So cool! I was thinking about birds flying earlier today. It's interesting that we use different techniques for drones - as they're also pretty light

Meet the robot bird that leaps into the air. Researchers at EPFL have developed RAVEN, a robot inspired by birds’ ability to seamlessly navigate land and air. With multifunctional legs, RAVEN can jump into flight, walk, and hop over obstacles—just like its avian counterparts. Jumping take-offs are not only faster but also more energy-efficient than traditional methods, making RAVEN ideal for tackling complex terrains. Could this bird-inspired design pave the way for more versatile multi-modal robots?

Avian biomechanics to walk, hop, and jump into flight. No runway needed. [Paper ⬇️] Inspired by birds, making take-off possible in tight spaces. Most drones need a smooth surface or a launcher to take off. RAVEN changes that by using birdlike legs to move across rough terrain and jump straight into the air. This makes drones more useful for deliveries, disaster relief, and inspections in hard-to-reach places. ✅ Walks, hops, and jumps like a bird ✅ Takes off without a runway ✅ Lightweight and energy-efficient ✅ Ideal for rescue, delivery, and inspections Project: Paper:

EPFL researchers have built a drone that can walk, hop, and jump into flight with the aid of birdlike legs, greatly expanding the range of potential environments accessible to unmanned aerial vehicles. RAVEN (Robotic Avian-inspired Vehicle for multiple ENvironments), designed based on perching birds like ravens and crows that frequently switch between air and land, the multifunctional robotic legs allow it to take off autonomously in environments previously inaccessible to winged drones.

The first integrated energy interconnection system in Beijing Daxing Airport City (BDAC) is now officially up and running! Here at the energy center serving both the comprehensive bonded zone of Beijing Daxing International Airport and the surrounding non-bonded areas, the system functions as an "energy super brain" powered by big data, coordinating heating, solar power, and EV charging across the region. Inside the dispatching center, a huge digital screen acts like the central nervous system, monitoring energy flows and making real-time adjustments to ensure efficiency and stability. The launch of this system not only improves efficiency and saves energy, but also delivers a green smart energy solution that can be replicated and promoted elsewhere. It is injecting steady, sustainable power into the high-quality development of BDAC.

As we all know, generating electricity is actually "boiling water". A large amount of waste heat from steam cannot be converted into electrical energy in this process. How to improve energy utilization efficiency? By using nuclear energy to supply steam and heat required in petrochemical production, The Tianwan Nuclear Power Steam Supply Project, "Heqi-1," achieves China’s first large-scale industrial steam supply using nuclear energy. It increases the actual thermal efficiency of nuclear power plants from 37% to 42% and creates new opportunities for energy conservation, carbon reduction.

Low-cost drones are increasingly targeting bases, energy sites, and infrastructure in the Israel–U.S.–Iran conflict. Traditional air defenses are too expensive to counter them at scale. Türkiye’s MKE developed the TOLGA system with an “effective, simple, and low-cost” concept, combining jamming (soft kill) and weapons (hard kill) to neutralize drones cost-effectively.

#WATCH | J&K: An Indian Army Major says, "In our Operation Sindoor, 'Akashteer' system has played the most important role. This system is a centrally automated command and control system that is integrated with all the air forces and the army radars... The enemy's drones came to our locations in a very large number. At that time, our Akashteer system declared them as hostile, and according to their location, the nearest weapon system was designated that you have to destroy them. Due to which we effectively destroyed all the drones that came into our territory. It was 100% effective. We destroyed all the drones and our mission and objective was not to let the enemy accomplish any of their objectives, we have been successful in it. This system is made in India. It is helping us to destroy enemy drones and aircraft in a good way..."

The next generation of drones will make the Shahed look like a toy Morphing drones that reshape themselves mid-flight to squeeze through tight spaces. AI-driven systems that learn and optimize their own flight paths in real time. 4D materials that respond to electromagnetic fields on the fly. A $30,000 Shahed-136 with fixed wings and a basic GPS already overwhelmed billion-dollar defense systems across the Gulf for three weeks straight. Imagine what happens when the next generation can dodge interceptors, adapt to obstacles, and think for itself... Source: Why it Matters Today

The ANCIENTS, it seems, had an 'understanding' of the DODECAHEDRON in the planets ENERGY grid system. Every side on the dodecahedron is a PENTAGRAM, and each of these sides contains the GOLDEN RATIO, which is a VORTEX. Many of us understand the 'vortex energy system' of this PLANE(T), and it appears the ANCIENTS did too. Laying out the great FUNCTIONAL ARCHICTECTURE and PYRAMIDS along this 'energy grid' to INTERCONNECT...but why? Did this energy system get 'knocked out' in a prior CATACLYSM, and was TESLA used to try and RECONNECT? Was this energy system MORE than FREE ENERGY... was it the ancient INTERNET?
