Icebreaker

Vikings are imprisoned in ice (don't know how), you have to save them. How? its simple, break the ice (Please refer to "Break The Ice for Dummies").

Use your mouse to slash through ice and make sure the vikings fall in their boat. This game is physics based and don't forget the ice is frictionless.

ACROSS:

1 the reciprocal of the impedance of an electric circuit.

3 a device that opens or closes a contact when energized.

4 the act of turning a timecontinuous signal into a signal that is timediscrete or time-discontinuous.

5 prefix for metric unit that indicates division by one billion.

.

DOWN:

2 a controllable four-layer (pnpn) power semiconductor switching device that can only be on or off, with no intermediate operating states like transistors

6 10³

7 A transmission line formed by two concentric conductors separated by a dielectric designed to confine the fields and their energy in the medium between said conductors. It is often used in applications where signal interference between the cable and itssurrounds must be kept to a minimum.

Choose your own dream!

Hell folks, I just came across this outstanding technology. Its a phone App that let you choose a dream. Soundscape actually effects user mind when they are asleep. User can walk in beautiful gardens, drive in busy traffic or start an adventurous hiking. Even the track for hiking can be selected through this App.

Dream:ON user can create and simulate an entire world in there dreams. This program was produced by Prof. Richard Wireman. He talks bout his program saying that people suffering from depression and anxiety can use this program to get dramatic results.

This app can be used by placing your i-phone near your pillow upside down and choosing a right dream. Later phone will detect the time when the user is asleep and started having a dream through motion sensors. Most interesting thing is that the app is freeware

Best Online flash game for Engineers # 1

Working really hard for hours? Are you stuck in something and cannot come out with a solution? Unable to solve simple math problems which you have solved hundreds of time?
This points to only one thing, YOU NEED A BREAK!!!
Games are a good source of entertainment and relaxation. Most of the times you don't want to leave your workstation, so all you need is an internet connection and a good source of mini flash games. There is a huge collection of games available on internet divided into a lot of categories. But being an engineer, you should have "standards". Fun with mental exercise, that's what engineers want.
So fellows, following is one of my favorite games which is entertaining, challenging, addicting(be careful, don't forget you have work to do) and of course a lot of fun to play.

sugar, sugar

This is a very nice game. Can you see the 'coma' in between "sugar, sugar"? This is the point from which grains of sugar fall freely. All you have to do is, design a path to put 100 grains in each cup provided, fulfilling the given conditions

 

 

Startram ... the SPACE Train!

A train design is now complete which can transport from earth to space. This will be implemented within next 20 years. This train will be capable to transport 4 million passengers through out the year.

The inventor of the 'magnetic levitation train' is among the designers of this project. The cost of the implementation of this project is about $20 billion. The source of fuel of this tram will be solar power which will readily lower the cost of transportation.

It will be a break through in space travel and asteroid mining. A whole industrial network will work in space and will provide us great amounts of resources. If earth faces any catastrophe, this system let the human race to live in space. It will be a giant leap for technology and our transportation system.   

Total amount of weight which this tram can carry is 0.1 million kg at a cost of $40 per kg.  It can achieve 5 miles / sec of speed. The whole system will work on electromagnetism.

A small Engineering related crossword puzzle...its not so simple so you guys can Google around!

ACROSS:

1 the maximum current which can be safely carried by a conductor under specified conditions.

3 the holder of 1069 patents secured during his lifetime.

4 a circuit that changes an AC voltage to DC. Switching elements or diodes are used to create the DC voltage.

DOWN:

1: a system that has no heat transfer with the environment.

2: a horizontal translation parameter of the signal.

5: electrical property of a network that measures its ability to conduct electrical AC current for a given AC voltage.

E.T. Communication

Aliens and other extra - terrestrial creature are yet to be discovered. If they are out there somewhere then we need to communicate with them, for that purpose engineers have designed a signal generator based on 'neutrons'.

Neutrons are sub-atomic particles, making a core of an atom. Electrons rotate around the nucleus of an atom,  which consists of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged particles and electrons are negatively charged. Where as neutrons are neutral with respect to charge, so the waves consisting of neutrons are not deflected due to any electromagnetic disturbances. Neutrons ahave the ability to pass through materials, that's why it is used for such communications.
 
With this technology messages can be sent through many light years in outer space. Moreover the signals can pass through solid objects like rocks and asteroids. In experimentation process and testing, it was recorded that the transmitted signal passed through a 240km diameter rock without loss of any chunk of data.

This technology has limitless advantages, for example, communication with sub-marines, many miles under the sea. Because of its size and weight, it is being used only for experimentation. Later it will be a primary source for military communication.    

Prevent Heart diseases

Heart is the most fundamental part of our body from which body and life’s energy is generated. A healthy heart means a healthy lifestyle. If someone is suffering with any heart diseases or cardiac problem, the following group of food and nutrition can provide not only the cure but they will also protect one from future problems.

It’s very essential to provide your heart with nutrition, specially, for night when you don’t eat or take anything the for hours. The solution is very simple, before going to bed one should take a glass of water and stir it with a few drops of honey and lemon juice. It is very useful for cardiac pain and high heart-beat-rate.

Alfalfa:

                Its juice is a very good medicine for people in discussion. Only fresh leaves of Alfalfa should be used for this purpose. It’s a source of power and energy, specially, for men. It may be taken with carrot juice for better results.

Onion:

                It protects from cardio pain and cardio vascular blockage. It normalizes blood pressure, that’s why research suggests that daily use of 100gm of onion heals the illness of high cholesterol and blockage.

Dates:

                To get the maximum out of dates for a healthy heart, dip a few dates in water for a whole night. In the morning, mash them in the same water and use the paste at least two times a week.

Sunflower:

                Sunflower seeds contain Linoleic acid in a very stable quantity which dissolves cholesterol in blood. Sunflower oil is a healthy substitute to other dairy products.

Grapes:

                Grapes are a source of energy to heart. It diminishes the problems of cardio pain and high heart beat rate. Daily use of grapes can result in a rapid decrease in heart problems. Patient should be given a good mount of grape juice after a heart attack.

Orange:

                Orange juice sweetened with honey is a great remedy and protection from heart diseases.

Apple:

                “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away”, it’s a very true phrase. Apple contains high amount of Potassium and Phosphorus, and a little of Sodium. From centuries apple is used to stabilize heart beat and blood pressure. According to the research of University of California, potassium help prevent a heart attack and apple is without doubt a good source of potassium.
