Accordion Shaped Innovative 3D Designed Solar Tower Doubles The Solar Power

Intensive researchers around the world have always focused on improving the performance of solar photovoltaic cells and bringing down their cost. According to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers, because the cost of solar panels has dropped so much, it is the time designing 3D structures to take in more light and boost power output. Now, MIT researchers test show, building cubes or towers that extend the solar cells upward in 3 dimensional configurations can provide power output ranging from double to more than 20 times that of fixed flat panels with the same base area.

Wireless Bike Brake Concept

Computer scientists at the Sarland University have developed a new wireless braking system for bicycles and it is all done with a range of wireless devices. The wireless braking system for bicycles is made up of a a wireless transmitter on the hand grip and a motorized disk brake caliper. Perfected in the fact that it has a reliability of 99.999999999997%, which translates into just 3 failures during a trillion braking attempts and the brake completely does away with the need to have traditional brake cables and harnesses attached to a bicycle frame. Hermanns and his colleagues at Saarland University are now working on improving their system’s traction and are still looking for engineers to turn their concept into a commercial reality……………
