Ion technology and supercomputing

Ion technology and supercomputing

The biggest problem is re-assemble the particles.

Teleportation is the basic simple thing. The person or object that wanted to transfer to another place just turn to the ion cloud, what will shoot to the target, and then the ions must take the same place in the structure, where they were before this process. And the re-assembling the object is the biggest problem, but if we could someday make the ion cannon, what can shoot ions to the certain place by using necessary precision, we could maybe in someday make this thing true.

The thing, what makes this technology very difficult to make is that the magnet field must stop each ion in the precise place. That thing would make possible to transfer objects through the wall if we could create the magnets, what can stop each ion in separately in the right position. There is a little different if we would have able to transfer things like screwdrivers by using ion transfer, to using living organisms by using that technology.

Transferring data by using very cold ions.

In fact, we could store the data to the very cold ions, and then shoot those ions through walls, and this technology will be used in the quantum computers. In this case, the quantum computer would transfer the information by using some kind of ion cannon, which will have the capacity to shoot many ions in the same direction in the same line, and the storage of information would acting like some crystals, what can store the data in the certain form, but that would cause the need the temperature, what is near the absolute zero point.

There is also planned to use so-called nano-size crystals for information storage, and then those tiny diamonds would fly across the microcircuit, and in theory, this system would be very easy to create, but there are many practical problems in the real-life solutions. The diamonds or quartz crystals would have the ability to store information at a very low temperature.

And if we would want to use those crystals for sending information we must just throw them to target, where the oscillation would transfer to data. But this method is a little bit clumsy for real-life use, but this is an only theoretical way to create the computer, which could be very effective if it would work. The thing is that sometimes the oscillation is planned to store in the liquid Helium.

The needed temperature is near zero Kelvin

Or actually the superfluid, what is ionized, and then the ion cannon would shoot that very cold liquid in the microchip, or in theory, regular pumps would allow transferring the superfluid in the tubes, what is connected to the sensors, where the data would be released. This kind of versions are only thoughts, what kind of computers we could make in the day of tomorrow, and as I have many times written in the future, we might send he supercomputers to space far away from the Earth. In fact, places like the Kuiper belt is offering a very interesting place for supercomputers, what should be in the superconducting condition.

Of course, those computers can be installed many RTG-generators, but there is a possibility to use nuclear reactors. If we would send that kind of computer to the moons, where is the volcanic temperature, those systems could use geothermal energy. In this case, the liquid gas, what might be liquid nitrogen or methane can rotate the turbines as well as water, and if we would have human-shaped robots in use, those robots can use the artificial intelligence to assemble the computer in the distance, and in this scenario, those bases would be unmanned.

Robots can use to assembly the superconducting computers on the icy moons of the Neptune and Pluto in the future. 

The robots will be programmed to assemble the base by using virtual reality, where the robots would teach to use the tools and put the microcircuits in a certain place. And in practice, this thing would happen that the assemblers would use data gloves and data suits in the assembly, and those actions will be recorded to those robots.

In this futuristic case, the problem is that those robots must also know if the microchips are installed properly, and act in the right way if they drop the screwdriver. The tools and microchips can equip with RFID-systems, what would tell which place they should be installed and when the microcircuit in the properly installed. The radio transmitter would tell that to those robots, what must operate independently in the distance, where the radio transmitting would take many hours to reach those robots.

That kind of robots must use advanced telemetry and network for those processes. But if some case would feel too difficult, the robots would ask the assistance from the command center, what will send the instructions like movement tracks to the robots, what might operate in the surface of some icy moon.

Modern hybrid airships are looking like UFO:s

Airships can be really fast if they are made by using modern materials. 

Many people think that airships are always slow and easy to damage, but this thing is not actually true. The modern materials like carbon fibers and other things can allow creating the modern hybrid airship, which would be a very interesting tool for the research and intelligence missions. The thing is that the carbon-fiber layers would allow creating the concept, what would be revolutionary.

 In history, there were planned to create the hybrid airship, what would be launched from the submarine torpedo tubes, and those miniature zeppelins would able to search the enemy territory. One thing about the structure of those things would be that the instrument gondola and the motors would be like they would be pulled in during the carrying, and they can be released from the submarines.

Inside that body would be symmetrical ball-shaped tanks for hydrogen, and those carbon fiber balls allow that the airship can fly extremely high altitude. But is there a possibility, that the airship can fly supersonic. When we are thinking about the hybrid airship, that would be equipped with the rocket or even the ramjet or scramjet engine, that cigar-shaped hybrid airship can fly in the supersonic or hypersonic speed.

The airship-type structure would allow the interplanetary travel

The thing is that on the back of the airship would be the small rocket engine and the sides of that will be the propellers, what would make electricity for the systems of that futuristic airship. I once read one very interesting article about the big size interplanetary spacecraft, which would have the shape like Zeppelin. During the space trip that device and the gas tank would operate as the cabin, that would give the space for the crew.

And when that spacecraft would close the planet or its target the main cabin can be filled with water, and then the system would separate the hydrogen from oxygen by using electrolyze. That would allow creating the very big and fast spacecraft, what can operate in the atmosphere of some planet.

That kind of structures allows use the green energy, and if the capillary tube would be dropped to the lower atmosphere of the planet, that tube can suck the gas through the motor, what would allow very long term operating in the atmosphere of that planet. This kind of systems would be created for the HAVOC and another kind of concepts.

HAVOC (High Altitude Venus Operational Concept) can be manned or unmanned

There are two versions of the systems like HAVOC. Another thing would be manned concept, but the more interesting in the point of view of research would be sending the artificial intelligent HAVOC concept to research the atmosphere of the Venus planet. That concept might have sub-drones, what it can send to collect the samples from the surface. Those drones would be like normal quadcopters, what have the sample handling equipment, and they can bring samples from the surface to the flying laboratory.

The HAVOC concept is actually the plan for sending unmanned flying laboratory to the atmosphere of planet Venus. And those experiences would be used in the next generation missions to travel in the atmospheres of giant gas planets like Saturn and Neptune. That mission, what would be true in the future would be working as the testbed for artificial intelligence and robots, what can use in the longer distances, where the signal travels a couple of hours.

The military operational model

One of the most interesting vision is that the airships would offer rooms for the computer systems, which would offer computer assistance for the ground troops if they need more computer power. Those systems can be used to control the drone swarms by using artificial intelligence.

But the thing is that those airships can operate as the flying command centers, where the commanding officers can watch the situation. And of course, those airships can use the cruise missiles, intelligence equipment or more exotic weapon systems like flechette or laser weapons.

The sub drones can be devastating weapons

The quadcopters would be used to carry explosives, like hollow warheads or the hybrid weapons where the hollow grenade is filled with propane. That will make it very high-class explosive and other high-explosive equipment what it can use against enemy tanks an troops. That airship can float over some area and shoot the incoming aircraft and cruise missiles down from the above.

The systems, what are tested and developed for the HAVOC concept would also operate in the combat zones, where the communication system would be jammed, and the airships would allow the change to operate as the relay station between troops and satellites if the communication will be jammed. But they can also offer very large scale rooms for surgery, and combat zone support systems, what can fly above the combat area and drop the equipment for the troops, when they need ammunition.
