Kraftwerk: Portable FuelCell replaces Battery-pack

February 16, 2015February 16, 2015 Tarandeep Singh

If there’s one things that just couldn’t develop at the pace of Moore’s law, its the evolution of battery technologies. Where chips are doubling in power every 3 years, battery power just gets 10-20% better. The solution for the most is to carry a portable Battery-pack for the extra juice. These portable chargers are often rated between 4,000mAh to 11,000 mAh (which translates to 2 to 5 full charge cycles of average modern smartphone). This might be enough for few, but these battery packs take long hours to charge back.…

India Building Safest Thorium Nuclear Power Reactor

October 25, 2012October 25, 2012 Tarandeep Singh

Uranium is a great nuclear fuel for Nuclear power Reactors but it has one flaw. Uranium is costly, and limited when it comes to availability. Alternative is Thorium, but it is one of the toughest Nuclear fuel to handle. Fossil fuels would exhaust soon, Nuclear reactors are the biggest bet. Thorium is available in abundance and often people have lived the Thorium Dream. Why Thorium and not Uranium? Thorium is more abundant and less radioactive than uranium, and it is said that thorium plants are much safer than conventional Uranium…

ARM’s CEO Warren East said that servers based on ARM multicore processors should arrive within the next twelve months. The current architecture, designed for client-side computing, can surprisingly be also used in server applications. Though the implementations of ARM…
