The Musk Dispenser?

 Starship Window!

One recently heard and interesting interview given by the billionaire Elon Musk into why he is keen to develop his Spaceship that will allow humans access to planets, The Moon and other bodies in the Solar System and return to Earth to be reused!

He said that this time was our opportunity, in case in the nest hundred years we are knocked back by a natural disaster, nuclear war or a virus of some type. This might lead to us not being able to gain the ground that we now have?

But meanwhile with all this private venturing other contracts are underway for a new Space Shuttle, that can be updated using nano technologies and it may be in a year or two before is is un vailed to the world?

By then Musk will have an fully operational star ship system to get to the Moon and Mars, since he believes that NASA is too slow with everything it has been doing?

N.A.T.O. Testing new Hypersonic!

 Aurora is now Operational?

While we are all locked up due to the PANDEMIC, the military is testing their own version of the hypersonic engine at full power, possibly all those strange booms around London?

By the way the BAE Hawk training Jets cannot break the sound barrier and those aircraft that can leave the sound of rumbling thunder!

Russia and China are ten years ahead of us in the production and development of this new type of fighter jet, that can take two hours to cross thousands of miles from any point on the planet.

Britain and Sweden are working on more than vaccines at the moment, but have found a successor to their existing platforms with a multi-role jet, manned, un-manned and drone variants are all to be developed and deployed by 2040 

The pedal bike without a Chain?

 Bar and Cogs!

The Netherlands has come up with a cleaner bicycle, that has no chain and the Brick is much lighter stronger and in demand more so than when it came so popular one hundred years ago?

There have been many attempts made to do something new and yet this is one of if not the best yet? At the moment price is its hold back but in the years to come with the continues push for green energy it will become more affordable and many chin bikes will end up in museums?

Much more is coming our way with the push pedal power, which could lead to short distant travel using this new system, depending on weight!

Dynamo Battery!

 Better than the improved Lithium?

Its the Dutch that are starting to lead the way in future energy sources by going back into our ancient past to find simpler ways to generate a constant flow of energy and this with the wheel spinning at the right rate!

The math behind it is amazing, but it works and if we could miniaturize it we could quickly get rid of the need of the need for Lithium and other forms of older batteries?

Meanwhile the new lithium's are now becoming more and more compact, that to charge a vehicle can now be done by a battery the size of the palm of your hand.

A happier New Year 2021.

 What did you get in your Sock?

Christmas has proved through for model making and the traditional boys toys, but it has also included drones and cameras as gifts with new state of the art features that sometimes us oldies cannot keep up with?

Lockdown isolation does not have to be depressing with model railways, war gaming and interactive platforms. Looking out the window offers many different opportunities to observe nature, the skyline, vehicles and transport or something totally different?

We have to know that you cannot use a drone at a certain height and distance from any airport or field and one is not sure what the regulations say in relation to railway lines or yards or ports, marinas at that!

We are all hoping for a happier New Year, but with the warning from WHO, it may be getting worse?

Father Christmas not effected by COVID-19!

 What will Christmas Bring in our Socks?

For many children it may mean little or nothing, since poverty in western society is on the rise and one can measure this by the price of rents in the private sector and so called unsocial housing?

But there is a plethora of toys out there and many of us will get something despite the continuing Pandemic?

New announcements in technology will also come to the fore at this time of the year with more emphasis on both electric and gas powered machines, but also the rise of the drone and more effective uses for them from Internet shopping providers to even the postal services?

Drones may initially work well in isolated places, saving delivery and driver times and some may even be deployed from vehicles rather than distribution centers? 

One main problem with drone flights is that they could collide with light aircraft or obstacles such as power lines, transmitters and other communication towers!

Gas Powered Aviation = The Future!

 Hydrogen is now a Fact?

Many aircraft manufacturers say, 'That they are now planning for hydrogen powered design along with the wing concepts that will prove to be more economical!

Already there is a push in Europe for such a concept, while Embraer is looking at battery powered helicopter flight with many others?

Airbus is now promoting the A220-100 as a business jet to counter new arrivals from Japan and the far east that will do very well.

Boeing has certified its MAX series into service, after the two tragic losses, Ryanair will be the biggest operator of the type in Europe and outside of the U.S. Many new adaptions are being added to the Boeing 777-10 series and Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner, while Airbus has been busy with its popular A330 and EWB A350-900/1000 series.
