‘Working’ Thor’s hammer build by engineer that only can be lifted by him

Electric engineer build's Thor's
weapon, Mjolnir which can only be
lifted by him
A replica of Thor's hammer Mjolnir
build by an electric engineer using
powerful electromagnets and a
fingerprint scanner
Only the ones who are worthy can
hold and use Thor's famous and
legendary hammer Mjolnir in Marvel
comics. For the ones who are not
worthy, which is almost everyone
except Thor and the odd someone
else occasionally (an useful loophole
for writers), Mjolnir just cannot be
lifted off the ground.
It is this thing that electrical engineer
Allen Pan, AKA Sufficiently
Advanced on YouTube, made a
decision to reproduce in his very own
take on a "working" Mjolnir.
He decided to use the strong magnets
to make the hammer immoveable, as
that was the best method. He filled a
microwave oven transformer
electromagnet that uses electricity to
produce a magnetic field inside the
head of his Mjolnir. This in turn
produces a strong magnetic pull,
which is so strong that when the
hammer is put on a metal surface, it
feels very heavy to lift.
The handle is attached to a capacitive
touch sensor, which in turn is
attached to an Arduino Pro Mini and
a solid state relay, which works as a
switching device. The electromagnets
switches on immediately when
someone grasps the handle, attaching
the hammer to the metal surface.
However, a fingerprint sensor that is
keyed to Pan's thumbprint can be
used to turn off the hammer. But the
magnets switches on when Pan holds
the hammer. Then it switches off
again when he moves his thumb over
the sensor, letting Pan to lift the
hammer.
Pan challenged unsuspecting
passersby on the streets of Venice
Beach, California to lift the hammer.
One must say it is quite an
impressive prank.

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...
