Teknologi Transportasi Masa Depan

Evacuated Tube Transport



Evacuated Tube Transport adalah alat transportasi modern seperti kereta, namun mampu melintas dengan kecepatan 6.500 kilometer per jam. Alat transportasi ini menggunakan tabung hampa udara dengan enam kursi, dengan gerbong sebesar 183 kg. Gerbong ini dirancang dengan tujuan untuk mencapai kecepatan fenomenal hingga 4.000 mph (6.500 km/jam), dengan menggunakan energi jauh lebih sedikit daripada metode transportasi konvensional. Tabung ini memungkinkan penumpang untuk melakukan perjalanan dari New York ke Los Angeles hanya dalam 45 menit, dari New York ke Cina hanya dalam dua jam, atau keliling dunia hanya dalam enam jam. Rel Evacuated Tube Transport  itu sendiri bernama personal rapid transit. Sistem transportasinya menggunakan pipa kedap suara yang ditenagai motor elektrik.
Pengembang dari Evacuated Tube Transport  mengatakan jika rancangannya bahkan akan lebih murah, lebih aman, dan lebih tenang dibandingkan dengan kereta api atau pesawat terbang. Pengembang dari Evacuated Tube Transport menklaim jika sistem yang mereka terapkan bahkan mampu 50 kali lebih cepat dari mobil listrik atau kereta api super cepat. Dengan Evacuated Tube Transport, jarak antara New York ke Los Angeles hanya 45 menit, dan New York ke China hanya dua jam, dan keliling dunia hanya enam jam. Namun hingga sekarang belum ada pihak yang berminat untuk mengembangkannya. Meski Evacuated Tube Transport  telah diciptakan sejak tahun 1990 oleh insinyur mekanik Daryl Oster dan dipatenkan tahun 1997.
Dalam proyek ini belum dijelaskan tentang bagaimana mekanisme tabung ini pada saat akan menyebrangi samudera yang luas untuk menuju benua lain. Menurut pendapat Saya akan lebih baik jika Evacuated Tube Transport ditambahkan sistem seperti roket di dalamnya. Sehingga pada saat alat transportasi ini akan menuju benua lain yang harus melewati samudra luas secara otomatis sistem roket akan berfungsi dan alat transportasi ini dapat melewati samudra layaknya sebuah roket. Sebaiknya pada ujung dari rel lintasan juga diberi sebuah sensor yang dapat mendeteksi ketika tabung mendekati ujung rel dan secara otomatis ujung rel dapat membuka agar tabung dapat keluar. Mekanismenya ketika tabung tersebut mendekati ujung rel, sensor akan aktif dan secara otomatis ujung rel terbuka dan tabung keluar dari lintasan rel. Seiring akan keluarnya tabung ini dari rel lintasan, sistem roket mulai aktif dan berfungsi, sehingga ketika tabung keluar dari lintasan, tabung tersebut dapat terbang layaknya roket menuju rel lintasan di benua yang akan dituju. Pada tabung juga sebaiknya ditambahkan sebuah alat seperti GPS yang secara otomatis dapat mendeteksi rel lintasan yang akan dituju sehingga arah tabung dari rel lintasan sebelumnya ke lintasan yang akan dituju tepat dan sesuai. Sensor pada ujung rel akan aktif dan akan membuka dan Evacuated Tube Transport dapat masuk lintasan kembali.

‘Big Bang Theory’ show raises $4M for UCLA science scholarships



Budding real-life scientists can get a boost from the stars of the television sit-com "The Big Bang Theory" in the form of scholarships amounting to a whopping $4 million.
 
The scholarships, to be offered at the University of California in Los Angeles, are appropriately named the Big Bang Theory Scholarship Endowment, the LA Times reported.
 
STEM beneficiaries
 
Expected to benefit are undergraduates majoring in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
 
An initial batch of 20 Big Bang Theory scholars will get grants based on need and academic merit, starting this fall.
 
Five more UCLA students will be added to the program every year.
 
UCLA said this was the first time it got a scholarship endowment created by the cast and crew of a television series.
 
Funding the scholarship is show co-creator and executive producer Chuck Lorre.
 
Giving back
 
"We have all been given a gift with 'The Big Bang Theory,' a show that's not only based in the scientific community, but also enthusiastically supported by that same community. This is our opportunity to give back," Lorre said in a statement.
 
Scholars will get gifts from about 50 others including stars Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch.
 
The LA Times noted the TV series has "deep UC connections," including UCLA physics and astronomy professor David Saltzberg as its science consultant.
 
Bialik earned her neuroscience doctorate from UCLA, it added.

As it happened: Pakistan vs Zimbabwe, 3rd ODI at Gaddafi stadium

As it happened: Pakistan vs Zimbabwe, 3rd ODI at Gaddafi stadium


Photo Credit: AFP.

Lahore: Taking heart from Sikandar Raza's century in the previous game, Zimbabwe will aim to avoid a whitewash as they meet Pakistan in their third and final one-day international at the Gaddafi Stadium.
Pakistan have already pocketed the series having won the previous two encounters of their first home series since 2009 and will look to seal the deal by clinching the last game.

