The laser-crossbow might be very good idea, but this might stay in level of idea for a long time

When we are playing the computer games, we will see the most incredible weapons, what man can ever imagine. One of the most exotic ideas of the laser-weapons is the mixture of a medieval bow and the laser gun. When we will first look at this weapon, we must think that the creator of that mixture is insane. But if the thinker has the engineers way of creating products, might somebody think that this kind of thing is not bad at all.


The reason for mixing the bow and laser might be, that the laser system is equipped with hand use generators, what will give electric power to that system. If the laser is equipped two electric generators, the user might reload the batteries of that weapon by pulling the bowstring, and this movement will rotate the generators inside this weapon.


That’s why the laser, what fictional Chewie uses in Star Wars might be not bad at all. The bow’s structure will eliminate the overheating of the system, and because this weapon could rearm without outer electric supply, and because this kind of laser has limitless firepower, that might be interested in the real world military men.


But this kind of weapons has one security problem. They need no outer electricity, and that’s why the weapon what creates it ammunition inside their core are far more dangerous than any other weapons. The number of bullets or number of shots is normally limited by the number of bullets, but this kind of weapon what creates it supply power with the internal generator, so there will be no limit for shots. The generators must do like the rotating speed is so fast as possible, and then it can give power supply for that laser.

Saturnian Mimas moon have been inspired the Death Star for Star Wars movies

Some people have a great imagination, and George Lucas or who created a Death Star, a famous part of movie Star Wars, used Saturnian icy moon Mimas as a model of that battle station. But did you know that from that model is created a model of the real model of the space station, what might be done sometime in a distant future? In that model, a space station or spacecraft will be empty ball called "Dyson's sphere".  The ball itself would be made a plastic called mylar.  In this scenario, that mylar space station will be sent to space with rocket and if will fill with gas. In the wildest dreams, those ball-shaped space stations might have even full-scale cities inside them.

After that inside of that ball will cover by the net, where builders can inject concrete, where all of those buildings will be made. The idea itself is very old and it worked in 1960's in ECHO-satellites. Those satellites balloons which bigger one's diameter was 32 meters. That giant balloon sent to space and blew full size after it left from the atmosphere. That satellite opened secrets of the Soviet union communication in early 1960's.

The size of that ball was very large if that compiles with Apollo spacecraft. Some of the architects think that kind of ball can be used as a space station. In the inner core of the balloon will build normal houses, where the crew can live like people lives in the Earth. But the outer core of balloon will cover with ice because it's very easy to replace if meteors will harm it. And against cosmical radiation would be used thin gold coating what absorbed cosmic radiation.  That kind of space stations was in some NASA:s members minds in 1960's. 


That kind of space station would be easy to build and sent to space with rockets. Airlocks can be installed to that ball quite easily. In theory of course. And after that NASA would have ball shape space station for their missions.  When that ball rolls around that makes artificial gravity with centrifugal force, and that allows personnel of that station live almost normal life at the space. 


But when we return back to Death Star, we might imagine what kind of space weapon can destroy the even entire planet. The weapon what that space station might use will be ion cannon, what uses antimatter. Antimatter-ions will shoot in the central point of the planet, and the magnetic field will stop them in there. Antimatter-ions will pass material like normal ions without any reactions. But when magnetic field stops them inside planets central point, they will explode nucleus of the planet, and shockwaves what comes up from lithosphere will destroy the entire planet. 

New autonomous task units are entering service.
