Smart windows take a page from nature's pinecone playbook

6 February 2025 at 05:00

Have you ever wondered how a pine cone knows when to open and close? It's not magic, it's science.Β 

Now, researchers have taken this cue from nature to create something pretty cool for our homes.Β 

Let's dive into how this revolutionary window technology works, keeping your home comfortable without using a single watt of electricity.

GET SECURITY ALERTS, EXPERT TIPS - SIGN UP FOR KURT’S NEWSLETTER - THE CYBERGUY REPORT HERE

Pine cones have these amazing scales that respond to moisture. When it's damp, they close up tight. But when it's warm and dry, they open wide to release their seeds. This simple yet effective mechanism has inspired scientists to develop a smart window system that could change the way we think about energy efficiency in buildings.

SOLAR DEVICE TRANSFORMS USED TIRES TO HELP PURIFY WATER SO THAT ITS DRINKABLE

Scientists from Germany's universities of Stuttgart and Freiburg have developed what is known as theΒ Solar Gate window facade system. It's like having tiny pinecones built right into your windows. These smart windows have special elements that curl up when it's cool and moist, letting in sunlight to warm your home. But when it's hot and dry, they flatten out to block the sun and keep things cool inside.

NEVER NEED AN EV CHARGING STATION AGAIN WITH THESE ROOFTOP SOLAR POWER PANELS

The Solar Gate system consists of a gridded array of pine-cone-scale-inspired self-bending elements housed between two panes of glass in an aluminum-frame window unit. Each element is ingeniously crafted with three distinct layers, each serving a unique purpose. The bottom layer is composed of a cellulose powder and a thermoplastic blend that swells when exposed to moisture. Above this lies a middle layer made of thermoplastic, which remains unaffected by moisture.

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

The top layer consists of flexible biocomposite filaments that serve to hold the entire structure together. When exposed to moist air, the bottom layer expands, causing the element to curl upwards. Conversely, in dry conditions, it returns to its flattened state. This simple yet effective mechanism allows the window to respond automatically to changing weather conditions, providing optimal shading and light penetration as needed.

SOLAR-POWERED BLIMP COULD BRING HIGH SPEED INTERNET TO YOUR AREA

The Solar Gate system underwent rigorous real-world testing to prove its effectiveness. In a comprehensive year-long study, researchers installed 424 Solar Gate elements in the south-facing skylight of a research building at the University of Freiburg. The results of this extensive trial were nothing short of impressive.

During the cool, wet winter months, the elements responded by curling upwards, allowing ample sunlight to penetrate the building. This natural response effectively warmed and illuminated the interior spaces, reducing the need for artificial heating and lighting. Conversely, as the seasons changed and brought warmer, drier summer conditions, the elements automatically flattened out.

This flattening action served to block excess sunlight, effectively keeping the building's interior cool and comfortable without the need for energy-intensive air conditioning. The test demonstrated the system's ability to autonomously adapt to changing weather conditions, providing optimal comfort and energy efficiency throughout the year.

5 BEST PORTABLE CHARGERS FOR ANY OCCASIONΒ 

This innovative approach to building technology has far-reaching implications beyond just window systems. Researchers have already begun exploring similar biomimetic principles in a variety of applications. For instance, studies have investigated the development of shading systems using wooden slats that can open and close in response to environmental conditions.

In the realm of textiles, scientists are working on "smart" clothing fabrics that can adapt to ambient temperature, providing optimal comfort for wearers. Perhaps most intriguingly, these principles are even being applied to the field of robotics, with researchers developing tiny mobile robots that can respond to environmental stimuli in ways inspired by natural mechanisms. As we continue to draw inspiration from nature's ingenious designs, the potential for creating more sustainable and responsive technologies seems boundless.

Nature never ceases to amaze us with its ingenious solutions, and the Solar Gate window system is a brilliant example of how we can harness these natural wonders. By mimicking the pinecone, scientists have created a game-changing technology that could revolutionize how we approach energy efficiency in our buildings. It's exciting to think about a future where our homes and offices adapt to the environment just like living organisms do. Who knew that the key to smarter buildings was hiding in our forests all along?

Are these autonomous transport pods the future of sky-high commuting?

