Drones can harness energy from the skies.



"New research into Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES), funded by a substantial Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) grant, seeks to harness high-altitude wind energy using drones, aiming to overcome challenges in system stability and enhance commercial viability, supporting the UK’s net-zero goals.

The drone can harness energy from the sky using solar panels and wind turbines. The drone itself can rise into a high atmosphere using its engines. Their drone shuts down engines. And then the drone can hover in jettisons or rising air pillars like sailplanes. 

And there the electric engine that turns into wind turbines and solar panels can create electricity. That drone can use advanced autopilot and things like lidars to search right air flows. The idea is that. This kind of drone can minimize its electric use. 


In this video, the system uses 500 m. flying systems. But it's possible. This type of system can also have stratospheric altitudes. The stratospheric system requires wireless energy transport. Or it requires nanotechnical electric wire that is lightweight enough. 

Then it can send more energy to the ground. This kind of system is economical only, if it can create more electricity than it uses. The induction electric engines can used as electric engines and generators. The idea is that the drone is like an intelligent kite that creates electricity. The Dutch engineers created an idea of intelligent kites that put wind generators hovering in the atmosphere.

In some visions, the 30 km altitude flying large-scale drones can also transport small rockets or space shuttles to the edge of space. And there those systems can launch their cargo. The carrier can be a modified Boeing Condor that uses an electric engine system, and the payload can be a Pegasus or Dream Chaser-type small shuttle.

The thing in this kind of system is how to transport electricity into the ground. In simplest version. The drone can fill its batteries, and then it lands at the base. There users connect wires to those batteries. But this version is ineffective. 

A better way is to use coherent radio, laser, or microwave transmissions. This system makes it possible for drones to transmit energy to ground stations from high altitudes. This is a more effective way to transport information and energy to an electric network. 

The same system can used as a communication platform. The system can act as a low-flying satellite. And in some future visions. That kind of "lightweight satellites". Or atmospheric satellites replace part of orbital satellites. 

The high-altitude reconnaissance and surveillance platform can use the same principles and technology as energy-producing drones. High-altitude drones can also destroy incoming ammunition and lower-flying aircraft and drones using laser and microwave systems. 


The drone can produce energy with the same method that the energy production drone uses. 


The high-altitude drones can also protect areas against enemy low-flying crafts. The high-flying drone can shoot low-flying drones and incoming ammunition. The solar-power drone that can use solar power in the daytime, and turn its induction engines into a wind generator that allows it to load batteries for nighttime can fly at very high altitudes. 

The system might have one engine that can use solar power and another engine that can used as a wind generator.  The system can shut down both engines and then glide between rising air pillars. In that period the system could use engines as the wind generators. And there that system can observe area. When it sees incoming ammunition like missiles it can shoot them using laser or microwave generators. This is one version of the multiuse technology.

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with th

Mythic Planet X is an interesting thing because that allows the way to the perfect stealth technology.

  Mythic Planet X is an interesting thing because that allows the way to the perfect stealth technology.  Could a hypothetical Planet X tunnel all radiation?  The myth of Planet X still lives. Nobody ever saw that planet, and the thing that supports the theory of previously unknown large-size planets in Kuiper's belt are mysterious anomalies in Neptune's trajectory. The thing is that nothing else supports the theory of the existence of the "invisible planet". The size of the planet must be very big. And its gravitational field strong that it can affect Neptune's trajectory.  And the search for that mysterious planet is very long work. In some visions, the mysterious gravitational source is mentioned as the small black hole, but nobody understands why that black hole doesn't seem to interact.  In some other theories, Planet X is a glimpse of dark matter. And that thing makes it invisible. But there is one weakness. The dark matter object must have some kind of

Nanoparticles are excellent tools for medicine transporters.

"Researchers have developed a new therapy for pancreatic cancer involving nanoparticles that stimulate immune responses and improve drug delivery. This innovative method has led to significant tumor reduction in mice and holds potential for treating other cancers. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, New Nanoparticle Cancer Treatment Successfully Shrinks and Eliminates Pancreatic Tumors) Nanoparticles can carry medicines into wanted cells. The idea is that the same system that feeds those cells transports those nanoparticles into cells that need medicine. When a nanoparticle goes, into a cell, it releases the chemicals into the targeted cells. Because nanoparticles don't let medical molecules interact with a body that makes it possible to create new and more powerful cytostatics. Nanoparticles can transport things like ricin molecules into wanted cells.  Ricin is one of the most poisonous chemicals. That chemical is useful for next-generation cytostatics, if researche
