Humanitarian Design. Next-Gen 3D 'Sponge' Battery Could Recharge in Minutes, Retain Energy for Days. We like to boast about how ‘smart’ our mobile devices and computers have become – but why are we still powering them with dumb batteries? Amy Prieto, a chemistry professor at Colorado State University, started a company that is created a three-dimensional battery with a core of copper foam. Although it’s still in the very beginning stages of development, this incredibly smart technology could lead to batteries that contain two times more energy and charge in five minutes flat. Although modern rechargeable batteries make smartphones and GPS possible, they’re still extremely expensive, lose their charge in short order and come loaded with planet-killing toxins.

Prieto thinks it’s inexcusable that while our devices have become more sophisticated, our batteries have remained virtually the same for over one hundred years. The conventional battery surface is two-dimensional, which limits the direction and speed at which energy can flow. . + Prieto Battery Via Marketplace. The Work of Edward Tufte and Graphics Press.

Solar powered roadways by scott brusaw. Aug 07, 2012 solar powered roadways by scott brusaw ‘solar powered roads’ by scott brusaw american electrical engineer scott brusaw has developed a system of solar powered roads as an initiative to change the face of national highways. his project ‘solar roadways’ aims to re-purpose existing concrete and asphalt surfaces that are exposed to the sun with solar road panels. he is currently introducing the technology in driveways, bike paths, patios, sidewalks, parking lots, playgrounds, before integrating them onto public roads. aside from providing sustainable transportation solutions, the concept will provide socio-economic advantages in all aspects of daily life.

American Transportation statistics - How United States ranks. Definitions Airports > With paved runways > 1,524 to 2,437 m: This entry is derived from Transport > Airports > With paved runways, which gives the total number of airports with paved runways (concrete or asphalt surfaces) by length. For airports with more than one runway, only the longest runway is included according to the following five groups - (1) over 3,047 m (over 10,000 ft), (2) 2,438 to 3,047 m (8,000 to 10,000 ft), (3) 1,524 to 2,437 m (5,000 to 8,000 ft), (4) 914 to 1,523 m (3,000 to 5,000 ft), and (5) under 914 m (under 3,000 ft).

Only airports with usable runways are included in this listing. Not all airports have facilities for refueling, maintenance, or air traffic control.

Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the beloved Little House on the Prairie, tells of her first encounter with an asphalt pavement. She was on a wagon journey with her parents in 1894 that took them through Topeka. "In the very midst of the city, the ground was covered by some dark stuff that silenced all the wheels and muffled the sound of hoofs. It was like tar, but Papa was sure it was not tar, and it was something like rubber, but it could not be rubber because rubber cost too much.

We saw ladies all in silks and carrying ruffled parasols, walking with their escorts across the street. Their heels dented the street, and while we watched, these dents slowly filled up and smoothed themselves out. It was as if that stuff were alive. But the story of asphalt begins thousands of years before the founding of the United States. The first recorded use of asphalt as a road building material was in Babylon around 625 B.C., in the reign of King Naboppolassar. Asphalt Roads Come to America.

MIT researchers capture light travel at one trillion frames per second researchers at the MIT media lab in america have developed a new camera system that processes visual data at a rate of one trillion frames per second. the technology is capable of detecting light travel, producing images that can track the individual movement of light photons through slow motion video captures. 10.

Piston4. Crankcase The hot bulb engine, or hotbulb or heavy oil engine is a type of internal combustion engine. History[edit] A Hornsby-Akroyd hot bulb engine, built to the original horizontal cylinder, four-stroke design. Akroyd-Stuart's heavy oil engine (compared to spark-ignition) is distinctly different from Rudolf Diesel's better-known engine, where ignition is initiated through the heat of compression. Operation and working cycle[edit] The type of blow torch used to start the Hot Bulb engine. Blow-lamp being used to heat the Hot Bulb of a Lanz Bulldog tractor. In the hot bulb engine combustion takes place in a separated combustion chamber, the "vaporizer" (also called the "hot bulb"), usually mounted on the cylinder head, into which fuel is sprayed. Once the engine is running, the heat of compression and ignition maintains the hot bulb at the necessary temperature and the blow-lamp or other heat source can be removed.
