VB 950 DK (RED GIANT) - engine blocks. Scalado Remove - Capture a clear view. Zen Table by Simon Hallam. Imagine a Japanese Zen Garden built into a beautifully-crafted, glass-topped table. The body of the table encapsulates electronics and robotics, that sculpt geometric patterns and images into a field of microscopic silicone beads beneath a glass top. The effect is mesmerizing and magical; it is truly Zen-like to watch ever-changing patterns and images appear in the sand. The project is based on an idea I sketched in a notebook back in 1997. Since then I've tested a multitude of mechanical configurations and experimented with many different sculpting mediums. In May of this year I decided to get serious about the project, spending my life savings developing a full-sized coffee table prototype, building a smaller desktop sized version, and writing software that directs the table to sculpt interesting things.
We Need Your Support The design and execution of the first functioning tables is complete. NEW VIDEO: I know this one isn't very Zen like, but it is one of my favorites. Simon Hallam. Swiss plan to orbit a satellite to kill old satellites. It has always been rather ironic to me that the space surrounding the earth doesn't actually have a whole lot of space thanks to the hordes of satellites in orbit. Other than satellites that are actually working, there is a bunch of debris flying around orbiting the Earth that sometimes crashes in the other satellites that are in use, destroying them and making even more debris.
Scientists in Switzerland have a plan to clean up junk that's in orbit around Earth. The plan involves a small satellite that would be placed in orbit and then catch up to the defunct or damaged satellites and capture them. The satellite is dubbed CleanSpace One and will have some sort small arm to reach out and grab the old satellites, and then store them inside itself. The janitorial satellite would then launch itself, and its worthless was cargo back into the atmosphere where it would burn up. CleanSpace One is a small satellite that reportedly wouldn't cost that much to put into orbit. [via Business Insider] Dr Quantum - Double Slit Experiment. Groundhog Day Explained. The Magic of CES.
