The future wasnt meant to be Flashcards
(34 cards)
rocket mail
ya, rocket delivering mail, usually by governments
flying car
roadable aircraft. idea is from 1901
maglev full form
magnetic levitation
maglev
trains float with electromagnet, removing friction, travel very fast
maglev techonology. how does it work
EMS = capture a magnet by altering fields influence
EDS = induce currents in the train
zeppelins
airship. first in 1910
hydrogen gas in Hindenburg cuaght fire
suspension railway
train looks upside down
slow
ground effect vehicle =also known as
wing in ground effect
ground effect craft/machine
wingship
flarecraft
surface effect vehicle
ekranoplan
ground effect vehicle
aerodynamic effect where air between an object and the ground becomes compressed, reducing drag and increasing lift
used in military
supersonic transport
aircraft, travel faster than sound
Concorde and the Tupolev Tu-144
Overture = release in 2029
Concorde uses a _________
ogival delta wing
nuclear propulsion
ses nuclear reactions to generate high amounts of energy, enabling the ejection of large amounts of gases at high velocities for propulsion.
types of nuclear propulsion
Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP):
Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP):
Nuclear Pulse Propulsion:
Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP):
Uses a nuclear reactor to heat a propellant (like hydrogen) to very high temperatures, which then expands through a nozzle to create thrust, according to the Glenn Research Center.
Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP):
Converts heat from a nuclear reactor into electricity, which is then used to ionize a propellant and accelerate it with an electromagnetic field to generate thrust.
Nuclear Pulse Propulsion:
A theoretical method involving using nuclear explosions for thrust, as explored in Project Orion.
Hyperloop
basically like a flying train,transport through a low presssure tube, follows the principles of a vactrain
it bankrupted.
Hydrogen vehicles
use hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity, which then powers an electric motor.
how do hydrogen cehicles work
Fuel Cell: The core of the FCEV, it converts hydrogen into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen.
Hydrogen Tank: Stores compressed hydrogen gas, which is then fed into the fuel cell.
Electric Motor: Uses the electricity generated by the fuel cell to power the vehicle.
Small Battery: May be used to store excess electricity or provide a power boost. f
founder of hydrogen vehicles
trevor milton
mechas
piloted humanoid robots
fighting machines powered by people
the metaverse
a term referring to a persistent, shared virtual world where users, represented by avatars, can interact, work, and socialize in a 3D environment.
Francis Fukuyama
bro said we are reaching the end of history
history would end at the point when all of our issues are solved
The end of history shit begin with __________
hegel lah stupid ass.
marx - communist
