Desktop runs on Solar Power


If you are interested in green technology, here is a company which has launched the very first solar powered desktop computer in the Indian market. The company is called Simmtronics Semiconductors and honestly, this is the first time I’m hearing about this company, but I feel great that a green desktop is finally available in my country.

As the desktop is powered by the sun, it is a computer mainly targeted for areas which have frequent power cuts or even villages, where electricity is still a mystery to many. This solar powered computer is priced at just INR 28,990, which includes the solar setup and one year on-site warranty. Well, it is about time computers hit our villages!

When being powered by the gigantic ball made up mainly of hydrogen and helium, the computer also saves up some power which allows it to run for another 10 hours in the absence of sunlight.

Obviously, at such an affordable price, you cannot expect a monster in terms of specs, but the device seems perfect for internet browsing (although this is another problem in areas where there is constant load shedding or electricity is absent most of the time), office work and probably listen to some music and watch a movie or two.

It is powered by a Via C7 1.6 GHz processor, 1GB RAM, includes 160GB HDD and a 15.6-inch LED monitor. The keyboard and mouse are included and the operating system on the computer is Linux. The solar kit includes a 74W solar panel with charge controller, SMF battery and AC inverter.

Regards,

History of the steam engine invention


James Watt, Scottish inventor who is often associated with steam engines, a key figure of the Industrial Revolution. Actually, Watt is not the first person who made the steam engine. Similar draft prepared also by Hero of Alexandria in the early years AD. In 1686 Thomas Savery patents make a steam engine used to pump water, and in 1712, Englishman Thomas Newcomen, the patent also make similar products with a more perfect version, but the creation Newcomen engine still of low quality and less efficient, can only used to pump water from coal mines.

Watt became interested in the affairs of the steam engine in 1764 when he was fixing creation Newcomen engine. Although Watt's just get one year of education as a tool maker, but he's got great talent creator. Improvements he made with homemade Newcomen engine was so important, so it is worth consider actual creator Wattlah first practical steam engine. Watt patented the first success in 1769 was the addition of a separate room which strengthened. He also make isolation separator to prevent the disappearance of the heat in the steam cylinder, and in 1782 he discovered the double machine. With some minor improvements, this update menghasilan increased efficiency of the steam engine with a four-fold or more. In practice, this efficiency improvement is the result of an intelligence but is not very useful equipment nor have the extraordinary usefulness, looking from the corner of the industry.
Watt also found (in 1781) a set of teeth to change the motion behind the machine so that the spinning motion. This tool is to increase massively the use of steam engines. Watt also managed to create a controller style circular motion automatically (in 1788), which causes the engine speed can be automatically monitored. It also creates a pressure gauge (in 1790), speedo instrument, appliance instructions and vapor control equipment in addition to other repair equipment.
Watt did not have a talent business. However, in 1775 he made alliance with Matthew Boulton, an engineer, and a businessman who deftly. For twenty-five years later, Watt and Boulton company produces a large number of steam engines and both became rich. Working steam engine in 1769 Watt dual discovery It is hard to exaggerate the significance of the steam engine. For, indeed many other inventions which play an important role to encourage the development of the Industrial Revolution. For example, development of mining, metallurgy, and various machine tools. Lifeboat which slides back and forth in a loom (John Kay's invention in 1733), or spinning tool (discovery James Hargreaves in 1764) everything happens precedes creation Watt. The vast majority of discoveries that are only a less significant improvement and none had a vital meaning in connection with bermulanya Industrial Revolution. As with the invention of the steam engine that plays an important role in the Industrial Revolution, the situation seems to be experiencing other forms. Previously, although the steam power used to turn windmills and water, principal source of mechanical power lies in human power. This factor is very limited capacity of industrial production. Thanks to the invention of the steam engine, these limitations were eliminated. A large amount of energy can now be channeled to productive things that climb with very swift. Oil embargo of 1973 made us realize how miserable if the material is reduced energy and able to paralyze the industry. This experience, at some level, encouraging us to imagine the significance of the Industrial Revolution thanks to the discovery of James Watt.
In addition to the benefits of power for factories, steam engines also have to major in other fields. In 1783, the Marquis de Jouffroy in Abbans successfully use steam engines to drive the ship. In 1804, Richard Trevithick's first steam locomotive creates. None of the models that beginners succeed commercially. Within a few decades, then either the ship or rail to produce a good revolution in the field of land and sea transportation.
The Industrial Revolution took place almost simultaneously with the American Revolution and French. Although the time it seems trivial, it now appears clear how the Industrial Revolution seemed to have outlined the meaning is far more important for human livelihoods rather than the importance of political revolution. James Watt, therefore it is classified as one of those who have an important influence in history.

