MIT scientists presented their prototype of a fascinating underwater camera on Monday. Rather than rely on battery power, this device gets juice from sound waves traveling through the ocean for its deep-sea image escapades. It even works in the darkest of environments.

Then it has the ability to wirelessly transmit all that photo data goodness back through the water to be reconstructed on a computer.

This means that if the model can be scaled up, it could spring humanity a few steps forward on the journey to achieving a massive goal: mapping every corner of Earth's oceans.

Though our beautiful planet's surface consists of a whopping 70% water (reminder, this doesn't account for depth) the research team estimates we've only ever observed less than 5% of the sea. And one reason, they say, for such lack of knowledge is viable underwater cameras are really hard to build due to battery restrictions.

Simply, a workable imager within the sea can't travel too far out from a ship without running out of power. It's also expensive to make a super long-lasting battery, and not time efficient to have to restart an expedition every time the camera at hand must be retrieved and recharged. Thus, the newly proposed sound wave-energized camera holds potential to be a game changer for deep-sea explorers.

According to an outline of the invention, published in the journal Nature Communications, the device can run for weeks on end before someone has to pick it up, allowing it to venture far out into the sea in just one go. It's also about 100,000 times more energy-efficient than other undersea cameras, the team said.

"One of the most exciting applications of this camera, for me personally, is in the context of climate monitoring," Fadel Adib, associate professor in MIT's department of electrical engineering and computer science, said in a statement. "We are building climate models, but we are missing data from over 95 percent of the ocean. This technology could help us build more accurate climate models and better understand how climate change impacts the underwater world."

For instance, this camera could easily capture images of ocean pollution, monitor the health of fish raised in aquaculture farms, where commercial fish breeding occurs, and maybe even indicate how sea habitats are evolving. Right now, oceans are warming too rapidly due to human-induced climate change, and underwater animals are being ousted from their homes, forced to relocate, and sometimes, strained to adapt far quicker than their bodies can handle.

As proof of principle, the research crew tested their mechanism to create color images of plastic bottles floating in a New Hampshire pond. They also captured images of an African starfish in such high resolution that you can see the tiny tubercles along its arms. Overall, it appears to be a solid pathway toward solving the underwater battery conundrum.

But perhaps even more exciting than the long-term implications of the team's camera is the absolutely remarkable way it works.

Turning sound waves into views

Basically, the team explained, this sound wave-powered camera takes advantage of noise that's already present under the sea. Passing ships, marine life, tides and other such things create sound. But what is sound, exactly?

Sound isn't an intangible force of some sort. Rather, it's the product of waves traveling through a medium and vibrating that medium on a super (super) minute scale. The medium could be air, water -- anything with atoms, really. When air vibrations hit our eardrums, for example, our brain translates the signal into what we consider sound. That's also why stuff sounds warped to us when we're underwater. Nothing is truly "warped," per se. Soundwaves just vibrate water molecules differently.

OK, so the important bit about this mechanism, for the team's new camera, are those vibrations.

The small device is encased in a special material that produces an electric signal every time it's hit by sound waves vibrating through the water. Those vibrations, in essence, vibrate it as well. Then, the vibrations are converted from mechanical energy into electrical energy, and there you have it -- a steadily powered underwater camera.

Further, to keep hardware light -- so the camera doesn't eat away at its power – the team used off-the-shelf imaging sensors and cheap flash instruments that can only capture images in grayscale. From there, they used sort of an old-fashioned way of obtaining a full-color image.

"When we were kids in art class, we were taught that we could make all colors using three basic colors. The same rules follow for color images we see on our computers. We just need red, green and blue -- these three channels -- to construct color images," Waleed Akbar, MIT researcher and co-author of the study, said in a statement.

First, the camera captures the image with a specifically tailored red LED light filter, then again with a blue filter and again with a green one. Put together, you get the full pic. Finally, all the image data is encoded in computer language, aka ones and zeros, and here's the kicker.

It's sent to a receiver back as soundwaves.

The camera receiver basically transmits its own sound waves to the camera, then the camera can either reflect the waves back or absorb them fully. Altogether, this creates a sort of binary code to tell the receiver what the image data really is.

"This whole process, since it just requires a single switch to convert the device from a nonreflective state to a reflective state, consumes five orders of magnitude less power than typical underwater communications systems," MIT researcher Sayed Saad Afzal said in a statement.

As of now, however, the camera only possesses a maximum transmission range of 40 meters from the receiver. But the team said it wants to increase both that range and the device's memory capacity going forward.

