Is it a Bird, Is it a Plane? No, it’s the new Com-Bat Solar Powered Spy Plane

As if we didn’t have enough to worry about, what with the Orwellian, fascist agenda just around the corner. The boffins at the University of Michigan have decided to introduce a new breed of surveillance care of the US Army. Welcome to the Com-Bat solar powered spy plane.

On a positive note.

Here’s an interesting article I came across whilst on my internet travels. The new ‘Walking Solar House‘. The concept is to allow a person to live a peaceful nomadic life… on the move by means of actuated legs attached to the housing module. Energy is collected from a variety of platforms including; solar cells and small windmills. Other eco-systems included with the portable solar house include; rain water collection and solar heated hot water. A small greenhouse can also be added to the rear of the ‘house on legs’ module.

The beauty of humanity and the diversity and rich culture in which we all live never ceases to amaze me. This video is a stroke of genius. Similar to the Sony Bravia advert with the millions of balls rolling down the hill and the most amazing, beautiful soundtrack I have heard in a long long time - Jose Gonzales - Heartbeats. This advert is on the same par if not better.

The boys at GE - General Electric have come up with a real humdinger advert. Elegant, beautiful and a must view. In a lot of cases the adverts on TV are typically a lot better than the content of the programmes they are filling out for. This advert is no exception.

On the subject of alternative energy, acoustic levitation has to be a viable candidate for the accolade of most amazing alternative technologies.

The video in question was filmed by Dr David Deak back in 1987. David was a former NASA employee. (Boo and hiss I hear you cry out) The purpose of the apparatus; to perform an experiment for ’simulated’ microgravity conditions on Earth.

That being said, the applications for such a device go way beyond trying to understand micro-gravitational environments. The current maximum amount that can be lifted by acoustic levitation is a few kilograms - link.

I don’t think much needs to said about this exciting concept phone - the Nokia 888. Suffice to say it gives us a glimpse into tomorrow’s mobile phone technology. Who knows, perhaps three years from now we shall all be walking around with our mobile phones implanted into skulls, and we won’t require such peripherals.

The borg generation beckons.

Check out another concept phone from Nokia, the Nokia Morph.

Here is something I’ve been keeping a close eye on over the past couple of years. It is the Nokia Morph concept phone which looks similar to their other concept phone, the Nokia 888. These phones give us a rare glimpse into how tomorrow’s mobile phone will look and interact with us mere mortals.

Somewhat different to the sleek iPhone, which I feel is the last bastion to the ‘conventional’ mobile phone ‘brick’ design, the Nokia Morph finally bridges the gap between the application of highly advanced technologies and human interaction.

The Nokia Morph uses the latest nanotechnology and electro-luminescent materials, it allows the user to twist and shape the phone into almost any shape. Minority Report perhaps, but this concept phone does give us a privileged glimpse into what is in store for us - the consumer, and how we will interact with tomorrow’s technology.


If you would like to read more about the Nokia Morph then please visit the Nokia website.

Please note that this phone is a concept phone, it is not for sale… yet. So don’t bother asking where you can purchase one. Give it 3-5 years I reckon.

Having personally worked with electro luminescence (EL), I know from experience that the size of the drivers which power the segmented EL are rather large to say the least, however with the help of Cambridge University, UK I’m sure Nokia will deliver a gadget of this caliber. Let us hope it is sooner rather than later.
