The future of the manual transmission

The manual gearbox is the thing, what has been used in the automobiles for many years. Professional drivers on the racetracks and transport business are flagged for years that the manual gearbox is the best in the business. But the problem of this type of transmission are people, who are driving using too small gear, and that causes the increasing of fuel consumption. The myth of the highest consumption automatic gearboxes can be tracked from the big size American V-8 cars from the 1960's.

The manual gearbox is more economic than automatic gear if the person is an experienced driver, who knows how to change the gear in the right speed, and in that case, the manual gearbox is more economic than the automatic gearbox. And in the trucking the gears, what is used in the transmission must be so hard and massive, that the analogic automatic gearbox systems don't operate with heavy duty trucks.

But when we are thinking about electronic equipment and the gearboxes, we might think the very simple-looking advantage for manual gearboxes. If the robot hand would be connected to the manual gearbox, and the clutch would also be operated by using computer-controlled hydraulics. In this case, the computer can change the precise right gear in the gearbox, what fits the weather and other conditions.

If the system would be connected to the GPS, the fuel injection of the motor can be fixed that it fixes the driving speed for the speed limits. This system can communicate with the traffic control system, and it can flex also with temporary speed limits, and advice the driver by the best and fastest roads to the goal by using HUD system, what is connected to the windshield. In this case, the driver would drive the car, and the computerized systems are only meant for supporting the driver.

And the system must equip with the switcher, what will stop driving immediately if there are malfunctions. When we are thinking about the robot cars, what are made for self-driving, we must understand, that those cars are only at the test level, and that means, the driver must always be ready to take control in that car and follow the traffic.

In this case, we must notice, that the robot cars, what is not made perfectly can be more dangerous than normal cars because if the driver takes little sleep, reads the newspaper or plays with the computer during the drive, would that thing cause the accident. And in the case, that driver would sleep behind the steering wheel, would car drive in kilometers before the crash. And it would not probably stop or press break if something is ahead of it. So if the technology is not working perfectly, could that cause more damages, than ever before.

Writing about the dangers of a new kind of technology, what is used in drones

Below this text is two links to the videos, where is presented the drones, what are made for military and civilian purposes. In fact, some of those miniature air vehicles are made for toys, and the technology, what is used in them, can be used also for the wrong purposes. Even the modern toys can operate independently, and they can risk the security and privacy in the houses if they are misused. The moving trajectories of those drones can be pre programmed, and if somebody wants, those drones can fly across the houses and photograph every flat, where they can see inside.


And those things can be used as the surveillance drones as well as the drones, what are made for that purpose. But when we are thinking about the miniature drones use for strike purposes, some of them might simply drop the transmitter on the tanks or some other target, and the guided bomb or missile would follow that transmitter. Those miniature drones can also equip with the electric system, what would shoot 338. caliber magnum ammunition to the target, where the very small "Black Hornet" drones would target them. In this case, the ammunition would put outside the drone helicopter like missiles.


And then the operator would shoot them with remote control. The ammunition would be launched with induction spark, what makes this thing the smallest combat vehicle in the world, and the use of those systems might be like the extended high-tech sniper rifle, and if this helicopter would be the little bit bigger, there could be installed the automatic pistol with it. This kind of tools would be perfect with anti-sniper and assassination missions.


They can be delivered to the operation area by aircraft or even by satellite. In the last case, the drone would be put in the saucer-shaped tank, what is used with space probes, and dropped into the atmosphere. Those drones can be equipped with normal assault weapons, but they can use also centrifugal rifles or lasers. The first one is actually the modified angle grinder, where is installed the rotating table.


The steel balls would be feed on this surface, and they would get very high speed, and those things can be extremely lethal. Aiming of those weapons is easy, and the only thing, what is needed is one hole in the core of that weapon. The speed of the metal balls would be the same as the rotating speed of that metal table. And the second one, the laser could be the standard metal cutting tool, what could be targeted to the ammo shack. That kind of weapons is extremely dangerous. Those lasers would explode the explosives of the ammunition. The metal cutting lasers could make deep burn injuries, what is more, lethal than any bullet can be.
