@richardbrand Wonderful, I hope Strong Caffeine Coffee in excess is responsible. My own moments of abstract are very much a case of Coffee being freely flowing.
As for non contactless, I'm almost there, I've successfully encouraged a think tank with very knowledgeable individuals about my proposed design for an anchored Micro Drone with a undercarriage that is a Cartridge.
The Micro Drone will be laser aligned to an Off Board sensor that reads its tracking and the ultimate goal is keeping it at a Zeptosecond accuracy to the selected RPM.
I'm struggling to decide if the Diamond Stylus will be bettered by an Optical Modulation reader. As the Optical will detect and read all contaminant.
Where as the Stylus is not effected too much by low micron dimension contaminant. The Stylus friction will be a concern for maintaining Zeptosecond accuracy, but this may be the compromise for the tradition of Gem Contact on a Modulation within a LP's Groove.
The traditional need for accuracy for SRA - VTA - Azimuth - Zenith - Tracking Weight will be corrected on the fly and tweaked on the fly literally.
Disclaimer: This is not entirely my idea, It has been communicated to me through a Parallel Universe, I occasionally find myself in a communication with.
In modern times it is inevitable the World has a future where humans are heavily populated, Drones Tech' will replace multiple traditional mechanical devices.
How much power is required and how they are powered is the concern, once they are proven as safe, more efficient and sustainable, the technology will commence to be the forefront of designs and force the obsoletion of older tech' designs.
Not so conceptual any more, A City Vehicle that does the following:
Drive for short periods on a tyre that is totally recyclable
Cruises on a Waterway on a foil that has zero impact as a wake that damages banking is not formed.
Flies over both Road and Waterways as the main intention of the design.
Drone Tech' carrying up to two passengers as a means to carry out local runs within the City, which is able to achieve 40 Knots per hour and have a 4 Hour Fuel Store.
Almost silent in use and for most of its time in transit is not in contact with a a Road or Waterway.
The question is, would a collision with a Pedestrian or Cyclist when on land be a higher risk of being fatal if the Drone dropped from 10ft - 3metres and collided with a individual.
If the Drone was limited to a 3ft - 1metre fly height when on land, the risk of Pedestrian Cyclist collision is a much increased likelihood, and frequency of collisions would be typical to regular vehicles experienced at the present.
At a 3 mtr Fly Height and roads prohibiting usual vehicles, there is the likelihood areas will be fully Pedestrianised.
The concepts of inner city transportation seen on Blade Runner and Star Wars are not too far into the future.
