Well nowadays this information spreading everywhere all over internet (blogs, Facebook, YouTube, etc.) that you can charge your mobile phone battery with Sacred Fig Leaves. Some says its true and some says its hoax. They say following guidelines to charge your mobile battery:

Vieria Concept

This conceptual vehicle offers one different point of view over the pollution problems in the big cities. It was designed by Gunwoong Kim and Suji Kim and is equipped with an air filter under the passenger capsule. So here is what we have: fully electric vehicle that ingests dusty and dirty air purifies it and releases clean and breathable air. Sounds good, right? Well, a single car would probably clean small and maybe insignificant amount of air, but imagine thousands of vehicles purifying what you breathe every day?

Hadera Desalination Station

On May 16-th, 2010, Israel consortium unveiled officially the biggest of its kind desalination station in the world. It works using the principle of reverse osmosis and is placed near the coastal city of Hadera. The Israel Company H2ID, jointly owned by IDE Technologies and Shikun & Binui, developed the project. The station delivers 127mln cubic meters desalinated water, or nearly 20% of the annual consumption of households in Israel.

Israel opens largest desalination plant of its kind

(Reuters) - An Israeli consortium unveiled the world's largest reverse osmosis desalination plant on Sunday in the coastal city of Hadera, hoping to help alleviate the arid country's water shortage. Israel's H2ID, which is jointly owned by IDE Technologies and Shikun & Binue, said its plant will supply 127 million cubic meters of desalinated water a year, or about 20 percent of the yearly household consumption in Israel.

Ductility vs. Malleability

Ductility and malleability are properties of metals that show specific characteristics. It is the ductility and malleability property that helps the metals to deform. Ductility is said to be the property of a material to stretch without getting damaged. Metals having ductile property can be stretched into wires. An example is copper wire. Malleability is said to be the property of a material to deform under compression. The metals having malleable property can be rolled or beaten into sheets. An example is aluminum foil. In more simple words, ductility means stretching to wires and malleability means beating to sheets, Ductility means that a metal can be changed to another form by pulling, compression or twisting. On the other hand, Malleability means that a metal can be changed into another form by beating or hitting it hard.

Engine vs Motor

Engine The word “engine” comes from the Latin word “ingenue.” An engine is a device or system (electrical, mechanical, chemical, or even social, human, or political) which affects a result. For instance, a bomb is an engine, a crane is an engine, a water-powered mill is an engine, a political party is also an engine, and even a criminal gang is an engine. Gradually through the decades, “engine” became associated especially with boilers, fire, furnaces, and bombs. In short, any device which tended to get hot and explode. However, the system was still considered to be an “engine” and not just the prime mover. In the 20th century, a motor prime mover was called “the engine.” James Watt put the name “steam” in front of the engine to distinguish it from other engines of that time. Engines are basically the devices which convert any form of energy to bring about mechanical effects. These are made up of pistons and cylinders. These may be categorized into various groups according to...

Dubai to Build Underwater Hotel

Dubai is the place to go if you want to build outrageous or crazy architecture, like buildings as tall as mountains, manmade islands in the shape of the world or, if neither of those is wacky enough for you, then how about an ocean hotel that’s partly submerged in water? That’s the idea for the Water Discus Underwater Hotel from Deep Ocean Technology which is to be built in Dubai and is comprised of futuristic discs which make it look a bit like the Starship Enterprise .
