NEWSCIENCENEWSCIENCENEWSCIENCE Exotic Devices of the Future The above examples are things that are foreseeable. Based on some of the observations of new technology devices and the theories that have been developed to account for the observations, it appears possible that there are some very exotic devices that can be developed, such as new communications devices and gravity- control devices, and new classes of weapons such as interference weapons—low-energy devices that stun or freeze people, automobiles or machinery. How long before these things might be developed, we can only guess. 00 (Source: Pure Energy Systems News, 29 March 20, PureEnergySystems.com; full article at tinyurl.com/6blt2xy) The Vorodo - a product from one of the first consumer level web-based 3D printing services.

It produces much heat with very little radiation that is easily shielded. The device is economical and compact, and an environmentally safe source of energy. It is estimated to produce energy for a tenth of current costs. One Focus Fusion Reactor the size of a gasoline service station could produce enough electricity for 40,000 homes. heard of the technology, it is well developed. Critical titanium parts for the Airbus are currently manufactured using a 3D printer, and desktop 3D printers are available at an affordable price, although some of the desktop models are designed only for plastic prototypes or scale models. One large industrial printer can print parts of titanium, stainless steel, glass, sandstone and plastic. Desktop machines are currently imited to only one or two materials. For short-run production, the 3D printer is the cost-effective way to go. The concept of 3D printing has expanded far beyond manufacturing, owever, and 3D printers for human skin or other organs have been in use or wounded military personnel. Also, a food printer that produces composite foods from canisters has been prototyped. The RepRap, short or Replicating Rapid-prototyper, is a practical, self-copying, 3D printer. The machine is distributed under an open-source licence (GNU General Public License). The second- generation model costs about $800, and it will copy its plastic parts which make up about half of the machine. are e Space energy conversion http://www. free-energy-info.co.uk/ Personal energy systems http://tinyurl.com/6ypc3}4 Commercially available devices http://tinyurl.com/6js2oxn e Brown's Gas http://tinyurl.com/5rd3ubd e Intelligent robots http://machineintelligence.atspace.com/ © Raphial Morgado — Massive Yet Tiny (MYT) Engine http://tinyurl.com/3maflal Three-Dimensional Technologies New technologies are concerned with more than just power in the form of heat, electricity or mechanical motion. One of the most amazing new technologies is the 3D (three-dimensional) printer, a new way to manufacture items. Instead of starting with a chunk of material and whittling away what you don't want (called "subtractive manufacturing’), a 3D printer starts with powders of materials and fuses them to form complex items (called “additive manufacturing").
