Cool, this guy’s on TV for tryin’ to build a nuclear reactor. Too bad he didn’t have a SiteHoppin.com shirt on… :p Apparently bored of his amateur game-building hobby, he decided to try to make a small-scale nuclear reaction in his room, blogging his antics on the web. Someone blew the whistle on him when he made claims about uranium and doubling the normal back ...

This could be a thing of the past, when a system created by HWST USA, can detect if a cell phone is being used by a driver of car while the car is moving. This has been seriously considered by many states in the US, as the chances of an accident is increased by around 400 per cent if a driver is using a cell phone while driving. The system will automatically detect if the driver is usin ...

Comments

Here’s a great concept for re-using the wind generated from cars racing on the highways. Great idea! Save earth and peace! Average vehicle speeds on the valley highways are approximately 70 mph.
