Hydrogen engine vehicle - is it efficient enough?

2008-06-20T21:00:00.001-07:00

Today when people are talking more and more about alternative energy sources especially for the cars we have many different products coming out. Hybrid cars that run on gasoline and electricity, pure electric cars etc. Hydrogen vehicles are using hydrogen as the energy carrier not the energy source so people would need some large scale hydrogen plants or home hydrogen stations to power their cars.

Hydrogen can be produced by many thermo-chemical methods using coal (coal gasification), natural gas, biomass, liquefied petroleum gas, biohydrogen. Hydrogen can also be produced from water by electrolysis. However, this process takes a lot of energy and it should be renewable energy sources to call it ecologically clean fuel. It would take humanity a few decades to create a low cost hydrogen production as all these methods are very expensive. However, the only emission you have is water and that is a very good deal.

There are two ways of using hydrogen to run the vehicle:

* Internal combustion works similar to ordinary gasoline engine but runs on hydrogen.
* Fuel-cell conversion produces electricity via hydrogen + oxygen reaction to power electrical engine.

However in both of these ways of powering the car hydrogen is not that efficient because it has low volumetric energy. This means that it can store less energy than some substances we use today. For example: even if we keep hydrogen in liquid form its volumetric energy density will be only megajoules per liter, which is much smaller than that of gasoline.

Using hydrogen as the electricity carrier is even less efficient than using Li-Ion batteries in the cars. As you can see on this chart you lose 7% of energy you get from the plant for charging the batteries and 7% of the remaining amount is lost in the battery itself.

However if you want to use hydrogen to store that energy this is what you get: 30% of energy from the windmill for example is lost during the process called electrolysis, the other bad thing is that you need to compress the gas in order to use it and this is where you lose another 10%, finally fuels cells are not that efficient and you lose up to 60% of remaining energy there. See for yourself which method is more efficient.

Taking in consideration all these hydrogen fuel is one of the most expensive to produce and one of the least efficient energy carriers out there. Maybe we will be able to produce hydrogen fuel but we surely need to lower the cost of its production dramatically.

Nokia N96 Expected To Ship In July

2008-06-01T02:53:00.000-07:00

We can expect the Nokia N96 to start shipping soon in July. It will be available for $800 while Play.com has it on the list for about $1200. We have already seen the specs of this phone already that it will has Wi-Fi, GPS, DVB-H mobile tv—all built in, and 5 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash and auto-focus.

Are you ready to spend your $800 for it?

The Nokia N96, which was announced earlier this year at the 2008 Mobile World Congress, is the latest flagship Nseries, sporting a 5 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash and autofocus. This big black beast also includes quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) and WCDMA (2100MHz), WiFi, a built-in GPS receiver, and support for DVB-H mobile television.

The best part of the N96, in my opinion, however, is the innovative kickstand that’s located around the camera lens on the back of the hands. You can flick this little stand out to prop the handset up and watch video no matter where you are. Completely brilliant. The handset also dual-slides like the N95 but adds 2 gaming buttons to the media keys.

Play.com has the handset listed at 599.99 GBP ( $1,200USD) for preorder, saying they expect the handset to be released on the 31st of July. I realize this is a pre-release price, and thus is inflated, but seriously? What else can $1,200 buy you, currently? Well, the first thing that comes to my mind is the 1,111 Double Cheeseburgers at McDonald’s, for starters.

What else could you buy with $1,200, other than an Nokia N96?

(For the record, Nokia’s estimated retail price for the N96 is 404 GBP ($800USD), so don’t get too depressed just yet.)

ASUS M70 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 1GB video memory

2008-05-31T11:01:00.000-07:00

ASUS launched a monster called stiffly M70. ASUS M70 was born for fulfilling the dreams of those who want a very powerfull notebook.

The only negative part is its weight of 3,78Kg but if we take in account its dimensions (41×29.8×3.84 - 3.94 cm) we can say that it is normal.

Lets start with the endowments. For example the model called Asus M70SA-7U032G has an Intel Core2 Duo T9300 (2500MHz with FSB 800MHz and cache L2 de 6144kb) processor. 4 GB of RAM memory are sufficient to run Vista without problems. And if we started to talk about Vista, we need to mention that the video plaque is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 with 1 GB memory.

The 17 inch screen has a Full HD resolution i.e. 1920 x 1200.

Asus M70SA-7U032G has 1 hard disk of 500 GB but exists a model in M70 series with 2 hard disks of 500 GB each. These are installed in RAID 0 for offering 1 TB of space for stocking. Just try to count yourself what you can place on 1 TB.