But with Sikandar having scored a century on Friday, Zimbabwe may have a bit more confidence as they look to clinch a competitive victory over a Test playing nation.

Commentary (Zimbabwe 1st Innings)

AZHAR ALI has been named the Man of the Series. That's all we have from this series. Zimbabwe will head back home while Pakistan will make their way to Sri Lanka for a tour there. Until then, goodbye and take care.
Come the 2nd ODI, Sikandar Raza cracked a ton while for the hosts the skipper lead from the front and led them to victory. In all, Zimbabwe lacked that extra bite needed in the batting department to take them home.
It was never a one sided match and Zimbabwe fought till their very last breath even though the results suggests otherwise. The bowling was mediocre from both the sides and no one really stood out. However there were plenty of batting heroes for both the teams. Malik on his comeback struck a smashing ton while for the visitors the skipper, Chigumbura too retaliated with a tantamount performance which got him to his maiden ton.
Pakistan posted a total which looked very chasable on this belter of a track. Zimbabwe did not lose the plot completely and did a good job to restrict them to under 300. Zimbabwe have the firepower in the batting department and they would have had the belief to back themselves and hunt this total down. However it was not meant to be as nature has had a say in this game with the rain pouring down.
Bad news folks, the match has been abandoned and with that Pakistan have won this series 2-0. Pakistan will not be too happy with this news as they would have liked a 3-0 whitewash that would better their chances of qualifying for the champions trophy. Zimbabwe too were looking solid out there but unfortunately for them as well, they will have to return home without a single win.
Oh dear! After the floodlights and then the dust storm, now it's rain. Looks like nature is against the happening of this game. It has started to rain now and the players are making their way back to the pavilion. The covers are being rushed on as well. Stay tuned for updates.

Niebezpieczne zabawki. Nie kupuj ich dziecku



Dzień Dziecka powinien kojarzyć się ze szczęściem, beztroską atmosferą lub przemyślanym upominkiem, który nie tylko sprawi radość, ale będzie również stosowny do wieku. Nie jest trudno wpaść do sklepu z zabawkami lub supermarketu i wybrać pierwszą lepszą kolorową rzecz. Nie jest również trudno spełnić pierwszy kaprys dziecka, nie zważając na to, że na prezent, którego pragnie mogłoby jeszcze spokojnie poczekać kilka lat. Jakich prezentów nie powinniście kupować swoim dzieciom na Dzień Dziecka?

BRUTALNA GRA KOMPUTEROWA - Nie trzeba tu wiele tłumaczyć. Filmy i gry komputerowe mają ogromny wpływ na rozwój dziecka. Niektóre wykonane są na tyle realistycznie, że trwale mogą odbić się na psychice dziecka. Przy zakupie tego typu produktów, musimy zwracać szczególną uwagę na znaki ograniczające wiekowo (umieszczone na opakowaniach)

ОФИЦИАЛЬНО: MICROSOFT ОБЪЯВИЛА ДАТУ ВЫХОДА WINDOWS 10

ОФИЦИАЛЬНО: MICROSOFT ОБЪЯВИЛА ДАТУ ВЫХОДА WINDOWS 10


Компания Microsoft в 2015 году соберет все устройства — компьютеры, планшеты, ноутбуки, смартфоны, приставки, «умные» гаджеты — под единой ОС Windows 10 (в семи вариациях), которая станет последней системой. Обновление принесет много новшеств, о которых Microsoft неустанно рассказывает уже более полугода, в последний раз в ходе своей ежегодной конференции в конце апреля. Для действующих пользователей компания пообещала дать возможность обновиться бесплатно, а теперь официально объявила о дате выхода ОС.

Windows 10 выйдет, как и предполагалось ранее, летом, а конкретно 29 июля. Именно в этот день пользователи смогут бесплатно обновить домашние и профессиональные версии Windows 7 и Windows 8.1. Outlook и OneNote будут доступны бесплатно в составе системы, а вот офис, судя по контексту заявления компании, будет продаваться отдельно, причем можно будет выбрать конкретную программу (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), а не приобретать полный пакет.  
Процесс подготовки к запуску идет полным ходом. Производитель не только работает над самой ОС и новыми возможностями, но и занимается наведением порядка в фирменном магазине Windows Store. К сожалению, Microsoft говорит, что «29 июля вы можете получить Windows 10 для компьютеров и планшетов», однако тактично не упоминает смартфоны. Видимо, слухи оказались правдивыми: мобильная ОС задерживается не появится вместе с настольной системой.
Пока непонятно, как Microsoft планирует зарабатывать на системе, учитывая сильный акцент на том, что бесплатный переход будет возможен в течение первого года после ее официального релиза. Одним из вероятных вариантов является внедрение подписки, на что ранее намекал главный операционный директор Microsoft Кевин Тернер (Kevin Turner). Это было бы логичным шагом, учитывая постепенное обновление системы, как мы видим, например, в случае развития интернет-сервисов или сторонних браузеров. Однако компания уже пообещала бесплатное обслуживание на весь срок эксплуатации, что намекает нам на дополнительные возможности ОС за специальную плату, как внутриигровые покупки, например. Как именно это будет реализовано, мы узнаем уже совсем скоро.
