Physics behind the Arc Reactor

It started with me ranting about how I should understand the physics of arc reactor more and then Sera needs some babel speak ideas for her Tony. I know this has been discussed deeply by most iron man fanatics before, but this is the simplified version for people who can’t be bothered to understand the big science-y words. I’m not saying that this is accurate because I’m not a nuclear engineer either, and I hope I can get some feedbacks from people who actually understand this. Since vibranium is not actually a real element, I’m focusing on the old arc reactor tech that runs on palladium. Let’s do a bit revision on fusion, yes? During nuclear fusion, light atoms combine to form heavier elements; in the process, a small fraction of mass is converted into lots of energy. Fusion reactions are called thermonuclear reactions because high temperatures are required to overcome the coloumbic repulsion between the nuclei being fused, i.e., “thermo” for the heat required...

Sixth Sense Device - Surfaceless computing

'SixthSense' is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. We've evolved over millions of years to sense the world around us. When we encounter something, someone or some place, we use our five natural senses to perceive information about it; that information helps us make decisions and chose the right actions to take. But arguably the most useful information that can help us make the right decision is not naturally perceivable with our five senses, namely the data, information and knowledge that mankind has accumulated about everything and which is increasingly all available online. Although the miniaturization of computing devices allows us to carry computers in our pockets, keeping us continually connected to the digital world, there is no link between our digital devices and our interactions with the physical world. In...

Rovio unveils sequel to 'Angry Birds Star Wars'

Mobile games giant Rovio continues its descent toward the Dark Side. The company announced it will launch Angry Birds Star Wars II , the follow-up to the popular Angry Birds Star Wars title. It will be available September 19 through multiple app stores. The collaboration with Star Wars has been a huge success for Rovio. The first Angry Birds Star Wars game notched over 100 million downloads since launching last year. Characters from the second trilogy of Star Wars films will appear in Angry Birds Star Wars II , including Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu and Darth Maul. The game also introduces Telepods, physical toys players place near the smartphone or tablet to teleport them into a game, a function similar to games such as Activision's Skylanders franchise and the upcoming Disney Infinity . Over 30 toys will be available when the game launches. news source
