There SEEM to be carbon-nanotubule vacuum-pustule black lighter than air craft that are powered by beamed microwave energy so that they can stay aloft indefinitely, and sometimes people get hit with the microwave beam.
“Carbon nanotube aerogels
- These are incredibly lightweight materials with a porous structure, a significant portion of which is empty space.
- They are formed from networks of interconnected carbon nanotubes (and sometimes graphene sheets), which are known for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, electrical conductivity, and thermal stability.
- While regular aerogels are already very light (and often referred to as “frozen smoke”), they still have air in their pores, which adds to their density and prevents them from truly being “lighter than air”.
“Lighter-than-air” via vacuum sealing
- The key to achieving “lighter than air” density in an aerogel is to remove the air from its porous structure and replace it with a vacuum.
- This is achieved by carefully processing the aerogel and then sealing it to maintain the vacuum, according to Physics Stack Exchange.
- By removing the air (which has its own density), the overall density of the aerogel can be made less than that of the surrounding air, creating a buoyant material.
Notable examples and characteristics
- Aero-graphite, developed by scientists at Kiel University and Hamburg University of Technology, is a prime example of a carbon nanotube-based material known for its extreme lightness.
- It’s reported to be 75 times lighter than Styrofoam and weighs a mere 0.2 milligrams per cubic centimeter.
- Another example is a carbon nano-sponge where the gaps between atoms are too small for air molecules to enter, effectively creating an internal vacuum, says futureworld.org.
- These materials not only offer low density but also exceptional strength, elasticity, and often, electrical conductivity.
- For instance, aero-graphite can be compressed 95% and still return to its original shape.
- Some carbon nanotube aerogels can also support thousands of times their own weight.
Potential applications
- The unique combination of properties, particularly extreme lightness and strength, opens up a wide range of potential applications.
- Green Transport Technology: Could potentially lead to lighter vehicle batteries for electric cars and e-bikes, improving efficiency.
- Environmental Remediation: Their high surface area and absorption capacity make them excellent candidates for cleaning up oil spills and filtering water, according to Inhabitat.
- Sensors: Their electrical conductivity and porous nature make them suitable for developing highly sensitive sensors, according to The American Ceramic Society.
- Shock Absorption: Research suggests they could be used in helmet liners and other protective gear due to their ability to absorb energy from impacts.
- Catalyst Supports & Electrodes: Their high surface area, electrical conductivity, and thermal stability make them appealing for energy storage and other electrochemical applications.
In essence
Carbon nanotube vacuum-sealed, lighter-than-air foams represent a cutting-edge area of material science. By harnessing the unique properties of carbon nanotubes and innovative processing techniques, researchers are creating incredibly lightweight, strong, and functional materials with the potential to revolutionize various industries. “
The Bob Lazar Link!
Bob Lazar liked to play with Aerogel at Area 51. It’s rather fascinating that Aerogel and the
future development of Aero-graphene is the ‘real secret technology’, not element 113!
there is a clear and innovative journey between the discovery of aerogel and the development of aero-graphene.
- Aerogel as the Foundation: Aerogel, first discovered in the 1930s, established the concept of ultralight, porous materials with exceptional properties like low density and excellent insulation. It demonstrated the potential of replacing the liquid component of a gel with gas to create a solid material with these unique characteristics.
- Seeking Enhanced Properties: Researchers continually sought to improve upon the properties of traditional aerogels, exploring different materials and fabrication techniques. This led to advancements like stronger polymer-reinforced aerogels developed by NASA, according to NASA (.gov).
- Graphene’s Rise and Integration: The emergence of graphene, a one-atom-thick allotrope of carbon, presented a new avenue for innovation. With its exceptional strength, conductivity, and other properties, graphene became a prime candidate for enhancing aerogel’s capabilities.
- The Birth of Aero-graphene: This innovative journey culminated in the development of aero-graphene (also known as graphene aerogel) in 2013 by scientists at Zhejiang University. It essentially combines the porous structure of aerogel with the remarkable properties of graphene.
- Innovative Advancements: Aero-graphene has surpassed previous aerogel records for lightness, becoming the least dense material known. It also boasts impressive strength (10 times stronger than steel) and elasticity, as well as high conductivity and absorption capacity. This innovative material has expanded the potential applications of aerogels into fields like:
- Oil spill cleanup: Its high absorption capacity makes it suitable for soaking up oil.
- Energy storage: Its conductivity makes it useful in supercapacitors and other energy devices.
- Water purification: It can be used to remove pollutants from water.
- Aerospace and defense: Its strength and light weight are valuable in harsh environments.
In essence, the development of aero-graphene represents an innovative leap forward in the field of aerogel research, leveraging the unique properties of graphene to create a material with enhanced performance and a broader range of potential applications.
Final Comments
This tech is largely being developed due to looming helium crisis, and while it’s not commonly known, ‘dirigible-type lighter than air surveillance craft’ seem to be commonly used by multiple governments, so this is the impetuous to the formation of this technology.
It might well look like a ‘dry cleaning bag’ BTW, like some of those ‘UFO pictures’.
Also of great importance, those ‘craft’ are just FUN to hitch a ride on, for sentient plasma you see! It filters out the dangerous UV light (why sentient plasmas tend to only come out and dusk and during the night), and provides a tasty snack as well, what with the beamed
plasma for the onboard accumulator capacitors, that power the fans for the slightly required forward motion for ‘lift’ and maneuvering.
These aero-graphene craft make a PERFECT platform of the accidental summoning hypothesis effects as well.
