How Tesla wall can change the world

A few days ago I watched the Tesla new battery which is capable to store  10Kwh of Energy. This is actually a huge achievement. It is not like anything we have seen before. I think Elon Musk is a genius, I have always been thinking that. but he really is an inspiring human being with amazing capabilities.

The amazing thing about this new battery system is that it can not only be used for private usage but for bigger and scalable uses as well. the same battery can be stacked into a modular battery cell that can power cities and, countries and even the entire U.S!

The most amazing thing that I have came across like many others was the belief that in order to get enough solar energy for the planet we would need to cover 30% of the earth with solar panels. That’s actually not true.

The actual square that would be needed is extremely small compared to the size of the US and on top of that it would be on roof tops. so there won’t be any need for more space usage. the red dot in the middle is the amount of batteries that will be needed to store energy for the entire US.

Is this for real?

Yes My friends it is for real. we can stop the CO2 emissions, we can start right now. and you probably say that the solution will be extremely expensive. well one 10Kwh Battery costs $3,500 USD.  and on top of that Elon keeps all of their blueprints open sourced. This means that they let anyone else go into the market and make a change, design their own models and distribute them.

There is nothing more important than to stop the Co2 emissions and I am a big fan of Tesla. I really think many of use should stand up and shout that we want to go off coal burning methods. the world has to stop doing that for our next generations to come.

Here is the full launch video as well so you can watch it. It’s truly amazing:

How do you find smartphones with the longest battery life possible?

Hi guys,

If you are like me you are hooked on your mobile phone all the time. I use it with so many apps that always I find myself without a battery fast. I did a research to look for better battery life and found a great article that shows it all in one place and the results look pretty awesome however it’s not enough for me so I continued looking.

longest-lasting-smartphones-chart4

Thanks to this post where the comparison is taken from

However the more interesting thing I found was this outstanding comprehensive site for comparison including all models that are about to be released in 2015!

Check the full list on another site that I found here

But after looking for a long time I found out that motorola droid ultra has 40 hours talk time!

If this is real it must be the phone I was looking for. but bummer I found out that its available only in verizon!

I hope to find out how else I can get my hand on one of those. I’m tired of looking where to plug my charger anywhere I go…

How GPS Devices Can Help You Locate Missing Kids or Items

If it happens that your children get lost or you lose an important accessory, these things can be some of the most distressing things that you can go through. Fortunately, there are a number of technologies that are currently being developed that can help you avoid such problems. Some of these are based on the use of GPS. These Turn by Turn Direction gadgets can go a long way in making it much easier for you to find something you have lost within a very short time.

How They Work

The way this type of system works is very easy to understand. Basically, you will need to attach a device that can send out a GPS signal that you can then detect using a device such as your phone. For your kids, for instance, you could opt to buy them a necklace or other accessory that has a transmitter chip. For other accessories or even pets, you can attach the same device on the item in question, such as the collar of the pet. Since these transmitters are very small, they usually do not affect the functioning of the items that they are placed on.

What Happens When You Lose Your Child or Item

If you want to find the item that has a transmitter is attached, you will need to get a device such as a smartphone that can recognize the signals from the transmitter. Since this is a GPS signal, you can then use Turn by Turn Direction software to go to the exact spot where your child or the item you have lost will be. This saves you a lot of time and money, and is also very safe. For instance, if your child ends up being the victim of a kidnapping, ensuring that he or she has such a transmitter will make it easier for the authorities to find him or her.

Great Gear for Geeks on the Go

Nice little piece of article which every geek needs to read

That awkward moment when you realize your flip phone looks goofier than your buddy who’s calling his wife on his wristwatch. No, this didn’t happen to me, but it’s going to, and soon. While a lot of today’s wearable tech is only as smart as the device it’s plugged into, we’re swiftly making progress towards this very scenario.

Of course, the concept of wearable technology certainly isn’t new, but it is in the burgeoning phase of becoming awesome. So to keep you connected to what’s here and what’s coming, we’ve put together a list of the coolest wearable geek gear we’ve seen so far:

The Use of Crowd Mystery in Current GPS Systems

One of the concepts that scientists have been hard at work trying to figure out is crowd mystery also known as “Sheepdog mystery”. Though this is a concept that has gained a lot of attention recently, it is an idea that has been used for quite some time now. Sheepdogs, for instance, are known to make use of it when trying to herd sheep for as long as man has been practicing this form of agriculture.

How the Mystery Was Solved

In the past, scientists had no idea about the logic behind the use of crowd mystery. However, there was an advance in this recently that came about when a sheep-herding dog had a GPS sensor fitted. This was then used to track the paths that the dog took in order to control a herd of sheep. It was then found that it does this in two parts: first the dog consolidates the sheep, and then moves them toward a target.

The Application of This Information

The information from this research was used to develop algorithms that are now used in some GPS systems. For instance, when you use a route planner to map multiple locations, this technology can be used to analyze traffic flow and help you find the best route to use. Though this concept is relatively new, there are a few route planner apps that are being developed to be able to map multiple locations using this technology. If developed successfully, such apps will be very vital in crowd control and other related applications.
