Fuel Cell charger that's pocket friendly

Battery chargers aren't exactly the sexiest gadgets in the world, but when you add fuel cells into the mix things get a little more interesting.

MyFC is showcasing its Jaq fuel cell charger at MWC 2016, the world's smallest charger of its type. The device, which has gotten its European debut, offers up speedy phone charging without the need to ever go near a plug socket.

This is because Jaq powers itself with the help of its own PowerCard - which is made of water and salt. Stick this in the charger and by some chemical magic hydrogen is created and your charging can begin. It will charge a phone in the same time as a normal power outlet.



While chemical reactions and hydrogen sound a touch dangerous, MyFC promises that not only is the chemical reaction completely safe, it is also environmentally friendly.

The MyFC Jaq is compatible with all phones and tablets, including iOS, and will be available in white, black and purple.





















Although there's no release date as of yet, MyFC has put the Jaq up for pre-order, where you can also sign up to having Power Cards sent to you on a subscription basis.

Google plans to beam 5G internet from solar drones

Trials at New Mexico’s Spaceport Authority are using new millimetre wave technology to deliver data from drones – potentially 40 times faster than 4G

Google is testing solar-powered drones at Spaceport America in New Mexico to explore ways to deliver high-speed internet from the air, the Guardian has learned.

In a secretive project codenamed SkyBender, the technology giant built several prototype transceivers at the isolated spaceport last summer, and is testing them with multiple drones, according to documents obtained under public records laws.

In order to house the drones and support aircraft, Google is temporarily using 15,000 square feet of hangar space in the glamorous Gateway to Space terminal designed by Norman Foster for the much-delayed Virgin Galactic spaceflights.

The tech company has also installed its own dedicated flight control centre in the nearby Spaceflight Operations Center, separate from the terminal.

Based out of the site near the town called Truth or Consequences, Project SkyBender is using drones to experiment with millimetre-wave radio transmissions, one of the technologies that could underpin next generation 5G wireless internet access. High frequency millimetre waves can theoretically transmit gigabits of data every second, up to 40 times more than today’s 4G LTE systems. Google ultimately envisages thousands of high altitude “self-flying aircraft” delivering internet access around the world.

“The huge advantage of millimetre wave is access to new spectrum because the existing cellphone spectrum is overcrowded. It’s packed and there’s nowhere else to go,” says Jacques Rudell, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle and specialist in this technology.

Google's drones have exclusive use of the Spaceport’s runway and will even venture above a neighbouring missile range
However, millimetre wave transmissions have a much shorter range than mobile phone signals. A broadcast at 28GHz, the frequency Google is testing at Spaceport America, would fade out in around a tenth the distance of a 4G phone signal. To get millimetre wave working from a high-flying drone, Google needs to experiment with focused transmissions from a so-called phased array. “This is very difficult, very complex and burns a lot of power,” Rudell says.

The SkyBender system is being tested with an “optionally piloted” aircraft called Centaur as well as solar-powered drones made by Google Titan, a division formed when Google acquired New Mexico startup Titan Aerospace in 2014. Titan built high-altitude solar-powered drones with wingspans of up to 50 metres.

Emails between Spaceport America and Google project managers reveal that the aircraft have exclusive use of the Spaceport’s runway during the tests and will even venture above the neighbouring White Sands Missile Range.

Google spent several months last summer building two communication installations on concrete pads at Spaceport America. Project SkyBender is part of the little-known Google Access team, which also includes Project Loon, a plan to deliver wireless internet using unpowered balloons floating through the stratosphere.

One of the millimetre wave transceivers was located near Spaceport America’s Spaceport Operations Centre (SOC), and the other four miles away at the Vertical Launch Area (VLA), although Google’s plans did not involve any rockets. Google also established a repeater tower and numerous other sites around the Spaceport, presumably to test millimetre wave reception.

Both installations have cabinets full of computer servers and other electronics, while the pad at the SOC required a concrete base to support a dish antenna nearly eight feet across, according to a separate filing with the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC).

Work did not proceed smoothly, however. At one point in late August, a lorry showed up at 10.30pm, causing the Spaceport America team to complain to Google: “We have no loading dock and no means to remove a pallet … from the middle of the truck.” The lorry was turned away without making its delivery.

Later, components were installed upside down or supplied by Google without the necessary shelves, nuts and bolts. Near the end of the build in October, Mike Bashore, information systems manager at Spaceport America, even emailed to his Google contact, “We want to run out to Home Depot for grounding straps.” These are needed to protect sensitive electronics from static electricity. The nearest Home Depot hardware shop is over 100 miles from the Spaceport.

