Are you one of those who are stuck in the rat race for quality lifelong education but don't find the hassle of getting stuck in the jam while catching up with the night classes? If you are one of these people, then perhaps you can benefit from the new age learning environment: E-Learning.

Exercise Bike in the Moon Base Station

Should we use exercise bikes on the moon to stay fit? Should we collect the energy from all the pedaling to use for back up power or to top of the batteries? Well recently this subject came up in an online think tank and a guest said it was a dumb idea.

Abandoned Backpack Alert System for Transportation Assets

We need artificially intelligent video surveillance systems, which can spot and detect packages, which are left unattended at airports, train stations and on buses. How would such a system work? Well it would identify packages,

Abandoned Atmosphere and Biosphere II Program

The Biosphere II project was abandoned when the green house gases became too high and forced those inside to get out. In the future human colonies will have to worry about such things on other planets as well. Enclosed human habitats will need to replenish the oxygen and be sure to use the CO2 for something else or separate it out again.

UUV RFID Tagging of Sunken Ships

As we label and track all the space debris orbiting our planet, we too need to tag and track all the human debris scattered on the ocean floors. Why you ask? Well to prevent our underwater salvagers from wasting their time and to help us patrol what is down there and why.

High Energy Military Weapons to Take Out Locust Plagues

Locust Plagues are always serious and they cause extreme damage to crops, as they devastate the land. Can we use the United State's Militaries new high-energy laser weapons against swarms of locusts? Literally frying them?

Can We Use Sound Waves to Make Locusts Crash When Swarming?

Is there a way to cause all the locusts in a locust plague or swarm to crash? Can we cause structural failure in their wings using directed sound waves or sound energy? This subject was recently brought up in an online think tank while brain storming ways to stop locusts from devastating the countryside.

Can mankind stop locust plagues and swarms using a sound wall? Should we try? Well we have a lot to gain if it works do we not? Sure we do, think of the devastation these Locust Plagues cause our species? Can we build a sound wall that the insects will not wish to cross?

Giant Acoustic Arrays to Arrest Locust Plagues

One concept, which is being floated in the scientific community to stop locust plagues from devastating the landscape is to use directional sound beams to stop them as they fly and eat their way across the countryside?
