WONDERFUL TECHNOLOGY OF MAGNETIC LEVITATION BEHIND THE SUPERFAST TRANSRAPID TRAINS

Image
In the current changing scenario of climate change due to global  warming, governments of many countries are really encouraging and advising more people to use more public transportation. So, one of the brilliant options is a trans-rapid system of trains operated with  amazing and wonderful technology like Magnetic levitation. This trans-rapid system of  transportation does not require any driver unlike in high-speed trains and moreover, this magnetic levitation technology uses two sets of magnets:  one set to repel and push the train up off the track a nd another set to move the elevated train ahead, taking advantage of the lack of friction.  With this wonderful and advanced technology, the train travels along a guideway of magnets which control the train's stability and speed. While the propulsion and levitation require no moving parts, the bogies can move in relation to the main body of the vehicle and some technologies require support by retractable wheels at speeds under 150 k

THE VIMANA: MYSTERIOUS ANCIENT INDIAN ADVANCED AEROSPACE FLIGHT TECHNOLOGY

Image
     The word " Vimana " is a Sanskrit word that literally means "measuring out, traversing" or "having been measured out". So, Vimana is defined as "a car or a chariot of the gods, any self-moving aerial car sometimes serving as a seat or throne, sometimes self-moving and carrying its occupant through the air; other descriptions make the Vimana more like a house or palace or even in temple architectures, and one kind is said to be seven stories high", and quotes the Pushpaka Vimana  of Ravana  as an example from one of the greatest Hindu epics namely Ramayana. It may denote any car or vehicle, especially a bier or a ship as well as a palace of an emperor, especially with seven stories.      More interestingly,  In some Indian languages like Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu,  and Hindi,  vimana   or   vimanam  means "aircraft" , for example in the town name Vimanapura  (a suburb of Bengaluru city ) and Vimannagar, a town in Pune city. In anothe

LATEST RESEARCH: IS THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE REALLY DANGEROUS OR THREAT TO HUMAN BEINGS?

Image
     In this 21st century, it is really wonderful and quite amazing that from various applications like computers to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing rapidly. While science fiction often portrays AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google’s search algorithms to IBM’s Watson to autonomous weapons.  Artificial intelligence today is properly known as narrow AI(or weak AI), in that it is designed to perform a narrow task (e.g. only facial recognition or only internet searches or only driving a car). However, the long-term goal of many researchers is to create general AI(AGI or Strong AI). While narrow AI may outperform humans at whatever its specific task is, like playing chess or solving equations, AGI would really outperform humans at nearly every cognitive task.  Since recent developments have made super-intelligent machines possible much sooner than initially thought, the time is now to determine what dangers artifi

HOW TO REDUCE THE POLLUTION AND BEAT PLASTIC POLLUTION USING THE TECHNOLOGY?

Image
     Each year, around 13 million tonnes of plastic end up in the oceans. That’s the equivalent of a full garbage truck emptying into the ocean every minute.  In the last decade, the world produced more plastic than in the whole last century.  And 50 percent of the plastic we use is single-use or considered ‘disposable.  How can we flip this trend and end plastic pollution?  The ‘3 Rs’ aim to reduce, reuse, and recycle plastic use and consumption. And this year, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has added, "If you can't reuse it, refuse it". " With the current scale of the problem, it is clear that reducing our use and cleaning up our impact is critical to the health of our environment.      So let us see how can Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) help to clean up and prevent plastic pollution using the following ideas: 1. Using the Internet and social media: Firstly, you are reading this because of the power of the internet to connect pe

WHY DID NASA STOP THE MANNED MISSIONS TO THE MOON AFTER APOLLO 17 MISSION IN 1972?

Image
     The Mission  Apollo  13 accident in April 1970 led to many calls to  end  lunar  missions . Later on, the widespread desire to  end Apollo  after a successful flight and to counter Soviet claims that robotic lunar exploration was safer, cheaper, and more effective than human lunar exploration helped to prolong the  program .     Astronauts often say the reasons humans haven't returned to the lunar surface are budgetary and political hurdles,  not  scientific or technical challenges. Private companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX may be the first entities to return people to the  moon . However,  Landing 14 people on the moon still remain to be one of NASA's greatest achievements of all time history, if not it was the greatest achievement.  Astronauts had collected many rocks, took photos, performed experiments, planted some flags, and then came back home on earth. But those week-long stays during the Apollo program did not actually establish a lasting human presence on the
