The new type of helicopters are not new ideas


Picture I

The problem with the helicopters is that they are not very fast, in the comparison between aircraft, and the second thing is that sometimes helicopters are so noisy. When the SWAT-team would land on the roof of the building, they normally want the operate silent, or that's what normal people think because that allows them to make surprise attack to space, where the target is.


If the helicopter would be hit by weapons, it should land safely, and that's why there should be used the autorotation if there would be problems with engines. Autorotation is the thing, what is used in the "Autogyros", and it means that the rotor of the helicopter would let rotate freely, what would be slow the dropping speed. The same system, what makes helicopters safe in the landing situation, makes it silent. The idea of the Autogyro is not new. In the medieval time were created the toys, what were landed slow, when they were thrown in the air.

Those rotor-toys gave an idea to Juan de Gierva to make the worlds first Autogyro. In the movie "007 and the Moonraker" James Bond used Autogyro against bad guys helicopters, and in some rumors,  the CIA and MI-6 have those small Autogyros, what are equipped with "Stinger" missiles and lightweight anti-tank weapons like Bofors RBS-56 "Bill". Also, light machine guns can be used in this thing, what could be effective against some drug baron. Those lightweight aerial vehicles can be also used in mercenary-operations around the world.

If the rotor of the helicopter would be equipped with the connector, what is used in cars, the pilot can turn the power off from the main rotor, and then the helicopter would land without noise. But when we are thinking about Autogyros, we can build them to look like the normal helicopter. When the Autogyro is going airborne, the power would be connected to the main rotor, and the system acts like the normal helicopter. And when the pilot wants to fly fast, the power would switch off the main rotor, when the helicopter would increase the speed.


But when we would want to make the helicopter, what can fly as fast as the airplane, we would face the problem, that the main rotor would not stand the speed. This is why there have been created the system, what is known as the "disc rotor". That system is actually the disc what increases like the pancake when the speed of rotor would increase, and when the speed of rotor would decrease, the size of the disc would decrease. This would give a chance to make faster helicopters or Autogyros than ever before.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
