Gimmie a reason why

You have explained rotoary and nano engines but how will this be an important piece of technology related to the military? Thats what i'm wondering about.
 
nanomotor

On the nano side.
If I load a million little bugs (machines) programmed to say ruin ground water and public water supplies and launch them say a hundred vehicles at a time towards the enemy, they won't see them come. They will only see the result of the process if they get down into the realms of submicroscopic. How long will the discovery take? What remedial action would you take to neutralize such an attack? My little nanomotor might be used to disperse such critters along the way. Kind of like a paratrooper jumping out of the plane. If each nanobot is given instructions to build something that pollutes that water in time you have a massive headache if you are the target.
 
Re: Nonomotor:
Good post. Now that the cat is out of the bag, there is a lot of money going to nanoresearch. Because it is still in the early stages, scientists publish papers which the opponent finds out and copies them. So when the paper publication stops, then there is the race to built the weapons from the last published knowledge.

That means, the opponent will have the same capabilities both offense and defense. The defense will include seek and destroy nanobots that will home in the signature of the offending party.

It is a race no doubt....

We can start a whole new post on this wet1, you do the honors!

You can delete both your postings, then I will delete this one. That way we take the garbage out.....

What will happen if insects eat your bullets? And how many of you will go to far away hostile places? And what you will do if those insects (nanobots) chomp your butt off???
 
O! curley1

And you have not heard of Depleted Uranium bullets...and still want to play with it? I am surprised...

By the way, those Napalms, they will vaporize you too...

Looks like we are stuck in this thread.....
 
I have heard of DU rounds...

Depleated Uranium rounds can be fired from the M1-A1 Abrhams Battle tank. They were used with amazing lethality in the Gulf War, making Russian-built tanks into molten Tonka trucks with great ease.

Maybe the can of Napalm Raid will come with a fire-retardent suit, and gloves. This is giving me a pretty intresting idea for a new business venture... Any investors out there?

Who needs comedians when you crack yourself up?
 
Napalm Raid? I guess that's what I should have called the hairspray and lit newspaper I used for getting rid of wasp/hornet nests. But it did not contain jellied gasoline.
 
I've got it!!!!

A 'Ball Fryer' based on using microwave energy to increase the temperature of the testicles to an intolerable level!

Immediate incapacitation!

Non-lethal (except to future generations)!

A deterent to conflict (who'd want to go on the field of battle?)

Hell, that idea could win me a Nobel Prize! A couple of them!

Just thinking ... :p
 
I think that should be banned by the Geneva accord.

Sounds more inhuman than chemical or bio weapons.

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guessed it, it is a stun gun, where the two wires are replaced by two laser beams that conduct electricity by ionizing the air. Somebody already has a patent on it. Except the laser beam, everything is exactly like a stun gun. The distance depends on the energy lvel of the laser and the applied voltage. How neat....

how do you make the lasers ionize air?
 
how about a virus or nanobug that can wipeout every human on the face of the earth very fast.

perhaps the survivors if any, will learn that figthing each other is pointless in the end
 
I think the most important tech. advance in the next century will be with ICBM's. The Russians are developing a manoeuvring warhead for their SS-27's:

A mock-up of the planned design was delivered to Plesetsk in 1994. The system was to include a new manoeuvrable MIRV dispenser bus to defeat American anti-ballistic missile defences. In order to thwart and American boost-phase intercept, the Topol-M went through its main stage burns and dispensed its warheads in only a fraction of the ten minutes required for an R-36M liquid propellant rocket to accomplish the same task.

VNIIEF was responsible for design of the warheads and NPO Soyuz for the three single-nozzle solid rocket motors, using ammonium perchlorate oxidiser and synthetic rubber binder. A total of 142.8 billion roubles was budgeted to cover costs through the first test flight. The graphite composite details of the rocket and the container-launcher were designed by TsNII Spetsmash. The mobile transporter included a new microprocessor-controlled control system. The system was designed for a 15 year storage life, ready to launch in the silo

Interesting to say the least, if the Russians can actually pull it off, America's NMD will surely never work (it doesn't now anyways). If the Chinese and other states get this tech into their hands, it changes the balance of power yet again.
