8 Things Everybody Ought to Know About Concentrating

Mike was in his room writing a paper for his U.S. History class. On his desk next to his computer sat crunched Red Bulls, empty Gatorade bottles, some extra pocket change and scattered pieces of paper. In the pocket of his sweat pants rested a blaring iPod with a chord that dangled near the floor, almost touching against his Adidas sandals. On his computer sat even more stray objects than his surrounding environment. Mike made a shift about every thirty seconds between all of the above. Do you know a person like this? The Science Behind Concentration In the above account, Mike’s obviously stuck in a routine that many of us may have found ourselves in, yet in the moment we feel it’s almost an impossible routine to get out of. When we constantly multitask to get things done, we’re not multitasking, we’re rapidly shifting our attention. Make Your Electricity From Scratch! Four African Teenage Girls Create a Pee-Powered Generator. In the past week or so since Hurricane Sandy devastated a large portion of the East Coast, we've seen people get creative about ways to harness power.

From sharing outlets on the street , to using bikes as generators , people have come up with innovative ways to charge their cell phones and other items necessary for everyday life. While these ideas were resourceful, none of them are nearly as outside-the-box as what four African teenage girls came up with: a pee-powered generator.

During the Maker Faire Africa , in Lagos, Nigeria on November 5 and 6, 14-year-olds Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, Faleke Oluwatoyin, and 15-year-old Bello Eniola presented their unique proposal. According to The Next Web , here's how it works: Urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which cracks the urea into nitrogen, water, and hydrogen. The hydrogen goes into a water filter for purification, which then gets pushed into the gas cylinder. This purified hydrogen gas is pushed into the generator. Urea. Urea or carbamide is an organic compound with the chemical formula CO(NH2)2.

Urea

The molecule has two —NH2 groups joined by a carbonyl (C=O) functional group. The discovery by Friedrich Wöhler in 1828 that urea can be produced from inorganic starting materials was an important conceptual milestone in chemistry, as it showed for the first time that a substance previously known only as a byproduct of life could be synthesized in the laboratory without any biological starting materials, contradicting the widely held doctrine of vitalism. Related compounds[edit] The terms urea is also used for a class of chemical compounds sharing the same functional group RR'N—CO—NRR', namely a carbonyl group attached to two organic amine residues.

Examples include carbamide peroxide, allantoin, and hydantoin. History[edit] Urea was first discovered in urine in 1727 by the Dutch scientist Herman Boerhaave,[3] though this discovery is often attributed to the French chemist Hilaire Rouelle.[4] Physiology[edit] Blended Urine as an Alternative Fuel for Motor Vehicles. Written by: Swagatam •edited by: Lamar Stonecypher•updated: 5/4/2011 Buffalo and cow urine are a driving force for motor vehicles when blended with gasoline and diesel fuel.

Blended Urine as an Alternative Fuel for Motor Vehicles

It is also the cheapest prime source of motor fuel additive, usable by up to 75% by volume when mixed with gasoline or diesel. Consommation collaborative. 100 sites pour consommer sans posséder. Voici une première tentative (à ma connaissance) de création d’une liste d’initiatives françaises (ou ayant des activités en France) sur la consommation collaborative (voir la définition au bas de cet article).

100 sites pour consommer sans posséder

Dans cette liste, le parti pris a été d’indiquer les initiatives relevant des formes nouvelles d’échange entre particuliers (partage, troc, échange, location) ainsi que les nouveaux styles de vie collaboratifs (crowdfunding, coworking, colunching ...) mais aussi des initiatives se situant aux limites du sujet mais qui méritaient d’être mises en avant pour l’innovation sociale qu’elles représentent.
