Bees Use Sound to Assist in Swarming Flight

There is a theory floating around out there that in fact Bees use sound waves during swarming and perhaps during normal single insect flight to help with the aerodynamics of their endeavors? Some say this cannot be, yet it surely can as a lot can happen in 400 million years of evolution and Bees have shorter life cycles so consider the possibilities?

Trusting Your Physics Instructor

Can you trust your physics instructor? Yes for the most part you can sure, but. It appears to me we cannot trust physics instructors in every regard. Too many theories being purported and mathematically calculated with proofs, only years later to find out they were are wrong.

Bee Colonies and Scouts

Everyone in a Bee Colony has a specific job, which they are physically made for. When bees swarm they work together as a team and these little creatures can take down huge animals. How do they do it and who decides?

Hopping Robots, Spheres and Haptic Review of Robotic Space Concepts

We need more space robotic exploration units to help us explore other worlds. One interesting concept is to build beach ball size robotic exploratory units to work in packs or swarms on the surface of a planet or in the more dense areas of a gas planet.

Recycling Space Junk and Debris

Well here we are in the year 2006 and what do we have? We have humans polluting space? That’s right we have space junk. We have old debris floating around out there and it is a dangerous thing. We need to get this stuff out of the way and also collect some of this debris to recycle?

Exercise Bikes in the Space Colony Stations or Long-Term Space Flight

A proposal has been circulated in an online think tank to put stationary bicycles, which charge batteries about spacecraft, in space colonies and on space bases. One think tanker critical of this idea says...

Swarm Bubble Theory Strategies for Micro-MAVs

What if we could build miniature insect size micro-mechanical devices, which could mimic the flight characteristics of insects and fly around just like they could? Is it possible to copy, or even better some 400 million years of evolution in order to built the ultimate spy weapon?

Components of Sound Energy in Killer Bee Swarms

In observing Killer Bee Swarms it appears that the Bees produce a buzzing sound and during this sound they confuse their targets and then quickly move to overwhelm them. What is fascinating about this is that the buzzing for the most part comes from the wings when bees swarm

Interfering With Killer Bee Swarms Using Harmonic Methods

Is it possible to find a way to stop a killer bee swarm by using a direction sound weapon and just the right harmonic to cause the wing and its buzzing to stop or disrupt its rhythm? If so wouldn’t the swarm dissipate and collapse along with the individual bee’s wings?

Human Powered Space Craft? No Way!

Well the nut cases are out in full force I thought when I read someone on an online think tank state that we should put stationary bicycles in space craft and use the energy to charge the batteries or at least keep them topped off?

Locust Plague Defense; Hanging Zap Net from Cargo Plane

For those who have sat and watched in horror as a Locust Plague came over head in a dark cloud of solid insects thundering across the landscape; they know the devastation that takes place as an entire seasons crop can be gone in a matter of minutes.

Weather Satellite Data Needed if We Are to Ever Control The Weather

Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to control the Earth Weather systems to prevent flooding and adequate rainfall for crops? What if we could lessen the Typhoon and Hurricane Seasons? Can you imagine what a gift that

Illegal Immigration; What Can We Do About It?

Some say that the people coming over our border are just trying to build a better life? Well not all of them, some come to join gangs, sell drugs or steal cars.

Single Mission UAVs for the Battlespace; What is the Payload?

What is a single mission UAV anyway? Well it is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle that does not normally come back once it is launched by its self or in a swarm of other units. Think of it a model airplane missile. It is the weapon like a suicide mission model aircraft kamikaze.
