A Potential For Flying Transport
Well, isn't it a dream come true if we could travel by air in a close-to silent and pleasantly comfortable vessel from A to B. I had some thoughts about using solar power and transforming this to drive anti-gravity, as in lower heights the air is dense enough to use transformation to hydrogen and heating could be done by solar power.
Researchers at MIT Newly discovered material that has properties of higher absorbing ratio for solar energy and, quote; "another key characteristic of the new material, Chou says, is that it is well matched to existing manufacturing technology", well it seems to be good news. Also possibly related research is the attempts of artificially nearing nature's photosynthesis due to its high potential compared to older solar panels of absorbing light from the sun.
As Quote: "Graphene developers edge towards new breakthroughs", "7 times lighter than air". I would say Graphene could potentially be used for/in such vessels, the lighter it is the easier to lift it from ground.
If combined panels or covering of surfaces or a set of surfaces were aimed and in-flight re-aimed towards the sun (or one could have storage need if sunlight wasn't present) one could imagine a gyroscope body with an inside automatically adjusting in a pleasant balance for passengers, while the outside received the solar energy and the underside was a combination of targeted solar energy to create heat, while transforming f.ex. water or other substance to hydrogen or other substance to create the lift from the ground, for now a rough idea that needs more brainstorming and sketch work.