Google is not the first organisation to work with drones and millimetre wave technology. In 2014, Darpa, the research arm of the US military, announced a program called Mobile Hotspots to make a fleet of drones that could provide one gigabit per second communications for troops operating in remote areas.

Google has permission from the FCC to continue its tests in New Mexico until July. Spaceport America will be glad of the $300,000 SkyBender tests, as Virgin Galactic virtually mothballed its terminal following the 2014 crash of its prototype SpaceShipTwo vehicle in California. Christine Anderson, chief executive officer of Spaceport America, admits that the facility is now running out of money.

“We are transitioning to supporting all aspects of the spaceport from our operational budget, as the [state] bonds have been spent except for the amount reserved for the southern road,” she wrote in a blog post earlier this month. “We are asking the legislature for $2.8m ... We appreciate that our request is a lot of money, but we also feel that it is a relatively small amount to protect the state’s $218.5m investment already made in the new and exciting commercial space industry.”

Google is paying Virgin Galactic $1,000 a day for the use of a hangar in the Gateway to Space building but had to split its SkyBender tests into two separate flight campaigns to ease Virgin Galactic concerns. An unnamed Virgin Galactic executive emailed Anderson before the tests to note: “We will be arranging numerous activities around these occupancy periods, which would be impacted if there was any [timing changes].” Google also had to promise not to take any photographs inside the building.

Anderson expects Virgin Galactic to unveil its new SpaceShipTwo at the Spaceport in February, and to begin flights there in 2018.

Google declined to comment.

Mitsubishi Electric's "aerial display" projects images into mid-air

As soon as the year 2020, you may be seeing advertising or other imagery floating before you. That's when Mitsubishi Electric hopes to have its "aerial display" technology perfected and commercially available. Already, it's capable of displaying images measuring up to 56 inches (142 cm) diagonally, hovering in the ether.

Here's how the aerial display system works …

The image, which can be a still or video, is displayed on a screen that sits perpendicular (and unseen) to the human viewer. Sitting diagonal to that screen is a beam splitter, which is a glass device that splits beams of light in two.

As a result, when the screen image is reflected off the back of the beam splitter, it becomes two duplicate images. These are in turn reflected off a retro-reflective sheet and through the beam splitter, converging in the air in front of the viewer. This causes the viewer to perceive a single image, dangling before them.

According to the designers, however, people find it hard to focus on such images when there's no way of telling where the image is. With that mind, the system also includes "guide images" that are projected onto walls (or other fixed surfaces) to either side of the floating image. Because viewers "get" where those images are, they can focus on them and then also on the aerial image between them.

The entire display area, including the two guide images, measures 90 inches (229 cm) diagonally.

Similar technology is utilized by the University of Tokyo's HaptoMime system, in which users can seemingly reach into a mid-air display.

This Incredible Pen Lets You Write In Any Color You See

The front door on our 100-year-old house is painted a great shade of red, but there's a big chip out of it. I've been wanting to touch up the spot, but how to get the right paint color? A photo would be way off, and I'm kind of afraid to scrape off another, bigger chip to take to the paint store.

Soon, I -- and all who have color quandaries -- may have a solution. It's called the Scribble and it's a new kind of pen that can sample any color you point it at and then let you draw in that color. There are two types of Scribbles planned: one with an ink cartridge that will let you draw on paper with your captured color, and a stylus version that will let you splash color around on your mobile device's screen when the Scribble+ app is installed.

Both versions will use Bluetooth technology or Micro-USB cables to communicate with your computer and other devices, and will measure about 6.3 inches long. A Scribble pen uses 16-bit color sensors to sample the world and can store up to 100,000 different colors.

The version that draws on paper has a built-in ink cartridge that will squirt the right mix of colors into a mixing chamber before it passes on to the page. The pens themselves will also be available in a variety of body colors, natch.

The inventors of the device, Mark Barker and Robert Hoffman, will soon be launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund their device. Early backers will get 20 percent off the planned price of $149.95 (roughly £89, AU$160) for the ink version and $79.95 (roughly £48, AU$85) for the stylus. Interested individuals can sign up on the Scribble website to be notified of the campaign kickoff by email.

