New Small and Micro UAVs propulsion concepts and technologies to enable security forces to scout out buildings for urban combat and counter terrorist operations.

A miniature UAV or small UAV (SUAV) is an unmanned aerial vehicle small enough to be man-portable. Miniature UAVs range from micro air vehicles (MAVs) that can be carried by an infantryman, to man-portable UAVs that can be carried and launched like an infantry man-portable air-defense system. The term is …

Antigravity Technology and Military’s anti-gravity research programmes including Disclosure Project

In Newton’s law of universal gravitation, gravity was an external force transmitted by unknown means.  In the 20th century, Newton’s model was replaced by general relativity where gravity is not a force but the result of the geometry of spacetime. Under general relativity, gravity is the result of following spatial geometry …

Solar fiber optic lighting for daylighting of high-rise intensive buildings and military shelters

Conventional daylighting scheme employing windows and skylights are no longer so useful especially for daylighting of high-rise and intensive buildings. Residential buildings with limited natural lighting are generally lit by fuel-based electricity which contributes to increase of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Alternatively, the concentrated solar energy can be transmitted …
