Never-before-seen footage of a drone in the eye of Hurricane Sam 4f721p
In an unprecedented move, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric istration (NOAA) managed to send a sailboat drone to survey Hurricane Sam, the biggest storm currently on the planet. At the last checkup of the AccuWeather, the Category 4 phenomenon was 612 km away from the Bermuda Islands.
Being inside the eye of the hurricane, the drone recorded impressive images on September 30th. The equipment is a UPS (UNCREWED Surface Vehicle), this is a Unmanned Autonomous Surface Vehicle (in free translation). It is capable of mapping the carbon cycle, climate change and weather forecasting, as it brings with it meteorological and oceanographic sensors for this data collection.
NOAA placed five drones in the Atlantic Ocean for this job. With the analysis of information, it is possible to predict the next steps of the phenomenon and devise a plan to prevent disasters on dry land. Richard Jenkins, CEO and founder of saildrone, a sailboat drone company, says the technology “is going where no research vessel has ever ventured, sailing right into the eye of the hurricane, gathering data that will transform our understanding of these powerful storms.”
The sailboat drone whose recorded images were released fought against waves of 15 meters high and will continue to serve as a for specialists and researchers. Amazing, huh? Watch the video:
Terra 360, the world's fastest car charger 2p6j4m
Through an advanced press release, swiss company ABB officially announced the launch later this year of its newest technology: Terra 360, the world's fastest car charger. The commercial representative has been active since 2010, offering solutions for battery recharging of different magnitudes and for the most varied devices.
Terra 360 can be used in up to four electric vehicles at full power. Its operation consists of the dynamic distribution of energy in a kind of “gas station”, which completely recharges the cars in less than 15 minutes. In three minutes of recomposition, a vehicle can travel 100 km, which optimizes the time for more punctual trips.
The solution comes as a gateway to the popularization of electric cars in the world. The intention is to promote greater reach not only with charging “stations”, but also to expand sales through convenience stores, retail and even in various institutions.
ABB's launch is also a direct response to the competing giant Tesla and excel in your product. while the Superchargers from the company of ELON MUSK Tare 250 KW for use, the Terra 360 offers 360 KW, as the name states. THE ABB should make the charger available in 2021 in Europe, and in other regions, including Latin America, only from 2022.
The new aircraft software j5cz
A new software is coming to improve people's quality of life and still contribute to the environment. It is a system created by the NASA and United States Federal Aviation istration which promises to smooth takeoffs and landings and reduce excessive carbon emissions from aircraft.
The origin of the problem is in the intense traffic of airplanes that produce many pollutants to the atmosphere. according to International Council on Clean Transport (ICCT), more than 1 billion tons of carbon were released in 2019 by this means of transport alone, suring rail and sea. A portion of this is emitted directly on landing and take-off in an unnecessary way, either by the lack of organization at the base or by maneuvers on the runway while the flow of planes is reestablished.
While the aircraft are on the ground, a power system remains active to maintain essential functioning. If maneuvering on the runway is necessary, fuel is spent and carbon is emitted into the sky. The solution of the two big companies is to avoid this. Scientists helped create the new system, which emerged from NASA's work on the stable trajectory of spacecraft.
With two decades of work to modernize the software, the system incorporates 11 bits of real-time data from various airlines, including information about which aircraft landed and which just took off. In this way, technical employees are able to better organize traffic and, in addition to less polluting the environment, reduce noise and excessive movement that hinder engers.
The new software should be deployed in 27 very busy airports in the United States, such as those in New York and Chicago, starting in 2022. There is still no word on when the technology could arrive in other countries around the world.
