Understanding drones

Drones are the mention of today's world with some companies like

Amazon showing vested interest in cmmercialising the maachines.The

question is however,what is a drone and how did they come about?< > A

drone in the real worl is a male honey bee.In the tech world, a drone

is an unmanned aircraft commonly referred to as UAV(Unmanned Aerial

Vehicle).The construction of the drones started in 1960 after the

United States air forces intensfied efforts to prevent their pilots

from death during war. The first was created in 1964 and took part in

the Vietnamese war.However, drones had been created since 1935 by

Germans,French but were less remote controlled. < >Drones have been

used for surveillance by the USA and taken part in wars in Indian war

in 1972,currently in Afghanistan and Somalia. < >About 45 countries

use the drone nowadays but mostly for surveillance and research as of

2013.Advances in technology include less remote control. However their

commercialisation is under sharp criticism as legislation to the

matter is underway.Some civil groups think it could one day turn

tragic for the world if such machines should be left to hover

around.Something like the I-robot movie: ''robotic revolution against

the human race''.

Amazing lego air-powered car

Air powered cars have once been my idea when I worked on a balloon powered car project.I presented it on science congress contest upto the District level.It was not a welcoming idea since my concept was not well developed.It only featured a ballon for propulsion. The lego air powered car invention is definitely a breakthrough for a group funded project.It is said to be built with 500,000 legos except for the tyres.The inventor claims that he was neither a technology nor a lego enthusiast!!!

Engine consists of pistons to compress air which maybe, provided the desirable kinetic energy(energy in motion).This energy propels the car forward.Ho...

Click Amazon image to purchase product.                                 Some of the fifth generation jets include the F35A, F35B, F15 and Sikhou russian jet.The developer of the F35 planes is the Lockheed Martin company.The company won tender for production of F fighters against their rivals Boeing, in 2004 when both firms designed an aircraft to display at a competition organised by NSA. Features F35's are the fastest aircrafts in the present times.Lockheed Martin increased their speeds from previous F15 by 2sec, 12sec and a whooping 43sec for the F35A, F35B, F35C warplanes respectively. The aircraft offers lightning speeds especially, when evading both surface to air and air to air missiles.This is because of the high thrust released by the engines enabling supersonic speeds...
