The fuel contained in 50 cups of water could yield as much energy as burning two tons of coal. The problem is, how do you …
Ads : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software The UK is working on a new type of armour that will use pulses of electrical energy to repel rockets, shrapnel and other ammunition that might damage a vehicle. Researchers at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), which is the research and development arm of the …
Amyris claim that the diesel that they will make with synthetic biology will release 80 percent less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than fossil fuels. Today, Brazilian sugarcane is the only crop that can possibly back up Amyris’s green marketing. Brazilian studies say that sugarcane ethanol yields about 7 to 10 times as much energy …
1. Depleted Cranium has an excellent article on the problems of making a nuclear bomb from material taken from a commercial nuclaer reactor and even taking material during reprocessing. The issue is the percentage of Plutonium 240 and Plutonium 241 mixed in with Plutonium 239. Having too much Plutonium 240 and 241 means you will …
If the Mach Effect is real [mass fluctations) and behaves as theorized (with some experimental confirmation) by James Woodward and the effect scales up as expected then we can create propellentless space drive. It appears that the latest research work by James Woodward is validating the existence of the effect. STAIf 2007- Mach-Lorentz Thruster (MLT)Applications …
MIT Technology Review – IBM has created prototype graphene transistors made from atom-thick sheets of carbon, operate at 100 gigahertz–meaning they can switch on and off 100 billion times each second, about 10 times as fast as the speediest silicon transistors. IBM has created graphene transistors that leave silicon ones in the dust. The prototype …
UPDATE- Steve Jobs in on stage now (10AM PST , 1 PM EST). Author Comment/Review – Based on the feature demo, specs and $499 starting price. The iPad does look like a monster winner and one that lives up to the pre-release hype. Do you get in line to try to get this one now …
Eureka Aerospace has a high energy microwave cannon for stopping cars Eureka Aerospace’s current High-Power Electromagnetic System (HPEMS) uses a compact, tunable power source and a high-gain antenna to beam microwave energy in the direction of targeted vehicles. Once emitted, these electromagnetic waves bring vehicles to a halt by inducing strong disabling currents in their …
Alpha Galilieo reports – University of Southampton researchers, Dr de Planque, a biochemist, and Dr Zauner, a computer scientist, will adapt brain processes to a ‘wet’ information processing scenario by setting up chemicals in a tube which behave like the transistors in a computer chip The project will run for three years and involves three …
Diode pumping of a dual-clad fiber laser can be from the end or the side, but light must enter at an angle close to the axis of the fiber so the pump light (blue) can be guided within the outer core. The laser species is doped into the inner core (red), which confines laser emission …
