Building with 7000 Solar Panels

2009-04-18T10:30:00.001-07:00

The facade of this Manchester skyscraper (owned by CIS, an insurance company) was original covered with small mosaic tiles, but after only six months, they began to detach and go down. A solution was needed, and a company called solarcentury came up with a clever idea replacing the failing tiles with solar cells.

Not only do the solar cells provide a weatherproof barrier, they also generate about 390kW of power for the building. In total, 7,244 Sharp 80W modules are used to cover the entire service tower (but apparently only 4898 of these modules are "live" the others are "dummy modules" strange). The building also has 24 wind turbines on the roof, which provide 10% of the total power used by the building.

Parrot Teaches four year old Boy To Talk

2009-04-18T10:28:00.000-07:00

Dylan Hargreaves, four, is autistic and suffers severe learning difficulties. Until recently, he never uttered a single word. But several few months ago, his parents added a three-year-old blue-and-gold macaw to the family. They named him Barney, and suddenly, Dylan began to speak, repeating words that the parrot said.

After being tutored by Barney the parrot, Dylan says "Night, night", "Dad", "Mum", "Ta", "Hello" and "Bye".
"Barney has changed our lives. Before he arrived, Dylan would try to speak, but the sound came out as a noise," said Dylan's mother, Michelle.

Michelle believes that her son will soon be saying "Barney", because he loves his companion so much.

2009-04-18T10:25:00.002-07:00

The original passengers list of Titanic is now available on the internet!

Fully digitised images of the RMS Titanic's original 34-page passenger list are now available for the very first time online.

Its addition completes the set of passengers lists for the ships leaving the UK furing the decade 1910-1919, recently added to the ancestorsonboard.com collection. These images are available only at http://www.findmypast.com/, and are presented in association with The National Archives.

The original Titanic passenger list records the names, port of departure, occupation, nationality, age, class of travel, destination and country of intended future permanent residence of all who sailed on its ill-fated maiden voyage in 1912. Usually it costs up to £3 to view a single passenger list image (subscription access is available), but for a limited time only visitors will be available to view, print, save and download the Titanic passenger list free of charge. That's £100 worth of free images for all our visitors.

Marking the 95th anniversary of the ship's tragic loss, the online release brings the original documents together for the first time online and in print, as there are no images of the originals published in any media elsewhere.

Pieces of Titanic transformed into luxury watches

2009-04-18T10:24:00.000-07:00

Geneva watchmaker Romain Jerome has built a watch with steel and coal from Titanic.

Romain Jerome said it purchased a piece of the hull weighing about 1.5 kg (3 pounds) that was retrieved in 1991, but declined to identify the seller. The metal has been certified as authentic by the Titanic's builders Harland and Wolff.

To make the watches, which were offered for sale for the first time in Basel for between $7,800 and $173,100, the Swiss company created an alloy using the slab from the Titanic with steel being used in a Harland and Wolff replica of the vessel.

The gold, platinum and steel time pieces have black dial faces made of lacquer paint that includes coal recovered from the debris field of the Titanic wrecksite, offered for sale by the U.S. company RMS Titanic Inc.

The company will make 2,012 watches to coincide with the centenary anniversary of the Titanic's sinking in 2012.

IBEO Smart Car

2009-04-18T10:23:00.001-07:00

This car has laser sensors that act as "eyes" linked to an intelligent computer brain controlling its movements and has designed to cope with frenetic inner-city driving.
The laser-scanner eyes feed the electronic data of what they "see" around them into an on-board "black-box" computer.
This is linked to satellite navigation software and maps out a picture of the car's surroundings in a 200 yard radius - including road conditions, buildings, other vehicles and pedestrians.
Scanning the road ahead and behind, it can brake, accelerate, change gear and steer itself around rush hour traffic and obstacles, even reversing to get out of a tight spot.

World's largest display size based on polymer organic light-emitting diode

2009-04-18T10:11:00.000-07:00

Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology, has developed a 20.8-inch low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel to advance to the next-generation of flat-screen TV sets and monitors.