And for such space on a hard disk Blu-ray optic unit is the thing you need. Because of the high cost of Blu-ray units this endowment is optional. A standard variant includes a DVD Writer Super Multi.

M70SA, being a multimedia system, respects this high standard and has a sound plaque with a support for Dolby Home Theater. Its 4 speakers and a subwoofer are made by Altec Lansing and are not noname as usually notebooks have.

All high-end class ASUS notebooks have a web cam so M70SA is not the exception to the rule with its 1,3 mega pixels.

With the autonomy of the monster is dealing a battery of 8 cells on 5200 mAh.

Conclusions:
If you want an extremally performant multimedia notebook, M70 is one of the best options on the market. The prize is OK for its super endowments.

But because of its heavy weight we can not recommend it for those who need high mobility.

KumoTek KT-X Humanoid Robot Kit

2008-05-29T10:39:00.000-07:00

Texas based KumoTek announces the KumoTek KT-X (KumoTek-X) bipedal humanoid robot developed in cooperation with Japanese Vstone.

KumoTek targets the educational market with its KT-X robot kit. KumoTek has built an entire education system around their robots called Robot P.E.T.S. (Robots Promoting Education Through Science).
The idea behind Robot P.E.T.S. isn't to build a machine that will do your chores, bring you drinks, or beat up bullies. Instead it is cool curriculum designed to pull kids away from video games and launch them into the world of robotics science and mechanical engineering.

There are three versions of the KumoTek KT-X robot kit available starting at $990.

Available versions:
KT-X Lite: 13 motors -- $990 USD
KT-X: 17 motors -- $1,290 USD
KT-X Gladiator: (w/ rotating hips and torso): 20 motors -- $1,490 USD

The 13 inches tall KT-X robot can be controlled with a wireless PS2 controller.
The KumoTek robots are selling on the Robporium site. See also the KumoTek site.

Spy Backpack Porta2030

2008-05-21T23:11:00.000-07:00

A while ago, we reported on some Spy Camera Glasses, a device which could take some cool pictures on the go, despite its obvious lens. In keeping with this tradition of semi-concealed cameras, we would like to present the Porta2030, a spy backpack.

At first I thought the purpose of the Porta2030 was to take pictures, then download them later like any normal camera. However, the Porta2030 is actually capable of so much more as it can stream images to a website.

In other words, if the bad guys catch you taking pictures of their secret base, they can’t eliminate the evidence by simply killing the camera. By the time they can get their mitts on the secret camera, the pictures are already out on the net, hopefully receiving many hits.

A mobile data-sensing storage system makes this feature possible, and the Porta2030 also features an open source system, a 1GB flash card, a webcam, as well as an LCD mini-terminal.

I’m not surprised that something like this has been made, because I could have really used it during CES last January. Walking around with my backpack on a shoulder and a camera in the other hand wasn’t exactly fun, and it would have been nice to have a device that could have done both. Coolest Gadgets could have had some great realtime coverage then.

I have not heard whether the Porta2030 is some lone inventor’s concept device, or an actual device ready to be marketed. If you ask me, they can’t market this soon enough.

UBanana uCan Waterproof MP3 Player

2008-05-21T23:06:00.000-07:00

Considering that most of us get our music fixes from iPods or other MP3 Players, it is not surprising that we want to take our audio experience into the water. If you are the type that wants your music in the pool, you could invest in something that will keep the MP3 Player waterproof, such as the Atlantic EGO iceBar2.

Or you could take the whole MP3 Player and make it waterproof, at least up to 3 meters. This is where portable media players such as the uBanana uCan come in.

You may notice that the UBanana uCan sort of resembles the Opera Headphones that we reported on a few weeks ago. I don’t think that there is any copyright infringement going on here. The design is meant to fit on the back of the head, so you don’t have to worry about any pesky cords.

However, I can’t speak about the Opera on this, but the uBanana uCan can float. I guess this is for those times when you dive in and the UBanana slips off of your head. It should be a lot easier to retrieve when it’s not at the bottom of the pool.

The Ubanana Ucan is available for pre-order for about $154. It comes with 1 GB worth of memory and a battery life of about 15 hours.

Talon Performance street legal quad

2008-05-21T22:58:00.001-07:00

Forget those super exotics that you see spoilt rich brats drive up in front of the club with two birds in tow, while you and your group of friends curse your down and out luck at not having a bottomless bank account and having to rely on public transport to get around town.

