In this example the file must be in public_html/example/Example/ Notice that the CaSe is important in this example. On platforms that enforce case-sensitivity example and Example are not the same locations. For addon domains, the file must be in public_html/addondomain.com/example/Example/ and the names are case-sensitive. Broken Image When you have a missing image on your site you may see a box on your page with with a red X where the image is missing. This varies by browser, if you do not see a box on your page with a red X try right clicking on the page, then select View Page Info, and goto the Media Tab. In this example the image file must be in public_html/images/ Fusion Tables. Bust your data out of its silo!

The Decelerator Helmet - A slow motion for Real Life. An awesome way to pour a beer. The D-Drive Infinitely Variable Geared Transmission. RadMax Technologies, Inc. Flyin' Miata : New stuff! New quadcopter from Australian firm. From Wired's Danger Room blog: "Last month, an Australian company, Cyber Technology (WA) Pty Ltd, used a drone with ducted fans in an actual operation.

Their Cyber Quad vertical take-off drone carried out an extended survey of an offshore drilling platform and an oil rig damaged by fire. The drone flew around, under and inside the two structures, which are joined by a gantry, as well as landing on them for a better look. “The ability to land the CyberQuad on the various levels of the platform where the main damage occurred gave engineers and disaster control experts the ability to see the extent of the structural damage visually,” Andrea James, head of Communications at Cyber Technology told Danger Room. The Cyber Quad can carry a high-definition video camera or sensors to detect specific gases, like industrial pollutants or chemical warfare agents. The brushless electric motor is quiet and does not produce sparks – important when investigating a damaged oil platform. No price given. Reg Technologies Inc. Rotary engine burns diesel. The technology is owned and licensed in North America by Regi Tech, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada (regtech.com).

Its makers claim a RandCam engine would have two to three times the power and weigh half as much as a Wankel engine of the same size. The engine is comprised of a disc-shaped rotor and driveshaft which turn the housing, or stator, which remains stationary. Up to 12 vanes mounted parallel to the shaft slide up and down along the outside of the rotor as they follow a track along the inside of the stator housing. Combustion chambers form between the rotor, stator walls, and vanes, and their volumes change as the vanes move during rotation.

Although the design could use only two vanes, the current version has 12, which generate 24 combustion events (intake, compression, ignition, exhaust) per rotation. ParaJet SkyCar. NuVinci continuously variable planetary (CVP) technology set for pedal-electric hybrids. September 12, 2006 One of the many inventions with which the extraordinary Leonardo da Vinci is credited is the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), a technology that has only just come into common usage 500 years after his foresightedness was committed to parchment. NuVinci is a new highly adaptable and scalable variation on the CVT theme that looks set to make its mark – developed by Fallbrook Technologies, continuously variable planetary (CVP) NuVinci technology promises a practical and economical CVT for both human-powered and motor-powered vehicles and machines. View all Under the agreement, Currie will create a new family of light electric vehicles (LEVs) whose enhanced performance makes them a practical alternative to gas-powered vehicles.
