The Tale of Lionel "Buster" Crabb continues (Man who vanished in Portsmouth 1956)


Lionel Crabb
(1909-1956)


Kimmo Huosionmaa

On the Internet is a tale about Lionel Crabb, who vanished probably during the spy mission at the Portsmouth harbor. And in some sources are mentioned that during the Second World War this man used captured Italian scuba-diving equipment during his missions during the war. In that case, we must ask the question, why Crabb used Italian suit rather than the British scuba-diving suit. Here we must ask one question: Why Italian scuba-diving suit is sometimes better than the British version?


if we would use our imaginations, we can find out the reason, why the person like Crabb liked that suit. But this scenario is something strange and that is the real imaginational thought, that maybe Crabb was actually some commando or agent, and that was this man used Italian scuba-diving suit. The reason, why some agent would like that Italian suit would be really well seen, but the question is that why some agent would do this kind of actions, where that things are useful?


There are some technical details, what is different in Italian scuba-diving than British version in the Second World War. One of them is that Italian scuba-diving suit has the removable hood, what allowed to use this suit under the normal clothes that nobody noticed that. Also, Italian scuba-diving suit would allow the agents to slip in the Italian submarines. But there is no evidence that British have made that kind of actions.


One of the most important questions about this case is, that why Crabb allowed to use that special suit? And was something, what happened in the war cause the death of that man? What could be the reason, why Lionel Crabb was murdered in the Portsmouth, or where he vanished? Was there something, what he didn't want other people to know?  If Crabb took part in some secret elimination missions, the papers of those missions would be destroyed after the Second World War.


And who was targeted in those speculative operations? The scuba diving suit and equipment can be used in the storm water drain system of the city, and the scuba divers can slip in the cellars of the houses. And if Lionel Crabb and his fellows would like to murder Adolph Hitler in the fictional operation, they could slip in the Berlin by using rivers, and then they must slip in the water drains, and after that find the bunker, and explode the hole in the wall and shoot everybody.  But this is of course fiction.


The scuba-diver can swim to the beach and then slip into the operation area and do the mission like photographing the equipment or put the explosives in some ammo dumps. They also can use rats, what are trained to find the explosives, and then explode the detonator, what is in the bag of that animal. If the explosive detonates in the middle of ammunition storage, the all explosives in that are place can explode. Scuba-divers can also use sniper rifles against targets. If Crabb took a part of those operations is of course lost in history. And maybe only Lionel Crabb knows the real reason, why he vanished.

The new 3D printers are coin-size systems.

"The tiny device could enable a user to rapidly create customized, low-cost objects on the go, like a fastener to repair a wobbly bicycle wheel or a component for a critical medical operation. Credit: Sampson Wilcox, RLE" (Scitech, Tiny Titan: MIT’s Revolutionary Coin-Sized 3D Printer Fits in Your Pocket) Researchers created a 3D printer that is coin-size. That kind of printer can create things like microchips. But it's possible. Those tiny 3D printers can also work in extremely large-size projects. In simplest models, the 3D printers are positioned on tracks. The 3D printer itself is the tool, that can be part of the modular production systems.  There are visions of high-temperature metal printers installed on the gantry cranes. That makes those crane printers that can make even ship-size things. The crane that the printer controls can move back and forth and the printer can move horizontally. This kind of thing can turn the crane into a high-temperature 3D printer, that

Quantum computers and ultra-fast photonic microchips can danger even the most secure communication.

"Quantum computers could pose a major security risk to current communication systems in 12-15 years with their exponentially greater speed and code-breaking ability. (ScitechDaily, Today’s Most-Secure Communications Threatened by Future Quantum Computers) Quantum computers can break entire binary cryptography. And that makes all communication unsecured. That is one of the greatest threats in quantum computing. And this brings the arms race to the quantum age. The quantum computer can create codes that any binary computer can break. But the quantum computer can also break old-fashioned codes. And that makes it an ultimate weapon and sabotage tool.   Quantum computers can change the measurements of the ammunition in factories by changing the system calibration. Or it can delete databases from the opponent's computer systems. This thing can delete all SIM cards from mobile telephones. In peacetime, the hackers that operate using quantum systems can steal the names of the counter-

Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.

  "ZEROe teams powered on the iron pod, the future hydrogen-propulsion system designed for Airbus’ electric concept aircraft." (Intersting Engineering, Airbus's ZEROe: First engine fuel cell powers up for hydrogen flight) Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.  Airbus Zero is a testbed for fuel cells that are used in commercial aircraft. The problem with aircraft is always noise and pollution. If the aircraft uses electric engines. That decreases noise levels and cleans the air, especially around airfields. Lightweight solar panels that can be installed on the wings and body of aircraft can give electricity to electric engines. And they can extend an aircraft's operational range.   The thing that makes this kind of system interesting is that the "flying cars" or cheap VTOL aircraft can use them as a power source. The hydrogen power cells can give energy to electric aircraft at night time. And that makes them m
