"Thermoelectric materials, which convert heat into electricity, play a crucial role in capturing waste heat and transforming it into usable power. These materials are particularly beneficial in industries and vehicles where engines produce significant waste heat, enhancing energy efficiency by generating additional electricity. They also hold promise for portable power applications, such as remote sensors and satellites, where traditional power sources may not be feasible."

The ability to turn waste heat into electricity increases the efficiency of power plants. Those things can also increase the efficiency of solar panels because they can collect heat from their black shells and then turn it into electricity. This kind of system can decrease the need for fuel in power stations. But this kind of system does not create electricity from the emptiness.

They turn IR- or thermal energy into electricity. And that makes them a good system to collect electricity from places like fusion platforms. That thing makes it possible to create systems that are making fusion systems like Tokamaks more efficient. When the thermoelectric elements turn IR radiation into electricity they take heat energy out from the shell. And maybe those systems can make it possible to create a fusion reactor that uses less energy than it delivers. 

The problem with traditional heat control systems is that they bind thermal energy into a medium like water. But the problem is where that water flow conducts energy. The heat exchangers are effective tools if there is a lake or river where that system can dump energy. The possibility to transform thermal energy into electricity makes it possible to create a system that transports thermal energy out from the system using radio waves or laser beams.

Those systems can revolutionize aviation and space technology. It can transport thermal energy out from the small size nuclear reactors in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The system can transport thermal energy out from high-temperature layers like from rocket engines. The system can also used to decrease temperatures from the shells of hypersonic aircraft and conduct electricity to plasma jet engines. 

The heat is the problem with hypersonic flight. But what if the system can turn heat into electricity and transport that electricity out from the shell? 

The system can used in new ways to decrease the temperature of the machines and make high-temperature systems more energy efficient. The blast furnaces can take thermal energy into use. Those systems can be used to collect energy from the small probes that can dive deep into the solar atmosphere. The solar panels would be effective. And they are in use at Parker Probe. 

But the ability to turn thermal energy into electricity allows to creation of probes that can go closer than Parker. The solar panels or their wires can melt even if they are in the vacuum thermos layer. The ability to close the probe into the thermal protecting layers makes it possible to transport the probe closer to the sun than ever. 

But the system that turns thermal energy into electricity without in-between. The new thermoelectric system can make new possibilities. For example the hypersonic flight. The ability to take thermal energy out from the shell by turning it into electricity makes it possible to create systems that cool the layers in fast-moving aircraft. 

The system can transport electricity to the engines where the electric system can increase the power of the engine. The idea is that electric arcs can raise the temperature of burning fuel. But. the system can also feed energy to things like plasma jet engines. That can make the aircraft more effective than ever before.

The fleet of mini-probes can travel in the solar systems quite soon.

The new type of space mission might consist of a fleet of miniature probes. And the larger probes that are coming to an asteroid are marked by mini probes. Those systems are operating by using highly advanced artificial intelligence. And they can make many decisions by themselves. 

The NASAs "Psyche" probe is traveling to the asteroid belt and operates using solar-powered ion engines. But the successor of that interesting probe might be something else. It can be the swarm of miniature probes that are traveling in the solar system. 

The fleet of "mini Psyches" can operate in the internal solar system. The idea of the miniature space probes is similar to drone swarms. They are simpler, cheaper, and more limited than full-scale probes. But they can cover a larger area. The miniature probes can operate along with the full-scale probes. 

And search for things like minerals. The miniature space probes are the tool that can observe multiple asteroids in the same mission. The sensors of those systems might be magnetometer, laser-spectrometer which has combined with lidar and laser scanner. And a CCD camera that is connected with a spectrometer. The idea is that this kind of system are using so much integrated technology as possible. 

The sensors of those miniature systems are limited but things like laser systems can integrate into one package. The lens is turning the laser into an effective spectrometer. And when the lens is removed from the route of laser ray that system can vaporize material from the asteroid's surface. The chemical combinations of that material can observe by using the spectrometer. The same laser system can use as a communication tool. And it can also mark the place where the miniature probe is. 

The smaller probes can search objects for the larger-size probes that have more versatile sensors. The idea is that the system is operating by using both types of probes. A large group of simpler probes is searching for the most interesting asteroids from the solar system. And then the larger probes are driving themselves to that asteroid.

What if the "humanoid base" is virtual?

What if the "humanoid base" is virtual?

Could it be possible that some civilization would send spacecraft here, without technology, which allows those hypothetical creatures to fly faster than the speed of light? There is another way to make that travel by using slow spacecraft when the mission would take even thousands of years.

The hypothetical spacecraft would make the local creatures biorobots, what mission is to make the base for aliens, and when the mission is done, the probe would send the message to the alien star. And there would send the craft, where are frozen alien cells, what the craft would use for cloning the aliens. This is one of the most interesting theories about the aliens, and why those creatures are so shy.

Sometimes I have wondered, why people are not seen that so-called top-secret UFO- or humanoid base? The reason might be more interesting than we ever expected. That thing is that there is a possibility, that this so-called base is some records, what are taken from the radio telescopes.

The idea for this thing is that the humanoids would send the radio transmit, what is captured by radio telescopes, and then those records would play to the people. This might be a good explanation, that the base of the humanoids is ever found. This is one of the most interesting vision, what I ever have seen when we are talking about UFOs.

When we are thinking the case, that humanoids would not able to travel interstellar distances by using physical spacecraft and staying alive, we must think the possibility, that those aliens might send an unmanned probe to the planet, what seems like interesting. That probe would record the communication between the organisms on that planet, and then it would just break the language of those organisms.

