The world has advanced to an astonishing level over the past few decades. Some great work has been done and some still under-development. Let's see what are some upcoming tech's that can prove to be game changer.
Laser weapons
There have been a couple of advancements in this field recently. A new system called the LaWS is a photon cannon that can shoot incredible blasts of heat over long distances, and amazingly, it has proven effective against airborne drones.
Lasers are actually used to move heat from one object to another and destroys that object.
Here's a video that will give you an idea about Laser Weapon but that's a little different to what I was referring above.
Iron Man - The Flying Suit
Yes, you heard it right. The world is full of crazy people. Would it be any better without them? I don't think so.
Richard Browning an inventor who explains his Iron Man mission as if he was making a doll. In his words;
My approach to flight was why not augment the human mind and body, because they are amazing machines, so I just bolted on what was missing - thrust.
Retarded, isn't he? I don't think so.
The Iron Man suit works using six miniature jet engines, or thrusters, which are attached to an exoskeleton at the back and arms. At the moment it takes off only vertically but can be controlled using arms. But it requires a lot of strength to do so.
There's also a monitor that displays the fuel consumption and other functionality related stuffs.
Richard Browning has been quite successful in this adventures. There's been recently this article on Telegraph which claims that even the British Army is interested in this technology.
You can read the Telegraph story here.
Here's a test video that presents this fiction-based tech.
There's some more advanced technologies coming up but I guess I will share that some other day. Let's just hope that these technologies are not used for the destruction of the world rather for betterment. Enjoy !
