Superconductor highways can carry people, energy, and cargo at 400 Miles per hour.

In superconductor highways, the cables and magnets are superconducting. The system uses magnetic levitation for transporting vehicles from one place to another. The highway can have solar panel-cover that decrease its energy use. 

Superconductor highways that transport vehicles using magnetic levitation are not a new idea. Magnetic levitation (Maglev) is already in use in some railroads. The magnetic levitating highway moves cars by using magnetic levitation. So that type of superhighway can offer a more flexible solution than Maglev trains. The idea is that in long distances. The system transports cars by using magnetic levitation. And when cars will separate from that intelligent highway, they start to use their internal power sources.

The idea of magnetic levitation systems is always the same. The idea is that the platform is the thing, that moves vehicles above it by using similar technology that is used in rail guns. The magnetic levitation superhighways also can transport energy and information. The idea is that the same network that levitates objects can carry electricity and information. And turning the electric network to superconducting decreases the power loss due to resistance. That decreases the use of fuel in power plants.

The magnet-loop will be the most interesting idea in transportation. 

The system where the magnetic levitation highway plays the main role can connect with magnetic trains that travel in vacuum tubes. In that system, the superconductor highways are used for medium-range transportation. And long-distance transportation made by using super- or hypersonic trains. Those futuristic trains travel in a vacuum tube that can be used even for intercontinental travel.  In those models, the tubes are pulled underwater through the ocean. 



Those hyper-fast train systems travel in a vacuum. And there, they can easily reach super-or hypersonic speed. 

Magnetic levitation can use in futuristic trains. The Hyperloop is the system where low pressure pulls the train forward. The train will levitate in the tube by using magnetic levitation. But the magnet-loop is the most futuristic version of the hyperloop. In the magnet loop, the magnetic field transports the train in the vacuum tunnel. And actually, that system is similar to particle accelerators. The fact is that this kind of system can be faster than any aircraft in the world. 

There is no resistance in the vacuum, and the magnetic system can transport the train at a speed unable to reach other places. The magnetic train can accelerate vehicles to so high speed that they can travel to Earth orbiter if they are shot in the right angle. So that thing can make it possible to create the train that transports people to the moon. 



And of course, the futuristic thought for the day...


Or actually, the train that travels in a particle accelerator can make time travel possible. That train's speed could be so high that it makes the time dilation possible. 

When we think about the motivation for making megastructures like Ringworld, Alderson disks and Dyson's spheres the futuristic civilization can use those things as particle accelerators or even time machines. 

The time machine would be a series of solar-powered particle accelerators that get energy from their star. The system might be the tool that the hypothetical civilization uses for supercomputing. The computer will be put in the capsule, and then the accelerator starts to dilate time in that capsule by moving it extremely fast. 

That thing gives computers more time to make their process. And that thing could be one motivation for making the superstructures that take all energy from the civilization. .

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
