New Toilet System Transform Waste into Electricity


Scientists from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have invented a new toilet system that will turn human waste into electricity and fertilisers and also reduce the amount of water needed for flushing byup to 90 per cent compared to current toiletsystems in Singapore.
Dubbed the No-Mix Vacuum Toilet, it has two chambers that separate the liquid and solid wastes. Using vacuum suction technology, such as those used in aircraft lavatories, flushing liquids would now take only 0.2 litres of water while flushing solids require just one litre.
The existing conventional water closet usesabout 4 to 6 litres of water per flush. If installed in a public restroom flushed 100 times a day, this next generation toilet system, will save about 160,000 litres in a year – enough to fill a small pool 10 x 8 metres x 2m.

Molluscum contagiosum:



A contagious disease of the skin marked by the occurrence of rounded soft tumors of the skin caused by the growth of a virus (one that belongs to the virus family called the Poxviridae).
The disease is characterized by the appearance of a few to numerous small, pearly, umbilicated downgrowths called molluscum bodies or condyloma subcutaneum.

Molluscum contagiosum is mainly seen in children. In teenagers and adults it is often transmitted sexually and so may be considered a sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is a benign disorder that usually clears up by itself.

The Latin "molluscus" means soft.

wireless system


2.5 terabits of information per second!!!!

How powerful is your wireless system? Can it smoothly transfer 4 movies at the same time or can it simultaneously stream loaded music files? Sounds crazy? Well, there is a Wi-Fi that can seamlessly do all of that and much more. A set of Israeli and American scientists have been working on a new way to transmit data wirelessly. The good news is that they can now transfer a scorching 2.5 terabits of information per second.

This wireless system is almost 8,000 times faster than your fastest wired home Internet connection that can only manage up to 300Mbps. Literally, the output is the same as transmitting seven full Blu-ray movies per second.

Starfish don’t have brains.


They are not fish. they are not even vertebrates. they are echinoderms. You saythey don’t have brains – it is true that the nervous system is not organized in a central organ or ‘brain,’ but they do have a system of nerves that control sensory sytems, movement, balance, orientation, etc.
Starfish are Inverterbrites, nature has made it so they dont require a brain to survive. In effect this means that all the processes that happen inside are starfish are very simple and interconnected

Moon jellyfish


Hundreds of moon jellyfish babies have been born at the Weymouth Sealife centre in Dorset. Aquarists say they have never seen so many jelly babies of all shapes, sizes and colours from many different species at one time - but even though they may look cute many of them are highly poisonous as well.

Amazing fact of shark





Truely Amazing fact of shark...
A Shark can sense a drop of
blood from 2.5 miles away and
can detect one part of blood in
"100 million" parts of water (i.e
1:100000000).

Dr.kalam's Simplicity....







***SIMPLICITY is
INSIDE***
This photo is taken when Dr.kalam
went to healthcare inauguration in
Azamgarh a couple of daysback.

While his way back he stopped for a
cup of teain this roadside Dhaba
with his team.

He said:- No 5 stars or any star
hotel can beat this taste.

Now this is called as SIMPLICITY.

Inside the head of a beatboxer








Michael Marshall, reporter

Meet Reeps One, the UK's champion beatboxer. Last month he took some time out from his regular schedule of dubstep gigs to perform inside an MRI machine. The video above reveals the muscle movements involved in beatboxing.
Carolyn McGettigan, a neuroscientist at University College London, UK, tracked down Reeps One and persuaded him to beatbox while she scanned his brain. A second volunteer, who wasn't an expert beatboxer, did the same thing.
You can see the results in the pictures below. When beatboxing Reeps One (top, activity highlighted in red) mostly used his primary motor cortex and cerebellum, while the novice beatboxer (below, activity highlighted in green) used several other areas on top of that. It might be the control's lack of expertise showing through: they had to plan each articulation, while Reeps One had already learned how to do it and could perform more-or-less automatically




McGettigan and her colleagues previously identified the brain regions involved in mimicking someone's voice.

Why are there no solar cars on our roads?





 Even in tropical countries? Even on sunny days? . That amazing solar car uses just 1.2 kW of power - about as much as a small toaster or 20 old electric lamps. A real electric car needs more like 10-15 kW - so over 10 times more. The other day I took a photo of a large house with a totally solar roof, and that produces about 4kW at best. So to power a real electric car, you would need an area of solar cells big enough to cover about 3-4 house roofs... and you simply can't fit that many solar panels on a car. But wait! Solar panels could still be used to top up the batteries in an electric car... or to produce hydrogen for a fuel-cell car, which we'll explore next...

Helicopters:





The genius of helicopters: There are two parts to how an ordinary airplane flies. Engines push it forward through the air, which forces air over curved and tilted wings. The wings direct the air downward and that makes the plane lift upward. The engines are less important than the wings: a plane can fly (for a time) without engines but not without wings. In a helicopter, the spinning rotors serve as wings: they have a curved (airfoil) shape similar to airplane wings. With a plane, you get lift only when the craft moves forward, as air rushes past the wings. With a helicopter, spinning the rotors at high speed means you can generate lift even when you're hovering in one place. Spinning rotor blades through the air (in a still helicopter) is exactly the same as moving still wings quickly through the air (in a moving plane). By changing the angle ("pitch") of the rotors as they rotate, you can generate more lift in one direction than another, which makes a helicopter steer in any direction you like. It all seems simple to us now, but this invention is a work of genius. The inventor? Ikor Sikorsky. And here's his first practical helicopter design from 1931.
