<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>SP's: </b>Last month NASA recorded an extremely rare activity when a huge burst of X-ray was seen coming “out” of a supermassive black hole. Abhas Mitra, an Indian scientist from Mumbai University, has said that these NASA observations support his theory that “true (Einstein’s) black holes” don’t exist.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The conventional astrophysics tells us that black holes are ultra-compact objects that have a gravitational field so powerful that even light can not escape from its “event horizon.” But, last month the world was shocked when NASA caught a huge burst of X-ray coming “out” of a supermassive black hole.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">NASA called these events extremely rare and wrote that it happens when “their surrounding coronas — sources of extremely energetic particles  — shoot, or launch, away from the black holes.”</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Abhas Mitra, an Indian scientist from Mumbai University, has said that these NASA observations support his theory that “true (Einstein’s) black holes” don’t exist and they are actually Sun-like superhot balls of magnetized plasma.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">“Instead of true black holes predicted by Einstein’s theory, we proposed that massive stars end up as balls of fire — called quasi-black holes or Magnetospheric Eternally Collapsing Objects (MECOs),” he says.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">He says that the latest NASA findings can be naturally explained by the MECO paradigm. Talking about the X-ray emissions, he says, “gas streams pulled inward by gravity get extremely hot by friction and may radiate X-rays. While a true black hole cannot possess any intrinsic magnetic field, there can be magnetic field associated with the disk or gas surrounding a MECO.”</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">If you’re the one who finds himself a slave in the bunch of all the cables and versatility of those cables in terms of different interfaces they’ve, then you must read further. WiGig, a new technology has taken the responsibility to fight for your freedom and provide you a cable-free life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Wireless Gigabit Alliance, or simply WiGig, was structured to facilitate the use of unlicensed 60GHz spectrum so as to harness multi-gigabit speeds with low latency and mark a new chapter in the history of wireless communication technologies. As of now, WiGig has been absorbed into the WiFi alliance which was in March, 2013, and efforts are made to create devices having the capabilities of both WiFi and WiGig specifications.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">WiGig has been promoting the IEEE 802.11 ad protocol since 2009, released its version 1.1 certification-ready specifications set in June, 2011. WiGig has its aim to eliminate the need of wired communication between the devices, so you’ll not be needing an HDMI cable once you start using WiGig enabled devices. They’ve been working on enhancing the network performance, so that devices do not feel the need of wires to transmit audio or video signals to other devices. It means you can be completely wireless.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">WiGig does includes the support for existing WiFi bands, their tri-band enabled devices can simultaneously work on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 60 GHz. They only drawback of the high speed 60 GHz band is, it doesn’t pose enough capabilities to teleport your data through walls, they can’t penetrate through walls hence the WiGig devices are intelligent enough to use the low-frequency bands when a user moves away from the device. But the 60 GHz waves do have the guts to reflect from walls and ceilings using the beam forming powers built right into WiGig devices.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">WiGig uses the 60 GHz spectrum to provide speeds up to 7 Gbits/s, came into existence with an aim to create an environment, where all the devices will be connected to each other all the time ready to share the data at a blink of an eye.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>SP's: </b>Simon Morris has invented a light bulb that combines magnetic levitation with the power transmission- ‘Flyte’.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Remember how back in our childhood, we used to be fascinated by anything that could fly or levitate in the air? Almost seemed like magic, didn’t it?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Perhaps, it is for this reason, that a scientist Simon Morris, has finally turned his childhood dream into a reality after years of research. His new invention – Flyte levitating light bulb – combines magnetic levitation with power transmission.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Inside the wooden base, is a wireless power transmitter and another electromagnet. The bulb has a lifetime of 22 years based on six hours use a day- or 11 years at 12 hours per day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here’s how it works:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Inside the wooden base is a wireless power transmitter and another electromagnet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Placing the bulb on the base and releasing it slowly will see it rise and settle into position.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Also, you can charge your phone by placing it over the base.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Morris always felt the necessity to bring the much needed change to the concept of bulbs , which hasn’t been altered over the past 135 years. ‘Flyte’ is currently being funded in Kickstarter for early pledges of $239. Although Morris has truly revolutionized the concept of bulbs, but when it comes to affordability, Flyte still lacks behind. One could buy approximately 50 Phillip’s low cost bulbs for that money</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When it comes to light globes, this sure isn’t cheap. Although the high cost can question the practical application and popularity of ‘Flyte’ but then aren’t all of us still charmed by the magic of levitating ?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">Margaret Hamilton with the source-code of Apollo Guidance Computer in 1969</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">SP's: </b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Margaret Hamilton was the software genius of her times who made the smooth landing of the historic Apollo 11 on the Moon possible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The whole world knows of Neil Armstrong and his famous small step and a giant leap on July 20, 1969 when United States’ Apollo 11 landed on Moon. It was a historic moment for the mankind, a journey of 384,400 km that has today been protracted over 7.5 billion kms to Pluto.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But, the journey was not a fairy-tale as most people would know it. Years of hard work, failures and spirited team effort brought this dream to reality. As Neil Armstrong put his feet on behalf of all the mankind on the Moon, the world was ecstatic, and so was Margaret Hamilton, the woman whose code took the man to the Moon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Margaret was the integral member of the part of the MIT team that was entrusted by NASA with the on-board flight software. This was the first time when the relatively new and abstract concept of software and codes were trusted with something so risky and real-time critical task.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As she recalls, just before the landing, the computer was cluttered with the erroneous signals and superfluous information sent by the radar and alarms went off indicating overloading. The software that Margaret and her team developed helped the computer to prioritize the tasks and avoided it from getting into a recovery mode. Had the software not been there, the computer would have gone berserk and history, well, not as we know today!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Margaret is hailed as the computer science pioneer and she was the woman who coined the term “software engineering”. Needless to say, most of the people reading this article would thank her for their employment. 1950-60s was a time when software stream was just evolving and was not given due respect compared to other fields of engineering.