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.

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