Historical invention of the car


The car is a four-wheeled vehicle that is popular in every State. There are many different types of cars. Starting from the type for the family, sports, public transport, until the shape klassik. The price is also very diverse. Did you know how the history of the discovery of the car ????? This is history ..



The first vehicle powered steam engine built in the late 18th century. Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot with vehicle successfully demonstrated in 1769. Improved best known steam engine was developed in Birmingham, England by the Lunar Society. In Birmingham was the first gasoline powered car made in Britain in 1896 by Frederick William Lanchester. The first automobile patent in the United States granted to Oliver Evans in 1789. In 1804 Evans demonstrated his first automobile in the U.S., which is also the first amphibious vehicle power-steam vehicles could use the wheel path on land and in water using a wheel Padel.

Nikolaus August Otto was the German inventor who in 1876 created the combustion engine with four impulse. The burning of the inside of the machine is a result of careful thought and are used for use in automobile engine movement. Many experiments carried out to make the car before Otto creating machine. Some inventors like Siegfried Marcus (1875), Etienne Lenoir (1862) and Nicolas Joseph Cugnot (1769), has managed to make a model that can move. But as deficiencies in a combination of lightness and speed, none of those models have a practical meaning to use.

Within a period of fifteen years since Otto creates combustion engine with four drive, two different inventor, Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler, each individually make cars that are practical and salable in the market. But clearly, the millions of cars in the last century 99% using a machine with four drive combustion. Generally, the first automobile internal combustion engine that uses gasoline made almost simultaneously in 1886 by German inventors working independently. Carl Benz on July 3, 1886 in Mannheim and the Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in Stuttgart. Otto engine used by auto pioneer Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz.

Gottlieb Wilhelm Daimler

Wilhelm Gottlieb Daimler who was born on March 17, 1834 was a German engineer who made the first car (along with Carl Friedrich Benz). In 1882 Gottlieb Daimler broke away from the company because he wanted a decision memprodusir engines for bicycles. By 1883, he succeeded in creating a machine with complete combustion system capable of moving the machine with the speed of 700-900 rounds per minute.

Daimler trying desperately to make engines for the bike which means the world's first motorcycle. The next year Daimler made the first fourth-wheel car. No warning, Karl Benz three-wheeler menggebraknya make a few months before him. Benz cars, as well as the Daimler, driven by the engine version of Otto. Gottlieb Daimler began marketing the car a little further back than Benz and he was successful.

In 1890 he founded the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG). Daimler's first car powered six horse power sold to the Prince of Wales. Cars' Benzine Buggy "patented in 1895. In the 24 years after the death of Daimler, DMG management signed a cooperative agreement with Benz & Cie of Carl Benz and in 1926 the two companies combine to form Daimler-Benz AG, which is now part of Daimler AG. Daimler's death on March 6, 1900 and who received the first patent his invention is a four-stroke engine (1883)

Karl Friedrich Benz

Karl Friedrich Benz was born on 25 November 1844 was a German automobile engineer. Generally, he (along with Gottlieb Daimler of his contemporaries) regarded as one of the creators of gasoline-fueled automobile. He is also the son of a machinist.

Karl Benz make three-wheeled car, diligently continued to refine his car and within a few years of successful marketing. Benz Cars can drive in the engine speed below 400 revolutions per minute, this is sufficient to be considered a practical car.

Benz in 1903 and retired from Benz & Co.., But remain as a member of the supervisory board until his death. Companies combine to form Daimler-Benz and Daimler-Benz in 1926, which later changed its name to Mercedes-Benz. Karl Friedrich Benz in Ladenburg died in Neckar, Germany. On 4 April 1929

Henry Ford

Line a large-scale production of affordable cars made by Oldsmobil in 1902 and later developed a massive by Henry Ford in the 1910s. In the period from 1900 to mid 1920's development of automotive technology was rapid, due to the large number of small car makers are all vying to grab the attention of the world. The main development including electronic ignition and electronic self-starter (both by Charles Kettering, to the Company in the years 1910 to 1911 Cadillac), independent suspension, four tires and brakes.

In the 1930s, mostly in automotive technology has been created, though often re-created at a later date and given credit to someone else. For example, front-wheel steering recreated by Andre Citron in the launch of the Traction Avant in 1934, although this technology has appeared several years earlier in cars made by Alvis and Cord, and in racing cars by Miller (and may have appeared in early 1897 .)

After 1930 the number of automobile manufacturers drastically reduced the time to join together and mature industry. Since 1960 the number of producers is almost fixed and reduced innovation. New technologies only improvement from the previous technology. With the ever discovery exception in engine management that enter the market in the 1960s, when electronic goods become cheap enough for mass production and strong enough to handle the harsh environment of the car. Developed by Bosch, these electronic tools can make car exhaust reduced dramatically while improving the efficiency and power.

Thank you

Stay spirit and good luck
