Marin Soljačić ( A physics professor)  couldn’t sleep while his wife’s mobile kept beeping for low battery and he was so lazy to recharge it, So instead of taking a hammer to the phone, Soljačić marveled at the fact that this device, and billions of others like it, was sitting a few feet away from all the electricity it could ever need. Why couldn’t it receive power wirelessly, just as laptops get Wi-Fi ?

after alot of research Soljačić  learned that if you could get two magnetic fields to resonate , they could transfer an electric current. With two large magnetic coils, he transfered 60 watt wirelessly to  power a light bulb.

one would ask if it was safe to transfer electricity wirelessly ?

“There’s a real perceptual problem,” says CEO Eric Giler Soljačić’s  employer. “People think we’re putting electricity in the air, and that’s called lightning, and they know to stay away from that.”

In fact, the coils turn electricity into magnetic fields, then back into electricity. Magnetic fields interact weakly with humans; as far as the fields are concerned, they are no different from air. Giler makes a point of standing between the coils whenever he demonstrates the technology.

At the Nikkei electronics conference in Tokyo in October, he was able to power a 1,000-watt klieg light from across the room — a big improvment since the  first experment ..

“We’re going up the power curve,” he says. -Chris Taylor

In his presentation Chris Taylor uses his WiTricity to power a TV and to charge mobile phones….. really amazing

and he talked about how the pure electric cars are now easy to use. because you can put a device that charges the battery wirelessly in your garage and once you park your car in it your car batteries will be recharged automatically .

here is a video showing the WiTricity:

Did you notice that all the movies talking about the future got air transportation every where??

well… these movies were based on scientific bases.

can you imagine yourself flying your own vehicle around the world ?!
The folks at NASA have built something called “The Highway in the Sky.” It’s a computer system designed to let millions of people fly whenever they please, and take off and land from wherever they please, in their very own vehicles.

people started building flying vehicles that you can buy so very soon every one will be able to fly with his own vehicle

One of those people is an inventor named Woody Norris, he received America’s top prize for invention. It’s called the Lemelson-MIT award — a half-million dollar cash prize to honor his life’s work, which includes a brand new personal flying machine.

Norris, 66, asked one of his test pilots to demonstrate the AirScooter for 60 Minutes on a hilltop outside San Diego, Calif. It can fly for 2 hours at 55 mph, and go up to 10,000 feet above sea level.

i expect that 10 years from now, flying cars will replace the regular cars.

here is a small video that demonstrate how the flying car might look like .

do you hate the computer mouse or pads ?

would you like to surf the internet with your eyes  instead ?

if you answered yes, then you might be interested to know about the EyePoint system developed by Stanford University doctoral researcher Manu Kumar.

“Using gaze-based interaction techniques makes the system appear to be more intelligent and intuitive to use,” says Kumar. “Several users have reported that it often felt like the system was reading their mind.”

Here’s how it works: While looking at a screen, the user presses a hot key on the keyboard, magnifying the area being viewed. The user then looks at the link within the enlarged area and releases the hot key, thereby activating the link.
several orders can be given, like clicking, moving the cursor,drag and drop…..etc.
Eye tracking, which has been around for decades, typically uses infrared devices embedded into a headset or a monitor frame. The devices track the centers of the user’s pupils and then calculate which part of the screen the user is viewing.

This method, however, is not 100% accurate . but still its a cool thing to try .

here is a video that demonstrate what i’m talking about :

The prototype device contains an electric circuit as well as red light-emitting diodes for a display, though it does not yet light up. The lenses were tested on rabbits for up to 20 minutes and the animals showed no adverse effects.

“Ideally, installing or removing the bionic eye would be as easy as popping a contact lens in or out, and once installed the wearer would barely know the gadget was there” said Parviz ,a UW assistant professor of electrical engineering.

There are many possible uses for virtual displays. Drivers or pilots could see a vehicle’s speed projected onto the windshield. Continues  monitoring the health of the body . Video-game companies could use the contact lenses to completely immerse players in a virtual world without restricting their range of motion. And for communications, people on the go could surf the Internet on a midair virtual display screen that only they would be able to see.

the Bionic lens are used for the blind people,it lets them see again in black and white, but with further research everything is possible.

one of the problems the research team is facing is how to transmit power witlessly to the lens, once the problems are solved the lens will provide a super human vision for the one who is wearing it . 
here is a photo of the lens:

have a nice day

now, lets say that we use the projector for  8 hours a day on average, the projector should live 6.9 years.

in conclusion , i decided to go for the projector since it has a 100 inch screen and coasts less, and i can move it to where i want without breaking my back.

here is some pictures of  Casio XJ-A135 Projector:

Did you know
that the military commander and the French emperor «Napoleon bonaparte» used to panic when faced with a cat

if the horses tail get cut off it dies

Stan Munro a 38 years old man built a huge toothpick city, it took him 6 years to build those buildings .

he used 6 million toothpick and 170 litter of glue.

every building took 6 months of hard work.

i think he is one  of the most patient men in the world.

here is some of his work:

thanks for your time.

have a nice day .

Optoma has unveiled the ultimate in pico projectors, which can throw an amazing 60 inch screen from a device that’s small enough to fit in your pocket! The Optoma Pico Pocket Projector is the worlds smallest and lightest projector of its type, and the first to use DLP technology to guarantee remarkable image quality. Simply connect the Optoma Pico to a variety of media devices for instant home cinema-size images and share videos or photos with friends, watch a film on the move or present in a meeting.

Small and light at just 115g, yet also strong and durable, the battery-operated Optoma Pico is primed for instant plug and play viewing on the move, to bring images to life from personal media players, mobile phones, iPods, PDAs and cameras. With a highly competitive battery life of two hours, this gives plenty of time to view an entire movie on one charge or get through an extended meeting.

Technical Specifications

• Contrast Ratio 1000:1

• Lamp Life 20,000 hour

• Weight 115g

• Dimensions W50mm (2”) D103mm (3”) H15mm (1/2”)

• Speaker 1 x 0.5w

• Proj. Distance Min 0.25 – Max 2.6m
