The Pont du Gard (Gard Bridge)

Image
"The Pont du Gard (Gard Bridge)"   is an ancient Roman aqueduct  bridge that crosses the Gardon  River in Vers-Pont-du- Gard near Remoulins, in the Gard  département of southern France .  It is part of the Nîmes aqueduct, a  50 km-long (31 mi) structure built  by the Romans to carry water  from a spring at Uzès to the  Roman colony of Nemausus  (Nîmes). Because the terrain  between the two points is hilly, the  aqueduct – built mostly  underground – took a long, winding  route that crossed the gorge of the  Gardon, requiring the construction  of an aqueduct bridge. Built in the  1st century AD, the Pont du Gard  is the highest of all Roman  aqueduct bridges and is the best preserved with the Aqueduct of Segovia . It was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1985 because of its historical importance.

World's first car drivable inside water!!!

Image
The sQuba, developed by Swiss company Rinspeed , is the world's first car that can be driven both on land and under water.The original idea by Rinspeed founder and CEO Frank M. Rinderknecht was inspired by the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me .The chassis from the Lotus Elise is used as the base for this vehicle.  The sQuba is a zero-emission, all  electric vehicle which uses three electric motors, one for land travel, two for water. It drives on land powered by its electric rear-wheel drive powertrain, utilizing rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Upon entering water, it floats on the surface until the operator floods the interior to submerge it. It can be submerged to a depth of 10 metres (33 ft), powered by twin electric-powered propellers supplemented by two Seabob water jets. It "flies" when underwater, like a submarine, as it is not designed to drive along the surface at the bottom of the water. The car's top land speed is 120 km/h (75 mph) . On

How Fuel Ionizers Work?

Fuel ionizer is one of the simple magnet ionizer gadgets which was newly introduced into the market after a big scientific research on the improvement of the fuel efficiency and increase the efficiency of the engine with a simple installation process. Fuel ionizers are the energy tubes which are made of aluminium and steel case. Scientifically we can say that the fuel consumption in the internal consumption which is based on the concept that converts the 30-35% of the neutral ions within the petroleum fuel. Ionizers make the ions recharge the neutral molecules produces the charged ion pairs and make them as a useful energy and these become the stable energy source. This type of ionization process can be implemented in some of the unstable energy source which are being used are all types of gasoline products, diesel, LPG [Liquid Petroleum Gas] and some of the oil which are used in the furnaces. Fuel ionizers basically work on the internal combustion engines which help in po

WEAVING

Image
Weaving is one of the processes that required in textile in terms of producing a fabric. From the fiber then become a yarn through some other process, weaving is a process of interlacing two types of yarn known as warp or ends (run parallel to the weaving machine known as loom) and weft or filling yarn (run perpendicular to the loom) to produce a rigid fabric. In order to interlace the  warp and weft yarn, there are three operations which often called primary motions are necessary: Shedding- The process of separating the warp yarn into two layers by raising the harness to form an open area between two sets of warps and known as shed. Picking- The process of inserting the filling yarn through the shed by the means of the shuttleless while the shed is opening. Beating- The process of pushing the filling yarn into the already woven fabric at a point known as the fell and done by the reed.

AVAILABILITY BASED TARRIF (ABT)

Availability Based Tariff   (ABT) is a frequency based pricing mechanism for electric power. The ABT falls under   electricity market   mechanisms to charge and regulate power to achieve short term and long term network stability as well as incentives and dis-incentives to market participants against deviations in committed supplies as the case may be. ABT Mechanism ( Energy policy of India ) is adopted in India (ABT Order dated January 2000 of CERC) and in a few other countries for pricing bulk power across various stakeholders. ABT concerns itself with the tariff structure for bulk power and is aimed at bringing about more responsibility and accountability in power generation and consumption through a scheme of incentives and disincentives. As per the notification, ABT was initially made applicable to only central generating stations having more than one SEB/State/Union Territory as its beneficiary.  Through this scheme, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission   (CERC)

Artocos

Rebar Group is John Bela, Rachael Yu, Matthew Passmore, Blaine Merker, Teresa Aquilera, and Masha Slavnova Additional support from Geoff Sharples, Ric O’Connell, Grant Ballard, and Sahar Qawasmi Designed for Site #1 in Dubai, adjacent to Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. Design Submission for the 2010 Land Art Generator Initiative Design Competition Artist’s descriptive text: CONCEPT OVERVIEW Artocos are folded shell structures that capture and combine solar energy and wind to generate power, create space to inhabit and contemplate the surrounding ecosystem, and make visible and audible environmental processes that shape our lives. Each piece is composed of a double layer wall oriented to the path of the sun. Internal walls are clad with dark-colored thin film photovoltaic modules. Air enters through grated air intake vents facing the predominant wind direction. Sunlight heats the air in the chamber between the walls generating a convection air current while activating the photov

Boiler systems

Image
Boiler systems are classified in a variety of ways. They can be classified according to the end use, such as foe heating, power generation or process requirements. Or they can be classified according to pressure, materials of construction, size tube contents (for example, waterside or fireside), firing, heat source or circulation. Boilers are also distinguished by their method of fabrication. Accordingly, a boiler can be pack aged or field erected. Sometimes boilers are classified by their heat source. For example, they are often referred to as oil-fired, gas-fired, coal-fired, or solid fuel –fired boilers. Types of boilers: Fire tube boilers : Fire tube boilers consist of a series of straight tubes that are housed inside a water-filled outer shell. The tubes are arranged so that hot combustion gases flow through the tubes. As the hot gases flow through the tubes, they heat the water surrounding the tubes. The water is confined by the outer shell of boiler. To avoid the

Ecological Conditions on Earth

Present conditions of the Eco-system that are made a vast changes of the earth's ecological system due the rough behavior of the human being of the earth which they are depending upon their various resources for the survival of the human life on earth by providing the water as a main source to the man and other living thing. As the time and decades go on the technology which is developed by the man is being upgraded into number of versions but the usage of the water is being deploying by the man with number of contaminants into the water resources with all kind of human wastes,industrial wastes,animal wastes an many more different kinds of pollution's that is effecting the earth in different directions by the man. Gradually the resistance and capabilities of the earth is getting reduces and the causing the natural calamities by the earth which is effecting the human and the other living organisms life. there are different kinds of pollution which of affected to

BE AWARE OF WEARING CONTACT LENSES

Image
IMPORTANT INFORMATION : A 21 year old girl had worn a pair of contact lenses during a barbecue party.(An event or meal at which food is cooked outdoors over an open grill or fire) While barbecuing he stared at the fire charcoals continuously for 2-3 minutes.After a few minutes, She started to scream for help and moved rapidly, jumping up and down. No one in the party knew why she was doing this? Then she admitted into the Hospital, the doctor said she'll be blind permanently because of the contact lenses that he had worn. Contact lenses are made by plastics, and the heat from the charcoal melted his contact lenses. DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES WHERE OVERHEATING and FLAMES are concerned.... or while COOKING...! Friends if u feel the information is important, Please SHARE this message to all your near & dear ones who use contact lens.
