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:

Here is a joke i read today and  thought it was funny, its a little long but its worth reading :

A lawyer and a blonde are sitting next to each other on a long flight from LA to NY. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

The lawyer persists and explains that the game is really easy and a lot of fun. He explains” I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5, and vice-versa.” Again, she politely declines and tries to get some sleep. 

The lawyer, now somewhat agitated, says, “Okay, if you don’t know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don’t know the answer, I will pay you $500,” figuring that since she is a blonde that he will easily win the match. This catches the blonde’s attention and, figuring that there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game. 

The lawyer asks the first question. “What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?” The blonde doesn’t say a word, reaches in to her purse, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the lawyer. Now, it’s the blonde’s turn. 

She asks the lawyer: “What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?” The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references. He taps into the Air phone with his modem and searches the Net and the Library of Congress. 

Frustrated, he sends E-mails to all his coworkers and friends he knows. After over an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500. The blonde politely takes the $500 and turns away to get back to sleep. 

The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, “Well, so what IS the answer!?” Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep!

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 . 

and here is some pictures:

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 First video is the commercial, the second is how they did it. truly amazing!

How They Made it:

Few days left since Google had lunched there own ” Social Media” feature, which is “Google Buzz” . And hey!.. they are buzzing around! they are, even if you just hang out a little bit on the “Major” Websites or Blogs.. you will find it out! they are very scared that Google buzz is gonna get popular somehow! that’s why they are putting a “Buzz” Click-able icon on every new post/article!, actually, they are so damn right! Here in Eyezed we are gonna do the same too! Google Buzz is gonna be somthing..Pal!

The Question that we all asks so much, and we never answer it back!, “Where We Are Goin’ ?”

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:

What the creators of the EyeZed Project (Rasheed , KingShady and me ) are trying to do here, is creating a Website that will get you the news of technology in a new way, the normal human way , the way we like to see it , and we are hoping that you will engage with us , discussing the latest technology in our normal human way…getting the latest normal human Tech. Related events news…every thing on this site will be , yes, in our normal human way.

We might even cover news from small Technology companies , you know why , because these are the companies that  run by a normal human , and we will cover Microsoft , Apple and all of these big companies , because these are the companies that normal human want to read about…

I wish I can tell you how much we are normal human people , trying to show you the technology in our way…but as a normal human , I need to sleep , and I must write this article so I don’t lose money…a Normal human reaction.

So by assuring you that my next article will be Technology related one , I will say you good night from your Normal Human Technology Website.

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:
