Plane stupid protests

Today the entrance tunnel for Heathrow airport was blocked up by protesters using a van because they don't want a third runway at Heathrow airport because they are worried about climate change. Hundreds or even thousands of people were missing their flights.

I have two issues with this,

Firstly there is no evidence that adding a third runway will effect the environment. The number of planes that exist in the world are the same. If there are 20,000 air planes flying now there will still be 20,000 air planes flying if the 3rd runway is built. Would a third runway not help the environment because there would be less planes loitering in the sky. It is the same logic with the motorways; Protestors tried to stop the motorways being built but the motorways help the environment because they allow large volumes of cars to stay in 5th gear. If the motorways were not there then all those cars would drive from city to city in lower gears and burn more fuel.

Secondly, many people are going to miss their flights and those people will need to pay for another flight. The protestors  are making other people suffer because of their concerns. This is not fair because some of those people don't have much money and may need to stay in a hotel until the next flight if it is to a remote place.

Boris bike road

Some people seem to like the Boris bike road and others seem to hate it.

I never used it so I don't know..

If I designed a bike road it would be a little bit different .

I would have a raised platform built over the foot path for the cyclists to ride on with a small ramp at the end of the street for the cyclists to enter it...

And

The raised platform would have a cover over it to protect the cyclists from the elements. The material of the cycle road would be a translucent plastic so it allows brightness in and keeps wind and rain of the pedestrians and cyclists heads.

Stabbing, my solution

My solution to young men stabbing or shooting other men is hospital Baby Scanners. Baby scanners  emit high frequency sound waves that bounce off the body of the unborn baby to reveal the baby on a screen.

If you could make a similar machine but modify the frequency of the sound waves so they travel through the air and human body but bounce off hard objects like guns and knives then concealed weapons  would become visible. You would then see all people that are carrying a knife or gun walking down a street. Software could be running behind the sound camera system that would recognise a weapon and raise a flag to arrest the person with a concealed weapon. Sound waves are harmless so they can be used freely in public places like streets and park entrances.

Could the solution be as simple as that. Is it possible that modifying an existing technology solve our civilian weapon problem? 

Smart metres

I have seen a smart metre in action, the device actually tells you how much power you are using all the time and it tells you how many killos of CO2 gas is being released to power your home every hour. And it tells you in real time how much money is being used to power your house.

By turning different devices on and off you can see how much power they are actually using by looking at the change in power usage.

The metre has 2 parts a wireless display unit and a smart box that automatically sends a metre reading to power company. The wireless display unit can be placed anywhere in the home.

The thing that uses the most power is still the light bulb because it stays on for a long time despite there being super bright LED lights that only use 10 watts. You can have a 2500 watt kettle on for 2 minutes and that would cost about one pence.

I am very pleased that we are switching to LED bulbs because they last a very long time and use half the power of a normal light bulb

HIV virus

The HIV virus is a virus that infects the immune cells and destroys them leaving the infected person with little or no immune system.

Like all viruses the aids virus does not absorb anything and is a lifeless dormant particle when it is outside of the victim cell. Therefore it is impossible to poison it with antibiotics.

The virus is only alive and reproductive when it reaches the nucleus of the host cell. It is created by the host cell. Everything that the virus does is powered by the body and tissues.

It is chilling to think that the virus exploits the body in so many ways. It is moves around because the bodies fluids push it and it is made by the host cell's nucleus. The virus never uses any energy and doesn't even use power to duplicate itself.

Will bombing work

No,

Bombing does not work. Need to make robots that assassinate the bad guys and leave the civilians unharmed. Simples.
