Levitating Stones

If you have heard about the Coral Castle and have no explanation to this phenomenon, then you'd be interested in Diamagnetic Levitation.

This is when you apply magnetism to any element (for instance, a rock) and this magnetic force makes it levitate because all the atoms inside are aligned and so it becomes magnetic.

This has been done but the magnetic force is currently very very low. In any way, the genius of Edward Leedskalnin achieved the way to increase this force as much as for levitating very heavy stones and move them around. All with simple hand-made tools.

Turbinas para generar electricidad en tu casa

Lightweight, compact ring-turbine -- Can even be installed on small buildings #DigInfo - YouTube

"

Estas turbinas que ya son una realidad en Asia, no hacen nada de ruido. Giran en base a imanes y están protegidas para que ningún pájaro o una persona resulte dañada.

No solo que genera electricidad suficiente para una casa sino que se puede instalar cómodamente en un techo muy débil (ver video, que la instalan en una casucha realmente débil)

Los ruidos de baja frecuencia tampoco existen con esta turbina (que es una de las molestias de otras turbinas) porque hay un ruido molesto que no sabes de dónda sale :-)

Espero se comercialice pronto en el mundo (si no es que la elite del dinero la sabotea primero)

Pantallas translúcidas: Una realidad - Youtube

▶ See-through projection display with over 80% transmittance levels under development #DigInfo - YouTube:



Interesante realidad que en las películas se muestra como futuro certero.

Y la idea de las pantallas translúcidas de Pioneer es bien simple: que todo el color negro no se pinte, sino que se deje ver lo que está detrás.

Mi visión de esto es que solamente podremos tener pantallas más livianas y delgadas. Pero de utilidad no le he visto todavía (en el caso de uso doméstico o laboral. Le veo un uso interesante para muestratios multimedia en tiendas o similares). Es más, tal vez me distraiga cuando la use y me vea obligado a poner un manto negro detrás para tener una mejor experiencia.

Youtube Free Audio Library


Google just created this wonderful audio repository for us to add background music to our videos.

http://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary

Pay attention to this because this is the way good things work: First you think on your behalf (in this case, Google needs videos from people). This is the only thing you need to keep in mind to find solutions.

You want something to yourself but you have other isses to get what you want:

1) People need audio for their videos.
2) There is a copyright issue for audio files on people's videos.

So, to solve this, you invest time and money to get more: Create an audio library for people. Problem solved.

And thanks to this way of thinking, Google is the best company there is now. Other companies say "I don't care if users want to put audio in their videos. They must get them from where they want, but if they use stolen audios, I'll remove those videos. Sorry"

That way of thinking lets you out of business, as it's happening right now with giant companies like BlackBerry. I remember BlackBerry used to say "I don't want to share my BBM to other platforms. We don't need to. If users want to chat with the BBM they must buy a BlackBerry device". Look at them now..
