How I built an electricity producing wind turbine

start ta ani..

pwede sad kani.

nice bro... barato ra sad iya na gasto.

[stealthghost]

akong plans pud sa Solar / Wind energy, is to light up our rooms..
Mura'g daku2x nga battery need kung Aircon..

Btw, naa ko keyboard sa balay,


Logitech - Wireless Solar Keyboard K750

Lampshade ra akong pang charge, as a feature sa kani nga design pwede ra light sa monitor mo-charge sa keyboard..

once ra ko nahut.dan og battery... hihihihih...

bought it @ Octagon, 4750 ang price.. I don't know if naa pa karon..

[Deadstring67]

ingon ani ako gusto nga balay.



nindot kaayo naa ka puyo kilid sa dagat.

[stealthghost]

nice one bro deadstring..!

unta mo-barato ni kadugayan ang mga Solar Panels og Wind turbine..

naa sa Buy and Sell, kita ko, mo-taud og Solar panels. Foreigner ang tag-iya.. I'll dig it later..

[Deadstring67]

mao jd bro.. para d na ta mag agad sa VECO nga mahal kaau. dghan charges..

[xmasher05]

wow amazing thread......daghan kaau kog nakat.onan ^^

TS, nindot man unta ning wind energy, pero depende man gud sa location, then dili pod constant ang power generated ani nga system. More importantly, dako ni ang first cost sa wind turbines then for kinahanglan ni siya ug dako2x nga space.

Dili jud ko well versed sa technical studies ani, pero basing sa wind farm sa Ilocos, as what I have heard, dili kaayo efficient ang power generation didto.

Back Seat Transparent Touchscreen Window





A group of designers from the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design has teamed up with engineers from Toyota to develop a technology called "Windows of the World", which turns the window of the back seat of a car into an interactive transparent touchscreen.

The technology allows kids to draw different images on the window using their fingers, zoom in and out the images they see on the opposite side of the window, learn new words by touching the objects seen outside the vehicle and get the distance from the car to these objects and information about them.

The new technology was officially presented at the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association that took place in June in Belgium. It works similar to a tablet PC - you can zoom in and out images by spreading two fingers outward or draw pictures by placing a finger on the window.

There's one more interesting thing the technology has - the drawn pictures will move out of the window where they were created at the same rate as the vehicle is moving, giving you the illusion that the drawing represented part of the landscape outside of the car.

World's Largest Interactive Touchscreen from Stereolize







Stereolize, a German firm that focuses on making inspiring presentations for different companies, has been collaborating with Microsoft. For over 8 years Stereolize helped the software giant do its thing at CeBIT.

With each new trade show the German company attempts to do something even more impressive than the last year and in 2011 it managed to amaze the audience with a giant 234-inches interactive touchscreen. Placed above Microsoft presenters, the display claims to be the biggest touchscreen in the world.

The most interesting fact about the display is that it was not made of several displays attached to form a big screen - the German firm decided to create one large display from the biggest piece of security glass that specialists could find.

According to Reiner Knollmueller from Stereolize, in order to beam the images onto the screen, the company decided to use a 30,000 ANSI Lumen projector. The latter was so powerful that it gave the impression that the display was self-illuminated.

"An invisible laser curtain generates two-dimensional position data with an update rate of 40ms, which is sufficient for content-driven presentations," said Knollmueller.

Stereolize's programmers and designers developed the final touch of the device - interactive display interface.

Robotic Vehicle that Helps Get Rid of Land Mines















Statistics from UNICEF show that today there are more than 110 million live hand mines located in the soil worldwide. These mines were left from different conflicts that took place several decades ago.

Surely a lot of specialists are working on the issue and in order to help them the DIGGER DTR's D-3 robotic vehicle was developed.

The machine can be remotely controlled from a distance of up to 500 meters (1,640 feet), though the developers recommend controlling the machine from a distance between 50 and 300 meters.

D-3 robotic vehicle is able to trigger mines with the help of either a chain flail or tile attachment. It can trigger mines that are buried in the soil up to 25 centimeters (9.8 in). A portable blast shield was also mounted to protect the operator from flying shrapnel.

In addition, the robotic vehicle is able to clear debris using standard attachments like shovels or forks.

The entire body of the vehicle is steel-plated. The DIGGER DTR D-3 also has a V-shaped undercarriage, developed to draw away the power of explosions out to either side. Its heart is a John Deere diesel engine that generates 173 horsepower.

Its clearance rate is 1,000 square meters (10,764 square feet) per hour.

Remote-Controlled Spherical Flying Object









Fumiyuki Sato, a researcher at the Japanese Defense Ministry's Technical Research and Development Institute, has come up with an original device which he provisionally named "Futuristic Circular Flying Object".

The device represents a radio-controlled black sphere able to roll over different obstacles without getting crashed and can shoot video of locations that suffered from disasters. The video camera incorporated in the device makes up the core of the sphere. The live video footage is instantly transmitted to the person that controls the device.

It is worth mentioning that the flying object, which is about the size of a basketball, was made using lightweight carbon and styrene components, which is why it weights only 348 grams. It is composed of 8 rudders, 16 spoilers and 3 gyro sensors powered by lithium ion batteries.

The device can fly continuously for about 8 minutes and reach a top speed of 37mph, while registering a low noise level. Due to its spherical shape the machine can easily land on virtually any surface and in any position.

Sato required about $1,400 to build his flying sphere, using components from a consumer electronic store. The device can be very useful during calamities, mainly because these take place quite often in the land of the rising sun.
