipment, but it can be installed to the thorax surgically. That thing allows the diver to live under the sea as long he wants.


Of course, this is the very interesting theory, but those men would not need to eat raw fish, because the scuba-diver could use underwater torches for cooking fishes and vegetables at the bottom of the ocean. But who would actually allow putting that kind equipment surgically to the body? Of course to the throat could be put the vent, what allows those men to breathe in the dry land. This writing is only fiction and please don't take it seriously.

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
