The Hyperloop: “The Dawn of a New Era in Transportation” Background: Technology has been around for thousands of years, from simple wooden tools to fully designed mechanisms. We are not perfect and never will be, yet humanity still endeavors to fabricate new, ingenious ideas to aid citizens. We have developed each aspect of Life, Technology, Science, Mathematics, etc. However, as the Modern days progress, Humans and every other aspect of Life, as we know it, have become reliant on Technology…
Democristus: Democritus was born in Abdera, Greece 460 BC. As it was so long ago, people are unsure when he was exactly born so they estimate roughly around 460 BC. He had sadly passed away 370 BC but no one knows where, but then makes that he lived around 100 years! Careers: Woohoo now careers! Back in 460 BC there was no technology that we have today! There was no powerful telescopes that we have! So how did he find out about atoms??? Well! Since Democritus was a contemporary Socrates, he…
Light synthesis principles The basic idea of light waveform synthesis can be described as follows: First, the spectrum of a light waveform is decomposed into its constituent spectral components by a disperser, then, adequate modulators acting on each of this spectral components individually modifies the relative phase (or delay), the amplitude and polarization of these components before they are coherently superimposed again by a combiner to create a desired tailored waveform (Figure 2a)41.…
his companies. Tesla is working to stop pollution by making affordable electric cars. Though it will only bring population down by 50% if successful is a huge deal. The boring Company is working to make an underground railroad of some sort using vacuum tubes to connect city to city, these cart are able to go faster than 200 mph and no traffic which alloys for faster commute. The goal of SpaceX is to colonize mars and parts of the moon, this almost sounds insane but yet an amazing idea at the…
light from a fire or it can be an invisible wave, like radio waves, microwaves, gamma rays, or x-rays. Any form of radiation, whether it be visible or not, is divided into photons which are small clusters of energy, and has the ability to travel in a vacuum. Every photon travels at the speed of light but has a unique energy, wavelength and frequency. Just as chemical energy can be converted from stored potential energy to kinetic energy, electromagnetic energy can be converted from kinetic…
Konrad Zuse is commonly referred to as the Pioneer of computer engineering. Coming from humble begging’s, Zuse’s father worked at a post office to support his son’s interest in computers. Born in Berlin, Zuse attended school as an architect until switching to a civil engineering degree. Tedious calculations in his school work made Zuse want to develop a machine to help him. After taking a job in Herschel Aircraft Co., he began to work on the Z1, his first attempt at a mechanical computer. After…
naval communication greatly. (Sterling, 2008). In world war I, aircraft were used by the military to aid communication. There were used for observations, flying dispatches and scouting duties. By 1917, the British aircraft were using improved vacuum tube wireless and wireless voiced signals. By 1939, the major fighting powers had all improved their aircraft communication systems and capabilities (Sterling,…
Riley is 11 years old. According to Erikson’s psychosocial development stages, she is determining her industry vs. inferiority. Children in this stage typically learn independence, or in other words, how to do things on their own. Teachers begin to take an important role in the child’s life, since they teach the child specific skills. In the movie, Riley’s new teacher asks her to perform a task, more specifically, to stand up and talk about her life before she moved. Riley listens to her because…
didn’t know it was. They all freaked out and started to come up with strategies to get the ball back. These strategies to get the ball back varied to using a long piece of wood to push the ball back on their side of the fence, to building a long vacuum tube to suck the ball back up into their tree house. After all of their strategies failed, Benny decides to jump over the fence and get the treasured ball. The Beast also jumps the fence and chases him all over town. When he returns back with…
Sperry Rand when Mauchly addressed von Neumann with the following: Johnny learned instantly of course, as was his nature. But he chose to refer to the modules we had described as “organs” and to substitute hypothetical “neurons” for hypothetical vacuum tubes or other devices…
