A Wells inventor has put together a machine that he claims is the first step in creating free energy from perpetual motion. He says it produces more power than it consumes. However the patent office will not register the design – because if it works, it breaks the laws of physics.
The machine, which basically shaped out of leftover bicycle parts and a windscreen-washer motor, uses high-powered magnets and a series of flywheels to seemingly create energy from gravity. The outcome, only a tiny amount of power is provided by the washer motor, using a rubber band cut from a bicycle inner tube. The flywheels keep turning even though it would seem unbearable for the motor to move the weight of the machine. Read more…
Well not really, but they’ll be able to read your mind, soon! If the kids at Intel have it their way, and really made it through the century. They say that they’ll soon be able to look at a person’s brain activity and determine actual words that they’re thinking. The idea here is that the activity generated in the average person by individual words can be mapped and stored in a database, to be matched against that of someone using the thought control interface.
At the moment, results have been rather promising – an early prototype exists that can differentiate between words like screwdriver, house, and barn, by using a magnetic resonance scanner that measures something like 20,000 points in the brain. But anything like “This boy has a strong accent of mating instinct all over him” is still far in the future thought. We’ll see if this technology comes first, or the invasion of Sarah Kerrigan coming back to finish the business comes first.
Remember Tom Cruise waving his hands and interacting with an uber cool interface in Minority Report? Well that cool stuff is getting nearer to our technology. This is yet another prototype seen in Hitachi’s exhibition during their 100th anniversary event. The system is still inaccurate and very much laggy, but it’s still a big leap for us. Check out the video!
Intel is beginning to departure from their core business, selling chips, and starts to widen their product range. Hitting retail stores would be a great idea. No, I don’t mean going shopping. What I mean is, Intel’s trying to develop new devices for retailers to use in their cashers. Read more…
This has got to be one of the coolest invention around, but not for our daily lives of kush. But clearly a great piece of invention that greatly helps human in development of our infrastructures. Not a real train though, but a machine to build rail tracks.The P811-S Track Renewal Train just finished installing a line to Overpelt, Belgium in May. What’s next?
We all know that safety helmets are meant to protect us from harm, but one should also know that you’re still prone to injury even when you’re wearing the ‘invincible’ hat. But now, there’s a new ‘hat’ that will tell you you’re bleeding, and how deep is your wound and injury, when you get into some sort of accident.
This is one of the funky ideas going around, and I actually like it. The prototype vibrating warning system for cars will actually vibrate and ‘hopefully’ wake you up from dozing off and flying out of your car while you’re asleep. Hopefully this new system can keep you awake from those wild rides.
From the Yales School of Engineering, this vibrating project joins flashing side mirrors (Audi) and “stay awake, have a coffee break” (Mercedes) as the latest in driver safety systems, protects drivers by vibrating cellphone-sized motors in the seat.
There’s been many solar research models lately. Many are trying to get aircrafts to fly around without nothing but power from the sun. This is actually a remarkable research, as who knows, in the future we might be flying around using cute looking aircraft powered by solar energy. Totally green indeed! It’s a great thing to know that everyone’s getting into the ‘save Mother Nature’ move.
The Zephyr drone from QinetiQ will be running around again, with a new record that it hopes to blow away. 7 days in the air, and counting! The craft, which took off from the Army’s Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona last Friday, is being billed as an “eternal aircraft,” one that can stay in the air for extremely lengthy periods of time for use as recon and communications platforms. The earlier world record for a UAV was set by NASA’s Global Hawk, which stayed aloft for 30 hours and 24 minutes.
The knife shown above is a handmade knife that is shaped entirely from fiber optic glass. Yes, the fiber optic that gave us blazing fast internet. It’s made by using a method known as knapping, a throwback method of shaping stones into useful tools.
Somehow the knife looks like a Jade-made knife from the ancient Chinese century emperor. But the handle sure is ugly for such an exotic $165 knife.
This is something that is actually pretty amazing, if you think about it. A resource that won’t probably run out of juice. Brother Industries (yes the Brother that made your printer) has developed an AA battery sized generator powered by vibration, which can be used to charge another AA battery.
