What is Hyperloop and how does it work?

Hyperloop is a proposed system of transport that would see pods or containers travel at high speeds through a tube that has been pumped into a near-vacuum. The train pods would either float using magnetic levitation technology or float using air caster "skis", similar to how pucks travel across an air hockey table.

With so little friction in the tunnel, the pods would be able to travel at immense speeds with a projected top speeds of 760mph.The pod would initially launch using an electric motor before levitation takes place and the pod can glide at cruising speed in the low-pressure environment. Tunnels for the Hyperloop would be built either above or below ground, at only around 3m in diameter, taking up a smaller ground footprint than traditional rail and road.Many of the current designs feature autonomous pods that can be launched on demand as frequently as every 20 seconds. Others suggest eco-friendly designs, powering the pressure pumps with clean energy such as solar.

ETF- MINING TRUCK

Image
BATTERY ELECTRIC MINING TRUCKS WITH ENERGY HARVESTING ETF MINING,  Established in the UAE in 2009, ETF has been a long time in the making.  For many years, ETF walked the traitorous road that innovation on an industrial scale brings. Still, with over 20 mi views on YouTube, it intrigued the mining industry the world over. Its deep innovation leaving many fascinated and inspiring talent all over the world. But left even many more convinced it would never happen.  End 2014, it almost wasn’t. In 2015, ETF HOLDING BV was incorporated in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and now controls its affiliates ETF European Truck Factory GMBH and ETF FZE.  ETF also expanded its shareholder base and sanitized its balance sheet . Features of ETF Truck:- Largest Trucks in the World ETF makes the largest mining trucks in the world. Starting with 180 metric tonnes payload. The largest truck has 774 metric tonnes payload.

USB 3.0 Speeds Up Performance

Image
The USB connector has been one of the greatest success stories in the history of computing, with more than 2 billion USB-connected devices sold to date. But in an age of terabyte hard drives, the once-cool throughput of 480 megabits per second that a USB 2.0 device can realistically provide just doesn't cut it any longer. What is it?   USB 3.0 (aka "SuperSpeed USB")  promises to increase performance by a factor of 10, pushing the theoretical maximum throughput of the connector all the way up to 4.8 gigabits per second, or processing roughly the equivalent of an entire CD-R disc every second. USB 3.0 devices will use a slightly different connector, but USB 3.0 ports are expected to be backward-compatible with current USB plugs, and vice versa. USB 3.0 should also greatly enhance the power efficiency of USB devices, while increasing the juice (nearly one full amp, up from 0.1 amps) available to them. That means faster charging times for your iPod--and probably even mo...

Tangible User Interface (TUI)

Image
A  tangible user interface  (TUI) is a user interface in which a person interacts with digital information through the physical environment. The initial name was Graspable User Interface, which is no longer used. The purpose of TUI development is to empower collaboration, learning, and design by giving physical forms to digital information, thus taking advantage of human abilities of grasp and manipulate physical objects and materials. One of the pioneers in tangible user interfaces is Hiroshi Ishii, a professor in the MIT Media Laboratory who heads the Tangible Media Group. His particular vision for tangible UIs, called  Tangible Bits , is to give physical form to digital information, making bits directly manipulable and perceptible. Tangible bits pursues the seamless coupling between physical objects and virtual data. Characteristics Physical representations are computationally coupled to underlying digital information. Physical rep...
