Freevolt Creates ‘Free Perpetual Power’ Out of Thin Air

Getting
everything for free. Well, now we
might have something like that in
reality as well. With this latest
development, you can power your low
energy electronic devices for free and for a
very very long time.
Freevolt is the technology that could
absorb energy from the radio waves and
convert it into useful and long lasting
powering source. And since we are not
going to run out of these electromagnetic
radiations anytime soon, this technology
might just be a brilliant piece of
innovation.
Now, this is not the first attempt at
creating a technology of such sort but
efforts had been going on since many
years on this front. Interestingly, there is
an app that helps you see all the wireless
signals flying around you.
The product of the Drayson
Technologies, however, is the first
commercially available technology of such
kind that aims to cut out our energy
dependence on the conventional sources.
The Freevolt system has a multi-band
antenna that extracts energy from the
surrounding within 0.5- 5 Ghz range and
transmits it through an "ultra-efficient"
rectifier which converts this RF energy
into usable DC energy. The DC energy is
stored in a power management module for
later use.
The available Freevolt system can produce
about 100 μW in a location flooded with
RF energy. Now, this energy might sound
too low for your regular electronics, but it
can power the sensor based system of
your home, like a smoke alarm or a low
power security cam.
But, this is just a start. If we are able to
harvest the energy from the
electromagnetic spectrum, with the ever
advancing technology, it shouldn't be a
problem to amplify it to create a
substantial power system.
Drayson is now working on flexible
models of Freevolt to widen scope
beyond sensors and for that the company
is sharing its patents and ready to offer
technical assistance to its takers. Drayson
has also developed CleanSpace, an air
pollution monitor that exclusively works
on Freevolt.
CleanSpace keeps tabs on the air quality
specifically carbon monoxide and
feedbacks the data to your smartphone via
Bluetooth. The app gives you points in the
form of CleanMiles feature that
encourages users to develop a healthy
lifestyle by walking and cycling. To
appreciate your efforts towards reducing
pollution, Drayson allows you to exchange
these earned CleanMiles for gifts by its
partners like Amazon.
The CleanSpace Tag, however, is available
in the UK for now through a crowdfunding
campaign. You can get your own Freevolt
system with CleanSpace for £55.
As for our opinion, the technology seems
quite promising and if escalated to bigger
proportions, it could somewhat be an
immediate solution.

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

​Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.  The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security.  SMS-based 2FA has a  known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to  socially engineer  an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack  using algorithms  to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...
