The vulnerabilities of GPS systems have been noticed, and that system has many weaknesses. The use of satellites makes it vulnerable to ASAT (Anti Satellite)-missiles, and another kind of weapons. That's why the military forces of the world are looking for the replacement for GPS. Even if the new systems, what bases the jumping frequencies are more immune to jamming than old systems, the replacement, what does not need satellites are now under the development.

Quantum compass might replace the GPS because it's immune to jamming systems. The major weaknesses of the GPS are the system uses satellites for giving the position of the point. And this is why GPS is quite easy to jam, and the other weaknesses are that the system cannot be used in underground or EMP-protected places.

Also, northern lights are disturbing that device, because they form ion layer in the top of the atmosphere. This means that the operators, who use GPS must find another way to locate themselves. The answer in submarines has been to use the Inertial navigation system, what connects the information of the speed of the thing, what uses that system, and the gyroscope meters the direction of the ship or aircraft.  In modern gyroscopes, the layer would lay in the magnetic field, and it is rotating like in the electric motors. The lasers would observe the direction and positioning of that magnetic plate, what reacts extreme sharply in any changes in direction of the system.

By using this information can the computer map the position, if the beginning point of the journey is known in the vehicle. This navigation system can map the entire route of the navigated thing. But this system requires the begin location for mapping, or it is useless. This is the problem with this system. Also, the problem is to make it enough small that person can carry it in the pocket, and the need of speed information makes this thing hard to use in ground vehicles.  Setting the beginning point of navigation is also difficult if the person jumps by using a parachute, where the beginning point is hard to locate.

The answer for the problem could be the very sharp magnetic compass, what bases technology, where the layer is floating in the magnetic field, and the multiple lasers are observing the position of that thing. The new kind of systems might be the combination, where is magnetic and gyro compass working together. Those systems might be very small and that would make them very light and effective.

The magnetic version of this compass works with a similar principle with normal magnetic compass, and the system calculates the place of the system by using the angle of the north pole for locating the system. The difference between the Inertial navigation system is that the plate must be in a stable position. There would be extremely thin magnet nail on it, and that makes possible to locate the magnetic north pole very sharply.

If those systems are based with nanotechnology, where the plates are extremely thin, and the width will be the only couple of micrometers and the size is smaller than coin or even the thumbtacks, the system would be extremely small. But of course, the operator needs more information and one is the knowledge about where the system is. So the operator must put the state or some coordinates, where he might be, that the computer can locate the person. This might be the next generation locating system.

Fictional travel to Alpha Centauri by using laser boosted solar sail

NASA's solar sail

Kimmo Huosionmaa

In this text, I would think about fictional space trip to Alpha Centauri by using solar sails, what are boosted with laser or microwave beams. The use of lasers with solar sails would give very much improvements to that system. The problems with laser-systems are that the material of the targeted spacecraft would be heated in extreme temperature, but when we are thinking about the use of lasers as the improve the thrust of that very large sail, we must think this problem practically.


Big size of solar sails would allow that the heat of the laser rays would circulate in the larger area, and that would help to decrease the heat, what powerful lasers would send to the target.  Those lasers, what would be used in that kind of program, might be kilometers long, and they might be stationed near the Earth. Making those kilometers long free-electron lasers or powerful masers is a quite simple thing.


There must send many small satellites to space, and then those satellites must be connected together. In this case, those satellites would be equipped with the particle accelerator, what goes thru each satellite and then those satellites would be made very powerful ray, that can be targeted to the solar sail. In this case, the solar sail would be covered with ice, and that ice is no need to be made by water. Then the laser-ray would steam that ice, and that would improve the speed and thrust of the solar sail. This is the good thing to pump the energy for the spacecraft, that would send to Alpha Centauri in some day in future.  The use of lasers or masers would allow using the power source of the spacecraft with smaller power, and that would increase the system lifetime.


When we are thinking about the structure of that solar sail, we might think, that there would be very many small units in this probe, and it would look like some jewels are connected with the same spiders net and the miniaturization and multiplication of that system would improve the solar sails ability to survive that mission. And when this solar sai comes near Alpha Centauri, it would turn sideways to the star, and then increase the layer, what would face the solar wind of that star.  This would help it to transfer it to the orbital trajectory of that star.


And then it could send thousands of pea-sized miniature probes to the planets of that star. That would seem like science fiction, but using miniaturized probes that kind of mission would be done, and the destruction of one particle, would not destroy all probes, and this hypothetical mission would be accomplished surer than with one single probe.  There is only one problem with that system, those massive lasers can be mentioned as the military technology. And that would cause the resistance against this kind of projects.

Secret "antigravity" technology

Picture I

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The term "antigravity" means the actually silent way to raise the aircraft from the ground. In the real world, this term actually means that engineers try to repeal the magnetic field of the Earth, what would cause that the aircraft would rise above the Earth.  In some tests, there have been tested the magnets, what could push aircraft to airborne. They are actually one version of magnet catapults, but in this case, magnets would pull the aircraft straight to air, and in this system would be used the pulling effect between the same mark heads of the magnets.


And this kind of system is tested with levitating (Maglev) trains, where magnets push the train above the rail. Those magnetic rails would work the same way as gauss guns, where magnets will accelerate ammunition. Those magnets would be suitable to install in some warships or special runways, and they might help to send airplanes to air, with very heavy cargo. Also, pressurized air has been tested for giving airplanes capacity for lifting off with extra cargo, and in those systems, the pressurized air would blow under the body of aircraft by using compressors.

Sometimes there is mentioned the system called "Die Glocke" as one version of anti-gravity vehicle, and that is actually not true. This kind of systems are so-called "plasma-ion motors", and they are basically the same thing as ion motors. But they would use the greater density of ions. And those motors would work as the normal rocket or ion motors, but they are voiceless. Those motors would not use conventional combustion, and they can be used by giving electricity to that rocket with radio-masers. The same kind of systems are laser- and electric arc motors, what uses internal or external systems to make the warm air under the vehicle, and that heat would raise the aircraft to air.


Those internal lasers or radio systems could be targeted to carbon fiber stick, what would warm the air in the chamber under the craft. Or the electric arc can be made in the air, at the middle of the craft. In both versions, the problem of those systems is to create enough energy for raising that vehicle from the ground. The reason, why I took those laser and radio systems in this text at the same time,  is that both systems use electromagnetic radiation for making enough heat, that it can raise the craft in the air.


And sometimes there would be tested the airship, where the heat of the air can be made by using radio waves to make the warm air in this vehicles balloon.  So this kind of antigravity doesn't break laws of nature, and some of them are tested in public places, and below this text is one of those films, where the laser is used to give propulsion for small size test vehicle. And probably at someday, the full-scale system would fly across the earth.
