Mow Your Lawn At the Speed of Light Booze!
Have you heard of the laser lawn mower they have? It's priced at $40,000 and it mows the grass without mulch, is silent, and you can also drive it through the village and up a super highway without being arrested for mowing at 90 m.p.h.! Another way to mow lawns without even using a mower has been devised. Like the Army's new laser cannon that can burn holes in a tank from 5 mi. away at the speed of light, small lasers could be clamped on the porch and aimed right to the point on the lawn where the grass was to be cut in just a minute or so. Like the gamma knife, a new laser machine doctors use with more than two hundred lasers, the beams are low enough energy before they meet (so the cat could run between the laser and the lawn without Extra Crispy heat!). The gamma knife may be used to actually remove do surgery down to the cellular level without damaging intervening tissue, and without minimal bleeding it uses no anesthesia much, so the patient can leave the hospital after cancer or other surgery in just days. The stationary lasers clamped on the roof would cut the lawn with power and also be safe because only right up to the final centimeter there would be lower levels of power. Like laser dental drills where water is converted to steam and this does the drilling, to cut the grass may have to be moistened a bit but the herb is moist already, this way it wouldn't cause a wood fire on the lawn or the Royal Moat! To minimize the risk of radiation more if necessary the lawn may be mowed in the PM.
AIRBAGS, BOATS, HELICOPTERS, PLANES, ALL WHILE AT LUNCH This issue of Popular Science (May 08 pg 39) has this road machine mostly made of airbags on the outside in the shape of what looks like sort of a 70's Porche. It weighs about 500 pounds so so it can travel 400 mi. at 65 m.p.h. on a single charge of the its replaceable modular hydrogen batteries, just throw five more batteries in the trunk to go over the ocean and through the woods to grandmother's resort in Alcapulco! It's not coincidence and a roulette wheel I mentioned the ocean here because with its reduced weight and toughness I think it would be a real car boat (to prove toughness they drove it off a 25 ft. high cliff without an acci-dent other than an advertisement-we see Business like this all the time on the radio when the Bromo Fizz Always Wins.). "Caught a tight parking space? Just deflate the nose and fold it up for more room! Onboard Air pumps puff the car back to its normal pressure."

And not only would it make a good car boat, a good use of the new higher powered turbine engines would be to move the air over a narrow wing above machine this would lift it up in the air without having to drive all the way to the the airport when on the giant superhighway to the afterlife with cup holders on high and with more stability and no wide wings but not like in the invention history of car planes always were too big to be a road warrior and not big enough to be a plane. This would actually be a more robust machine like the helicopter motorcycle they recently devised to zoom above the road at 6 oclock after labor except being larger it would probably be more stable. If airbags were used for airplanes generally in an a nimble enough machine they would make it crash survivable, or even just bounce up in the air! (General motion by large airbags or other absorbers to slower by smaller absorbers to exactly stop the motion without harm) If the airbag car crashed in the ocean, the car boat function would be of worth. Other than the more robust power necessity of the Helicopter/Plane which would be via fuel like air fuel, the car could remain of small weight, and would just perhaps carry some fuel sometimes. This would seem a problem in the wind on the road, but new patents on technology using stabilizers may make it more viable. These stabilizers are essentially an oscillating slice of a wheel of mass with a centrifugal force of the oscillation aimed downward to the road without the force cancelling in all directions around the wheel and so aimed where we want it to go to add road adhesion when we want it with mass still held low. Another way to add inertia may be gyroscopes that spin in opposite directions with some left over force where we want it to go, they use these on satellites.

Finally, a way to increase the inertia itself of gyroscopes on motors of all types still with lightweight has been devised, using solitons. Solitons are a type of wave that moves forward just the right speed relative to the wavelength so the force that would have been dispersing it is instead replaced by the force of the wave at that point where it is cohesive, so the wave travels farther without loss of power. This is why a phone call all the way round the world now costs just a bit, the light wave in the fiber is more robust so it's cheaper. If the solitons all the way around a wheel are of just the right wavelength to match all the way around in the magnets or wires, they too might spin around farther with less power, making electric motors and gyroscopes more efficient for the weight which it is thought would be lighter, thus making flywheel power for vehicles or other use viable by making it so it's enough to perhaps solve what's been a major problem for flywheels high speed explosion caused by the spin. And of course this use of solitons would apply not only to the air bag car/boat/helicopter/plane's turbines, motors and traction machines, but also to many linear and other machines where more inertia for less weight would be of worth.

Popular science says "The air bag car which will go in sale for $3000 in Southeast Asia where road safetly laws are less stringent" I think could be made safe enough by use of the traction machines to be sold well in the US. and it is believed the other additions would be actually viable, they use simple cheap powerful science.
