Bulletproof vests are very important and I hope you don’t have to use them in your lifetime because using them means you are being shot at. You cannot always control the action of others so you need a means of protection like a bulletproof vest until you decide to return action in kind and amount.
This conceptual design is one of the futuristic designs in my thoughts.
My design is for an E- VTOL ( ELECTRIC- VERTICAL TAKE OFF LANDING) Vehicle, which can operate in small areas, without using a runway. Takeoff and landing is done at the same place using turbopropellers, and maneuvering at low altitude, and maintaining safety.
In my thoughts,
My lengthy searching of Plato's works, resulting in the Discovered Invention of a New Polyhedron the “GENERATOR POLYHEDRON” [2017 –a Non-Regular Icosahedron, Relating the 5 Platonic Polyhedron] together with my own parallel considerations and questions for the actions and mechanisms of the Galactic Spirals,
The main purpose of project prObe is to design and develop a next-gen aerial autonomous robotic platform (UAV), for extreme and challenging environments. Capable of undertaking high quality data acquisition activities, for inspection and decision-making operations.
The concept lies within propulsion system hidden inside spherical shape which enable device that will be safer for human environment.
The very first new evolutionary spaceship technology has been rolled out for mass production!
