A BATTERY MADE OF NATURAL STONE
The system CESAR, developed by Cees van Nimwegen and his Dutch company NICE developments, consists of a basalt-based battery that can store large quantities of electricity generated by solar panels and wind turbines.
Basalt, on the other hand, is a quite common type of volcanic rock that easily absorbs heat. In the system, sustainably generated electricity is led through a system metal pipes, which heat up the stone, up to 500 degrees Celsius (930 degrees Fahrenheit).
The basalt is stored in a metal container, insulated by a layer of rock wool of 1 m (3 feet) thick. Thanks to this insulation, the heat can be stored for months, even years and be used to heat houses, for instance. All the materials can easily be recycled.
A proof-of-concept installation is currently in use in Sint-Oedenrode, the Netherlands. The system consist of a container with spiralling pipes and 40 m3 basalt, covered in a layer of rock wool. The energy of 50 PV solar panels are stored in summer and used to heat an event hall in winter. Another trial project is in Boekel, the Netherlands, where the energy of 700 PV solar panels will be stored to heat 36 houses all year round. https://materialdistrict.com/article/battery-natural-stone/
Will your body be the battery of the future?
- By Sebastian Anthony on September 5, 2012 at 8:25 am
The average human, at rest, produces around 100 watts of power. This equates to around 2000 kcal of food energy, which is why your recommended daily intake of calories is around 2000 kcal. Over periods of a few minutes (or a few hours in the case of trained athletes), we can comfortably sustain 300-400 watts — and in the case of very short bursts of energy, such as sprinting, some humans can output up to 2,000 watts.
As it stands, battery technology is by far the biggest limitation when it comes to modern technology. Batteries are large, heavy, and except for one recent breakthrough can only be fashioned into a few very restrictive shapes (cylinders, bricks). If we could remove batteries from the equation, it would suddenly be possible to have truly wearable computers — computers wrapped around your wrist, embedded in your shoes, or woven into your clothes.
Now, just so we’re clear, this isn’t my crazy pipe dream. Engineers have been working on ways of reclaiming wasted energy for years, first through “dumb” methods that capture waste heat, and more recently using microelectronic and nanoscale devices that capture energy from your every movement. In Sweden, for example, Stockholm’s Central Station uses heat exchangers to convert commuter body heat into hot water, which is then piped to an office building next door — an approach that could easily be replicated in shopping malls and supermarkets around the world. Last year, we wrote about a piezoelectric film — a material that you can place anywhere to produce electricity from the smallest of movements, such as typing on a keyboard or the swing of your arms as you walk. The University of Wisconsin has created a special shoe that uses electrowetting to produce 10 watts — a huge amount of energy — just from walking.

