Solar Powered Cargo Containers Considered
Is it possible to build solar powered cargo containers that can store enough energy to power up and RFID active chip, which can constantly ping the satellite for tracking? If we use the same small batteries that are used in aircraft emergency locator transmitters or ELTs, with a special cut off switch, which prevents overcharging, then we should be able to track all the cargo containers in the whole world. If a cargo container does not ping the satellite then it will get red flagged and it will be checked when he gets to its next location.Read more…Changing Schools for Changing Students
Across the nation schools are changing at rapid paces. They are changing because the state and federal governments mandate them to; they are changing because the parents in their communities want them to; they are changing because the world needs them to. But after absorbing student opinions and ideas about schools for a week steady, I have a reason why schools need to change: Students have changed.Read more…Can We Launch Things into Space from an Underground Tube?
Jules Verne had discussed briefly a system that would allow one to shoot something into space by using a tube in the earth. And recently a think tank member in an online think tank re-introduced this concept but added a mag levitation system to accelerate it in a long tube in a vacuum and then shoot it into space?Think tank member Joe calls this a Tubes Launch System and states; What about a possible new type of launch system for a ground launch of a space vehicle, built a mag level rail system in side of a vacuum tube long enough to gain high ground speed with the exit set at the proper angle to get craft into flight orbit, here again there are many questions, one would be what would happen to the craft when it exits the vacuum at a very high speed.Read more…Adam King is My Hero
It is dangerous to put student voice on a pedestal. Besides leading to dizziness, it can make students nauseous and suspicious of what you are doing, especially when it requires gaining their support. It can also lead to accusations of romanticization.Read more…An Introduction To Scientific Religion Of The Future
Man knows only that which is perceived directly by his 5 sense organs. The remaining major subtle activities of the subtle world are known to him only because of holy scriptural injunctions and experiences of great saints of the world. This subtle information has not been experienced by majority of world humanity.Read more…Fooling Mosquitoes with Dragonfly Silhouettes?
Mosquitoes often are virus vectors for such things as West Nile Virus and perhaps Bird Flu too, although we do not know that for sure Yet? Is it possible to stop mosquitoes from eating us alive on our front porches with silhouettes of Dragonflies or bats, which are the mosquitoes natural prey? For if they see one they might stay away?Read more…What is New on the Forefront of Science?
If I say that GPS or global positioning system is interesting, I am sure that I will hear the cry," That's been around for 30 years." Well, listen to this. Last year the fastest transistor in the world was discovered at the University of Illinois at a speed of 600 GHz.Read more…It Is Almost Becoming Better Not To Send You Child To School!
I think people automatically think computers when they hear the acronym IT. Of course IT stands for Information technology which encompasses any technology that is used to store, transmit, display and access any form of information be they images, words, etc. Hence a phone is just as much “IT” as a computer.Read more…In The Future: Will We Drive Robots Crazy?

It may not be considered a megayacht in size, but the Trilobis 65, a four level, 20 meter floating object-of-desire would still turn heads at any marina. Gianacarlo Zema Design Group (GZDG) of Rome in collaboration with Canadian company Underwater Vehicles are working hard to have one of these futuristic babies floating soon in a marina near you. This floating luxury home will sleep 6 and is described by the company as "ideal for living in bays, atolls, and maritime parks.Read more…The World's First Spaceport
Sir Richard Branson was looking for a city to launch Virgin Galactic. It would have been cool to be the first city in the world to have the first spaceport to send passengers into space on a regularyly scheduled basis. Since he has a home in Miami, I thought maybe that city had a chance.Read more…Weather Control Impossible; Amazing What Humans Can Be Led to Believe
Today at the highest levels of scientific research in the United States of America there are scientists who actually believe it is impossible to control the weather and it will never happen. This is absolutely out of control.A hundred years ago they said it was impossible to put a man on the moon.Read more…Please Forgive My Existence, But Humans Need Some Assistance
Most people do not wish to face reality or be reminded of things that disturb them. Most humans want things to be better, safer and more efficient but they deny change. Most humans say other humans do not think and yet refuse to think themselves too easily accepting the nightly news as their version of the most relevant observations and thus use it to form their opinions.Read more…Fuel Cell Cars
Fuel Cell cars are the cars of the future. A lot of research has been done with electric cars, but until the battery costs go down, the driving range goes up and the weight of the batteries goes down, this will not be an option for the general public, unlike the popular hybrid cars. A hybrid car has a gas engine and an electric engine.Read more…Extrovert-Introvert On/Off Switch for Artificial Intelligent Robots
Programming personality into an artificially intelligent robotic assistant for the home or office does make a lot of sense because you will be spending much time with this computerized marvel in technology in the future.Obviously, you are going to want a robot or artificially intelligent android to be pleasant and to get along with you, but in order to do this it will be necessary to program the level of interaction and type of personality you prefer.However, other people in your family or at the office may not like the personality you choose and in the beginning these artificially intelligent robotic assistance and androids will be very costly so it will be wise to have adjustable personalities.Read more…What if Humans All Suddenly Lost Sight?
One of the most important senses for the human species is the eyesight, as it is for most species, but what if humans all suddenly lost eyesight at the same time? We know this is possible because machine and Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America are blind. Why you ask?Read more…Vertical Underground Pentagon, Hexagon or Octagon Command Post
Have you ever noticed the excuses we have these days of why we cannot get rid of our enemies nuclear weapons programs? Because they have underground bases where we cannot get them. They are either inside of mountains as in North Korea or they are underground as in the Iranian nuclear weapons program, which threatens to; Blow Israel off the Map!Read more…Future of Coastal Communities; Holding Back The Water
In the future if the oceans rise we should be able to save the coastal communities by building large burms up to the ocean level. We should also be able to have openings, which allow the water to flow to lower levels and this will let us enjoy the current seaside properties along with the real estate, which is actually at the oceans new level.The openings would allow the oceans water to flow down a slope into the lower-level inlets.Read more…Software, which Programs Itself
As we develop better Artificial Intelligence Programs these software programs will learn to program themselves and adapt to various scenarios. In the future software programs will write their own code and they will learn the things and ways of doing things that perhaps their programmers had never considered.Already we have seen artificial intelligence programs, which write their own code and the code that they write is like nothing we have ever seen before.Read more…Building Structure Safety and Molecular Re-Alignment After Core Drilling
It may be possible to prevent mining accidents in the future by using molecular laser realignment technologies directly after drilling the tunnels. How would this work? And what else could it be used for?Read more…