The newly developed panel demonstrates the world's largest screen size for polymer-type OLED display panels using LTPS technology, accomplished through the use of newly developed techniques for uniform coating of organic electroluminescent materials and the optimized combination of electrodes and organic materials.

Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology (TMD) has been concentrating its efforts towards the development of LTPS technology and OLED technology. Since the development of a 17-inch OLED panel in April 2002, which then was the world's largest screen size among OLED displays, TMD has been developing 2.0-inch, 2.2-inch, 2.5-inch, 2.8-inch, and 3.5-inch OLED panels ideally suited for cellular phones and compact mobile equipment and has been in mass production of 3.5-inch OLED panels.

New Engine Valve Control Technology (VVEL)

2009-04-18T01:44:00.001-07:00

Nissan has now announced a new method of valve actuation that delivers a balance of responsiveness and power, fuel efficiency and low emissions. The system combines Nissan’s new Variable Valve Event and Lift (VVEL) and continuous valve timing control (C-VTC) technologies to deliver significantly enhanced performance. A rocker arm and two types of links close the intake-valves by transferring the rotational movement of a drive shaft with an eccentric cam to the output cam. The movement of the output cam can be varied by rotating the control shaft within the DC motor and changing the fulcrums of the links. This makes a continuous adjustment of the valve lift possible. The advanced technologies will be made available initially through the Infiniti G37 coupe, scheduled to be unveiled at the upcoming New York International Auto Show next week. Nissan plans to install the VVEL system, which contributes up to a 10% reduction in carbon-dioxide emissions, on its products worldwide starting from FY07 under the Nissan Green Program 2010.

Cellphone Code Reader

2009-04-18T01:36:00.003-07:00

Software will let cell phones read bar code data on everyday objects from the Internet.
Media experts say that cellphones, are the Swiss Army knives of technology, are quickly heading in this direction. New technology, already in use in parts of Asia but still in development in the United States, allows the phones to connect with objects through the Internet.

“The cellphone is the natural tool to combine the physical world with the digital world,” that executive, Cyriac Roeding, the head of mobile-phone applications for CBS, said the other day.

In Japan, McDonald’s customers can already point their cellphones at the wrapping on their hamburgers and get nutrition information on their screens. Users there can also point their phones at magazine ads to receive insurance quotes, and board airplanes using their phones rather than paper tickets. And film promoters can send their movie trailers from billboards.

Wireless power and reality

2009-04-18T01:36:00.001-07:00

Energy without wires has always seemed like one of those novel concepts that sounds terrific in theory, but remains a tad difficult to imagine hitting the commercial scene for some time to come. Apparently, all that is about to become nonsense, as a Pennsylvania-based startup is set to capture the wireless-loving hearts of, um, everyone when it tackles contactless power products.

Powercast has already "signed nondisclosure agreements to develop products with more than 100 companies (Philips, for instance), including major manufacturers of cellphones, MP3 players, automotive parts, temperature sensors, hearing aids, and medical implants." The firm's radio-wave-receiving miracle device trumps existing attempts by "adjusting to variations in load and field strength while maintaining a constant DC voltage," essentially ensuring that only low wattages (read: the stuff that garners FCC admiration) are flung around. The system basically consists of two parts, a wall-plug transmitter and a "dime-sized receiver" that handles the real magic, and energy is instantly transmitted whenever that disc comes within a yard or so of its tag-team partner.

Incredibly, the receiver only costs "about $5" to produce, yet the outfit has already secured upwards of $10 million in private funding, which translates into one less American that desperately needs to win the lottery. Get ready folks, if all goes well, Powercast will be shipping "many millions of units" by the end of 2008 and maybe even sooner.

the world's first open-source car

2009-04-18T01:35:00.000-07:00

The world's first open-source car, was revealed at AutoRAI, the Amsterdam car show. The initiative and vision behind the c,mm,n (pronounced "common") comes from the "Stichting Natuur en Milieu" (The Netherlands Society for Nature and Environment) and the three technical universities of Delft, Eindhoven and Enschede.

