Wireless Energy Transmission:  DIY Homemade Mini Tesla Coil #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #Creativity #Electronics

In this video we learn how to make your own a very simple Tesla Coil at home using 3/4" PVC Pipe, 26 awg Magnet Wire, 2N2222A Transister, 29k Resistor and On/Off Switch. You can easily make this Tesla Coil at home.

This device was invented by Nikola Tesla and is a great demonstration experiment. I hope you will make it without any problems after watching this video.

In my channel "science & technology experiments" where you will learn how to make hand made crafts, presents, toys etc. The main thing is that one can make it at home and with one's own hands.
You are interested in handiwork, craft or you just have nothing to do, You have found the channel you really need. Here you can find lots of crafts, hand made items, and the main thing is that they all made of make-shifts and at the lowest cost!

Despite the stiff competition, pint-sized Luxembourg was the big winner among the international competitors, winning first prize in the international participants category this week. 


European school student Niccolo Hurst was able to convince the judges with his force measuring helmet. 


The 16-year-old has developed a prototype helmet, which measures the force of impact in case of an accident. This is aimed at helping doctors treating patients with head injuries by providing more information about the circumstances of the accident.

Scientists Discover Evidence of a New Type of Matter: the Tetraquark

Scientists Discover Evidence of a New Type of Matter: the Tetraquark | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
The recent identification of a long-theorized particle is strong evidence of a new form of matter: the Tetraquark.


With the existence of tetraquarks, it is possible for neutrons within the core to interact strongly enough to create tetraquarks. This could even lead to the production of pentaquarks and hexaquarks, or even that quarks could interact individually without being bound into color neutral particles. This would produce a hypothetical object known as a quark star.

Blue Man to Blue School | ARCADE | Dialogue on Design | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Innovation does not happen in a vacuum. It typically requires people who have extraordinary skills, knowledge of the rules of diverse disciplines and an added desire to integrate and break those rules.



It is from this rule-breaking, “trickster” energy that I believe true innovation grows.


Dr. Siegel hit the nail on the head. I don’t just believe that the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math – STEAM – is a good thing—I believe that it is absolutely essential for creating the innovation required to change the trajectory of our world toward a sustainable and harmonious future in the limited timeframe we have in which to work.

Space Shuttle-Say Goodbye with a Smile

Space Shuttle-Say Goodbye with a Smile | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Abschied vom Space Shuttle

 

Die Space Shuttles waren ein höchst ehrgeiziges Projekt: Sie sollten wieder verwendbar sein, ganze Gruppen von Menschen und grosse Nutzlasten ins All bringen und jeweils bis zu 100 Mal zum Einsatz kommen. Es war eine Kombination von Frachtraumschiff, Weltraum-Kleinbus und Forschungslabor, wie es sie zuvor noch nie gegeben hatte.

 

Bei der Entwicklung redeten viele mit, von der Wirtschaft bis zum Militär – zu viele. Das Shuttle wurde die komplexeste Maschine, die Menschen je gebaut haben, unglaublich vielseitig, aber auch hochsensibel, fehleranfällig und teuer. Die Kompromisse, die man aus Kostengründen bei der Entwicklung gemacht hatte, rächten sich in den Folgejahren mit steigendem Wartungsaufwand und kostspieligen Nachbesserungen. Zwei tragische Unglücke, bei denen 14 Astronauten ums Leben kamen, zeigten, wie schwer es war, Flüge mit dieser ‚Wundermaschine’ einigermaßen sicher zu machen.

Chemists develop a nanopaste to repair bone defects

Researchers have developed a nanoparticle paste which can be injected into the defect and results in improved healing. The trick: the researchers have combined synthetic calcium phosphate with DNA.
Gust MEES's insight:

The UDE researchers expect that the paste will have a long-lasting effect since the nanoparticles are released successively and thus continuously stimulate the surrounding cells. They have demonstrated that the paste works in three different cell types. Further tests now have to be conducted. Epple and his co-researchers hope that “our development will be used several years from now in the field of traumatology and in the treatment of osteoporosis.”

To innovate, scientists and engineers find inspiration in the arts | SmartPlanet | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

In the innovation field, a rebirth of Renaissance thinking is brewing. Scientists and engineers are engaging with the arts to think creatively.

 

The idea is also currently reflected in the debates on re-vamping the U.S. educational system to boost the innovation skills of U.S. students. Media artist John Maeda, president of the Rhode Island School of Design, has spoken at numerous events — including before Congress — about the value of incorporating the arts to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) educational initiatives, turning STEM to “STEAM,” as Maeda has said.
