Mini Robots Grid Meteorite Search
We need very much to study meteorites more, but we need more sampling to get this done. One way to do this is to go out hunting for meteorites. This is much easier said than done. But perhaps using some current technology it will not be quite so hard. For instance AFF Automated flight following systems has been used for more than a decade now. It uses GPS tracking by satellite to guide aerial fire fighting aircraft into the drop zone to let loose of their fire retardant. This is especially important when you cannot see and know that there is no ILS Instrument Landing System to guide you in. We also have GPS systems which are used in construction with way points for heavy equipment, along with GIS they can do leveling with graders and scrapers almost without people involved. We also have robotic small tractors, which are being developed for use by Sandia Labs. Yet much of this technology is now; "off the shelf" technology. Take for instance the; Kanga D800R Radio Controlled Skidder. This could easily be used in conjunction with the AFF systems and GIS/GPS satellite tracking. http://www.baumpub.com/publications/arc/heg_05apr/kanga.htm You can actually buy one of these for your backyard. Now realize each meteorite has an electromagnetic signature which is different than Earth and it also has a metallic component which makes it easy to detect. On top of that it is a different color. So sensors to pick up these difference could be loaded onto the Kanga units and they could be set out in a grid pattern of 3 meters apart and simple scan the entire desert for meteorites. There are vasts amounts of meteorites, which are simply laying on the ground waiting for discovery and we need these to help us learn about other worlds. By using current technology we can collect all the meteorites available to us. Think on this.

I mean it seems easy, you flick a switch and "bam" there is light! While not much more complicated than that, there is a little science involved.To understand how a light works you need to understand certain terms including voltage, watt and amperage. Acoustic Transducers for High Altitude Balloon Control Using acoustic transducers it maybe possible to create a small region of thicker air underneath a blimp and use that patch as a platform of air to float on while blowing ever so slightly low pressure air underneath the blimp like a hover craft. Although this idea sounds like a long shot it can be done by use of a screen, which shoots the directed frequency waves into the waves created by the acoustic transducers.

The Ecology of Environmentalism The concept of "nature" is a romantic invention. It was spun by the likes of Jean-Jacques Rousseau in the 18th century as a confabulated utopian contrast to the dystopia of urbanization and materialism. Using High Altitude Blimp Cell Phone Communication By allowing high altitude Satellite Type Balloons or Blimps with Cell Phone type communications we could have a tremendous secondary back-up for communication. Also we could use this high altitude blimp to send out frequencies good for health, such as the Earth's frequency of 7. Big Bang or Lots of Big Fire Crackers? There are many who talk about the Big Bang Theory. Although no one can be sure what went bang? Steven Hawking suggests it does not matter what went bang, because we will never know, so let's think on things we can know. Theoretically is it Possible to Defy Gravity? Many believe it is possible to build an anti-gravity machines and there are many small version which can do this by interfering with the gravity waves. Other say why build an anti-gravity wave machine when you can use the gravity to pull you the other way. An Immortal Horse Egyptian scholars know there is little other than fiction that can be written about the civilization that lived on the banks of the Nile in far more recent times than the beginning of the 'Old Copper Culture'.

Static Charge Pulse on Wind Generator Material Memory Blades Wind Power is considered a clean industry and is amongst the favorites of environmentalists and clean energy supporters. Unfortunately the wind generators rely on the wind and the wind is somewhat inconsistent in that sometimes it blows and some times it does not.
