Chair with hairs




Some thing special about human hairs:
§ one strand of hair can support 8,750 times its own weight, a head of hair can support over 13 tons and that hair can double its own length before breaking.
§ This free, sustainable and abundant resource can be molded into any shape and mixed with any matrix
§ It is versatile, waterproof, non-conductive, corrosion free, fire resistant, tough, strong, durable and is able to compete with products, such as medium-density fiberboard, fiberglass, polymers and aluminum
And why I’m telling u all abut this is because some where in London a hairstylist turned to researcher is planning to use human hairs to manufacture a chair J using human hairs a product called Pilius X, the structural basis for the chair . Pilius X is a hair-based bio-polymer mixed with a recyclable bio-resin. and can be dyed to almost any color like hairs

So might be next year Christmas gift to ur loved ones Honey ! a Chair from hair J

Will u like to have cloned nonveg?


To decide whether the cloned animal or the products from cloned animal are acceptable or not first of all we need to know after all how this cloning is done.

To produce a clone, the nucleus of a donor egg is removed and replaced with the DNA of a cow, pig or other animal. A tiny electric shock coaxes the egg to grow into a copy of the original animal. Cloning companies say it's just another reproductive technology, such as artificial insemination, yet there can be differences between the two because of chance and environmental influences
In other words they want to say that none of the genes have been changed or moved or deleted from the original animal. hmm something like genetic twins .
And now when we know some what abt the cloning the question again comes back to the same point will we accept the cloned food.
FDA scientists concluded there is no difference between food from clones and food from other animals
But how ethical will it be to have cloned animal even if it is safe to eat? Wouldn’t the cloned animals will end up just being on the dining tables rather then being an aid to solve the medical issues or improve the heard health. How it will make a difference in economy of poultry industry.
But these all questions come when it will be proven that they are 100 % safe to accept. Then the question will come regarding the special labeling for the eatables produced by these clone animals. I don’t know what these poultries will decide up to but my opinion is that let the ppl decide weather they want to have cloned food for them or not. Just give them the options too.
So if this is accepted then all hotels have to revise their menu with cloned options too.
Again the question comes there and then only will you like to have milk or meat from cloned animal or Not. And how far this is required? Now the decision is yours.

Sunshade for all




People say that creativity is not all about finding out different solutions every time its some thing about applying the simple solution to the different issue too.
How many times we have used the sun shades or sun protection devices in our life’s may be countless times in form of sunscreen, umbrella, hats.. So this simpler idea was utilized by the scientist” Roger Angles” to use the Sunshades to protect the earth from the harmful uv rays. On hearing this it sounds some thing like of Munna Bhai’s CIRCUIT "ho jayenga bhai" .To give sunshade to the entire earth. The easier it sounds the tougher it is.
Initially Roger planned something like a light-blocking cirrus cloud; the flock of spacecraft would diffuse about two percent of the sun's energy away from the Earth.
So instead of one shade, he devised a plan to launch trillions of disc-like craft, each 2 feet in diameter. Made from a lightweight film, each vehicle would weigh as little as a butterfly.
And this special craft will be launched by using electromagnetic energy instead of fuel, using a mile-high vertical track to fling about a million compactly packed spacecraft into orbit at once. It would take about ten years and a few trillion dollars to get every component into orbit. Hff now it looks some thing tough to do, but this is not the end once there, each flyer would join the cloud. Special crafts with radio beacons that work like Global Positioning satellites would be scattered throughout the cloud, sending position and velocity information to each craft to help it maintain its position facing the sun. Further Tiny, mirror-like sails would harness the pressure created by sunlight to control each craft's position.
the expected lifetime of each craft is around 50 years. Although the sunshade could potentially cool global temperatures and what amount of changes it will bring to the weather systems and water cycle is also an not much predictable issue till now.
But but to for the issue we need to get approval from all the nations existing on the earth. which in itself is a tougher task .
And if the plan gets approved and succeeded then we will be having a tiny black spot on the sun. which might be the beauty spot for the sun to save us from the harmful uv rays.
Isn’t it much easier to reduce our emissions, cut our energy use cover small distances by cycle or walk , become more efficient, reduce waste of energy reduce pollution and develop much more renewable energy.
