A T-shirt that charges cell phones amid blaring music!

                 Now T-Shirt that charges cell phones
Festival-goers can now head-bang all night long at concerts without worrying about their mobile batteries getting exhausted.

 

Telecom giant Orange has unveiled a prototype of a t-shirt, which uses noise-responsive technology to charge the phone. Louder the music, quicker the phone gets charged.
The futuristic garment uses an A4-size piece of piezoelectric film in a T-shirt to absorb pressure from sound waves. It converts these into an electrical charge, which it then transfers from its battery into a lead that fits most phones.
Users just need to plug their phones into the T-shirt for a quick top-up charge whenever they need it.
"Sound vibrations, particularly bass frequencies, will create enough shaking to produce electricity from a material as simple as piezoelectric film," the Daily Mail quoted Tony Andrews, co-producer of the Spirit Of 71, as saying.
"It looks like it could provide a real solution to mobile charging and I'm interested to see how the Orange Sound Charge performs in a live testing environment such as Glastonbury," he added,
Andrew Pearcey, sponsorship head at Orange UK, said: "In a vibrant festival environment such as Glastonbury, sound is such an obvious medium that it seemed like a natural fit to use it in the development of this year's prototype."

Dr. Vikram Sarabhai

Indian space programme driven by vision of
Dr Vikram Sarabhai
considered as the father of Indian Space Programme. 

	There are some who question the relevance of space activities in a developing nation. To us, there is no ambiguity of purpose. We do not have the fantasy of competing with the economically advanced nations in the exploration of the moon or the planets or manned space-flight. But we are convinced that if we are to play a meaningful role nationally, and in the community of nations, we must be second to none in the application of advanced technologies to the real problems of man and society.

Scientists discover habitable Earth-like planet

A rocky world orbiting a nearby star has been confirmed as the first planet outside our solar system to meet key requirements for sustaining life.

Modelling of planet Gliese 581d shows it has the potential to be warm and wet enough to nurture Earth-like life.

It orbits a red dwarf star called Gliese 581, located around 20 light years from Earth, which makes it one of our closest neighbours.

Gliese 581d orbits on the outer fringes of the star's "Goldilocks zone", where it is not so hot that water boils away, nor so cold that water is perpetually frozen. Instead, the temperature is just right for water to exist in liquid form.

"With a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere -- a likely scenario on such a large planet -- the climate of Gliese 581d is not only stable against collapse but warm enough to have oceans, clouds and rainfall," France's National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) said in a press release.

More than 500 planets orbiting other stars have been recorded since 1995, detected mostly by a tiny wobble in stellar light.

Exoplanets are named after their star and listed alphabetically, in order of discovery.

Until now, the big interest in Gliese 581's roster of planets focussed on Gliese 581g.

It leapt into the headlines last year as "Zarmina's World," after its observers announced it had roughly the same mass as Earth's and was also close to the Goldilocks zone.

But that discovery has since been discounted by many. Indeed, some experts suspect that the Gliese 581g may not even exist but was simply a hiccup in starlight.

Its big brother, Gliese 581d, has a mass at least seven times that of Earth and is about twice our planet's size, according to the new study, which appears in a British publication, The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

The planet, spotted in 2007, had initially been dismissed as a candidate in the hunt for life.

It receives less than a third of the solar radiation Earth gets, and may be "tidally locked", meaning that one side of it always faces the sun, which would give it permanent dayside and nightside.

But the new model, devised by CNRS climate scientists Robin Wordsworth, Francois Forget and colleagues, showed surprising potential.

Its atmosphere would store heat well, thanks to its dense CO2, a greenhouse gas. And the red light from the star would also penetrate the atmosphere and warm the surface.

"In all cases, the temperatures allow for the presence of liquid water on the surface," say the researchers.

For budding travellers, though, Gliese 581d would "still be a pretty strange place to visit," the CNRS said.

"The denser air and thick clouds would keep the surface in a perpetual murky red twilight, and its large mass means that surface gravity would be around double that on Earth."

Getting to the planet would still require a sci-fi breakthrough in travel for earthlings.

A spaceship travelling close to light speed would take more than 20 years to get there, while our present rocket technology would take 300,000 years.

