Siriusly twinkling
If you live nearly anywhere on Earth and look to the southeast shortly after sunset, you’ll see the figure of Orion. Follow the three belt stars to the east, and you’ll see a bright star: Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky. If it’s near the horizon, you may see it twinkling madly: flickering, dancing, perhaps even changing color.
This gave astronomer David Lynch an idea: take a time exposure of Sirius with a camera and telephoto, and purposely wiggle the mount. He tried it on January 4, 2012, and the result is the picture shown above.
As the vibrating camera caused the star to trail around, the changing colors got recorded along the track. The changing brightness of Sirius can be seen as well, as parts of the loop-de-loop fade and intensify.
The reason stars twinkle is because of our atmosphere: little blobs of air are constantly in motion. These air parcels act like lenses, and as light passes through them, the path of the ray gets bent a little bit. That’s what causes the dancing motion, the actual twinkling.
AeroShot sent me a batch of “breathable energy” to wake up today’s project meeting. It’s lime-flavored inhalable caffeine (and some B vitamins). We wrote about AeroShot in the current issue of Fast Company, and Co.Design has a longer story about the Harvard Prof who created it — he also wants to make smokable chocolate. sweet
Potential new energy source to begin testing.
Praxen Defkalion Green Technologies Global Ltd (PDGT) is a Greek based company with a particularly bad-ass sounding name which for some reason reminds me of Globex Corporation from The Simpsons. But BDGT is working to bring to market a new, clean energy source with the potential to revolutionize the world - if it turns out to not all be a giant lie.
Their technology is based on something called a Rossi Energy Catalyzer, which was patented in Italy last year, and claims to be able to infuse heated hydrogen and nickel, transmuting it to copper and producing heat. The inventor was never awarded an international patent for the device because it seemed to “offend against the generally accepted laws of physics and established theories”.
Now PDGT claims to have developed the technology into a machine capable of creating a multi stage, low energy nuclear reaction, capable of producing 20 times more energy than is put in. A series of third party tests will get underway this year, with the company now “inviting further requests from internationally recognized and reputable scientific and business organizations interested to conduct their independent tests on bare Hyperion Reactors”.
While the whole company and concept have always seemed dodgy and unproven, this independent testing is an exciting step. After all, if the technology is proven to actually work it will likely transform the world we live in. The energy source is said to be millions of times more energy dense than chemicals, and could cause energy prices to fall by up to one hundred times this decade, while eliminating the need for air polluters such as traditional car engines and coal power stations.
