What can we do with the third arm?

U.S military test third arm for the soldiers, that they could carry dun in the certain point, and in same time read maps or climb on the walls etc. This kind of hands can be made as the carrying systems, and there are no electronics inside them. But those extra arms can also equip with the hydraulic system, what is connected to the computer, and this hydraulic arm can also be used with HULC-exoskeleton, what means robots, what are connected to the human body.

The mission of those robots or hydraulic systems is give the soldiers or other persons more strength, and those systems can be flexible in the many missions. The hydraulic systems are normally heavy and difficult to carry, but if they are connected to the exoskeleton system would they be suitable for many things. In the visions, this kind of robot arms is connected to the smart rifles and the action cameras, what are equipped with infrared systems. In this case, the robot arm can also shoot automatically the targets, what are looking like enemies.

If the person, who is in the firing range is armed and don't send the friendly IFF (Identification Friend or Foe)-signal, that thing would exterminate the target immediately. The exoskeletons and active robot hands allow the person laying down from the helicopter, and shoot the sharp fire at the same time. The idea of the system would be that there is multiple cameras on the helmet, what mission is to locate the enemy, and then this robot manipulator will shoot those targets.

And it can increase its length and shoot at the same time when the soldier sits on the break, and the electronic systems would keep guard in that time. That kind of semi-autonomous systems might be true on the battlefield in the future. And this would be the biggest revolution in the military world since the invention of the magazine rifle. This is only one thing, what the third arm would do, and the system would have also civilian solutions. But this would be the military model of the future.

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
