The 74 meters hydrogen-powered hydrofoil yacht creates 15 000 hp.

 The new Plectrum superyacht uses hydrogen turbines and its engines are creating 15 000 hp. That thing makes the 74-meter hydrofoil yacht travel over the sea at a speed of 140 km/h. That kind of yacht is technically interesting in many ways. The hydrogen turbines can use hydrogen, which is possible to create in the yacht. There are many ways to create that hydrogen. And one of them is the capillary tube that can fall in depth. And that thing makes it possible to create hydrogen by using a dynamo. That thing takes time, and maybe the electricity for electrolysis is easier to take from the ground or the yacht's diesel engines. 

There is also the possibility that in the future yachts can use Fletnner-turbines for making hydrogen, and that system can make driving with this kind of vehicle free. The water statue that can be driven to the Flettner turbine from below the craft can make this turbine independent from the winds. And green energy is always interesting especially if it can decrease pollution and give the vehicle ultimate power. 












Flying submarines are always interesting. There are already drones that can operate underwater. But the full-scale models that are manned subs, with a length of about 50-70 m. could be interesting. Modern technology and modern materials would turn the old dream into truth. 

There is the possibility that flying submarines are possible sooner than we even can imagine. If we think of the Plectrum, there is the possibility to make the Super U-boat that can submerge, drive on its hydrofoils, and even fly. From the 1930s to the 1950's the Soviets and the USA tried to create flying submarines.

But in that case, technology was not advanced enough that those systems can turn realistic. The speed of those systems was not very good. And 2 knots of speed underwater caused those systems to be unable to operate. But by using modern technology the "flying super-U-boats could turn to reality. 

Sometimes the U.S. version is planned to wake by using MHD (magnetohydrodynamic drive)technology. The engine of the V-1- (Flying Bomb) style miniature submarine will equip with MHD technology. And that allows the miniature sub to move very fast and silently.

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
