The making of a shape shifting material!

CharlieP — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 15:54:09 GMT

ShapeShift is an experiment in future possibilities of architectural materialization. This project explores the potential application of electro-active polymer (EAP) at an architectural scale. EAP offers a new relationship to built space through its unique combination of qualities. It is an ultra-lightweight, flexible material with the ability to change shape without the need for mechanical actuators. As a collaboration between the chair for Computer Aided Architectural Design (ETHZ) and the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA), ShapeShift bridges gaps between advanced techniques in architectural design/fabrication and material science as well as pushing academic research towards real world applications - caadeap

What's In Your Air ?

bal — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 14:11:57 GMT

Select air purifier manufacturers are now utilizing Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) technology as a way of removing particulate matter, microbes, gasses and odors from the air. This air purification technology is the most advanced yet. Essentially, PCO technology combines UV rays with a special multi-metal nano catalyst, which creates hydroxyl radicals and super-oxide ions, which are highly reactive electrons. These highly reactive electrons aggressively combine with polluting elements in the air, such as bacteria and VOCs. Once bound together, a chemical reaction takes place between the super-charged ion and the pollutant, effectively "oxidizing" (or burning) the pollutant. This breaks the pollutant down into harmless carbon dioxide and water molecules, making the air more purified. This video first highlights the pervasive problem that indoor air pollution causes, then explains how PCO technology works and how it can dramatically purify air making a healthier and happier home.

Home Made Gravity-based Coin Sorter

hamza — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 13:06:32 GMT

The basic structure is made of cardboard, and put together using glue. In order to create the variable rule that guides the coins, I used little sheets of plastic. I placed the sheets of plastic in a tile-like structure, so that each one overlaps with the one above it. This design allows the height of the tiles to be adjusted conveniently. This coin sorter sorts 6 categories of coins. One way to optimize the sorter would be to separate the coins into the smallest 3 coins vs the largest 3 coins, and have each group of 3 be sorted separately. This would allow more coins to go through, but of course the structure would be much more complex.

IBM Advances the Use of Light Instead of Wires for Chips

richards — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:20:05 GMT

IBM researchers from the T.J. Watson Research Center reached a significant milestone in the quest to send information between the "brains" on a chip using pulses of light through silicon instead of electrical signals on copper wires. The breakthrough -- a significant advancement in the field of "Silicon Nanophotonics" -- uses pulses of light rather than electrical wires to transmit information between different processors on a single chip, significantly reducing cost, energy and heat while increasing communications bandwidth between the cores more than a hundred times over wired chips. The new technology aims to enable a power-efficient method to connect hundreds or thousands of cores together on a tiny chip by eliminating the wires required to connect them. Using light instead of wires to send information between the cores can be as much as 100 times faster and use 10 times less power than wires, potentially allowing hundreds of cores to be connected together on a single chip, tran

Fiber Optic Technology

rahul gopinath — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:35:19 GMT

By twisting fiber optic strands into helical shapes, researchers have created unique structures that can precisely filter, polarize or scatter light. Compatible with standard fiber optic lines, these hair-like structures may replace bulky components in sensors, gyroscopes and other devices. While researchers are still probing the unusual properties of the new fibers, tests show the strands impart a chiral, or "handed," character to light by polarizing photons according to certain physical properties. In conventional optical fibers, light is transmitted from one end to the other through a round core housed within a concentric outer cladding. But, because a circular core does not develop handedness when twisted, the research team wound rectangular-core fibers to create a double helix. When the team tested the twisted fiber, they discovered that some photons left the core and entered the cladding. Photons with the same handedness as the fiber entered the cladding whereas photons

H-Class Rocket Motor Test

alastair — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:12:16 GMT

Static test of my homemade solid rocket fuel H-Class motor. I used a potassium nitrate/sugar fuel based on Jimmy Yawn's work. The rocket was fired on a homemade thrust scale. The scale is maxed out by 70lbs, but the motor clearly exceeds that. I'm currently working on an airframe to hold the motor. The motor was constructed of steel gas pipe and is very heavy, but we'll see how she flies someday.....maybe

Vacuum Chamber Project

michael — Wed, 21 May 2008 11:42:06 GMT

Shaving cream is placed into a vacuum chamber, then the vacuum is turned on. The chemicals are arranged such that there are many pockets of air trapped inside the shaving cream. The air pockets in shaving cream will expand in a vacuum. As the pressure gradually decreases the volume of the shaving cream get bigger and eventually fills the jar. This is a great example of Boyle's Law which shows an indirect relationship between pressure and volume.

Imagine Charging Your Car Like You Would Your Cell Phone

If you drive to work, imagine how much money you would save by not having to fill up on gas for your daily commute. Instead of fuel, you would plug in your car to an elec... More»trical outlet, much like you already do with your laptop or cell phone. That's the concept behind the 2007 Chevrolet Volt. Dubbed as the next generation electric car, it was the talk of this year's Detroit Auto Show. Capable of running 40 miles on its initial charge, it re-charges itself as it moves down the road. Driven by electricity and an alternative power source, a small internal ethanol powered engine creates enough power to restore the battery. With new improvements in lithium battery technology, this concept car could soon become a reality. The Volt is expected to be available for consumers in 2010.

The hot plasma exits the barrel in a focused stream and will punch holes in light weight materials withing a foot but it quickly dissipates. The sparks consist of burning steel ablated from the electrodes. Although this device is currently crude and inefficient, it has none of the limitations of gun powder primarily that of maximum muzzle velocity.

The ruler is then rubbed against the cloth and this gives it a static charge. It is this charge that attracts the bits of paper to it. If you do this well, the paper will actually jump at the ruler. No strings or glue required!!! This cool trick is funny and needs no preparation. It also teaches some science, which is good...Well... NOT REALLY! Anyway, Enjoy the vid and try this magic for youself it is easy and simple to do, so give it a go right now.
