Writing about "giant birds" and unseen forces on Earth

There are many tales about giant birds, what can eat even human beings. And when we are thinking carefully about the background of those tales, we can see, that some of them might be even true. First thing, what those people might see is Condor, the giant bird from South America. Those birds can be very big, and they can also be dangerous if they are threatened. Another big bird, what might be seen is Haast's Eagle, what killed the giant birds from New Zealand. Sometimes anthropologists have thought that this giant eagle could still live in the far isolated islands at the ocean.  Those eagles had the wingspan about 2,5 meters, what is less than Condor.


But there is another very fascinating explain about those stories. There might be tested some early airships, and when we are talking about aircraft, we might notice, that in American Civil War Southern side planned to build steam engine aircraft. But the motor was too heavy for the planned aircraft, what was the little bit like Wright brothers "Flyer one", what fly at Kitty Hawk 1903. The reason, why Wright brothers succeeded, was that they had the combustion engine, what was light enough to rise the aircraft from the ground.


Sometimes the Argentinian engineer, but there is no documentation of that flight, so the honor of the first flight with heavier than air vehicle belong to Wright brothers. That first attempt to fly with aircraft in the 1860's was ended, because the motor was too heavy, but then somebody claimed, that above the body of that steam-engine aircraft were installed the cigar-shaped gas ball, what would make it first hybrid airship in the world. The airship, what used combustion engines was made by Count Ferdinand Von Zeppelin in 1900, but when the first steam-engine airship was flown is the thing, what is not actually mentioned.


The idea of that device was that normal steam engine airship would take the glider-aircraft near the target, and then the steam engine would help to handle that plane, and give it longer flight radius. But above the text is the very fascinating photo of the cloud, what seems like the bird. Sometimes I have thought that maybe sometimes the birds would get enough electricity, that they can ionize clouds, what can take their form.

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.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments.

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