5 February 2025 at 05:00

Imagine gliding above city traffic in a sleek, autonomous pod, bypassing congested streets and reaching your destination in record time.Β 

This is the promise of Whoosh, an innovative urban transit system set to debut in 2026.Β 

Whoosh represents a paradigm shift in urban transportation, offering a solution that's as efficient as it is futuristic.

GET SECURITY ALERTS, EXPERT TIPS - SIGN UP FOR KURT’S NEWSLETTER - THE CYBERGUY REPORT HERE

Whoosh isn't your typical gondola or cable car system. While it may look similar at first glance, this clever Kiwi invention offers a unique blend of on-demand service, direct routing and privacy that sets it apart from traditional public transportation. Unlike fixed-route gondolas, Whoosh pods are equipped with their own motors and autonomous navigation systems. This allows them to freely traverse a complex network of cables and rails, choosing the most efficient path from one point to another without intermediate stops.

HYDROGEN POWERED RESCUE TRUCK JUST SMASHED A WORLD RECORD AND IT ONLY SPITS OUT WATER

The Whoosh system combines the best aspects of ride-sharing and public transport. Users can book a pod through an app, much like calling an Uber. The pod will be waiting at a nearby station, ready to whisk you away to your destination. These stations are designed with minimal footprint, fitting into a standard car park space and featuring a spiral ramp up to the network height of about 40 feet above the ground. Larger stations can be built at ground level, offering easy access for passengers.Β 

The network itself consists of tensioned cables spanning 500-985 feet, interspersed with shorter sections of steel rail for smooth turns and junctions. This design allows Whoosh to overcome geographical obstacles with ease, crossing rivers, highways or even connecting rooftops.

THE BEST TRAVEL GEAR FOR 2025

Whoosh pods are expected to achieve an average speed of 25 mph across the network. While this may not sound impressive at first, the non-stop nature of the journey means it could be significantly faster than driving through congested urban areas. The system features remarkable efficiency, using less energy for a standard ride than a 10-minute shower. This is achieved through constant motion and low rolling resistance, making Whoosh about twice as efficient as a small electric car. Comfort hasn't been overlooked either. The pods can lean into corners, much like a motorcycle, providing a smooth ride even at higher speeds. The cable sections of the journey offer an especially pleasant "floating" sensation.

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

GET READY TO EXPERIENCE THE THRILL OF EVTOL RACING

Interestingly, Whoosh's journey began in the world of amusement parks. The team behind Whoosh, led by Chris Allington, initially developed the core technology for a zip line ride called the Switchback. This allowed them to prototype and test crucial elements of the system, such as the seamless transition between cables and rails and the eddy current braking system for controlling swing-out around corners.

EXPLORING HYDROGEN-POWERED VEHICLES FOR THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION

The world's first Whoosh transit system is slated to open in Queenstown, New Zealand, in 2026. This picturesque tourist destination, with its challenging geography and traffic issues, provides an ideal testing ground for the technology. Nestled between mountains and a lake, Queenstown suffers from limited road networks and significant traffic congestion, making it a perfect proving ground for Whoosh's innovative transportation solution. The pilot project will demonstrate the system's ability to navigate difficult terrain and provide efficient transit in a compact urban environment, with Chris Allington noting that the location is "small enough that it's actually solvable" while presenting unique geographical challenges.

Crooks can't steal this motorcycle that hides in plain sight

26 January 2025 at 05:00

Imagine walking down a busy city street surrounded by the usual urban clutter β€” graffiti-covered walls, chained bicycles and various pieces of street furniture.Β 

Among these familiar sights, you might pass by what appears to be a nondescript telecom signal box.Β 

But with the push of a button, this unassuming object transforms into a fully functional motorcycle. Welcome to the world of the Nomoto, a revolutionary concept by designer Joey Ruiter that challenges our perception of urban transportation.

I’M GIVING AWAY THE LATEST & GREATEST AIRPODS PRO 2

The Nomoto, short for "No moto here, buddy," is a remarkable electric motorcycle concept that blurs the line between vehicle and urban infrastructure. When parked, it looks like nothing more than a graffiti-covered metal box, seamlessly blending into its surroundings.Β