The vehicle's technical drawings and blueprints are freely available online, and everyone is invited to add their own ideas and modifications, provided of course that these are shared again with the community.

Environmental sustainability was a key factor in the development of the c,mm,n: the vehicle is therefore a zero-emission, hydrogen-powered 2+2 family car. c,mm,n drivers can also easily share information on traffic conditions, route planning and parking availability.

Amoebalike Robots for Search and Rescue

2009-04-18T00:21:00.000-07:00

Roboticists at Virginia Tech, in Blacksburg, have developed a novel form of locomotion for robotics based on the way the single-celled amoeba moves. Unlike any other robots, the Virginia Tech ones are designed to use their entire outer skin as a means of propulsion.

This novel type of locomotion is particularly suited to search-and-rescue applications, says Hong: "They can squeeze under a collapsed ceiling or between obstacles very easily." Indeed, preliminary experiments show that the robots, with their soft, contracting bodies, are able to push themselves through holes with diameters much smaller than their normal width, Hong says. And because the robots are able to use their entire contact surfaces for traction, they can move over and through very uneven environments with ease.
The actual motion is generated by contracting and expanding actuator rings along the length of the robot's body. By contracting the rings at the rear of the robot and expanding them toward.

Smart Sunglasses Change Color on Demand

2009-04-18T00:18:00.001-07:00

New kind of sunglasses!
The lenses that the researchers have developed are made of a kind of electrochromic polymer, a material that can alter its levels of darkness and color in response to an electric current. The glasses only require power when they change hue.

So far Xu and her colleagues have developed prototype shades that resemble a pair of lab goggles with a dial attached onto the frame. Turning this dial activates the tiny watch battery powering the goggles and dials up the desired color. A single watch battery can power thousands of changes. The researchers presented their findings Tuesday at the American Chemical Society annual meeting.

In the lab, the researchers have shown their glasses can quickly switch from transparent to blue, plus various shades in between, at the flip of a switch, requiring minimal energy consumption. "We are working on a multicolored device as well, but no prototype is available yet," Xu said.

Foldable Guitar - DeVillain Centerfold

2009-04-18T00:15:00.000-07:00

Founded by airline pilot Fredrik Johansson (Yes, airline pilot). Fredrik got an idea based on a problem he was experiencing. It was hard to bring his guitar on flights. He tried different travel guitars, but was always disappointed.

Whenever visiting a music store he would ask about folding guitars, but they usually laughed and said –That’s impossible! Nothing is impossible, Fredrik thought. A few years later he held the first prototype of a folding guitar in his hands.

”The ’magical’ thing is that the guitar can be played directly after it’s been unfolded and it’s just as tuned as when it was folded away”, says Leif Rehnström, Managing Director of the newly started DeVillain Guitar Company in Skelleftea, Sweden.

The Ride, Leonardo da Vinci Bike

2009-04-16T06:51:00.003-07:00

The Ride the first bike to use the revolutionary gearless NuVinci Continuously Variable Planetary (CVP) drive.
With the NuVinci CVP, you’ll never miss a gear because there are no gears to miss. Instead, a set of spheres rotate around a central point to transfer torque from the pedals to the road. Tilting the spheres changes their contact diameters, permitting an infinite progression of speed ratios within its range. The result is that you’re always pedaling at just the right speed. You can adjust the ratios continuously as the terrain changes. In motion or standing still. It’s as easy as adjusting the volume on a radio. So forget complicated, noisy internal hubs, hard-to-maintain derailleur systems, dropped chains, missed gears, and jolts to your knees and lower back.

Eco Car made from food

2009-04-16T06:50:00.005-07:00

Students at the University of Warwick have made a Eco One racing with shell made from hemp, the tires made from potatoes and the brake pads made from cashew nut shells.

Eco One is an environmentally-friendly race car with a difference: its shell is made from hemp, the tyres made from potatoes and the brake pads made from cashew nut shells. It also runs entirely on bio-fuels and bio-lubricants.
But its green credentials don’t hold it back on the track. Designed originally with a top speed of 125mph, project manager Ben Wood has ‘tweaked’ the original Formula Student engine and claims he can achieve up to 150mph – given a long straight and a tailwind.

