A little time off
Monday, August 20th, 2007
I’ll be taking a bit of a break from posting, as I prepare for a move from the smallcave to a somewhat larger home. So, um, as you were.

Ionic breeze for your computer

You know those dumb things they sell in sharper image? Shrink it down to microchip size, and it could be a great way to cool a computer.

Eyeball telescope
Monday, August 13th, 2007
The IMT is the smallest telescope in the world, designed to be implanted in the eye. It’s designed to refocus the center of the field of vision onto a healthy patch of receptors, in the eye of an older patient with macular degeneration.

Handheld gas turbine
Friday, August 10th, 2007
This handheld turbine can supposedly generate 2.6 kW by spinning at 600,000 rpm. That’s more than twice the power supplied by a standard household solar array, and plenty more than a typical household needs, all in a device the roughly three inches long.

For the record, I think this is dumb. But I haven’t posted anything in three days, so have at it.

Casimir Effect reversible?
Monday, August 6th, 2007
Really tiny stuff sticks together, because at some point there’s less going on in the vacuum between them than there is going on in the vacuum around them. You know how when you try and meditate by clearing your mind and end up thinking about the fact that you’re thinking of nothing, and then eventually you’re trying to figure out what to eat for dinner? The universe does that too. Anyway, apparently these scientists have concieved of a lens that can reverse the effect.
A more technical description of the problem and solution is available here.
