By 2009, Bolonkin held 17 patents. Among his innovations in space exploration are a cable space launcher, a hypersonic tube launcher,[11] a kinetic anti-gravitation system,[12] a multi-reflex propulsion device,[13] space towers, an electrostatic solar sail, an electric ramjet space propulsion device, and the cable aviation[14] device.[5] In an Izvestia interview in 1998, he predicted the achievement of cybernetic immortality by 2020,[15] and in 2011 he was consulted as an expert by the 2045 Initiative.[16] He also developed the idea of domed cities as a protection against fallout,[10][17] and in physics researched the production of what he called "AB-Matter" through femtotechnology.[10]
