Plastic Battery from Brown University lasts 100 times more than a standard battery

Awesome new technology from Brown University, this will change a lot of industrial and consumer goods in the future.

The result is a hybrid. Like a capacitor, the battery can be rapidly charged then discharged to deliver power. Like a battery, it can store and deliver that charge over long periods of time. During performance testing, the new battery performed like a hybrid, too. It had twice the storage capacity of an electric double-layer capacitor. And it delivered more than 100 times the power of a standard alkaline battery.

http://zedomax.com/image/200609/tdk32gb.jpg

TDK has announced that it’s reached a capacity of 32GB with its new IDE compatible NAND Flash memory. The Flash disk is roughly 20 percent smaller in size than a standard 2.4-inch notebook drive, consumes less less power and can transfer data at rates up to 33.3MBps. It is currently available only in limited sample quantities, but with all the announcements of similar devices, expect to start seeing these readily available in laptops sometime next year.

Crop cam GPS enabled plane for your farm

Posted in Business, Earth, Industrial, Video by max on the September 17th, 2006 at 12:36 pm

http://zedomax.com/image/200609/cropcamgps.jpg

Here’s an emerging technology that will help farmers become more efficient using the latests GPS gizmos.

The CropCam is a self-guided GPS plane for keeping up with your crops. The farmer tosses it into the air, and the CropCam will fly around in a preset pattern around his fields, snapping precise stills marked with latitude and longitude of the ground below. The six pound plane can cover 160 acres per launch, which is enough for many a farmer, and is a quick option to assess distributions of disease and a convenient way to document growing progress year to year.
