Thanks to this technology, the film was shot almost entirely with natural light, thus showing for the first time the underwater world as it exactly is. This is the closest you can get to dive without being there!"

Mars was once a much wetter world than it is now, with hot springs, rivers, lakes and perhaps even oceans. Just how wet exactly, and for how long, is still a subject of considerable debate. One vital clue comes from clay mineral deposits and sediments left over after the water disappeared, but still visible now. They provide a valuable insight into what Mars used to be like, and why it is the cold, dry place we see today.

The maximum energy transfer distance to the led is about 20" ( 50cm) and the total current generated is about 650 micro-amps...This experiment proves that the human body does pick up residual energy from our environment, just like a solar cell that coverts sunlight into electricity...

One of the many ways to get yourself into the sky is to build your own aircraft. This might sounds insane at first: when someone says "I'm going to build my own airplane," it might sound a lot like saying "I'm going to build my own nuclear submarine." But the truth is, homebuilts can be as simple or as complicated as the builder wants, and people of all different backgrounds have built their own airplanes.
