The skull and pipe

The skull and pipe

In some paintings, death smokes a pipe, and there are three ways to think about that thing. Or I have seen one painting or woodcut, where death has portrayed while that horrifying character is sitting and smoking. Does that mean that tobacco causes cancer? In the modern time that thing would mean that but on the 18th. century there was no knowledge about cancer and the connection between tobacco and cancer.

But who knows, how much of those things kept secret in the 18th. century. Cancer would be a good way to ditch the people, who knew too much. The normal people did not know, what that thing, what caused blood in the sputum, and death very soon. So did the ancient doctors knew the connection between cancer and tobacco? Those things were secrets, that they could use to make people unable to tell anything when they are divorced from the active commanding position.

But another thing, what that pipe might mean is that if the person has put the active carbon filter in the pipe. And then the careless person would come to threat that thing, what is portrayed as death, that can be the last thing, what that person can ever do. If the room is filled with carbon monoxide, the filter can save the person's life, but the intruder would die.

And in some science fiction stories in the pipe would cover the small generator. That thing would give electricity to the small magnetron, which will give electromagnetic impulse to target, and that thing would cause even death. These kinds of things are always happening in science fiction tales. This kind of thing is making heroes or the master of bad guys invincible in the many tales, what are meant for the younger audience. These kinds of things are the most interesting examples of productive thinking, what makes us human beings.

Anti-drone weapons

Anti-drone weapons

The new threats would make a need to create new counter-weapons. Drone-swarms are the threat to the military forces around the world. And when we are thinking about counter-actions against those weapons the most effective thing against them, if we would use the conventional systems are the fast-shooting automatic shotguns like a shotgun version of the normal machine guns and cannons, what are shooting birdshot. The idea is that the drone-swarms would shoot a large number of steel balls, what mission is to shoot down as many drones as possible.

Those weapons can be as an example 155 mm. field howitzer, what is loaded with shrapnel ammunition, which makes that weapon very effective in the purpose, where is needed to destroy very many drones at the same time. But also microwave and plasma-based solutions would be effective in the case, where drone-swarms are attacking against some area.

If this kind of weapon is dropped from the aircraft above the swarm there is a possibility that the EMP-bomb would destroy all electronics of that drone swarm. But the EMP weapon, what bases the technology, where the battery is pressed with explosives. Also, the weapons, which are based with MASER (Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) would be used against drone swarms as well as many other targets.

The radars, what are operating by using high voltage microwave frequencies can also terminate incoming aircraft and as well as drone swarms. The difference between radio-and microwaves is that the microwaves are warming targets, and that's why they are used in a microwave oven.

If we would target microwaves to the head of the person, that would cause the same effect, what happens, when the cruel egg is put in the microwave oven. Microwave-frequential electromagnetic radiation would also heat the metals, and if the materials of the aircraft are melting, that would cause the situation, that the body of the aircraft would be destroyed.

That system would create extremely high power microwave burst can also be used against aircraft and satellites. The microwave would be very dangerous for humans and animals, but the reason, why those weapons are created is that the microwave area is sharper than with the use of napalm or some conventional explosive.

There are rumors that the HPV:s (High-Power Microwave Bombs) are meant to use also against the attacking aircraft. That means that those microwave burst weapons would be dropped from the satellites to the route of attacking aircraft and those weapons might sweep those aircraft from the skies. 

EMP-weapons might also damage electronics of the large warships, missile-sites and other places, where the electronics are in a vital role. But if we are thinking about non-lethal and existing things, the most effective weapons can be the ECM-systems, which are used normally to jam the radars.

Those systems can also use to deny the communication between drones and that means that drones lose the data-connections, also ECM-systems can jam normal encrypted communication, what uses the data transmitter. Also, those ECM systems can deny the use of IFF (Identification, Friend or Foe) systems, if they base the radio-communication.

Other versions of the IFF systems use optical data transmitters, what are immune against radio-wave based systems, but they are vulnerable to clouds and smoke, what denies those systems communicate with other systems. And the optical IFF-system is easy to hack. The aircraft or land station must just record those flashes, and copy them to own similar systems.

About CHAMP, non-lethal EMP-missiles

About CHAMP, non-lethal EMP-missiles

CHAMP (The Counter-electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project) is the non-lethal cruise missile, what would terminate the electronics and communication equipment by using microwaves. The problem is that even CHAMP is marketed as "non-lethal weapon", the thing is that standing in the microwave area might not be healthy.

In fact, CHAMP might cause terrible injuries for people, who it targeted, because when microwave hits to metal particles or some other dense material, that material starts to warm. This thing means that metal particles like buckles and helmets might start to heat, and this might cause injuries.

EMP-weapons can shut down, as an example the electronic systems of the ships, which are carrying nuclear weapons. And this might make possible to capture those weapons. It can also damage the systems, what are controlling the nuclear reactors, and safety systems of nuclear and other special weapon storages. This can make possible to capture those weapons, what are the most lethal things, what mankind has ever created. 

And another thing is that the ammunition in the boxes start to warm, what might cause explosions. The thing is that weapons like CHAMP could be used against enemy aircraft, and drone swarms and ships, and they can damage the controlling electronics of those vehicles.

If the EMP-missile flies through the missile or aircraft group, it destroys their electronics, but microwaves also heat the core of the aircraft, and that can cause fatal damages. But the problem with CHAMP and other EMP weapons is that if it is targeted to the warships, what is carrying nuclear weapons, it can destroy electric systems of the devices. And this thing allows abducting nuclear weapons from that installation.
