5 Profiles of the Hybrid Race Car

Cars with hybrid technology is not just present in the streets, but has been used to compete in the race world. Remarkably hybrid cars were able to demonstrate a fierce performance by becoming the first champion 24-hour endurance race at Le Mans, France, some time ago.

Not just one, but three hybrid race car technology and able to master the classical race and won as the first to third. They beat the cars with conventional fuel technologies for the fastest to the finish line. Automobile manufacturers in the last two years are very serious about developing hybrid technology for the competition. Until 2012, there were five manufacturers who have introduced their hybrid cars, which are:

1. Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro

This is the world's first hybrid car that won the Le Mans 24 hour event. Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro driven gasoline engine and electric motor. With very sophisticated hybrid technology because it uses kinetic energy to charge the battery that powers an electric motor.

Working process of this technology is to store the braking energy as electricity in batteries.

The electric motor is used for moving the front wheels, while the V6 TDI diesel engine is channeled to the rear wheels. The result is a combination of power that reaches more than 600 horsepower. Due to the weight of the hybrid technology is quite heavy so the car body is made of carbon fiber, and so does the transmission.

2. Toyota TS030 Hybrid

Cars made by Japanese manufacturers is a strong competitor of Audi in the event of the Le Mans 24 Hours. Toyota TS030 Hybrid won the second and third in that arena. The design and technology developed by Toyota Racing headquarters Toyota Motor GmBH. in Cologne, Germany.

TS030 Hybrid uses Toyota's Hybrid technology-Racing System is designed to generate maximum power.

This racing car engine relies on a capacity of 4-3 liter V8 gasoline and electric motors with electrical energy storage capacitor Nisshinbo innovation results.

3. Peugeot 908 HY

PSA Peugeot Citroen sport division to develop a 908 HY race car for competition. The technology relies on three main parts, namely the electric motor power 60 kw which combined with conventional combustion engine.

One other component is the energy converter that is placed on the back of the front right wing. This tool controls the flow of battery power supplied to the electric motor.

Peugeot 908 HY can be steered by using only the electric motor, combustion engine, or a combination of both. Electric power obtained from the lithium ion battery 600. The battery itself is on average takes 20-30 seconds to be recharged.

4. Honda CR-Z Hybrid

Honda CR-Z purposely developed the Hybrid to enliven the exhibition race alternative-powered cars at Le Mans France. Honda CR-Z racing at class named Le Mans Vers Le Futur or Le Mans for the future.

Honda CR-Z hybrid racing version of the engine bearing the 1,500 cc 4-cylinder turbo-charger devices are added so that its power increased to 200 horsepower.

Celebrity NBA Star, Michael Jordan's Son Arrested Outside Nebraska Hotel

Marcus Jordon, the son of Michael Jordon has been arrested in Omaha, Nebraska. We cannot expect children of celebrities whom had previous troubled marriages to be able to cope in life. However, if he would invite God into His life, He can take away the stress in his life. Cops allegedly claim Jordon was intoxicated when they arrived, so obviously he is very troubled. This news is very sad, after realizing his parents have been allegedly divorced for some time now (2006). Just recently, his father remarried to another woman, 16 years younger, according to Newser.

We pray for Marcus Jordon and that he totally surrenders his life to Jesus Christ. Our prayers are with he and his family.

Aimee Copeland leaving hospital for rehab: Her Story Teaches Us to Have Faith In God, No Matter The Trial

Although, this young woman, Aimee Copeland lost most of her limbs, God still proved his love for her. From this story, we learn that God loves us and will spare our lives, according to our faith. As a child of God, you have to have faith, no matter what struggles you endure. Now, Aimee Copeland may have lost her limbs, but her faith in God brought her out. Although, prayers from her family was necessary in order for God to intervene, God still recognized Copeland yet had to have faith in Him and not give up herself. When we visited a blog set up for Aimee Copeland, we noticed God was reverenced in various articles and so, she is definitely a child of God.

