The benefits of watermelon that lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that prevents free radicals destroy our cells and impair the immune system. Some researchers believe that lycopene also fights heart disease and certain types of cancer.

Do not think that the color flesh is always the same. There are yellow and watermelon Yellow Crimson with more sweet honey flavor. However, no studies of its useful qualities has been conducted, scientists have always been interested in the classic pink inside watermelons.



Russian programmer suggested manage smartphone using insoles FootSense




Russian inventor and programmer has created a device that has been called FootSense. Gadget, authorship, which belongs to the team of Igor Barinov is nothing like insole. FootSense looks like a very ordinary insole for shoes and at first glance a little different from most other insoles that are hard to see people. The main feature of these insoles is that using them can manage almost any smartphone.


Creator FootSense told that while insoles are able to not so much as he would like, but a lot more than he expected when he took over the project. Today using FootSense can make phone calls to several numbers. Also with this device can send a text message. Regarding the latter, it will have to learn Morse code, which makes the insole FootSense several specialized.


In addition, the author noted, FootSense can turn on and off camera, can do the same thing with a voice recorder and even some mobile applications. Based on the principle of the whole powerful toes pressed to different parts of the insole.


To be useful such insole FootSense?


The team that worked on FootSense proposed wide list of potential customers, which included gamers, office workers, athletes, people with disabilities and many other categories. Insoles may also be useful in an emergency, when there is a need to make a call, dial the number but simple way – is not possible.


Relative cost FootSense not yet known. Output device on the market is expected in the near future and in the U.S., as it was there temporarily resides created insoles. The inventor said that while investment in the project it will search for a means kraudfandinga. In the Russian market fancy gadget will appear in case of success in September.



Indian engineers built the first solar cell is flooded




Indian engineers and scientists decided to build a “solar cell” (station receiving solar energy using appropriate batteries) can not only on land but also on the water. As known, this kind of complexes, for best efficiency, must occupy a substantial area.


Green electricity, which bears from space Sun itself, be very expensive in terms of land, and in the case of India, the initiators of the construction of such systems at risk to pay exorbitant prices. The reason for this lies in the fact that not so long ago, the country has seen a sharp rise in price of land in several states. Ironically, the land has risen in those states in India, which are best suited for the construction of solar systems.


Project solar cell on water


Based on the fact that such an expensive electric solar cell nobody needs, Indian engineers have used the feature of the legislation and decided to create a solar cell plant project on the water. In order to better understand the situation, it is worth knowing that the construction of such complexes in the water is not associated with small financial cost, as well as the process of the construction will take longer. However, despite this, the most conservative estimates, the construction of stations on the water, allow India to save 15-20% of the cost of construction, which subsequently will impact on the final price of the received energy.


I should add that solar power projects in the water appeared before, but until then, they are all gone out of the concept stage or project. In India, the same has been collected first experimental station of this kind. Moreover, the government has already agreed to give the initial 72 million U.S. dollars for the construction of such complexes in all appropriate reservoirs of the country. Build such stations will be solely on the lakes.



AeroVelo - the fastest and most unusual bike in the world


In Nevada, an annual festival held fast bike, which was presented to several dozen different models of the new generation bikes. All of them are highly specialized and can hardly be applied to, say in an urban setting. Nevertheless, every year at the festival are going the fastest bikes in the world. One of those was a bicycle and AeroVelo, which won first place in the competition and thus became the fastest bike in the world today.





Because of its unusual design, as well as the presence of the streamlined body, bike AeroVelo can reach speeds up to 140 km \ h In order to manage AeroVelo cyclist should get into the case and close it. It is noteworthy that during the ride he is in a lying position. The rotation of the pedals are down, they also carried out and the direction of the bike in hand. The system has two AeroVelo brakes – a traditional pedal and a spare hand.


Price - AeroVelo


The cost of a bicycle is known is not known, however, the budget kraudfandingovoy of 30 000 dollars. The creators of the bike said that their creation is made from environmentally friendly materials and recycled materials, which also lowers its price. About how much can be such a popular bike, one can only guess.


AeroVelo applicable only for long trips, however, despite this, its creators have almost managed to collect the required amount. Suggestive output bicycle market is expected in August 2014. Party will be limited, only 150 units AeroVelo, but the creators have promised that everyone will be able to order sverhgonochny bike directly at them.

Smart buoy rescue from shark




Sharks – a serious threat to a large number of beaches, where every day going out hundreds and thousands of people. Despite the fact that against these sea creatures are trying to take different kinds of countermeasures, all of them, as practice shows, are not sufficient. Frankly, when it comes to safety, no measures can not be redundant, because the more reliable – the better.


The company’s engineers Optus created a device that received no intricate name Clever Buoy, which translates to English as “smart buoy”. As the name implies, the new device – buoy is not very different in appearance from most other marine buoys to indicate depth. The difference is that Clever Buoy – is not just a marker, but also a dedicated device capable of tracking sharks.


Watching sea predators Clever Buoy using sonar. The device is able to distinguish between the various marine life so never confuse a school of fish with the approaching shark. Once Clever Buoy pinpoint sonar sea predator, he immediately sends information manager with the picture nautical chart. If the threat is real – and the operator commands the buoy emits an alarm.


If for some reason the operator ignored messages buoy or simply signaled a shark continues to move in a dangerous direction for the people, will signal buoy yourself with will focus on the fact that the shark be close.


Experts from Optus believe that every beach with sharks worth installing on more than one device, depending on the length of the beach. Put Clever Buoy stands for dangerous depth direction. So that in the case of capturing sharks approach, swimmers and let people was not large, but sufficient time for it to leave the water.
