IF BLACK PANTHER AND ITS TECHNOLOGY EXISTED?

If you are a superhero fan, then you must be familiar with the Marvel's crowned head superhero, the King, "The Black Panther". Black Panther was the first film in Marvel Cinematic Universe to win an academy award. But what made the film so special that surprised the critics and happened to be a spectacular triumph. Well it was Wakanda, the kingdom ruled by T'Challa aka Black Panther. The place itself was so astounding and delievers a whole new world to the viewers. A world that deals with some futuristic gadgets and technologies that one could only imagine now. But do you know how these technologies and gadgets work? Are the really possible to be made out of the reel world? 

Here we've explained  some well liked techs from Wakanda:

MAGNETIC SUBWAY

THERE ARE SEVERAL REFERENCES TO THE FUTURISTIC VEHICLES IN THE FILM, BUT NONE OF THEM GOT MORE SCREEN THAN THE HIGH-SPEED MAGNETIC LEVITATION SUBWAY THAT RUNS THROUGH WAKANDA'S FAMOUS MINES. LIKE MOST TECH IN WAKANDA , LEVITATION RAIL SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED BY SHURI (KING T'CHALLA'S SISTER).  BLACK PANTHER'S DIRECTOR RYAN COOLER HAS SAID IN AN

 INTERVIEW THAT BART(BAY AREA RAPID TRANSIT) OFFERED SOME INSPIRATION FOR THE DESIGN OF THE FICTIONAL SUBWAY BUT WON'T BE ABLE TO TELL BY SIMPLY COMPARING THE SPEED ,EFFICIENCY AND THE INNOVATION OF THE TWO RAIL SYSTEM. ELON MUSK, THE CEO OF SPACE X IS WORKING ON IT FOR BUILDING THE HYPERLOOP , A HIGH SPEED VACUUM THOUGH THE TECHNOLOGY IS STILL IN ITS INFANCY BUT SPACE X HAS BEEN HOSTING STUDENT PROTOTYPE COMPETITION AT ITS HEADQUARTERS IN CALIFORNIA TO SPEED UP THE RESEARCH PROCESS ,ACCORDING TO SPACE X WEBSITE.

REMOTE PILOTING

IN THE MOVIE BOTH SHURI AND CIA AGENT EVERETT ROSS ARE SHOWN DRIVING A CAR AND FLYING A PLANE RESPECTIVELY FROM A REMOTE LOCATION.

MANY CONSUMER USE DRONES WHICH ARE OUTFITTED WITH VIRTUAL REALITY (V.R.) HEADSET THAT ALLOW THE REMOTE PILOTS TO VIEW WHAT THE DRONE CAMERA SEE IN FLIGHTS ALSO KNOWN AS THE FIRST PERSON VIEW.THIS METHOD IS MOST POPULARLY USED IN DRONE RACING IN WHICH COMPETITORS RACE HIGH SPEED QUAD COPTER DRONES THROUGH A SERIES OF OBSTACLES COURSES, THE DRONE PILOT WEAR V.R. HEADSETS AND USE THE DRONES CAMERA VIEWFINDER TO SEE WHAT THE DRONE IN ORDER TO MAKE THE FASTEST AND SHARPEST TURNS POSSIBLE.THERE ARE ALSO PLENTY OF TOY DRONE AND VR HEADSET PACKAGE WHICH ALLOW THE USER TO GET A BIRD'S EYE IN REAL VIEW TIME,OF COURSES CURRENT V.R. PLATFORM ARE NOT NEARLY IMMENSE OR AS IMPRESSIVE THE TECH SHOWN IN BLACK PANTHER MOVIE IN WHICH THE PILOTS WERE ENTIRELY SURROUNDED BY A REAL TIME SIMULATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT THE USE OF A HEADSET ,BUT ITS STILL PRETTY COOL AND MAY BE IN FUTURE WE CAN ACHIEVE IT.

VIBRANIUM 

ACCORDING TO MARVEL COMICS, VIBRANIUM IS THE MOST AND THE STRONGEST RESILIENT METAL ON EARTH. THIS FICTIONAL ELEMENT IS USED TO MAKE WEAPONS INCLUDING CAPTAIN AMERICA'S SHIELD AS WELL AS VEHICLES AND THE OTHER TECH THROUGHOUT WAKANDA. IT IS ALSO STITCHED INTO BLACK PANTHER'S SUIT MAKING IT BULLETPROOF AND GIVING T'CHALLA THE ABILITY TO ABSORB THE ENERGY FROM THE BLOW. HE SUSTAINS AND RELEASES THAT ENERGY WHEN NEEDED.

APART FROM THE FICTIONAL ELEMENT, THERE EXISTS A REAL ELEMENT IN REAL LIFE WHICH COULD BE A GOOD ALTERNATIVE OF VIBRANIUM. AND HERE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GRAPHENE.

ALTHOUGH VIBRANIUM HAS A FEW PROPERTIES THAT ARE NEARBY IMPOSSIBLE TO EMULATE IN REAL LIFE, MOST EXPERTS(YES ,SUPER HERO EXPERTS) AGREE THAT GRAPHENE IS A COMPARABLE REAL LIFE COUNTERPART.

GRAPHENE MAY NOT LOOK LIKE MUCH ,BUT IT HOLD THE TITLE OF THE STRONGEST MATERIAL EVER TESTED  AND ITS IS 10 TIMES MORE BULLETPROOF THAN STEEL AND PRACTICALLY INVISIBLE DUE TO ITS UNIQUE ATOMIC STRUCTURE.BUT THE DRAW BACK OF GRAPHENE IS THAT IT IS  HARD TO MAKE AND IN SHORT AVAILABLE.

 

KINETIC ENERGY STORAGE & DISTRIBUTION

 BOTH T'CHALLA'S PURPLE PANTHER AND GOLDEN JAGUAR SUIT FEATURES A WELL KNOWN COMIC BOOK SUPERPOWER THAT HAD YET TO BE EXPLORED IN THE MARVEL MOVIE  SERIES OF BLACK PANTHER. IT HAS THE ABILITY TO STORE KINETIC ENERGY SUSTAINED BLOW FROM BULLETS OR EXPLOSION AND THEN EXPEL THAT STORED ENERGY WHILE ENGAGED IN A FIGHT. THIS ALLOWS THE WEARER TO CHARGE UP 

THE SUIT AND LATER ACTIVATE THE KINETIC ENERGY TO DELIVER VERY FORCEFULL SUBSONIC HITS TO THE SURROUNDING ENEMY WHILE TAKING VERY LITTLE DAMAGE TO HIMSELF.

OF COURSE THIS ABILIY IS TOTALLY RELIANT ON THE PRESENCE OF VIBRANIUM IN THE SUITS AND IS ONE OF YHE MORE FAR FETCHED TECHNOLOGICAL CONCEPTS DISSCUSSED IN THE FILM.

 THANKYOU FOR READING, HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED IT.