We have a lot to learn from Aimee Copeland's trial, now that she is leaving the hospital for rehab and we feel God wants us to learn how to not only trust Him, but to also pray for people we do not know. There are many other patients suffering in the hospital right now and they have lost faith for God to heal them, possibly because they are a sinner, maybe they are a backslider or know God, but because of their family's lack of faith, they just do not trust God. As children of God, we must love those we do not know, just as though they are related to us. We must learn how to have faith for people whom doctors have given up on and never stop praying for their full recovery, because God is a healer. No matter how bad the diagnosis or the previous life they may have lived, God is very fair and love those whom may not even believe in Him. Maybe they once believed in God, but because of their sickness, they do not think He will heal them. This is why God expects for us to have faith for them to be healed and when doing so, we should make very sure they have totally surrendered their lives to Christ. Fortunately, our dear sister, Aimee Copeland is a child of God and this is why God proved Himself. We need to use her testimony to encourage others whom are in a very bad situation in their lives.

We will continue to pray for Aimee Copeland as she is being transferred to rehab. We also pray for her family as she makes her full recovery.

Menemukan Radar Untuk Mendeteksi Pesawat

ROBERT WATSON-WATT (1892-1973)

Robert Watson-Watt lahir pada tanggal 13 April 1892 di Brechin, Skotlandia. Watson-Watt masih keturunan James Watt, seorang insinyur terkenal dan penemu mesin uap. Setelah menempuh pendidikan di Damacre Primary School dan Brechin High School, Watson-Watt melanjutkan kuliah di University College, Dundee (sekarang bernama University of Dundee). Dia lulus dengan gelar BSc (bachelor of science) di bidang teknik pada 1912.

Pada 1915, Watson-Watt berprofesi sebagai ahli meteorologi di Royal Aircraft Factory di Farnborough. Di tempat tersebut dia mengaplikasikan pengetahuan radio yang sudah dimiliki sebelumnya dan ide menggunakan radio untuk mendeteksi badai guntur.

Riset pertama Watson-Watt adalah menggunakan radio gelombang pendek untuk mendeteksi lokasi badai guntur. Petir menimbulkan sinyal radio ketika berionisasi di udara, dan dia berencana mendeteksi sinyal ini sehingga didapatkan informasi yang berguna bagi para pilot pesawat akan bahaya badai guntur yang mendekati pesawat.

Riset pertama Watson-Watt berjalan sukses. Alat buatannya dapat bekerja mendeteksi sinyal dalam jarak lebih jauh. Namun, muncul dua masalah yang harus diatasi. Masalah pertama adalah penentuan lokasi sinyal dan juga arah badai. Masalah ini kemudian diatasi dengan menggunakan antena terarah yang dapat diatur secara manual untuk memaksimalkan dan meminimalkan sinyal, sehingga lokasi badai dapat ditentukan. Ketika permasalahan tersebut diatasi, muncul satu masalah lainnya, yaitu sinyal yang terlihat cepat menghilang. Masalah kedua ini diatasi dengan menggunakan sebuah osiloskop sinar katoda yarig mengandung fosfor ketahanan lama.

Pada 1934, Kementerian Angkatan Udara Inggris membentuk komite yang dipimpin oleh Sir Henry Tizard untuk meningkatkan pertahanan udara Britania. Selama Perang Dunia I, Jerman menggunakan Zeppelin sebagai pengebom wilayah London dan kota-kota lainnya. Hal tersebut membuat pertahanan Britania harus berjuang keras. Sejak saat itu kemampuan pesawat tempur Britania terus-menerus ditingkatkan untuk menghadang serangan musuh dari udara. Namun dengan keterbatasan waktu menjelajah, sebuah pesawat tempur memerlukan kemampuan ekstra untuk tetap mengudara. Oleh karena itu, solusi yang masuk akal harus segera muncul.

Pada 12 Februari 1935, Watson-Watt mengirim laporan rahasia tentang pengajuan suatu sistem berjudul "Detection and Location of Aircraft by Radio Methods" ("Mendeteksi dan Menentukan Lokasi Pesawat dengan Menggunakan Metode Radio") kepada Kementerian Angkatan Udara Inggris. Konsep yang diajukan Watson-Watt tersebut jelas potensinya untuk pertahanan udara. Metode radio yang digunakan untuk mendeteksi dan menentukan lokasi pesawat di udara adalah hasil pengembangan dari sistem pendeteksi badai guntur yang telah dibuat sebelumnya oleh Watson-Watt. Dia menamai metode pendeteksian pesawat tersebut range and direction finding (RDF), yang kemudian metode tersebut menjadi lebih dikenal dengan nama radio detection and ranging (radar).

