Fighting a Swarm With Swarming Techniques in the Battlespace

New methods are being developed to mimic the evolutionary tactics of insect swarms in warfare. This makes sense because we know for instance a killer bee swarm can take down a large animal in a short amount of time.

Taking Out a Swarm With a Directional Sound Wave

Can we take out a swarm of insects with a directional sound wave? Can we cause the wings to shatter like a wine glass with powerful sound waves? Well this is one idea which has been shot down now in an online think tank. The concept was sent to a professional engineer who confirmed that it probably is not feasible.

Human Powered Space Craft? No Way!

Well the nut cases are out in full force I thought when I read someone on an online think tank state that we should put stationary bicycles in space craft and use the energy to charge the batteries or at least keep them topped off?

Contest Needed to Control Insect Swarms

There are many insect type swarms, which threaten mankind. For instance killer bees or the very devastating Locust Plagues, which can wipe out a seasons crops in minutes. It appears that we maybe able to control insect swarms in various ways; for instance sound waves, which are directed into the heart of the swarm.

Testing Honey Bees and the Affects of Sound

Bees do a lot of buzzing don’t they? And we are not sure why they do this, but it seems to be more than just because their wings flap at 230 beats per second.

Will Insects Rule After Humans Become Extinct?

With all this global warming, climate change and climate cliff scares mankind is not sitting in such a wonderful place in the next period as our ancestors of the past period assumed we would be.

Stationary Exercise Bikes for NASA

Should we go ahead and put stationary bikes in all the spacecraft, space station and Lunar Bases? Recently the concept came up in an online think tank when one member suggested that we hook them up to charge batteries too. Then a debate erupted over all this and it was called a hair-brained idea.

Exercise Bikes in the Space Colony Stations or Long-Term Space Flight

A proposal has been circulated in an online think tank to put stationary bicycles, which charge batteries about spacecraft, in space colonies and on space bases. One think tanker critical of this idea says...

Recycling Space Junk and Debris

Well here we are in the year 2006 and what do we have? We have humans polluting space? That’s right we have space junk. We have old debris floating around out there and it is a dangerous thing. We need to get this stuff out of the way and also collect some of this debris to recycle?

Look Out; Space Junk 10 O Clock

The future of Space is now upon us as the fledgling space industry gets started. But are humans being smart about what is out there? You see, we have one hell of a lot of Space Junk floating around out there and it is moving very fast as it orbits the Planet.

Bees Swarms and Sound

When Bees Swarm they make a Buzzing Sound as we all know. Why do they do this; does it help them in other ways? Does it help them fly; help them attack their targets in a group? Warn those animals near by to get lost like right now, we are coming thru? Or is this sound uses to help in group-flight characteristics to benefit the entire Swarm.

5 Compelling Reasons to Take On E-Learning

Are you one of those who are stuck in the rat race for quality lifelong education but don't find the hassle of getting stuck in the jam while catching up with the night classes? If you are one of these people, then perhaps you can benefit from the new age learning environment: E-Learning.

Locust Swarms; Are They Random?

The chaos and order debate came up again recently in an online think tank and this time is was nothing like the regular debates, no, this time it was with regards to locust plagues and the question was is the locust swarm a chaotic mess

Abandoned Ballast Action Plans and Strategies

Ships have ballast tanks, which take on water in far away ports and then dump the ballast in other ports. Makes a lot of sense right? Sure unless you consider what is in that water, such as non-native species which might screw up the food chain and eco-systems of where ever it is that the ballast is dumped.

UUV RFID Tagging of Sunken Ships

As we label and track all the space debris orbiting our planet, we too need to tag and track all the human debris scattered on the ocean floors. Why you ask? Well to prevent our underwater salvagers from wasting their time and to help us patrol what is down there and why.
