Was the real "Frankenstein" some kind of robot?


 


Was the real "Frankenstein" some kind of robot?


Sometimes I wonder, was the original "Frankenstein" some kind of robot or automaton? The mechanic robots were made in the 17th century and the thing in those and the 18th century the movements, what those robots could make were very complicated. The man named Jaques de Vaucanson (1709-1782)(1)created many automatons, which could make a complicated series of movements. 


But the thing is that also Leonardo da Vinci created the automaton or robots in the late 15th century. He made the "mechanical knight" around in the year 1495(2). That kind of the machine is less-known inventors, what this famous artist and inventor made. Sometimes I wonder, why this robot is somehow left without mentions in history. "Mechanic Knight" is one of the greatest inventions or at least works of that man, and the world doesn't remember it. 


And one of the things, that the Frankenstein monster could be was the robot or automaton, which may look like a human. So what makes Frankenstein so dangerous? If "Dr. Viktor Frankenstein" was an engineer, who created that kind of system, there is a possibility, that this kind of system could be far more dangerous than the even expected. The thing is that there is a possibility, that the robot, what uses electric power would load its batteries from the mobile power source, which looks like a ball. 


The robot just puts its hands to the places, where are the poles of the battery, and then that electricity would transfer in the battery inside the robot. So what makes this kind of robots so dangerous? The thing is that the electric component, what is known as the rectifier can turn the electricity to turn to another direction, that thing would make it possible to make a robot, which gives powerful electric shocks. 


In the hands of that robot could be small-size Leyden jars, where the electric wires were connected to the radio antennas in the fingers, which would target the lightning to the target. In history, there have been introduced many peculiar ideas about the "magic hands", the hand-looking shields or prosthesis, where the rising movement would turn the switch, and then the electricity would conduct to the radio transmitters, what is making the "evil lightning" of the Emperor in the Star Wars true.  


But the thing is that if we are thinking that the robot will take the plutonium ball in its hands and conduct the electricity to it we might think that this kind of system might be extremely dangerous. This time the thing that we are talking about is mechanic robots. Not robots that are equipped with machine learning concepts. 


Or the entire structure of the robot would be installed highly enriched plutonium or some heavier artificial elements, and then the high voltage electricity will conduct to that radioactive material. This could be the next-generation nuclear weapon. The exploding man, what would walk in the military base and then explode itself in the area.

Can Sci-fi weapons: nanomachines and sophons be a reality someday?

  The grey fog is one of the superweapons that are so horrifying that we cannot even imagine them. That grey fog can erase entire planets. N...