Radar berarti mendeteksi keberadaan, letak, dan arah gerak benda-benda seperti pesawat dan kapal di kejauhan melalui kemampuan benda tersebut untuk memantulkan seberkas radiasi elektromagnetik dengan panjang gelombang beberapa sentimeter. Radar terdiri dari pemancar yang menghasilkan radiasi frekuensi radio, yang dipancarkan pada antena yang dapat dipindah-pindahkan. Bila berkas radiasi yang dipancarkan terganggu oleh suatu benda padat seperti pesawat, sebagian energi radiasi akan dipantulkan kembali ke antena. Sinyal yang diterima antena diteruskan ke bagian penerima. Di bagian penerima inilah sinyal tersebut diperkuat sehingga lokasi pesawat terdeteksi. Gema dari pantulan benda padat ditunjukkan oleh kenaikan mendadak pada keluaran (output) detektor yang tampak di layar osiloskop.

Setelah mendapat laporan dari Watson-Watt tentang potensi radar untuk mendeteksi dan menentukan lokasi pesawat, Kementerian Angkatan Udara Inggris merespons melalui pertanyaan tentang demonstrasi yang membuktikan bahwa gelombang-gelombang radio dapat dipantulkan oleh pesawat. Bukti tersebut segera ditampilkan melalui demonstrasi sekaligus uji coba pada 26 Februari 1935 dengan menggunakan dua antena penerima yang ditempatkan pada jarak sekitar sepuluh kilometer dari salah satu stasiun siaran gelombang pendek milik BBC di Daventry. Demonstrasi tersebut sukses. Pada beberapa kejadian, sinyal tampak jelas dari pesawat pengebom Handley Page Heyford yang terbang di sekitar tempat uji coba. Sebagai pengakuan atas keberhasilan tersebut, pada 2 April 1935 Watson-Watt menerima hak paten peranti radio untuk mendeteksi dan menentukan lokasi sebuah pesawat.

Robert Watson-Watt meninggal pada 5 Desember 1973 di Inverness, Skotlandia. Atas kontribusinya mengembangkan perangkat radar untuk pertahanan udara Britania Raya, Watson-Watt mendapat banyak penghargaan dari pemerintah Inggris. Selain itu, pemerintah Amerika Serikat juga memberi penghargaan kepada Watson-Watt atas jasanya membantu membangun sistem radar untuk pertahanan di wilayah udara Pearl Harbor ketika Perang Dunia II.*** [GUN GUN GUNAWAN | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 21062012]

Toothpicks, Worldwide Items

Before the toothbrush was invented, people used to clean his teeth with a wooden tooth cleaners are hard or soft. Toothpicks made of bronze have been found among the items buried in the tombs of pre-history in northern Italy and in the Eastern Alps.

In the 17th century, toothpick considered the equivalent of a luxury jewelery, because it is made of precious metals adorned with precious stones. Until now no one has claimed to be the inventor of a toothpick. So, who owns a smart idea to mass-produce a toothpick?

Charles Forster, a man born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, 1826. In his teens, he worked with his uncle who runs a business of export / import in Brazil.

At that time he saw most of the teeth look neat native Brazil. He found a reason that makes teeth Brazil neat people, namely the use of wooden toothpicks are made manually. From there, came the idea of making wooden toothpick making machine. Forster then embrace Benjamin Franklin Sturtevant,whose own passion was making shoes by machine. At the time, most shoes were put together with wooden pegs, and the weak link in the operation was supplying pegs of uniform quality. This led Sturtevant to concentrate on producing long strips of knife-edged veneer from which pegs could be sliced off. Forster saw that toothpicks could be made in much the same way.

And by 1870, his operation was capable of producing millions of toothpicks per day. But he could not find a market for them in Boston. Forster offers homemade toothpick to restaurant owners and to ensure that a toothpick could be part of a service that can attract consumers. At the same time, he hired some people to eat at the restaurant.

After eating, the person who hired it shall ask the owner of the restaurant toothpicks. In this way, the restaurant owner into believing that a toothpick is a service that should be given to consumers. From this and the restaurant owners to buy Forster toothpick.

From then on the toothpick to be part of the consumer lifestyle restaurants. Toothpicks also extends to many countries in the world and has become popular to this day. *** [SEPTI | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 21062012]
