On the net there is a news circulating about “Personal” Nuclear reactor.
I did not find any confirmation on Toshiba web site, but here are projected specs for Toshiba MicroNuclear:
Dimensions: 20×6 ft (1 foot = 0.3048 meters)
Power: 200 kilowatt
Security: fail-safe and totally automatic and will not overheat
Fuel: liquid lithium-6
Expected life: 40 years
Electricity cost: 5 c/ kW
Expected date: 2008
Price: ???????
Knowing price tag for current Nuclear reactors this may not fit in my budget for next year Christmas shopping, but it may be good solution for remote areas or as backup power source for data-centers.
I must share it…..
Here is the instructional video:
Scientifically predicting the weather is something really hard, and you need a lot of information and powerful computers to do it. So how our grandparents were able to predict weather without watching TV forecast.
wikiHow published interesting article of how this could be done.
College and Finance have a list of most overlooked items to bring when going to College/University campus.
It is really interesting list, unfortunately is little bit late for me I hope that t will help you.
I personally will add personal printer. Probably you will print most of the content at campus provided printer, but sometimes you need one or 2 pages urgently. In addition if you opt for MFU (multyfunctional unit) you will have scanner/copier too.
The group of students from Wayland High School, John D. O’Bryant School of Math and Science, and Cambridge Rindge and Latin School working with four MIT students succeed to build transportation vehicle similar to Segway.
There is a lot to be done, but at least their effort is working.
For more info see the website.
DANGER(from the website): Segways, like any large machine, can be very dangerous. This site is intended for informational, not instructional, purposes. Attempt/build at your own risk. Be careful!
Yesterday I saw pre-premiere of Stardust.
It is really good movie with a lot of humour.
I recommend you to watch it when it is out on 10 Aug.