That action could be done by using simply the testing method, where the recorded sound would play to those aliens. And then the probe would follow the reactions of those creatures. For that kind of mission, the probe would use holograms and artificial intelligence, which would collect data of the communication and actions, what that species is doing.

In the final stage, the system would use the small drones for collecting the EEG of the brain core. And that helps to calibrate the systems. After that, the system would put the special helmet or nanotechnical layer in the targeted person's brains, and that layer would replace the brain core or if we want to use the scientific term, to the cerebral cortex, and start to give commands to the targeted person. Suitable targets for that kind of thing would be the top men of the community because those individuals would not be suspected so easily, that somebody is giving orders by using their mouths.

In this case, the system uses electric stimulation to the cerebral cortex for giving orders to that inmate. That would make the person the helper for those creatures. And here I must say, that probably someday in the distant future we might prepare our probe to the other solar system. And in that case, we would be the aliens, what are invading to the primitive planet.

But why those hypothetical aliens would do that thing? The idea of this imaginational operation is to make the representer of the other species the biorobots. In this case, the probe would take the individual under the control, and then just make things by using that body. The purpose of that thing is just to create necessary tools by using "local assistants" for that job. But in this case, the thing is that we must face another question, is it possible that those records are using in the process, where is created or trained the top persons of science and other governmental purposes.

Oamuamua is still a natural object (What the SETI-probe might look like?)

Oamuamua is still a natural object (What the SETI-probe might look like?)

When astronomers are talking about the thing, what makes the objects like Oamuamua very interesting and extraordinary is that is coming from another solar system. And when astronomer sees that kind of object, the thing is that it really could be everything from the cosmic ice bite to the humanoid spacecraft. In the worst case, the object would be the bite of antimatter, and then that would risk the entire solar system if it hits something.

Before astronomers would get the metering results and observations from that object, everything would be open, and we must realize that the object could be whatever. When we are facing this kind of objects, the scientists would always write and discuss everything and the opportunity to face humanoid spacecraft would be fascinating.

But before we could be sure is the particle the spacecraft from the far away or some natural particle the astronomers must get information about this article. The systems that are used are infrared and x-ray cameras and spectrometers, what are taking an image of the possible nuclear reactors. And the computers are going to calculate the trajectory of that particle. Then the astronomers would follow the object and compare its trajectory to the metering results.

The technical analysts would try to figure what kind of system the hypothetical probe from the other solar system might be.

Sometimes highly trained technical people are trying to figure, what the probe from the other solar system would look like, or what kind of probe we would send to another solar system if we would someday face the case, that near some star would sending the synthetic radio signals. So what kind of system the SETI (Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence) probe would be?

The probe might use lightweight radiation insulator for hiding the existence of the nuclear reactor. It would be a little bit different than we have thought. The systems of the probe would be drilled in the asteroid, which covers the existence of the artificial parts.

The hydrogen layer would cover the existence of the nuclear reactor, and before the probe would enter the targeted solar system, the outtake of the beam tube would be covered by ice, and the sophisticated artificial intelligence would shutdown all active systems of that probe including the nuclear reactor. And the central computer calculates the best trajectory, what the probe can use without possibility to uncover.

The SETI probes would use this kind of STEALTH technology for hiding their existence. And when they are traveling through the targeted solar system it would record the signals and operate with batteries. When it would be far enough it would send the laser or maser beam to the solar system, where the civilization, what has to send that probe would live.

Or if we want to think a complicated thing, we would think that the probe would send the data to the relay satellite, what orbits some other star, and that satellite will help to cover the location of the civilization. The thing is that if the civilization would someday send the probes to the other solar system, the things what we have expected to be only the imagination could become true.

And there is a possibility that the civilization, and in this text, the human race is also the civilization can face the hostile civilization. Maybe that intelligent species would not know, where to travel, and then it suddenly notices the yellow star, where is the suitable planet, and attacks to another planet. But there is one problem with that kind of way to think. The problem is that if the planet is suitable for that civilization, the micro-organisms would cause problems for that civilization.

The Titan moon, and its atmosphere

The Titan moon, and its atmosphere

On the top of this text is the David Hardy's painting of the surface of Titan, and the second image is taken by the Huygens lander from the surface of the Titan moon. The Saturnian giant moon, Titan is the only known particle in our solar system, there are lakes, what is formed by hydrocarbons. The temperature in that moon is very low, 170 degrees Celsius, and that makes possible that this moon, what is a little bit smaller than  Ganymede has the liquid hydrocarbon in the surface.

The gravity field of this moon is weaker than Earth, and the person, who would wight 150 kilograms on Earth would weigh only 10 kilograms on Titan, and that would be very interesting because that thing means that the gravity field is really weak. Titan is actually very famous because if it clouds, and hydrocarbon oceans, what was predicted in the 1970s. The thing what makes Titan very interesting is its atmosphere.

There is a problem with the gas pressure, what is 1,42 ATM

The pressure on the surface of Titan is a problem for the scientists. The hydrocarbon atmosphere causes the pressure on the Titan is very huge, and that is actually 1,42 times higher than on planet Earth. And that means there is something special in this moon. In fact, the atmosphere of that moon should be sucked away by the gravity of the planet Saturn.  The reason is that the weak gravity field should not make this pressure possible. The thing is that Titan should lose its atmosphere to space, and there are more things, what makes this particular moon so interesting.

There are hydrocarbon oceans, as we know, but in 1970s space art, some artists have predicted the form of the surface of that moon very sharply. And there are some interesting questions about that thing. How did that prediction happen? The Titan hydrocarbon water system was found by Cassini in the same year when it sends the Huygens lander to the surface of that mysterious moon.
