1. DARPA’s is seeking purpose-built unmanned systems for close air support, as well as unmanned versions of manned fighters, including the “QF-4, QF-16 and UA-10”. The QF-4 and QF-16 designates target drone versions of the original F-4 and F16 fighters, while the UA-10 is presumably a reference to an unmanned version of the A-10. The …
There are various drugs and procedures in clinical trials on humans to enable myostatin inhibition to boost muscles against muscle wasting diseases Boosting follistatin seems to be the more promising way to inhibit myostatin for effective muscle boosting effects Myostatin inhibition can be four times more effective at boosting muscles than high doses of steroids …
If the Mach Effect is real [mass fluctations) and behaves as theorized (with some experimental confirmation) by James Woodward and the effect scales up as expected then we can create propellentless space drive. It appears that the latest research work by James Woodward is validating the existence of the effect. STAIf 2007- Mach-Lorentz Thruster (MLT)Applications …
