Solar plane remains the air for 26 hours

Some of you may remember when we first discussed the Solar Impulse, and how he managed to make a long flight of 87 minutes at 5,000 feet. I have learned that the Solar Impulse has 26 hours in the air and reached a height of 28,543 feet.

I think I mentioned a few months ago they were waiting for a flight 36 hours to their next stop, and I'm not sure that he or reduced flight exceeds expectations.

Some of you are probably wondering how the Solar Impulse could his historic flight of 26 hours, if not 26 hours sunlight on a given day. The answer is simple: the batteries. I'm not sure whether these batteries have been loaded before or during the flight, though.

Anyway, this proves that solar power is a power source set to the respiratory tract, could change almost everything! Assuming that the program is still on the right track, there is a plan to get the Solar Impulse in 2012 worldwide.

Of course you realize that the Solar Impulse is a small aircraft with 12,000 solar cells, and a jumbo jet would all be much heavier. In other words, there are a lot of bugs to solve, before we fly a sky solar friendly.

Then our roads are to help the world green?

The next time you pull a disk, closer to the street, where is your car on the road. “How do you think he will be able to help to transform the environment in a cleaner environment? Well, we know that carbon emissions from vehicles is a major problem these days is not spewing a number of other nasties from the Embedded fossil-fuel vehicles powered exhaust is mentioned. belong Under these nitrogen oxides (NOx), and when it reacts with chemicals produced by the sun, nitric acid is formed, a major component of acid rain, is if in turn reacts with sunlight to form ozone and Smog make. How we humans live in areas with high traffic, we are constantly bombarded with higher amounts of nitrogen oxides in the air, which may struggle to damage to the respiratory tract. How to be against such a dilemma? The answer lies in patches with clean air in concrete, resulting in a decrease in the concentration of nitrogen oxides by 25% to 45%.

The municipality of Hengelo, Netherlands, have attracted researchers from the Technical University Eindhoven (TU / e) to about 1000 square meters of road surface employs Castorweg, concrete stone cleaner air, said during a different area of 1,000 square meters was covered with cobblestones normal. It goes without saying that to do the actual ex-titanium dioxide, a material that photocatalytic their part in removing nitrogen from the air and convert them into harmless nitrate using sunlight, where nitrate is then rinsed contains resulting from the rain be. After a trio of measures on air pollution Castorweg last spring (which means that the test went throughout the autumn and winter), the paved surface Concrete air purifier NOx content was lower in 25% to 45% less than the normal concrete paved area found. We wonder if future action will mean for the year a widening gap.

Who would have thought that our roads could not be a Life Saver / environment, have you? Cost is not really a problem, either because of the concrete-air cleaner uses 50% more expensive than regular concrete, but the cost of building roads that are 10% more.

Are you really so short a time that you still shave in the shower? Or is it a habit of yours to do, just because you prefer to be ruthlessly efficient.

Reflect is the last solution for such a dilemma to be met, especially when it merges both a shower and an anti-fog mirror. Equipped with a flat surface, the front reflection is doubled, the upper segment as a mirror, while the water will flow continuously five rows of holes on the lower segment. Before we get into these holes, but needs the hot water first trip through the upper part, the warm would occur to avoid condensation process. Pretty smart, do not you think? Although we are not sure whether the price of $ 295 worth of Reflect calculated after shaving a much cheaper solution – before shower.

Head-mounted camera, so that you can see how your mechanic is

We all had our car in the garage and got a bill that we knew was not synonymous with the service provided. Usually it is a very high price.

He made a vow that we look into this room and see exactly what made by the mechanic. That's what the Audi-Cam is for.

The Audi-CAM is a simple to develop with the camera to see exactly what the engineer sees his shoulder. This way you can see exactly what to fix the caretaker for the car.

The video is then streamed live, for you, and I guess you can register to be used in a process that later. In addition, you can create a two-way radio on the camera so that you also set chat with the mechanic as he or she works.

I'm not sure if this gives you a good relationship between you and your mechanic. This assumes you still have a relationship after he or she gives you a higher bill.

I mean, nobody wants to be micro-managed. I bet if you wanted to comment, the engineer would probably say he / she knows what he / she does, etc. I this location: “If you're so good in this view, why not fix yourself? ”

However, it is a step in the right direction for the supervision completed by your mechanic. This means that we want this.

Future Shop Robot helps you Furo

I saw a lot of robots, the alleged front of the driver, as the little red Santander Group City of Madrid. This is the future robot was designed to make shopping shopping then.

You will notice how the robot has a head which is nothing more than a television series, and its similarity animation may not understand how a man would seek to interact at all. There is a video after the jump, if you want to see more of her … it.

You will also notice how the robot future, or Furo, a screen mounted in his hands (and everything between them are). I think the screen is a touch screen so customers can make decisions from there.

I'm not sure what is the purpose Furo. I think if he was, then you can specify the type of touch, or somehow record the item you want, then Furo tell you where in the mall or department store the position. Perhaps an advanced model can even tell the buyer to pay by credit card, then the element can in the store waiting for pickup.

Most sources agree that the robot-robot persona a bit funny. I must admit that it reminds me of something Steven Spielberg's AI: Artificial Intelligence.

Teenager builds a flame thrower, are happy the parents?

I reported on gadgets DIY, and I celebrated the spirit of DIY. I'm kind of on the fence to celebrate it. Maybe I need to set aside my prejudices about young people, the flame throwers.

The saddest part is that this teenager, who goes by the name “Shock Slayer” probably more than I did in my youth by creating a flame thrower on his wrist.

I think I prefer those that a helicopter or a weather balloon, but as something that could be done as a weapon. However, I think that just because some children a flamethrower, does not mean that the child is a total pyro or something.

I quote from my source, which is a type of disorder.

Now SS did not find a constant source of ignition, so it has to start him with a flashlight, but as soon as it goes, it's certainly something that the fear in the hearts of the strike could be all those trying to mess with him.

In fact, it is very good to understand that he, like butane gas spray, hose, a nozzle and a mechanism to manage the finger controlled use.

This reminds me of something that X-Man Pyro, carried the X-Men movies, I do not think he could have started the fire, but he was unable to control it.

I also think it could probably Shock Slayer control of his plane, and I'm sure his parents taught him how to use it properly to such a device.