I'd think artists would love a gizmo like this. How cool would it be to paint a flower with a pen that takes the exact colors from nature and puts them down on a piece of paper? For another use, in a press release about the pens, an interior decorator from Boston known mysteriously as "Emily G." says: "This would be the perfect device to help me easily scan and save color samples for client presentations. Being able to quickly match existing colors off walls and swatches with the Scribble Pen is going to be brilliant."

Anywhere water can clean 100% - MSR Guardian

Correct to say that water is the most valuable treasure man can get extinction. We have a little simple to clean, but dirty water. It should be said that the device looked like straw Life was released a few years ago. But Life straw device but can be removed impurities, viruses, bacteria and particulate impurities removal can be.

American Rock Climbing and testing equipment company, Mountain Safety Research (MSR) Institute can provide a simple little problem, but the solution or a powerful water purification unit has been called Guardian MSZ mobile water filter. 6 years in a series of tests as a result of producing the MSR Guardian device can be cleaned about 2.5 liters of water a minute and water can be refined without repairing up to 10,000 liters. Handlebar to pump water, deep water external filters with a Guardian with a long water pipe and the internal filter device and shallow water in any water source available and water purification in external filters (filter), which automatically vīmada refined.


Batteries, chemicals, infrared light, warm, organic processes such methods of disposal of all the latest Microfiber Nano Filter MSR Guardian methods to clean water in the device, unique microbiological methods devised many fibrous filters are formed. When traveling through the water to the filter even the smallest impurities can be removed, and stopping at stopping the water of bacteria, viruses Guardian MSR device to remove such negative factors. So MSR Guardian by the water to be used, the bottle installed and put into the hands of the external filtered water to operate the handle. MSR Guardian's investigations team, its performance on tour in Peru for a number of days to check the state and the whole team, used a variety of sources of water to water throughout the whole trip, and it was not going to use anything other than water is always clean MSR Guardian device. They say the market in the near future will have MSR Guardian that the device is very successful.

Do not be afraid to Google Glass

Because rumors spread about them, with the birth of modern technology Some are heavily. This is because of the fear of possible damage to the device to privacy. Currently popular in the Google Glass to the public of this fact.

The device may be wearing a doubt, you immediately saw those. That is, he fears that the missing to be tape recorded by the camera. But the important point to remember is that you need to take it that there is the opportunity to put out of action and that no recording is always engaged.

Google the company that made the recordings using the camera, which has now become a major misconception about the spread of Google Glass. The following should be emphasized that no truth. A person engaged in conversation and someone wearing Google Glass is really done, it is the only wearing. Apart from anything else it is not done.

These devices often can not be done recording. It is the end of the rapid battery power. If the recording is perpetually one battery charge times, only for a period of 30 minutes.

As always am no recording, the Google Glass is off most of their time. The device, a person's right eye near the small screen and microphone, while the interior of the ear to send sound to the headset from the event. All this often remains off form. Usually there is one way the smartphone, this device is because of the existence of standby time. It operates only in two cases. One opportunity is the coming of a particular notification. If you receive a text message can be read via the settings on the bottle, is being carried out under the event.

The other is the one who is wearing it is being implemented. Google Glass is automatically recording started think, smartphone automatically when one has to think like hysteria would listen to what you say.

OK Glass is saying that this device can be implemented. Thus it is likely that you are always a hearing. But it is not the way you think. OK Glass alleged to have been implemented, Moto X and the Nexus 5 in the existing facility, like smartphones. Sound works under low-power processing unit belonged to the Google Glass, and it will study whether to sound like the voice of the Glass OK with. If so, is the same, the device is ready for the next command

This will rinse the only two words. As you think this can not have the words to all the recordings. It is not possible to upload the data automatically to Google, and for the actions it should be emphasized again and again that no battery power.

When wearing the Google Glass is one of those that have been implemented that are identified You have to. Look at the screen at the right eye of the individual. If it is implemented there will be a little light.

OK Glass, he said, this device can be implemented using a touchpad on your head in that direction or reversing framework. OK for a photo or a video, or a Glass, take a camera above the right eye, said said in a press picture button or hitting the eyelids or should. Usually this is recorded by the device is a video time per 10 seconds. Secretly Photographing or video, or both, and neither this country, this one works, if you can be seen clearly that

We have seen people who put him in front of a smartphone. Sometimes they are reading a message, such as it is sending. Photographing or video, or it is not done. The phobia of the missing who are the Google Glass. However, in a society such equipment by wearing it on the possible consequences of Disturbed Persons without knowledge because,