Enter the Talon Performance - this is a street legal quad that won’t cost you an arm and a leg, and yet is sleek enough to draw more stares from folks compared to a Ferrari. I suppose the number of stares received is for a very good reason - this is hardly seen around, and they’ll probably wonder what kind of eclectic character would drive a vehicle such as this, especially on a Saturday night. Check out the specifications after the jump.

* Engine KFX 700: Liquid-cooled, four-stroke V-twin, SOHC, four valves per cylinder with wet sump
* Displacement: 697cc
* Bore x Stroke: 82 x 66mm
* Carburetor: Dual Keihin CVKR-D32
* Starting: Electric
* Transmission: Kawasaki Automatic Constant Velocity Transmission with forward, reverse and neutral
* Final Drive: Shaft
* Frame Type: Double cradle, racing type, high tensile 1.25″ tubular steel
* Suspension: Front: Dual A-arms, coil-over shocks
* Rear: Linkless swingarm, billet aluminum gas-charged shock
* Tires: Dunlop 205 40 ZR17
* Brakes: Front: Dual discs with two-piston calipers
* Rear: Sealed, oil-bathed, multi-disc
* Overall length: 107 inches
* Overall width: 59 inches
* Overall height: 43 inches
* Wheelbase: 63 inches
* Ground clearance: Center of chassis 6 inches
* Lighting: Dual L 35W /H 75W halogen headlights, LED tail light/brake light
* Dry weight: 765 lbs
* Fuel capacity: 3.2 gal. optional 7 gal.

Granted, this won’t be smoking any vehicle on the road anytime soon, and woe to you when you bring a hot date on the Talon Performance and the unforgiving skies decide to fool around with you and ruin a seemingly perfect evening.

AMD GAME! announced

2008-05-21T22:51:00.000-07:00

AMD has just announced AMD GAME!, a program that will help design consumers choose the perfect PC for high definition gaming. Yes, ladies and gentlemen,

high definition looks set to take over the entertainment world in the immediate future, although it will take some time more as high end graphical hardware isn’t exactly cheap to the average Joe at this point in time (not to mention the ever falling dollar that seems to be worth less and less each day. AMD GAME! platforms bring together the powerful balance of multi-core processors, exceptional HD digital media, and next-generation graphics processing power in a single package. Acer, Alienware, Logitech and Microsoft will be hooking up with AMD to ensure consumers can easily identify PCs that deliver HD gaming and entertainment experiences out of the box. Sorta like a “buying gaming PCs for dummies” kinda thing made easy.

AMD strongly believes that consumers ought to benefit from a balanced platform with matched and tested components that meet their needs with each purchase, and not end up with components and software that will compromise their overall gaming experience. This means gaming PCs should be adequately equipped to handle the more demanding moments of gaming action or HD entertainment without stutter or lag. The AMD GAME! initiative aims to bring this vision to pass, ensuring that each PC you buy has already been optimized for gaming with the right graphics and processor components. This means hardware and PC components that carry the AMD GAME! logo automatically lets on that one will be bringing home a customized and exceptional gaming experience with each purchase.

I wonder how many hardcore gamers who prefer building their own computers from scratch will actually purchase an AMD GAME! system off retail shelves. After all, that is an extremely picky bunch, which is why they construct their own gaming rig in the first place. I would recommend an AMD GAME! system to those who don’t know jack about video cards or are just too lazy to do their own research, and yet want an optimal gaming experience.

Latest USB Missile Launcher works via MSN Instant Messenger

2008-05-17T08:40:00.000-07:00

We first reported about the USB missile launcher in 2006. You could launch missiles only from the connected PC. The latest USB MSN Missile Launcher actually can be remote controlled via the MSN messenger software and has an integrated webcam for aiming at your remote target.

Of course you should get at least two MSN USB Missile Launchers and give one to your friend, else you cannot remotely attack him or her.

The foam missiles shoot 15 feet accompanied with sound effects.
The MSN enabled Missile launcher sells from gadget shop Brando for $49 and will start shipping on January 18th.

Coolest Trashcan ever …

2008-05-16T09:17:00.000-07:00

And around $100, it may be the most expensive too! But come on, it’s R2D2, man! The only thing that would make this cooler is if it doubled as a trash compactor with swiss army knife attachments.

“Remember when Luke and Leia and the gang were stuck in that trash-compactor aboard the Death Star? And the walls were closing in and there was some kind of gross muck monster down there and everything? Well, remember how R2D2 hacked into the computer system and stopped the contractor from crushing everyone, saving the day like a little robot hero? Pretty awesome, right? But you know what the moral of that story was? R2D2 knows how to handle some trash!”

