2018 – Let’s have another link carrousel!

  • I know the english adage: hidden in plain sight” but this build is too much if you ask me…. read the story and it becomes even creepier!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • The Leaning Tower of Lire.
    Michael from Vsauce works together with Adam Savage to find out the secrets behind “the leaning tower of Lire”.
    Wauw, there is NO Wikipedia page on this subject 🙂

Some more info on the subject can be found here.

 

  • Short movie: Sight, contact lenses with augmented reality.

Nicely made, but a bit too much for my tasting.

I do like the Wingman app 🙂

An Energy positive huge Komatsu dumper truck

OK, of course everybody wants to make everything electrical for the he(a)ck of it.
But this project is even better than “just” electrifying a diesel powered dumper truck.

This huge Komatsu HD605-7 dumper truck, used in (open) mining is being transformed for a diesel engine into an electric vehicle.
The battery pack alone is 4,5 tons (8x a tesla model x battery) and it will draw a peek level of 3.000 amps during the 13% steep hills of the Swiss alps where it will be working in a cement factory / mine.

The most interesting thing is that the truck will be energy positive, by recharging itself (and more) during the descent of that hill, but now loaded with tons of material.