Profesor colombiano lleva más de 40 días atrapado en China por covid En una pesadilla se convirtió el viaje a China del profesor colombiano John Altamirano Uribe, quien iba trabajar en el instituto HD Bilingual School de Beijing. COLOMBIA | PUBLICADO EL 11 OCTUBRE 2021 https://www.elcolombiano.com/colombia/profesor-colombiano-lleva-mas-de-40-dias-atrapado-en-un-hospital-de-china-por-covid-ML15876831 En Colombia, el docente hizo los respectivos trámites consulares y sanitarios, entre ellos la prueba de covid-19, que le salió negativa. Ese resultado le permitió abordar el vuelo al país oriental, pero al aterrizar le ordenaron un nuevo examen, cuyo resultado fue positivo.
“Ha sido una experiencia bastante terrible. Es un hospital público donde las condiciones de aseo no son las más apropiadas. No he podido ver la luz del sol porque no me permiten salir del cuarto ni abrir la puerta. La salud mental ya se empieza a deteriorar”, expresó Altamirano en entrevista con Blu Radio.
Estoy peor que un preso; me declaro en huelga de hambre: el drama del profesor Altamirano en China Viajó a China para dar clases. En medio de lágrimas, el docente relata su pesadilla y dice que no descarta una huelga de hambre. Por: Redacción BLU Radio26 de Noviembre, 2021 https://www.bluradio.com/nacion/estoy-peor-que-un-preso-me-declaro-en-huelga-de-hambre-el-drama-de-profesor-altamirano-en-china No termina el calvario para el profesor colombiano John Altamirano, quien ha sido internado en varias ocasiones en China tras enfermarse de COVID-19 . En las últimas horas, el docente fue hospitalizado nuevamente en Hangzhou, China.
En diálogo con Mañanas BLU, Altamirano dijo que se declarará en huelga de hambre, con el objeto de buscar ayuda: “En este momento me estoy declarando en huelga de hambre. No puedo seguir viviendo de arroz. Necesito que por favor alguien me ayude”.
El docente dijo que no tiene COVID-19 y, pese a eso, lo mantienen encerrado: “Son las regulaciones de acá, son estrictas, pero ya, sin querer criticar, mis derechos humanos se están viendo vulnerados”.
El profesor manifestó que viajó a China en agosto para trabajar en un colegio de Beijing como docente internacional. [P]ese a que las reiteradas pruebas que han dado negativo, lo siguen asilando, una y otra vez. “Después de los dos meses que pasé en este hospital, salieron esas dos benditas pruebas negativas. Después de esos me llevan a un hotel, porque hay que hacer 14 días más. En esos días me traían al hospital para más test, que salieron negativos. Yo ya podría salir, pero como no tengo casa acá me dijeron que me fuera a otro hotel por otros 14 días”, explicó.
Añadió que no puede mandar fotos ni videos de su estado a su familia y añadió que su condición es 10 veces peor que la de un preso. “Mi condición es 10 veces peor que la de un detenido. Un detenido tiene derecho al menos una hora o unos minutos a tomar el sol. Hace tres meses que no hago un baño de sol. Un preso puede hablar con otras personas, puede recibir visitas. Yo no”, indicó.
Agregó que su salud mental está muy afectada por el encierro y expresó que extraña a su familia. Por esta razón, pidió a las autoridades que lo dejen viajar a Colombia, hacía sea en un “traje de astronauta”. “Que me saquen de aquí en un traje especial si consideran que soy contagioso, pero que me saquen de aquí”, puntualizó.
Scientists develop ‘magic carpet’ technology
A prototype that imitates the enchanting flying motion of a magic carpet has been developed by physicists at Princeton. Hop on.Lee BellOct. 5, 2011 4:31 a.m. PT The prototype imitates a magic rug by lifting sheets of conductive plastic with waves of electrical current. The sheets’ rippling then controls thin pockets of air and propels itself forwards and backwards. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/scientists-develop-magic-carpet-technology/
BALMORAL PYRAMID & BEATRICE’S CAIRN – SCOTLAND ??????? There are eleven stone cairns on the Balmoral estate in Deeside, Scotland, and a single cairn on the adjoining Birkhall estate. The cairns commemorate members of the British royal family and events in their lives.[1] The majority of the cairns were erected by Queen Victoria.

Believing in “Bad Vibes” Exploring the science of emotional residues By Daisy Grewal on November 1, 2011 https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/believing-in-bad-vibes/ [i]ntriguing new research suggests that it may have biological underpinnings. A well-publicized study from earlier this year demonstrated that human tears emit a chemical that other people detect and respond to. Specifically, women’s tears were shown to reduce testosterone and sexual arousal in men. Research by Wen Zhou and Denise Chen of Rice University have demonstrated that human sweat glands emit distinct chemicals when people experience different emotions. In addition, they showed evidence that other people can sense those chemicals at a later point in time. Taken together, these new findings suggest that our intuitive beliefs in emotional residue may be more than just superstition.

The World Wireless System was a turn of the 20th century proposed telecommunications and electrical power delivery system designed by inventor Nikola Tesla based on his theories of using Earth and its atmosphere as electrical conductors. He claimed this system would allow for “the transmission of electric energy without wires” on a global scale[1] as well as point-to-point wireless telecommunications and broadcasting. He made public statements citing two related methods to accomplish this from the mid-1890s on.

Pyramids packed with fossil shells
Monday, 28 April 2008Jennifer Viegas
Discovery News Many of Egypt’s most famous monuments, such as the Sphinx and Cheops pyramid at Giza, contain hundreds of thousands of marine fossils, according to a new study. https://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2008/04/28/2229383.htm Most of the fossils are intact and preserved in the monument walls, giving clues to how the monuments were built.
The authors suggest the stones that make up the Giza plateau, Fayum and Abydos monuments must have been carved out of natural stone as they reveal what chunks of the sea floor must have looked like over 4000 years ago, when the buildings were erected.
“The observed random emplacement and strictly homogenous distribution of the fossil shells within the whole rock is in harmony with their initial in situ setting in a fluidal sea bottom environment,” write Professor Ioannis Liritzis and his colleagues from the University of the Aegean and the University of Athens.
