Writing about "giant birds" and unseen forces on Earth

There are many tales about giant birds, what can eat even human beings. And when we are thinking carefully about the background of those tales, we can see, that some of them might be even true. First thing, what those people might see is Condor, the giant bird from South America. Those birds can be very big, and they can also be dangerous if they are threatened. Another big bird, what might be seen is Haast's Eagle, what killed the giant birds from New Zealand. Sometimes anthropologists have thought that this giant eagle could still live in the far isolated islands at the ocean.  Those eagles had the wingspan about 2,5 meters, what is less than Condor.


But there is another very fascinating explain about those stories. There might be tested some early airships, and when we are talking about aircraft, we might notice, that in American Civil War Southern side planned to build steam engine aircraft. But the motor was too heavy for the planned aircraft, what was the little bit like Wright brothers "Flyer one", what fly at Kitty Hawk 1903. The reason, why Wright brothers succeeded, was that they had the combustion engine, what was light enough to rise the aircraft from the ground.


Sometimes the Argentinian engineer, but there is no documentation of that flight, so the honor of the first flight with heavier than air vehicle belong to Wright brothers. That first attempt to fly with aircraft in the 1860's was ended, because the motor was too heavy, but then somebody claimed, that above the body of that steam-engine aircraft were installed the cigar-shaped gas ball, what would make it first hybrid airship in the world. The airship, what used combustion engines was made by Count Ferdinand Von Zeppelin in 1900, but when the first steam-engine airship was flown is the thing, what is not actually mentioned.


The idea of that device was that normal steam engine airship would take the glider-aircraft near the target, and then the steam engine would help to handle that plane, and give it longer flight radius. But above the text is the very fascinating photo of the cloud, what seems like the bird. Sometimes I have thought that maybe sometimes the birds would get enough electricity, that they can ionize clouds, what can take their form.

New AI-based operating systems revolutionize drone technology.

"University of Missouri researchers are advancing drone autonomy using AI, focusing on navigation and environmental interaction without GPS reliance. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, AI Unleashed: Revolutionizing Autonomous Drone Navigation) The GPS is an effective navigation system. But the problem is, how to operate that system when somebody jams it? The GPS is a problematic system. Its signal is quite easy to cut. And otherwise, if the enemy gets the GPS systems in their hands, they can get GPS frequencies. That helps to make the jammer algorithms against those drones. The simple GPS is a very vulnerable thing.  Done swarms are effective tools when researchers want to control large areas. The drone swarm's power base is in a non-centralized calculation methodology. In that model, drones share their CPU power with other swarm members. This structure allows us to drive complicated AI-based solutions. And in drone swarms, the swarm operates as an entirety. That ca...

Hydrogen is one of the most promising aircraft fuels.

Aircraft can use hydrogen in fuel cells. Fuel cells can give electricity to the electric engines that rotate propellers. Or they can give electricity to electric jet engines. In electric jet engines. Electric arcs heat air, and the expansion of air or some propellant pushes aircraft forward. Or, the aircraft can use hydrogen in its turbines or some more exotic engines like ramjets. Aircraft companies like Airbus and some other aircraft manufacturers test hydrogen as the turbine fuel.  Hydrogen is one of the most interesting fuels for next-generation aircraft that travel faster than ever. Hydrogen fuel is the key element in the new scramjet and ramjet-driven aircraft. Futuristic hypersonic systems can reach speeds over Mach 20.  Today the safe top speed of those aircraft that use air-breathe hypersonic aircraft is about Mach 5-6.   Hydrogen is easy to get, and the way to produce hydrogen determines how ecological that fuel can be. The electrolytic systems require elec...

The neuroscientists get a new tool, the 1400 terabyte model of human brains.

"Six layers of excitatory neurons color-coded by depth. Credit: Google Research and Lichtman Lab" (SciteechDaily, Harvard and Google Neuroscience Breakthrough: Intricately Detailed 1,400 Terabyte 3D Brain Map) Harvard and Google created the first comprehensive model of human brains. The new computer model consists of 1400 terabytes of data. That thing would be the model. That consists comprehensive dataset about axons and their connections. And that model is the path to the new models or the human brain's digital twins.  The digital twin of human brains can mean the AI-based digital model. That consists of data about the blood vessels and neural connections. However, the more advanced models can simulate electric and chemical interactions in the human brain.  This project was impossible without AI. That can collect the dataset for that model. The human brain is one of the most complicated structures and interactions between neurotransmitters, axons, and the electrochemica...
