NASA's Kepler Mission Discovers a World Orbiting Two Stars




The existence of a world with a double sunset, as portrayed in the film Star Wars more than 30 years ago, is now scientific fact. NASA's Kepler mission has made the first unambiguous detection of a circumbinary planet -- a planet orbiting two stars -- 200 light-years from Earth.


Unlike Star Wars’ Tatooine, the planet is cold, gaseous and not thought to harbor life, but its discovery demonstrates the diversity of planets in our galaxy. Previous research has hinted at the existence of circumbinary planets, but clear confirmation proved elusive. Kepler detected such a planet, known as Kepler-16b, by observing transits, where the brightness of a parent star dims from the planet crossing in front of it.

Sky Drops - Collecting Water in the Sky

Skydrops is a helium inflated balloon designed to collect water by harnessing Mother Nature’s own energy. Spinning in the wind creates energy used to cool metallic sheets with peltier cells within the balloon. As the air passes through the cooled surface, water begins to condensate, and becomes a liquid before falling through a cable to a reservoir at the ground. Designed to fly uninterrupted for up to 2 months, the Skydrop will be able to create up to  50 liters every day.






A Guidance for selecting the right B-school.

Placements, Quality of faculty, Quality of students, Opportunities for doing internships and ‘live’ projects, Infrastructure, are some of the most important criteria for selecting the right B-school. Another important indicator of the quality of a B-School is the ‘Cut Off’ percentile that it considers for shortlisting candidates for the GD-PI round.

 Going through this list will provide you an indication of the quality of the B-schools and your likelihood of making it to your dream B-schools.
 PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE CUT OFFs ARE FOR MBA ADMISSIONS 2009-10 FOR FLAGSHIP 2-YEAR MBA PROGRAM, AND MAY UNDERGO CHANGES THIS YEAR. more..

Energy Generation

One of the biggest obstacles to the widespread use of wind power generation is that many areas just aren’t that windy.The alternative form of wind energy produced by trains is very unique, as it does not depend on any natural energy resource. A moving train compresses the air in the front of it and pushes the air from its sides thereby creating a vacuum at its rear and its sides as it moves forward. To fill up this vacuum a mass of airflow rushes into the sides and the rear. The kinetic energy of the wind movement thus created can be used to generate electricity.
Roof renovations are integrating solar cell modules into traditional roof materials in order to generate clean energy. This system will promote the effective use of roof space.

Way of disposing of such a vast quantity of human waste & distributing it along the tracks, a place guaranteed to be uninhabited, to sterilize in the searing tropical sun these biodegradable wastes shall be used to produce clean energy & stabilization of wastes. Use of bio-degradable waste has been effective in power production. Bio-degradable waste undergoes a process of anaerobic digestion after which they are subjected to Induction Heating. Methane gas is produced, which then powers the methanol fuel cells. 
The energy is generated without any interference of the normal train operation. This generated electricity can be further used. more...

“INDIA IS NOT POOR…..

ONLY INDIANS ARE POOR”…..

 INDIA lives in villages. India has nearly 600000 villages(nearly 80% of population).There exists Rural-Urban DIGITAL DIVIDE. Rural people are unable to access ICT (Information & communication Technology).Rural people are those  who may not know how  to read and write. So its in the hands of budding engineers to empower them.

Here we are bringing INTERNET facility to laymen in cost-effective AND eco-friendly manner.Thro’ this eco-friendly green-internet concept rural people can get Internet, climate, agro-based services real time. Here we have taken e-mail services for instance. 

CURRENT SCENARIO:WHAT STATISTICS SAY

                                                  Recent 15th census 2011 estimate says that India’s total population is 121 crore .Of the 121 crore out of which 83.3 crore live in rural areas  more....

Water

The Global Situation 



         Less than 3% of the world’s water is fresh – the rest is seawater and undrinkable.

         Of this 3%, over 2.5% is frozen, locked up in Antarctica, the Arctic and glaciers, and not available to man.

         Thus, humanity must rely on this 0.5% for all of man’s and ecosystem’s fresh water needs.more....

Internet


What is cyber terrorism?
  • An attack that undermines the confidentiality or availability of a computer, information resident on it.
  • Some offences under Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Act 2003:
  • Unauthorised access to data
  • Access with intent to commit offences
  • Unauthorised access to and interception of computer service
  • Damaging or denying access to computer system

Energy Generation

In particular this invention relates to the shape and form of leaves and needles and their incorporated nonmaterial’s that allows the Nano leaf to harvest, capture environmental energies like solar radiation, wind and sound and turn this into electricity, the Nano leaves made from a flexible substrate, is exploited on both sides, using a process called thin-film deposition which will incorporated thermo and photovoltaic material for the purpose of converting solar radiation (light and heat) in addition we introduce piezoelectric connective elements that connect/affix the leaf to the plant or tree, this not only allows quick and secure assembly but it also serves for turning wind energy into electricity. Furthermore we intend to get our Nano leaves as close to real as possible, one way to achieve this is to emboss the leaves,
creating a three-dimensional leaf surface image, which is beneficial for harvesting and capturing solar radiation. The invention advances upon all prior art artificial leaves, needles and grasses including water based plants, this method not only foresees an economical and efficient way to harvest solar radiation and wind energy via incorporation of thermo- photovoltaic and piezoelectric materials but also reveals a method for affixing artificial leaves that can harvest and capture solar radiation, wind energy and energy generated from falling rain and hail, providing an aesthetically pleasing and natural looking artificial leaves and needles that can be affixed to trees, plants, shrubs and water based plants. Furthermore the main advantage of these Nano leaves is that these
leaves are converting more energy than the solar panels. When we comprised the energy produced from Nano leaf tree to the energy produced with the solar panels, we found out that artificial Nano trees are converting solar radiation (light and heat) and wind(3 in 1) 130kwh p/in
  per year 370 euro p/in and solar panels are converting sun light 90Kwh p/in2 580p/in2.As far as we concern about the usage of this energy, this electrical energy can be used for driving the car which will reduce the use of the fossil fuels and can be used to enlighten the house.
It concludes by stating that the scope of the renewable energy from the Nano leaf tree in a relatively modern field will tend to solve the very big problems for the world like global  warming.

CLIMATIC CHANGE



Basic Issues

   Earth’s climate varies naturally – because of a variety of cosmological and geological processes.

     “Climate change” refers to an additional, and relatively rapid, change induced by human actions.

     The additional change – several degrees C within a century – will disrupt the foundations of life on Earth.

  Ecosystems and life in general have evolved within a narrow band of climatic-environmental conditions.

Climate Risk Manager

Climate by definition is past weather that prevailed more than 30 years in larger areas/ regions. Climate though partly modified (artificial rainfall and changing plant microclimate agronomically), in larger sense, it can not be modified. Hence it is the mandate requirement of living beings to adapt themselves to the existing ruling climate. Under normal weather/ climate situation, there is variability which has some fixed periodicity. But under change in climate condition (climate change) with increased volume of green house gas accumulation in the atmosphere that triggered air temperature, the study on variability has to be made. Since the atmosphere has no political boundary, the impact from larger greenhouse gas accumulation from one region of the world (developed countries) may affect the other part of the world (developing and under developed countries). Hence climate is to be managed scientifically at the village level by doing local level adaptation and mitigation practices rather than at regional level in order to sustain the livelihood activities of the human population. Under this umbrella, it is paramount important to train selected villagers to manage local climate and this forms one among the adaptation practices to maneuver the impact from climate change. more....
