Posted by Len Rosen in category: innovation
In the US growing building sector carbon emissions a threat to 2050 net-zero goal.
U.S. economywide greenhouse gas emissions fell 12% from 2005 to 2019, but direct emissions from the building sector were higher, according to an Information Technology and Innovation Foundation report this week.

We Have Ignition: Remarkable Breakthrough in Nuclear Fusion Represents a New Physics Milestone
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: innovation, physics
For the first time, scientists have confirmed a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion involving the first successful instance of ignition, the point at which a nuclear fusion reaction becomes self-sustaining.
The achievement, results for which have been published in three peer-reviewed papers, occurred at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL) National Ignition Facility on August 8, 2021.
Nuclear fusion involves a reaction where at least two atomic nuclei possessing a low atomic number fuse together, forming heavier atomic nuclei. During such a reaction, differences between the masses of the reactants and products result from the difference in energy that binds atomic nuclei before and after the reaction occurs. This difference will either cause the absorption or the release of energy.

Aircraft detection before radar, 1917–1940
Posted by Omuterema Akhahenda in categories: innovation, transportation
Acoustic location was used from mid-WW1 to the early years of WW2 for the passive detection of aircraft by picking up the noise of the engines.
Passive acoustic location involves the detection of sound or vibration created by the object being detected, which is then analyzed to determine the location of the object in question.

This Wild Personal Aircraft Goes 155 Miles Per Hour and Does Flips on Command
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in categories: innovation, transportation
Its creator Franky Zapata thinks so, as do the thousands of people who are likely signing up to test drive the JetRacer.
The French inventor and adrenaline junkie is no newbie when it comes to daredevil stunts—or wild inventions. A world champion jet skier several times over, his first invention was the Flyboard, a sort of jetpack/hoverboard combo powered by gas turbines. Next came the Flyboard Air, a similar device powered by jet turbines. Three years ago Zapata crossed the English Channel on a Flyboard Air; the journey took just 22 minutes, with a stop halfway to refuel.
