Robonaut: Home - 0 views

  •  
    "The first humanoid robot in space was sent to the space station with the intention of eventually taking over tasks too dangerous or mundane for astronauts, and the first such task identified for it was monitoring air velocity. Astronauts onboard the space station generally have to measure the air flow in front of vents inside the station to ensure that none of the ventilation ductwork gets clogged or blocked. The task involves holding a gauge in front of vents in five different locations on the station and taking several measurements of the air flow every 90 days or so."

You Have No Idea How Wrong You Are - YouTube - 2 views

  •  
    "There are a lot more ways to be wrong than there are ways to be right. Yet somehow, many of us think that we are probably right most of the time. Prior generations were wrong about almost everything they believed, but this does not stop our unfailing confidence that we, being so much more enlightened, have things for the most part figured out."

Frequently Asked Q: Turn an iPad Into an Oscilloscope - 1 views

  •  
    MSO-104 oscilloscope. What makes this scope so different? It is a very small module, smaller than the Arduino Uno sitting next to it on my desk, that plugs into your iOS device and your iOS device handles all of the display and heavy duty work for the oscilloscope! I usually have my iPad or iPhone with me when I am working so this seemed like an ideal solution.

But this incredible invention would be drowned in the sea and its secret forgotten for two thousand years."

In building the first solar aircraft able to fly day and night, and piloting it right round the world without fuel or pollution, Solar Impulse's ambition is for the world of exploration and innovation to contribute to the cause of renewable energies, to demonstrate the importance of clean technologies for sustainable development; to save natural resources and reduce our dependency on fossil energy; and to place dreams and emotions back at the heart of scientific adventure."

Top 120 American Inventions - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    "In honor of National Inventor's month (August), I've compiled a list of 120 significant American inventions. I've only included inventors who were born in the United States, not inventors who were born elsewhere yet whose inventions were created and/or patented in the U.S. Excluded inventions due to this rule include things such as the telephone, helicopter, basketball, video game console, blue jeans as well as the numerous inventions of Nikola Tesla. The only exception to this rule are co-inventors who share their invention with American-born inventors (such as federico faggin who co-invented the microprocessor)."

Searching for daVinci - Introduction - 0 views

    "True learners are multidimensional, they are passionately curious about the world around them. Leonardo da Vinci was the quintessential example of a Renaissance man. Scientist, inventor, painter, sculptor, architect, cartographer, mathematician- the list goes on. da Vinci had an insatiable curiosity and was deeply creative and innovative. da Vinci is still highly regarded as a brilliant creative genius, his thirst for learning is just as relevant today as it was 500 years ago. Is your classroom currently set up to foster the da Vinci's of the world? "
