I Was Thinking... About Flying Cars, Free Energy, and the Future!

 

Ever since I was little, my mind has been filled with ideas that seem like science fiction. Lately, I've been thinking about them again. I look at the technology we have now, and I find myself asking big questions. I'm not an engineer, but I want to explore these thoughts.

I Thought: Can Cars Charge Wirelessly Like My Phone? 🚗⚡

I was looking at my wireless phone charger and it hit me: why do we still have to plug in our cars? I imagined just parking my car and having it charge automatically.

So I looked into it, and I found that this is absolutely possible! The technology is called electromagnetic induction, and it's already being tested for cars. There are even ideas for special roads that could charge a car as it drives.

But then I wondered why it's not everywhere. I found a few reasons:

  • Cost: I learned that it's incredibly expensive to build these charging pads into our roads and parking spaces.

  • Efficiency: A lot of energy gets lost in the air between the pad and the car. A simple cable is still better at getting all the power into the battery.

  • Power: I found that cars need a massive amount of energy, far more than a phone, which makes the technology harder to perfect.

So, the idea is real, but it seems we have to wait a little longer for it to become common.

I Thought: Why Can't We Have Free, Limitless Energy? ☀️💨

My mind then went to renewable energy. I had this creative idea of putting "underwater moulin" (underwater mills) alongside roads to capture energy from water. Why can't we have huge, powerful sources like this that are always free?

I found that the source of the energy—the sun, the wind, the moving water—is indeed free. The problem isn't the source, it's everything else.

I found that we have to pay for the technology to capture the energy. The solar panels, the wind turbines, and even my underwater mills all cost a lot of money to build and maintain. Then, we need the entire grid of power lines to move the energy and giant batteries to store it for when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing.

That’s also where I found AI comes in. I used to think AI regulating energy was just a movie plot, but it's real. AI is being used to build a "smart grid" that makes our energy use much more efficient, which is a huge step forward.

I Thought: Unbreakable Wheels and Flying Cars! 🚀

My imagination didn't stop there. I was thinking about everyday problems. Why do we still get flat tires? Couldn't we invent wheels that can't break?

I found that people are already on it! Companies are making airless tires that can't be punctured. They look like something from a sci-fi movie, but they're real.

And then I had my biggest thought: why are we still on the ground? I found that the idea of using electromagnetism to make a car fly is based on a real technology called magnetic levitation (Maglev). It's what those super-fast trains use to float above their tracks.

So, could we use it for cars? I found that the challenges are gigantic. The energy needed to lift a car would be immense, and we would have to rebuild every single road into a complex, expensive magnetic track. It’s an amazing dream, but one that is still very far in the future.

Even if some of my ideas are not practical yet, I found it incredible to learn that scientists and engineers are already working on so many of them. It shows that we should never stop imagining. After all, today’s science fiction is often tomorrow’s reality.

The History of HTML: Inspired by Open Source

The History of HTML: A Journey Inspired by Open Source and Innovation Introduction The web is a testament to human ingenuity, and at its core lies HTML—a language that has transformed how we share, learn, and connect. As someone passionate about applied science and the endless possibilities of technology, I embarked on a journey to create a custom HTML IDE (Integrated Development Environment). This project not only reflects my love for innovation but also my belief in the power of open-source collaboration. Join me as I explore the history of HTML, its impact on the world, and how this project is a stepping stone in my quest to become a researcher in applied science. The Birth of HTML: A Revolution in Communication In 1991, Tim Berners-Lee, a visionary scientist at CERN, created HTML (HyperText Markup Language) to solve a simple yet profound problem: how to share information seamlessly across the globe. What started as a modest set of tags— <p> ,  <a> , and  <h1...
