How Much Sound Can a Killer Bee Take?

What if you could stop a killer bee swarm with sound? We know sound can be quite damaging to the human eardrums that goes without saying. And even these little Earbud pieces the kids use for their iPods are said to be so crisp that they can hurt one’s over all hearing?

World Futurists Society; How Smart Are They

The World Futurist Society is a group of folks who are watching current trends and wish to solve problems or propel smarter decisions in the here and now to make the World a better place in the future? But how smart are they? Well maybe we should ask how much do they care? They are a rather sincere group of people indeed.

Flying Underwater UUVs or Small Manned Submarines

Is it possible to build a submarine, which flies? Can we build a small underwater craft with the latest new innovative materials, which is light enough to fly, but strong enough to withstand the pressures of the ocean? Could that be possible? Well one online think tank is considering that very issue and they have come up with a fewer rather intriguing designs for instance; Manta Ray Concept

Bouncing Beach Ball Planetary Exploration Robot Swarms

It has been proposed the NASA build planetary exploration robotic swarm beach balls, which can bounce along the surface of a planet and roll as they collect data. Could something like this actually work?

Space Junk; Eliminate it Now

For future space exploration we have to worry about many things such as radiation. But there are now man-made problems in space too. You see, space Junk is a huge problem and there needs to be new protocols to keep it to a minimum.

Bee Colonies and Scouts

Everyone in a Bee Colony has a specific job, which they are physically made for. When bees swarm they work together as a team and these little creatures can take down huge animals. How do they do it and who decides?

Why Do Bees Buzz; Does it Help Them Fly?

Bees fly around and buzz, just like many other insects. Does this buzzing help them fly? Some believe it just might assist the bees in flying a little? How so you ask? Well recently in an online think tank a gentleman stated

Trusting Your Physics Instructor

Can you trust your physics instructor? Yes for the most part you can sure, but. It appears to me we cannot trust physics instructors in every regard. Too many theories being purported and mathematically calculated with proofs, only years later to find out they were are wrong.

Sound Waves, Bees and Micro-Mechanical Flying Insects

There has been quite a lot of talk about taking sound waves to control organic insects with or even to use to stop locust plagues or steer bee swarms. But the more I look at this the more I want to build a micro-mechanical flying insect rather than screw around destroying the bugs. Then use the sound waves to help keep them aloft.

Space Shuttle Arresting Hook for Lunar Landings; Feasible?

Can we land the space shuttle on the moon? Some say it is impossible, but not all. One idea floated in an online think tank recently was to set up an aircraft carrier style arresting hook and allow the space shuttle to land on a flat area or semi hard run way. Of course such a crazy stunt could be risky, but what if it could be done?

Bees Use Sound to Assist in Swarming Flight

There is a theory floating around out there that in fact Bees use sound waves during swarming and perhaps during normal single insect flight to help with the aerodynamics of their endeavors? Some say this cannot be, yet it surely can as a lot can happen in 400 million years of evolution and Bees have shorter life cycles so consider the possibilities?

Sound and Thermal Signatures of Swarms

Locust Swarms and Plagues are disasters in the making as they devastate and entire years crop yield in minutes. As human populations increase there are more mouths to feed and a locust swarm can upset the already difficult task and balance to keep up. Especially in places like Africa.

Theories on Using Sound to Defeat Locust Plague Devastation

At least one researcher of the locust plague devastation in our world believes the answer to stopping the locust swarms may be quite simple indeed. In fact much of his theories appear to be sound. That is right sound; as in harmonics, acoustics and directional sound waves to disrupt locust plagues and swarms in mid-flight.

Can We Use Sound Waves to Make Locusts Crash When Swarming?

Is there a way to cause all the locusts in a locust plague or swarm to crash? Can we cause structural failure in their wings using directed sound waves or sound energy? This subject was recently brought up in an online think tank while brain storming ways to stop locusts from devastating the countryside.

Vibrational Energy and Aerodynamics of Flight

Can we build a Micro-Air Vehicle or MAV, which uses vibrational energy from directed sound waves to create advantages in flying characteristics? Did you know that NASA built a little MAV powered by a laser
