Abandoned Backpack Alert System for Transportation Assets

We need artificially intelligent video surveillance systems, which can spot and detect packages, which are left unattended at airports, train stations and on buses. How would such a system work? Well it would identify packages,

How on Gods Green Earth Do You Stop A Locust Plague?

Can humans stop locust plagues? Can they stop these devastating swarms of insects from taking out entire years crop yields in minutes. Devastating thousands of square miles of fertile agriculture lands in only a few days? Is there a way?

Do Swarming Insects Use Sound to Aid in Flight?

At least a some researchers believe that Bees use sound especially during swarming to aid in their flight? Could this be possible? One online think tank believes it is and it has been debated and reasoned that the bees are perhaps much more highly evolved than we ever thought possible.

Moon Base Now; What Did We Learn From Apollo?

Some at NASA want to screw around and stretch out the lunar schedule and maybe do something worthwhile by 2020? Why wait? You see the way I see it is that; Time is of the essence. Taking one's time is for weak people and low-tolerance risk takers. Indeed we must press on, not act like a bunch of chickens.

Sound Waves, Bees and Micro-Mechanical Flying Insects

There has been quite a lot of talk about taking sound waves to control organic insects with or even to use to stop locust plagues or steer bee swarms. But the more I look at this the more I want to build a micro-mechanical flying insect rather than screw around destroying the bugs. Then use the sound waves to help keep them aloft.

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.

Look Out; Space Junk 10 O Clock

The future of Space is now upon us as the fledgling space industry gets started. But are humans being smart about what is out there? You see, we have one hell of a lot of Space Junk floating around out there and it is moving very fast as it orbits the Planet.

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?

Flying Underwater UUVs or Small Manned Submarines

Is it possible to build a submarine, which flies? Can we build a small underwater craft with the latest new innovative materials, which is light enough to fly, but strong enough to withstand the pressures of the ocean? Could that be possible? Well one online think tank is considering that very issue and they have come up with a fewer rather intriguing designs for instance; Manta Ray Concept

Will Insects Rule After Humans Become Extinct?

With all this global warming, climate change and climate cliff scares mankind is not sitting in such a wonderful place in the next period as our ancestors of the past period assumed we would be.

The Key to Stopping Killer Bee and Locust Swarms is Understanding How They Work

Have you ever wondered how an insect swarm works? How it maintains flight or how for instance a Locust Plague can be so devastating in such short periods of time and even travel 1000 miles in less than a week? Well one group in an online think tank recently asked these questions. One member stated;

Discussions on Killing Killer Bee Swarms in Flight

To diminish or kill a killer bee swarm in-flight as it is trying to attack a human you have to be careful not to kill the human. And you must understand how insect swarms fly. And so an online think tank began discussing this topic at length. How do these swarms stay aloft?

Swarm Warfare and Quadrant Killing

The revival of swarm tactics in modern warfare is upon us and it makes sense really. Swarming is a natural team defense strategy and it is used in politics, business, sports and war. Overwhelming a market, an opponent, a rival or an enemy with swarm theory can help you achieve victory faster than seemingly possible.
