Extracting water out of thin air now possible

London, Sep 12 (IANS) Getting water out of the thin air is now possible, thanks to a new technology. 'Drinking water can be extracted from the humidity in the air even in the desert or in the middle of a megacity,' thanks to a technology developed by the Fraunhofer Alliance SysWasser, Germany. The principle behind it is a salt solution that runs down from a tower-shaped system and absorbs water from the air, known as hygroscopic brine. This brine is then pumped into a tank that stands a couple of metres high and contains a vacuum. Then, energy from solar collectors heats up the brine and the evaporated salt-free water condenses over a distillation bridge. The brine concentrates again and flows down on the surface of the tower to absorb humidity in the air, according to a Fraunhofer statement. This process is exclusively based on regenerative sources of energy such as simple solar collectors and photovoltaic cells, meaning that this method is completely energy self-sufficien...

Solar tsunami from Sun may hit Earth on Tuesday

The Earth is in the path to be hit by a wave of violent space weather as early as Tuesday after a massive explosion of the sun, scientists have warned. Astronomers witnessed the huge flare above a giant sunspot the size of the Earth, the explosion aimed directly towards Earth. It sent a "solar tsunami" racing 93 million miles across space, which is likely to hit the planet on Tuesday. The wave of supercharged gas is likely to spark spectacular displays of the aurora or northern and southern lights. However, a really big solar eruption could shut down global communication grids and destroy satellites, if it reaches today. A recent warning by NASA said that Britain could be at the receiving end of widespread power blackouts for a long time after the earth is hit by a once-in-a-generation "space storm". "It looks like the first eruption was so large that it changed the magnetic fields throughout half the Sun's visible atmosphere and provided the right ...

‘Epic’ Browser Wars

Bangalore-based startup, Hidden Reflex, has developed a browser for the Indian audience called Epic, thanks to Mozilla’s popular open-source platform. Though made on lines of the Firefox browser, it has many firsts. It’s the only browser that has an in-built anti-virus scanner and other unique privacy features like theflash cookie deletion. Epic also has a side-bar with shortcut icons for frequently used applications and websites – all of which are a part of the 1500+ apps that ‘Epic’ boasts of. My favourite, however, is the ‘type in Indian languages’ widget that can be done using the English script, which the browser instantly converts into the regional language chosen. Even as ‘Epic’ hogs the limelight, other browser developers, especially the more popular ones like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome are on an overdrive to come up with advanced versions. We have entered the era of browser wars. Here’s a look at some of the features that these browsers brag...

PSLV launch successful, 5 satellites placed in orbit

The Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C15) put five satellites in their precise orbits on Monday, unequivocally demonstrating its reliability and robustness. It was a flawless mission all the way, with the ignition and separation of the rocket’s four stages taking place on time, the heat-shield protecting the satellites falling off on schedule and the satellites flying out of the fourth stage at a velocity of 27,000 km an hour. The on-board computers worked with clock-work precision. This was the 16th consecutively successful fight of the PSLV. The five satellites that were injected into orbit were: ISRO’s 694-kg Cartosat-2B; the 116-kg Alsat-2A of Algeria; a 6.5-kg nano satellite named NLS 6.1 AISSAT-1 of the Space Flight Laboratory, University of Toronto, Canada; a 1 kg nano satellite called NLS 6.2 TISAT-1 built by the University of Applied Science Sciences of Switzerland; and a tiny satellite named Studsat built by 35 students of seven...
