BRG action sports helmets get integrated 360-degree video camera

By
BRG (Bell, Riddell and Giro) Sports has used CES 2016 to introduce a new line of motorcycle, mountain bike and snow helmets featuring 360fly's proprietary 360-degree 4k video camera.




The collaboration sees the 360fly camera and app integrated into four different BRG Sports helmets – the BellStar street motorcycle helmet, the Bell Moto 9 off road motorcycle helmet, the Bell Super 2R mountain bike helmet, and the Giro Edit snow helmet.
The camera shoots at 2880 x 2880 at up to 30 fps as well as standard 16 x 9 format and the accompanying app is designed for simple editing and sharing. The unit includes a built-in GPS sensor to tag locations, a barometer/altimeter, an accelerometer, built-in Bluetooth and built-in Wi-Fi, and up to two hours of battery life.
The camera can also be detached and used independent of the helmet.




Additional features planned for inclusion in the helmet and camera combo will allow the user to automatically track the action of the main video subjects, sense potential dangers outside a rider's field of vision, live stream video, and auto-edit a 1-2 minute highlight reel based on video sections that have the most action.
Pricing has not yet been established and a release is expected sometime later this year.

Wind Turbines

By
The Bahrain World Trade Center is the first skyscraper to have wind turbines integrated into the structure of the building.Three large wind turbines are suspended between two office towers. The towers are aerodynamically tapered to funnel wind and draw air into the turbines. This airfoil tapering allows the wind to enter the turbines at a perpendicular angle and increases air speed as much as 30 percent in each of the 95 ft wide turbine rotors. The turbines supply about 15 percent of the electricity used by the skyscraper - approximately the same amount of electricity used by 300 homes. Source: www.norwin.dk

New record energy efficiency for artificial photosynthesis

By
As the world moves towards developing new avenues of renewable energy, the efficiencies of producing fuels such as hydrogen must increase to the point that they rival or exceed those of conventional energy sources to make them a viable alternative. Now researchers at Monash University in Melbourne claim to have created a solar-powered device that produces hydrogen at a world-record 22 percent efficiency, which is a significant step towards making cheap, efficient hydrogen production a reality. Efficiency records for solar-powered hydrogen production have continued to rise over the years, and much more rapidly as the technology and techniques improve. Even as late as December last year  Gizmag reported  a solar-driven hydrogen record efficiency at the time of just 12.3 percent, so this new record shows a very healthy 10 percent improvement on that and beats out the previous record of 18 percent. Splitting water using electricity to produce hydrogen and oxygen has been a...

Edible water balloons that could get rid of the need for plastic bottles

By
In case you didn’t know, bottled water is destroying the planet. We know that we need to be drinking plenty of water. It’s important. But the plastic bottles they’re sold in are terrible for the environment. One solution is using reusable bottles that you can fill from any nearby taps instead of buying a new bottle each time. Another solution is much more exciting. A group of engineers from Skipping Rocks Lab have developed a wonderful thing called The Ooho!. It’s a globe filled water that you can pop in your mouth whole. The outer shell is made of algae, so it’s edible and biodegradable. Meaning there’s no need for packaging or plastic – the globes of water are self-contained and ready to consume. Exciting, right? Plus they’re wobbly and they look cool, which is always a bonus. The team have now created a crowdfunding page to make their creation available to the public, with goals of selling The Ooho! at festival and marathons within the next 12 m...