It’s the perfect addition to that Star Wars themed room you have. Especially if it’s a home theater. Made of durable vinyl construction, the R2 trash can is 24-inches high, and you open R2’s head by stepping on his center “foot.” A removable interior bucket makes taking out the trash easy – although, come on, why doesn’t the “well put together” astromech droid empty himself?
But it doesn’t really need to be just for trash. This R2 unit can also become the coolest drink cooler of all time. Just fill with Ice and the drink of your choice. And if you can attach R2 to iRobot’s Developers Kit Robot, you’ll have R2 serving bar like from Return of the Jedi!

Gotta have one of these.

Crazy CD player is out of this world

2008-05-13T21:58:00.000-07:00

When was the last time you found yourself in a store looking to purchase a new CD player? I’m not talking about one for your car, or even a portable one, but just a CD player for a room in your house...

If you’re anything like me, it’s been a very long time. This is why companies that still make such devices are trying their hardest to make CD players more appealing to consumers. Take this strange CD-T300 Pro for example.

Shanling, the company responsible for creating this device specializes in making rather unique products. They stand apart both inside and out. It’s easy to see how the neon lights and interesting shapes are going to draw a few strange glances from visitors in your house, but that’s not what really sets this apart from the rest of the crowd.

The CD-T300 features four amplification valves which are supposed to offer some of the best sound quality around. How good is the sound quality? I can’t say for sure, but they seem to think its worth $12,000. I think I’ll just stick with my iPod dock.

Palm TX Handheld

2008-05-13T21:49:00.000-07:00

Listen to music from the built-in MP3 Player through a speaker or a 3.5 mm Stereo jack. Wireless capabilities include Built-in Wireless, WLAN 802.11b, Bluetooth and Infrared FIR. Accessories included with your purchase are a USB Synchronization Cable, Flip cover and AC adapter. From a Gadget Addicts perspective, this slim and easy to use device will come in handy in your everyday life. It also has very cool features and great battery life. If your really in to the high end technology of hand held palms, then you should really consider this device.

Puzzle Alarm Clock

2008-05-13T21:31:00.000-07:00

I think the Puzzle Alarm Clock will be pretty frustrating to get used to in the beginning, as you will need to have an alert brain before you can turn the darn thing off.

Featuring a 3-piece jigsaw puzzle, you must assemble it correctly - sounds easy? Apparently not. When the alarm rings, this devil of an alarm clock will shoot out all three pieces, so you’ll need to actually find those before putting it back in, and that act alone ought to be enough to wake you up for good.

This “eye opener” of a gadget is an alarm clock come 3-piece jigsaw puzzle in one. When it’s time to leave your incredibly cosy bed each morning, not only will your ears be treated to a fantastic ringing melody, a 3-piece jigsaw puzzle randomly shoots out. So what you ask? Well, in order to turn off a ringing alarm, you must solve the jigsaw puzzle, assembling it back on to the clock. Seems easy…not! It’s a great way to get up though, as by the time you’ve found all 3 pieces of the jigsaw puzzle and solved it, you’ll be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready for the day ahead.

The Puzzle Alarm Clock retails for £19.98.

HTC Touch Diamond Review

2008-05-12T01:13:00.000-07:00

Just by reading the technical specs, you figure out that it’s a great phone. By dimensions, it’s smaller then iPhone. The design is very eye-catchy. The screen looks fantastic (as it should be because HTC Touch Diamond is a touch-screen). As HTC says, it’s a one-hand-operative phone. The keyboard is a bit too small, you’ll need a while to get used to it.

It comes with pre-loaded Windows Mobile 6.1 (as I understood, it’s the first phone with Windows Mobile 6.1). It has a very fast HSDPA connection.

There has been some calibration mistakes when it was manufactured, it seems. HTC promised to fix them.

Here are the technical specs which make every PDA phone lover to want to have this mobile:

* 2.8-inch VGA display
* WinMo 6.1 Pro
* WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0
* eGPS, FM tuner
* Quad-band HSDPA 7.2
* 4GB internal flash, microSD slot
* 528MHz CPU
* 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus
* 10.7mm (0.47-inches) thick

Smart Dog USB Hub Be Speaker, Four Ports and Radio

2008-05-12T01:12:00.000-07:00

Look like this tiny dog with the size of 8 x 7 x 6.5 cm is really smart with multi functions. It is a 4-port USB hub but if you unclip his head from his body, it will be a portable radio (enjoy your music). With his head back on, it will be a speaker. Cool!!! Available for $19.95.
