Electric powered aircraft is one of the excellent innovations in the aviation.


Kimmo Huosionmaa

Electric powered aircraft are silent and capable to make the "flying cars", what actually means low prize and sophisticated aerial vehicles possible, and it might have also many other useful possibilities. The electric motors must be powerful, and that limits the operational time. But if the vehicle would be hybrid, this might make it capable to operate in the city area, without disturbing people. In this case, the electric engines are used in lift-off and landings, but when batteries are turning low, the system would start the combustion engine. Of course, the batteries can charge from any socket, what is found, but combustion engines allow to load batteries while the system is airborne.


This allows to flight in the longer periods than pure electric engines allow. There is one possibility to make the clean electric engine aircraft what is lightweight and silent. The fuel cells can be used for creating the electric power to those systems, and if they would use hydrogen as the fuel, there would not be pollution. The term "flying car" means actually the low-prize VTOL-capable (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aerial vehicles, what can also use as a car, that means that they can be driven on highways. Some of those flying cars are looking like cars, but some of the shapes are more aircraft looking.


Those vehicles are tested by many car and aircraft factories, and the military and civil operators have planned them the great role for many purposes. The techniques that are used to produce them can also apply to the normal aircraft. And in many cases, those flying cars are actually very fast in comparison with the normal helicopter, because they are using blower technology, what makes them very fast. That solution, where the engines and propels are putting inside the tube, makes this solution silent and allows the high rotating speed of propels.

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