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Margaret tells in an interview to the Medium that she is surprised that even after all the achievements by the women in all spheres of lives and profession they still face biases and prejudices.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Parisa Tabriz is one such outstanding lady who has been employed by Google to protect its empire from black-hats. Parisa goes by the name- “Security Princess” proving women are equally good if not better than men.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Margaret had worked in all the Apollo manned missions and few unmanned ones as well. Naming her famous works, she has also worked on Skylab on-board flight software and preliminary software requirements for the Space Shuttle flight software.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">NASA felicitated her with Exceptional Space Act Award for her contributions in the Apollo missions. She was also the founder of Hamilton Technologies Inc. in 1986 which provides services to modernize the planning and helps the software engineers with their problem-solving approach though the USL (Universal Systems Language).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">All in all, she was an amazing woman who worked for the evolution of our technology and is an inspiration to all the women in the contemporary times.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>Hannah Herbst devised a brilliant generator that harvests oceanic energy to generate clean electricity, that could further be used to provide clean water in developing countries. She won America’s Top young Scientist award and a sum of $25,000.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The situation is worsening and someone has to do something about it. If the most brilliant scientists on the planet had their brains stifled, then the kids have to step up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hannah Herbst, a 15-year-old from Boca Raton, Florida has developed a unique method to harvest energy from oceanic currents to generate power and drinking water for the developing countries. She designed an energy probe from a 3D-printed propeller which is connected by a  pulley inside a plastic PVC pipe to a hydroelectric generator.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The device produces electricity by converting the mechanical energy from the ocean currents. Testing her indigenous device in the Boca Raton Intracoastal Waterway (on the incoming currents of Atlantic Ocean), she was able to light a set of LED lights.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The total cost of this setup was just $12 and as per Hannah’s calculations, if the model is scaled up it could harvest enough energy to charge three car batteries in one hour. The device is specifically targeted for the developing countries she says, as the energy is sufficient to power salt desalination pumps to produce fresh water.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Hannah-Herbst won-America's-Top-young-Scientist" height="438" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Hannah-Herbst-won-Americas-Top-young-Scientist.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For this achievement, Herbst, a 9th grader, was awarded $25,000 and the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” at 3M Innovation Center in St. Paul, Minnesota.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now, that was the best project, but her competitors were equally brilliant as well. Raghav Ganesh who is in 8th grade won the second prize for his machine that could check the physiological and environmental factors which can trigger meltdowns in people with Autism Spectrum Disorder.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Another amazing invention was that of a seventh grader, Amulya Garimella who won the third prize was designing a system that keeps a check on the brainwaves and alerts the user whenever he/she is distracted ( I could use that one).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The fourth prize went to Iris Gupta, another seventh grader who devised a technique to prevent allergic reactions by blocking the allergens through nano-particles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, isn’t this amazing that the kids nowadays are actually working for the social cause and inspiring hundreds after them unlike few grown-ups in power? Tell us your views in the comments below.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><img alt="AI-robot-artificial-intelligence-human" height="361" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/AI-robot-artificial-intelligence-human.png" width="640" /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>Artificial Intelligence is exploding on the scene today. What would be its impacts on the future of professions? Could we be seeing a new crop of doctors, lawyers, and architects?</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The popular notion that machines are better off doing mechanized work and humans will always triumph the intellectual arena could be in a process of taking a serious hit in near future. Thanks to the rapid advancement in Artificial Intelligence, the machines today are not just the pile driving and hammering skeletons of metal but have crept in almost all spheres of human life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, machines taking over is still and always be a contentious topic (until we reach a tipping point) but robots showing self-awareness, self-driving vehicles, our regular digital assistants (Siri and Cortana) are a few examples that robots have not just eased humans from the industrial repetition but also from other employment avenues as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Richard Susskind, UK government advisor along with his son Daniel Susskind, a lecturer at Oxford University have authored an upcoming book The Future of the Professions: How Technology Will Transform the Work of Human Experts. In the book, they have drawn a conclusion based on economic and sociological theory after interviewing hundreds of people that Artificial Intelligence will dramatically transform the middle-class working landscape.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now, if that is anything near to the truth, then it could be as worse as an AI coup. Since the machines are now able to grasp chess and become a grandmaster in just 72 hours, the general wondering that how soon they will enter into the operation theaters, courtrooms, or become a consulting architect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Susskinds believe that only the best and the most skilled professionals in all fields will survive this replacement tide. And as it has always been, Darwin will again come into account in this battle of species.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The doubts that, “will robots be able to perform such intricate tasks which require phenomenal cognizance, perception, intellect and of course, ethical integrity” will definitely be on the minds of people. No one would mind robots fighting for their country on the battlefront, but everyone would be skeptical of a machine operating on them, or trusting a robot to win their case. Worse, how would you make a robot understand what style of house you want.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Only if a robot could read our minds, right? But listen to this, AI is now capable of prognosticating. So you won’t have to guide them much with instructions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now as for their capability, machines could get the information and gain all the knowledge pertaining to a subject in a matter of time (much less than it takes for a human to become an expert). The robot could study and infer from all the case studies, learn all the operative methods and do it with precision as well, and build exquisite designs for you (it would even know if the ground you have chosen is safe or not and design according to that!!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Susskinds mentions that humans have long been the “gatekeepers” of the knowledge and not everyone has been benefitted by this fact. The selectivity in disseminating the information hurts a major strata of people. So, robots coming into the picture might be welcomed. No doubt, it would raise concerns over employment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The progress in AI development will only gain momentum in coming years. Since we have significant information on the subject, what do you think should be the human strategy for the future?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