Eventually, they said, it could potentially capture real-time photos and perhaps even stream underwater secrets right to a computer.

Many ancient texts and Internet stories claim that humanity is the result of genetic mutation done to prehistoric humans by intelligent beings from outer space. Sitchin, who posed a great impact on the ancient astronaut theories, believed that an advanced race of intelligent beings arrived on Earth 450,000 years ago during the Age of Neanderthals, and through genetic engineering, they created modern-day human beings. Moreover, another theory that might support Sitchin’s claims is the mystery of Rh-negative blood which links humans to otherworldly origins.

“If mankind evolved from the same African ancestor then everyone’s blood would be compatible, but it is not. Where did the Rh- negatives come from? Why does the body of an Rh-negative mother carrying an Rh-positive child try to reject her own offspring? Humanity isn’t one race, but a hybrid species,” –Species with Amnesia: Our Forgotten by Robert Sepehr.

Rh-negative Alien Blood

Species with Amnesia: Our Forgotten History

The population with the highest concentration of Rh-negative blood type is located between the border of Spain and France in the Pyrenees mountain range. The people that occupy this isolated region are known as the Basque, and they have long confounded anthropologists and historians. The language spoken by the portion of the territory is not related to any other in that part of the world. Up to 35% of Basque people have an Rh-negative blood type that is least likely to mutate or interact with other blood types.

There are 8 most common blood types (A+, A-, B+, B-, O+, O-, AB+, AB-); a classification derived from proteins found on the surface of cells which are basically designed to wage war against bacteria and viruses in the human body. Around 85% of humans in the world are Rh-positive and have no issues receiving blood from positive or negative donors.

Whether Rh-negative blood is just a mutation or not is something that has caused debate among researchers. If it was a mutation, then why are the people who possess Rh-negative blood known for having extra vertebrae? This, just as the blood type, is explained scientifically as being a mutation. However, according to modern DNA sequencing, it is demonstrated that humanity is not just one single race that descended from the same ancestor in Africa, but a hybridized species, with a far more enigmatic truth behind it all.

The fact is if the mother is Rh-negative, her immune system treats Rh-positive fetal cells as if they were a foreign substance. The mother’s body makes antibodies against the fetal blood cells. These antibodies may cross back through the placenta into the developing baby. They destroy the baby’s circulating red blood cells. It suggests somewhere in our lineage that the Rh negatives and the Rh positives are perceived as being profoundly different.

Rh-negative is very rare. It was not spread across the world until colonization started in the 15th century. Rh-negative didn’t exist in the Americas, Southern Africa and Asia. It was only in Europe. According to scientists, modern humans arose in Africa at least 250,000 to 300,000 years ago. They are all Rh-positive. They do not have any Rh-negative, so from where did it evolve?

Robert Sepehr tells in his book “Species with Amnesia: Our Forbidden History” more about the enigmatic blood type Rh-negative. The author suggests that highly advanced civilizations had been on Earth before us, just to be destroyed by some great global catastrophe as mysteriously, history tells us.

Could the Rh-negative blood type offer evidence of a vastly different pre-human evolution than what we are led to believe in our history books? Might it offer indisputable proof of extraterrestrial intervention in the remote past? But if so, is the experimentation with intelligent hominid over, or is it still taking place?

Ancient Origins writes: “Indeed, it is amidst the Basque of France and Spain that we find an odd prevalence of one human blood type known as Rh-negative. The use of Rh here denotes “Rhesus,” as the origins of the blood type were labeled after a common factor shared between humans and the Rhesus monkey; today, the Rh blood group system is one of thirty of the existing current blood group systems recognized by science, of which close to eighty-five percent of humans have. 8 The most common manifestation of the Rhesus blood factor in humans is known as Rh-positive blood. By studying the common factors present between blood types of, for instance, humans and the Rhesus monkey, it becomes clear in terms of the genetic information present here that at some point in our ancient past, humans must have shared a common ancestor with this species of Old World monkeys.”

Sepehr argues that “highly advanced civilizations have been here before us, just to be destroyed by some great global catastrophe. But for each race that has died out, another has taken its place, with a selected few holding on to the memories and sacred knowledge of the past race. In our vanity, we think we have discovered some of the great truths of science and technology, but we are in fact only just beginning to rediscover the profound wisdom of past civilizations. In many ways, we are like an awakening Species with Amnesia, yearning to reclaim our forgotten past.”

Many believe that Rh-negative blood would be the legacy that the Anunnaki left on Earth among other things.