Eco One is getting its first public outing at the Sexy Green Car Show at the Eden Project where, from 30 March to 15 April, it will rub shoulders with green offerings from the biggest names in the motor industry worldwide.

Yin Yang Furniture

2009-04-16T06:46:00.005-07:00

Dedon has designed a completely unconventional collection of furniture that has its origins in the harmony of forms: the Dedon Signature Collection, Yin Yang. The idea came to designer Nicolas Thomkins on the Island of Cebu's beach of Olango. He sketched out the first draft of the design in the sand with a stick: a piece of furniture made up of two elements that appear as if they were formed by nature, like stones worn down by water or sand dunes shaped by the wind.

Yin Yang unites the dynamic opposites of ancient Chinese philosophy into a harmonious interplay of color and form, the bronze, and platinum, colored fibers reflect this harmony in alternating convex and concave surfaces. Surrounded by 4 km of woven fiber, they caress both the eye and the body; integrated seating depressions provide space for one person each.

The Flying Dutch Car

2009-04-16T06:46:00.003-07:00

This Dutch project is a hybrid 3-wheel vehicle that can fly as a gyrocopter and also be driven as a regular car, or to be more precise, like a motorcycle.

When riding on the road, the PAL-V will use the patented technology Dynamic Vehicle Control (DVC), originally designed for the Carver One, that should make tilting in corners a piece of cake. The flying apparatus is based on the original idea for the “autogiro”, developed in 1923 by Juan de la Cierva, and will have the capability to land practically anywhere. Combining the best of both worlds, the PAL-V ONE will use a foldable rotor fixed on the roof, a foldable propeller, and a slidable tail. The motor used for driving is the same that will power the propeller. The same controls are used in both flying and driving mode, but with different functionalities between them.

The PAL-V will fly only under 4,000 feet and will use a highly fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly engine that can run on petrol, but also on biodiesel or bio-ethanol. The vehicle will reach up to 200 km/h both on land an in the air.

Visualizing the E8 root system

2009-04-16T06:45:00.005-07:00

The E8 root system consists of 240 vectors in an eight-dimensional space. See what is E8? Those vectors are the vertices (corners) of an eight-dimensional object called the Gosset polytope 421.
In the 1960s, Peter McMullen drew (by hand) a 2-dimensional representation of the Gosset polytope 421. The image shown below was computer-generated by John Stembridge, based on McMullen's drawing.

The lines in the picture connect adjacent vertices in the polytope, with colors chosen according to the length of the 2-dimensional projection. Since the picture is a 2-dimensional projection of an 8-dimensional object, it captures only some of the symmetries of the Gossett polytope.
We thank John H. Conway, mathematics professor at Princeton University, for pointing out to us the connection between E8 and the Gosset polytope 421.

The Lie algebra E8 is 248-dimensional: the 8-dimensional space depicted here, plus one dimension for each of the 240 root vectors.

Picture also available as a high resolution EPS file (220k).

Several of the deep underground stations are cut into solid rock which were left with cave-like ceilings. The builders carved fascinating artistic objects out of the rock.
One like the base of a gigantic Greek column (Station Radhuset) resembles the excavated remains of some lost city of Atlantis encased in an ancient lava flow.

Hand Made Wooden Car

2009-04-15T10:52:00.000-07:00

The “Tryane II” is hand-made wooden car, put together with a method similar to that used by boat builders, described by its creator Friend Wood as “dozens of narrow strips of mahogany veneer, glued with epoxy resin, laid in 3 layers over a male mould.”, he said:
!I measured the 2CV components before making some 1/5th scale drawings of the proposed car. I then carved a similar scale body model to check the drawings. Once satisfied I drew out the lines full size on two sheets of hardboard. From these lines I constructed a male mould made from chipboard formers and softwood laths to the shape of the body shell. On to this mould I stapled and glued three layers of l.5mm mahogany veneers, This process took over 600 hours and 20,000 staples, all of which were pulled out when the glue was dry.”
