The first robot that thinks himself

Osamu Hasegawa, a professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology, has developed a system that allows robots to solve problems by themselves correlations from data taken from the environment and from internet.

"The Self-Organising Neural Network Incremental" or SOINN is an algorithm that allows robots to use their previous knowledge to carry out tasks.

 Thus, SOINN is examining the environment to gather data they need in order to organize the information as a coherent set of instructions. 

 In a laboratory demonstration, when the robot was required to "serve water," he began to divide the task into a series of previously learned skills: how to hold a cup, how to take a bottle, pour water from a bottle in glass and how to put a glass down. Without having a special program related to water servant, alone finds the order in which must perform the tasks. SOINN determines that a task is beyond his abilities, ask for help and learn, by storing data for the next time to carry out the action.

 Hasegawa's team goal is to try to merge these capabilities, creating a robot that performs searches on the internet to learn how to do certain actions.

The future of touchscreen

 Corning Gorilla Glass Company, producer of special glass composition is the next-generation smartphones and has launched a video in which the future is seen by the company's engineers.

 In the future, Corning predicts that all windows and displays that will surround us will create a strong glass and also programmable. Thus, we can establish that the bedroom window to be opaque at night, then let the sunlight to enter in the room at the time we want to wake up.

Also, any household surface will be also display. This will allow communication with loved ones, by videophone, and information from multiple sources (TV, Internet, radio, social networks).

This is the vision of Corning:

The future of auto market: nuclear machine that consumes only grams of "fuel"

 We now have some hybrid or electric cars, fuel cell or hydrogen engine. Americans are prepared to blow a new technology: nuclear power.

The genies from Laser Power Systems company have a project for a new turbine generator power  with laser that uses thorium (Th), a slightly radioactive metal. This is considered to be the nuclear fuel of the future.
 Thorium is less radioactive than uranium and can be exploited in quarries and surface. Minimal environmental impact and costs of recovery are reduced.

Note that the nuclear reactor is not burning out  plutonium 239 witch is a radioactive element used in the manufacture of atomic bombs.

How the engine works?

 Thorium would be heated by a laser beam to produce heat and steam.  The steam is operating a generator of electricity. Only eight grams of thorium are enough to run a car over a distance of 460,000 kilometers.
 Technology is "stolen" from submarines and aircrafts, and in 2009 Cadillac introduced the first car with this technology.

One invention that can save and change the world

I will describe an invention that has been imagined and created in year 1950 by Romanian physicist, Nicolae Vasilescu - Karpen. The Karpen Cell, which is an inexhaustible source of energy, after six decades since it was invented never ceased to function and produced inexhaustible energy.

 Karpen Cell has gold electrodes (shiny) and platinum black (porous) immersed in high purity sulfuric acid.  
 Regarding the operation, the views of "experts" are divided: some are saying that the cell can not exist because it calls into question the second principle of thermodynamics, others are saying that in reality does not contradict the principle (energy conversion) and also the principle of zero (thermodynamic equilibrium with the environment) in the generalized formulation. The latter conclusion would be that the Karpen Cell is working using only ambient heat. Karpen cell consists of two cells connected in series with two vessels with different electrolyte concentrations. It supplies a little engine that drives a microswitch, so that rotation of the rotor half circuit is open and half closed. So the little engine is powered pulsed duty cycle ½, during a half rotation, allowing the half cell to regenerate and recharge herself with the energy consumed. And makes this thing for 60 years and this means that generates energy without stoping.
   The device is actually a perpetual motion, a device that generates energy indefinitely without outside intervention. Some people are saying that perpetual motion can not exist. But it exists ...!
 However, I imagine this invention that produces energy, in a much larger copy that is connected to supply a whole city without stopping day and night, even years.
  In the estimation of Professor Solomon, president of the French Society of Physics, Romanian scientist invented the cell and after half a century people have come to the Moon with his help.


 Conclusions
Karpen Cell could solve the current energy thirst of civilization's.


Karpen Cell could be an inexhaustible battery for any electronic product: such as, for example to have a laptop without a charger with a battery to keep you forever? Or a mobile phone?


 Where it is suspected that this invention could be found is in the Romanian capital, Bucharest at the National Technical Museum hided in a secret box.
