Never leave children or animals in the car, when the weather is hot

(Picture I) https://kirjabloggaus.blogspot.com/ Kimmo Huosionmaa Hot weather is extremely dangerous for every person, and this causes sometimes that even children are forgotten in the car. And those sad accidents are headlights in the news. There is one thing, what is interesting, how people can forget children in the car? Are they so unseen, that parents don't even notice them? If the weather is hot, and people must drink all the time, why those children would leave in the car alone, and the same question is about pets. When we are thinking that news, where children have left alone in the car without water or protection, we must, of course, understand that loss of the child is the bad thing. But that thing is very serious, and if the children would not want to go to the shopping center, why some adult would not leave with them? Is it easier to read about that sad news where children would leave in the car and they have died or got injuries from the Internet? If the ...

Forgotten solution for automobiles: Steam car

Steam car (Pinterest)  https://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/ Kimmo Huosionmaa There is one solution from the past, what might be interested some techno-freaks. That thing is the car, what uses steam engines. The idea of steam-engine cars is, that it uses the steam engine and the problem is, that it was complicated to use, and the gasoline motor replaced it, when Karl Bentz and Gottlieb Daimler made the first car, what used combustion engine.  Steam cars had the oven on the right side and the passenger must put the wood to the oven when the car was in use. There was one thing, what made the steam car able to compete with the combustion car in the early years of the automobile, and that was the ability to use wood as the fuel, but when petroleum stations became common, steam cars remained in history.  When we are talking with the piston-engine steam cars, they were complicated to use, because the pressure in the system must be raised, before the c...

Writing about haunted cars

GAZ Volga (Picture 1) Kimmo Huosionmaa There are many stories about haunted cars, what are told to travel around the road alone. And those vehicles would cause accidents and even deaths. Here I must say that many of those stories are from the Eastern Europe, and there might be something true behind those stories. The thing what causes the stories of ”haunted cars” like ”Black Volga” or ”Ghost Tschaika” were born, because those vehicles were reserved for the official use of the secret police and the leaders of the state. When we are thinking about the situation, that some traffic police would stop the personal car of Joseph Stalin,  that would mean death for that police officer. And the same reason there is a story of ”Ghost Cadillac” in Finland. Here I must say, that this particular story doesn't involve mysterious deaths or anything like that. It tells the story of Black Cadillac, what has caused the traumatic situation for some policemen. And here I remember that th...

Could the car of tomorrow change their shape like the amoeba?

(Picture 1) Kimmo Huosionmaa Some ideas of the nano-technology seem like SciFi, and they look like "too technical". But we must remember, that yesterday's SciFi is today's reality. And when we are talking about the nano-dough, what could take any form, what it wants, we must remember, that there is only the very large mass of those tiny artificial molecules needed, when they could take the shape of the big object. But maybe some days of the future, that thing could be possible. In that mass would be tiny nano-sized microprocessors, what would control that dough, and they might have the capacity for using artificial intelligence to control that artificial amoeba. The nanotechnology makes very many advantages for every product in the world. When we are looking at the opportunities of that technology, we even cannot imagine how wonderful, effective and frightening is this new material-technology, what can revolutionize almost everything in the world. At tom...