How an Engineer Built His Own Thor’s Hammer That Only He Can Lift

Shivam Patsariya 0 Creative, Reviews, Science 12:25 PM

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><img height="340" loading="lazy" src="http://33.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m72756aRIH1rsy50k.gif" width="640" /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>An electrical engineer has utilised his great DIY skills to device his very own version of Thor’s hammer. Read ahead to know how he made it and watch the video.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you remember that scene from the latest Avengers: Age of Ultron where all superheroes are trying to lift Thor’s hammer? You must be aware of the fact that the Thor’s hammer, also known as Mjolnir, can only be lifted by the ones worthy of its power. As a result, everybody gives a try and fails.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Later, Tony Stark offers a witty explanation that the handle of the hammer is imprinted with Thor’s fingerprints. Along the similar lines, did you ever imagine the possibility of Thor’s hammer in real life?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, an electrical engineer Allen Pan has decided to replicate Thor’s hammer to make his very own Mjolnir. He runs a popular YouTube channel Sufficiently Advanced on YouTube.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To make his hammer immovable, he made use of strong magnets. Inside the head of his Thor’s hammer, he housed a microwave oven transformer electromagent. This uses electricity to create a very strong magnetic field, so strong that when placed on a metal surface, the hammer is too heavy to lift.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="thor-hammer-2" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/thor-hammer-2.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On the handle, there is a capacitive touch sensor that is connected to an Arduino Pro Mini and a solid state relay. These components act as a switching device and as soon as someone touches the handle, the electromagnets are turned on. As a result, the strong magnetic field is generated that sticks the hammer to the metallic surface.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To make it more badass, Allen made an arrangement to turn off the electromagnet via a fingerprint sensor. When he touches the sensor with his thumb, the field switches off and he’s able to life the hammer just like Thor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In an amusing video below, Allen took his innovative DIY to the Venice Beach, California and challenged the people to lift the hammer. What happens next, watch in this video below:</span></div>

Crazy Amazon Deal: Indian Man Got Brick Instead of OnePlus One

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>SP's: </b>Amazon India, in its first ever reported incident, sent a man a brick instead of a Rs. 22K OnePlus One. Apparently, the package was violated in the middle of the delivery process.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, this would definitely go into the great book of trolls. So, the story is, a man from India ordered a OnePlus One from Amazon. He was eagerly waiting for his sleek brand new smartphone which he would show-off to his friends. Finally, it arrived, 30 hours late (doesn’t matter, the new phone arrived at least). So, the guy opened the neat packing in excitement and bam… he got a piece of brick inside.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Many of us prefer shopping online nowadays, but it happens, rarely though, that you get an unpleasant surprise like this guy did. Maninder Walia, the victim in this obnoxious incident posted his ordeal on Facebook and also commented on Amazon India’s Page.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can see the interesting conversation between Maninder and Amazon on<a href="http://www.gadgetgyaan.com/gadgets/man-orders-oneplus-one-amazon-india-sends-brick-3578/" target="_blank"> gadgetgyaan</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The packaging was tampered and the phone was probably stolen. Amazon has not yet resolved the issue and its customer care had asked Maninder to have patience. Well, you pay Rs. 22K for a phone and you get a brick plus preaching of patience. Nice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Such incidents have occurred in the past, but this is the first known case with Amazon India. There were instances when people were shocked as they opened up the packaging to find notepads or well, bricks instead of iPhone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The OnePlus One is an Android smartphone by the Chinese OnePlus startup. It has a 5.5″ display with 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution, Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection and powered by Snapdragon 801 processor. The new Snapdragon 801 processors are also being used by Qualcomm for their drones. OnePlus One has a 13 MP rear camera with autofocus and dual LED flash and a 5MP front camera.</span></div>