India's Advanced Communication Satellite GSAT 8 Launched Successfully

भारतीय संचार उपग्रह जीसैट-8 का सफल प्रक्षेपण

भारत के अत्याधुनिक संचार उपग्रह जीसैट-8 का फ्रेंच गुयाना के कोउरू अंतरिक्ष केंद्र से यूरोपीय प्रक्षेपण यान ‘एरियनस्पेस’ की सहायता से सफल प्रक्षेपण किया गया. इससे देश की डायरेक्ट-टू-होम (डीटीएच) सेवा को मजबूती मिलेगी.
जीसैट-8 यूरोपीय प्रक्षेपक एरियनस्पेस के एरियन-5 रॉकेट की मदद से भारतीय समयानुसार तड़के दो बजकर आठ मिनट पर प्रक्षेपित किया गया. सह यात्री के रूप में इसके साथ जापान के एसटी-2 अंतरिक्ष यान को भी भेजा गया.
फ्रेंच गुयाना दक्षिणी अमेरिका के उत्तर-पूर्वी तट पर फ्रांस का एक क्षेत्र है.
प्रक्षेपण के समय जीसैट-8 उपग्रह का वजन 3,100 किलोग्राम था. यह सबसे भारी उपग्रहों में से एक है. उच्च क्षमता वाले उपग्रहों को बेंगलूर स्थित भारतीय अंतरिक्ष अनुसंधान संगठन मुख्यालय द्वारा तैयार किया जाता है.
प्रक्षेपण पर नजर रखने वाले इसरो के दल ने इस उपग्रह के सफल प्रक्षेपण पर खुशी व्यक्त की.
इसरो अध्यक्ष के. राधाकृष्णन ने कहा ‘इस बात की घोषणा करते हुए मुझे अत्यंत खुशी हो रही है कि बेंगलूर के निकट हासन स्थित इसरो के ‘मास्टर कंट्रोल फैसिलिटी’ ने जीसैट-8 से संकेत मिलने की पुष्टि कर दी है.’ उन्होंने कहा ‘यह (प्रक्षेपण) हमारे लिए एक और महान क्षण है.’ राधाकृष्णन ने कहा कि भारत का उपभोक्ता समुदाय भारतीय राष्ट्रीय उपग्रह प्रणाली में 24 उच्च क्षमता वाले केयू बैंड ट्रांसपोंडरों के संचालन की ओर देख रहा था.
इसरो के अधिकारियों ने कहा कि पिछले साल देश से प्रक्षेपित किये गये दो जीएसएलवी उपग्रहों के असफल रहने के कारण अंतरिक्ष एजेंसी को इस प्रक्षेपण के सफल रहने से दोहरी खुशी मिली है. इसरो ट्रांसपोंडर क्षमता बढ़ाने के लिए प्रयासरत था जिसकी भारी मांग है.
जापान की मितसुबिशी इलेक्ट्रिक कंपनी द्वारा निर्मित एसटी-2 सिंगापुर टेली कम्युनिकेशन लिमिटेड (सिंग टेल) और ताइवान की चुंघवा टेलीकॉम कंपनी लिमिटेड द्वारा संयुक्त रूप से संचालित किया जाएगा.
जीसैट-8 अपने साथ 24 ट्रांसपोंडर ले गया है जिससे भारत की केयू बैंड क्षमताओं में खासकर भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप की डायरेक्ट-टू-होम टीवी प्रसारण सेवाओं में वृद्धि होगी.
इसके अतिरिक्त जीसैट-8 भारतीय नभ क्षेत्र और आसपास के इलाकों में वायुयान दिशा निर्देशन सहायता के लिए गगन प्रणाली के दो चैनल लेकर गया है.

Defy the given>>> Challenge the equillibrium >>>Subvert the paradigm

Reinvention is all about taking the resistance out of inner space.

It is about understanding the world from the state of 'feeling good'.

If I am feeling good because of something (I have no control on that something)

then the whole process is at risk.

Every one need to orient one's life story towards a certain and right way.Don't think that you are not in a comfortable position for doing something big even the situation is worst for you.You are always in such position but for this you should have some intention for this.I wanna tell you about some of guys who were nothing at their early stage but now they stunned the whole world.Some of them are....
1.DHIRUBHAI AMBANI
(From a gas station attendant at earlier stage,he leaded the largest business house of world's biggest democracy "THE REPUBLIC OF INDIA").
2.AMITABH BACHCHAN
(The guy who break the barrier of age and at the age of around 60's he is still energetic and passionate about his work.The word is justified by it that he was voted as the youth icon at the age of 60.When at their charm-est state most of the film star worrying about their job he became the busiest superstar of "THE REPUBLIC OF INDIA")..........REST ON NEXT POST
