The Work Going On The World’s Most Powerful Magnet (Part-2)
The manufacturing cost of insert and outsert would be $20,000 and $8 million. It is expected that both of them will survive about 100 pulses and 10,000 pulses respectively. The force is very much high and each time it pulses it bends the copper and silver wires. The forceful pulses create tiny cracks in the metal. The cracks created in the copper move into the silver wires and there they stop. It is similar to the reinforced concrete. That...
The Work Going On The World’s Most Powerful Magnet (Part-1)
Scientists are working on to build the most powerful electromagnet of the world. The strongest known materials are being used to make this magnet. This magnet will not blow up a split second after it's turned on. The whole magnet will be having coil sets in it. The entire magnet will weight approximately 18,000 pounds. The power will be given by jolts; the energy will be generated through massive 1,200-megajoules motor generators. You can i...
Philips HD15 Ultrasound System
Philips has introduced the new HD15 system. This is a mid-range multi-purpose ultrasound system. This is advance in system and possesses more capabilities than its earlier models. This new system is featuring multiple usability functionalities to improve workflow. The HD15 is also having diverse type of capabilities which works for a wide range of exam types. This includes imaging, cardiac, vascular and OB/GYN applications. The system inclu...
Researchers Discovered Cheap Way To Store Solar Energy (Part 2)
The new catalyst is amorphous without having any distinct structure. It is not stable in form and breaks down after performing its job. But it has the ability to repair itself which enables it to work continuously. In the experimental method adopted by Nocera, he inserts an indium tin oxide electrode in a container of water. That water was already mixed with cobalt and potassium phosphate. When he applied voltage to that electrode, the chem...
Researchers Discovered Cheap Way To Store Solar Energy (Part 1)
Researchers have developed a new advance method in organic chemistry regarding storing energy from the sunlight. The advantage of this advancement is that it would render a cheapest way towards producing electric power. The cost was considered as the top most issue in the energy generation process from sun light. Now it is much resolved by this method. The chief role in this method is played by a newly developed catalyst. It is developed by...
Cheaper Process To convert Natural Gas To Gasoline (Part 2)
The cost differs by $10 per barrel. This was stated by Hall. He says that a Fischer-Tropsch plant is having the capacity to produce a barrel of gasoline giving a production cost of $35 but by Synfuels refinery same amount of gasoline could be produced for just $25. By making the calculations under current fuel prices, it is said by the company that this plant can cover up its own manufacturing cost in four years. Texas A&M Univers...
Cheaper Process To convert Natural Gas To Gasoline (Part 1)
A Texas company has claimed of developing a new conversion method which is cheaper and cleaner one to create gasoline and other liquid fuels from natural gas. This method would render a way which is more economical to make use of natural-gas reserves which were difficult to develop due to small in size or located at far away places. Synfuels International which is an American company based in Dallas, is working behind this technology. The com...
GIS System To Better Control Wildfire (Part 2)
Single click would add up new data to the GIS map and the latest information is on the desktop. Before the creation of this new GIS maps, Kaye has to adopt a difficult task of searching different sites to get the required weather updates. She says; "To be able to access all that data at once would really be useful -- make things much smoother" That becomes more critical when it is a matter of lives. The new method will enable the user...
GIS System To Better Control Wildfire (Part 1)
Scientists have now achieved the task of integrating GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and weather reports together; this would be appeared as a visual display on the desktop. They created a new map having the features of collecting, layering and analyzing information from different origins. Individual manager would be able to integrate weather information scattered on different resource websites with this software. Every common person i...
Magnetic Field of Earth Will Be Used For Future Satellites (Part 2)
To practically see the feasibility of this idea, the researchers put the test satellite in a vacuum chamber at SUNY Binghamton; then they shot the charge ions on this satellite in the same way as it happen in the outer space. No chemical propellant are used in this system, however it doesn’t mean that this is a fuel-less device. It has radioactive material – Americium 241 – which emits charged particles; it is also having electric dev...
Magnetic Field of Earth Will be Used for Future Satellites (Part 1)
The news comes of wind-tunnel test. This test was made on experimental satellite propulsion system; in which satellite uses the earth’s magnetic force to move around the earth instead of chemical propellants. In the experiment the experimental satellite exploded with the flying hot metal pieces. Despite of this failure of experiment, NASA-funded machine was improved to much better form; representing the new satellite discovery influencing...
