'the volta'

Nixon recently introduced 'the volta' the brand's first rechargeable, solar powered watch.

The semi-transparent dial allows sunlight through to the solar panel below which charges the watch's battery.

Powerslaves and desk jockeys need not worry, any light source will suffice so your office fluorescence or tanning beds will also be good sources to recharge the watch.

A fost descoperită cea mai mare peşteră din lume.

via Realitatea .NET - IT & Ştiinţă by Realitatea.NET on 7/30/09

O peşteră uriaşă a fost descoperită într-o zonă îndepărtată a junglei vietnameze, dovedindu-se ulterior a fi cea mai mare peşteră, cu o singură cameră, din lume.

Peştera Son Doong măsoară circa 80/80 de metri şi bate vechiul record deţinut de Peştera Căprioarei din porţiunea malaeziană a insulei Borneo.

Peştera Căprioarei măsoară circa 90/90 de metri, dar nu are decât 1,6 kilometri în lungime. Prin contrast, exploratorii au mers în Son Doong circa 4,5 kilometri, dar au trebuit să se întoarcă pentru a nu rămâne blocaţi de apele sezoniere. Aceştia sunt de părere că peştera vietnameză este chiar mai lungă de atât.
Mai mult, pe o distanţă de aproape trei kilometri, peştera măsoară chiar şi 140/140 de metri, a declarat Adam Spillane, un membru al British Cave Research Association, echipă care a explorat caverna. Speologii au fost forţati să iasă din cauza apelor, dar au promis că se vor întoarce anul viitor pentru a explora peştera în întregime.

Skylon spaceplane concept

via DVICE by Addy Dugdale on 7/30/09

Somewhat reminiscent of one of Professor Calculus's creations for cub reporter Tintin, the Skylon is what is known as a reusable launch vehicle for unpiloted space shenanigans. In short, it's a space plane. The creation of Reaction Engines Limited, a British outfit based at the Culham Science Center in Oxfordshire, the Skylon will be able to take off from and land at normal airport runways in order to deliver its payload of up to 13 tons in orbit.

All of this is down to Skylon's Sabre propulsion system, which is part jet engine, part rocket engine. The thrust is created by burning hydrogen and oxygen — a tricky concept, because air in the lower atmosphere can reach temperatures of 1000 degrees Centigrade. In order to cool the air before compressing and burning it, Reaction Engines have created a heat exchanger pre-cooler, which consists of ultra-fine piping that drops the temperature of the hot intake gases to minus 130 degrees Centigrade in just one hundredth of a second.

Whilst perhaps not yet as tangible as Richard Branson's White Knight Two, Skylon's technology is, you've got to admit, pretty amazing. And just look at the scale of the thing — it's immense! — in the gallery below. What does it remind you of?

*Cheaper than most space travel, that is.

Wink Glasses protect your eyesight while gaming

via DVICE by Adario Strange on 7/30/09

The ultimate eye preservation apparatus has been created for gamers who thrive on three-day marathon sessions. The device, called Wink Glasses, was created by Japan's Masunaga Optical Manufacturing to force computer users to blink to avoid eye strain.

Wink Glasses work using a sensor that detects how long you have gone without blinking and if the time passes the five-second mark the mechanism will automatically block your eyesight by fogging up the glass panel until you blink again. The device will hold an eight-hour charge and can also be connected to a USB outlet as an alternative power source. The Wink Glasses will hit the Japanese market on August 10th for 15,750 yen ($150).

Scorpion EXO 900 3-in-1 Transforming Motorcycle Helmet

via Gizmodo by Sean Fallon on 7/29/09

This is probably a bit of overkill for my bicycle, but on a motorcycle the EXO 900 is the king of versatility. It can quickly flip from a full face helmet to a flip front modular to a 3/4 helmet.

Other features include an EverClear No-Fog faceshield and an anti-scratch retractable SpeedView sun visor. Truth be told, this certainly isn't the first modular helmet out there. However, at $270-$280 the Scorpion would be far cheaper than something like BMW's System 6—although the latter has advanced noise canceling features and integrated Bluetooth.

The Citadel: The World's First Floating Apartment Complex

via Gizmodo by Dan Nosowitz on 7/29/09

Since Holland is mostly under sea level, keeping houses from flooding is a constant problem. This concept fixes that problem by just having an apartment complex that floats.

The Citadel is the residential part of the "New Water" complex, which tries to embrace Holland's waterworld-ness instead of fighting it. It'll have a floating road to the mainland as well as plenty of boat docks for its 60 units. Apparently it'll also be 25% more energy-efficient than an equivalent complex on land by using the surrounding water for cooling. It looks kind of crazy, but the sort of crazy that could actually work.

Japonezii vor fi conectaţi de fibră optică cu o viteză de 30TB/s

via Realitatea .NET - IT & Ştiinţă by Realitatea.NET on 7/29/09

Laboratorul KDDI R&D a colaborat cu Institutul Naţional de Tehnologie a Informaţiei şi Comunicaţiilor din Japonia pentru dezvoltarea celui mai avansat cablu de fibră optică din lume.

Japonezii vor fi conectaţi de fibră optică cu o viteză de 30 de terabits pe secundă

Cablul va fi capabil să transporte date la o viteză fără precedent, de aproape 10 ori mai rapid decât tehnologia actuală, la peste 30 de terabits pe secundă, faţă de trei terabits cât este în prezent.

Viteza atinsă de noua tehnologie este echivalentul a 720 de DVD-uri transmise într-o secundă. KDDI speră să comercializeze noile fibre optice şi să poată conecta toate marile oraşe Japoneze, la preţul de 210 milioane de dolari.
