not going to talk of the next g. eight summit what is he just going to have to hide behind merkel the whole time and hope it works out or duck behind the shrimp cocktail whatever here's a russian accent one could argue that to appease republicans he had to do something to look strong after the stone debacle but this grandstanding just comes across as silly passing something like a new jackson verda commandment yeah that is how you could shows people that you're really mad even if your anger is irrational because stone pretty much did the right thing but that's just my opinion. hello and welcome to technology bates on today's show we learn how it's cool to be sally brown i'd like to hold my feet. i would design classic still has room for

improvements. on how to recycle tires and improve roads in one fell swoop. but first we're all familiar with the lengthy security procedures that we recently found out that the technology that keeps us all safe can also be used to put a smile on a girl's face. or check diamonds a price the pulled over for their astounding physical properties and things that takes there also it kills best friend also the song goes no months away you're the queen of england with the crown jewels or you prefer something more subtle one thing is true the launch of the diamond the rarities and the more it's worth thus why bush and diamond producer struck up an online partnership with a complete specializing in explosive detectives neutron technologies is located a two hour drive and allegedly bike right outside of moscow in the trunk full town of. the town doesn't look much like a scientific old what's appearances can be deceiving we've come to the joint institute for the. clear research institute currently unites eighteen countries in
11:31 am
a seven labs carrying out pioneering research in particle physics. and this is where the magic happens hidden away behind these radiation proof doors lies a hive of innovation and the home of neutron technologies which was founded in part by the nuclear research institute the explosive or narcotics detectors produced here are used in airports train stations as well as by the russian security services one of the latest developments is this mo body text for use in the field the device can identify the chemical makeup of any objects located in anything from a cardboard box so to thirty cents in meters of solid concrete all of which is thanks to the compact neutral emitted inside. this is the heart of our unit the neutron accelerator was it's only thirty centimeters tall and weighs only eight kilograms which is a dramatic reduction compared to last centuries accelerators which were six stories tall yet it generates the same number of neutrons fifty million
11:32 am
a second and on top of that it has a built in alpha detector. which allows us to track the tag. see how much progress has been made thanks to the research and development of the past fifty years before me but not. the main components of the device or the neutron generator alpha detector tritium targets and gamma detector the device works by emitting two tron particles when the future one hits the tritium could be misplaced into alpha neutron particles the neutrons penetrate the objects in question while the alpha detector is responsible for determining the location of any dangerous substances the neutrons excited nuclei of the atoms they hit causing them to give off gamma rays which are then to detect the energy of the camera it is unique to each element which allows the substance to be determined based on its elemental composition this method offers many advantages over x. rays which can misidentify system and gas attacks which don't. receive objects to
11:33 am
laser great on the front of the detector corresponds with a neutron themes allowing you to target the object computer ten processes the information received by the detector and identifies any potentially hazardous materials on their location. in addition to the mobile detector the company has designed a device for inspecting vehicles another for shipping containers and an underwater device for examining unexploded torpedoes and mines all of the detectors can identifiable to thirty types of explosives and be operated at a safe distance while a computer program takes care of the number crunching to get to the bottom of the matter that's way over two hundred thousand dollars the devices don't come cheap so who better to foot the bill than russian diamond joints rosa which is having problems of its own them but this unit has been set up to see whether we can detect a large valuable diamond within a lump of kimberlite without having to crush off. if there was a large diameter of the or was ground down first the way it usually is the
11:34 am
shattered diamond loses a lot of its value so if we were able to detect a large valuable diamonds in the old war it would offer a really good return on investment since such large diamonds are quite rare very lucrative. following the request of the scientists sets of a streak to see if their technology could be applied to the diamond industry then sent fifty kilograms of kimberlite rock samples which is the best source of crimea diamonds for the company to try out its detection system after hours of testing neutron technologies finally struck gold story diamond the next step is for the detect to be upscaled so it can pick up the rocks containing larger diamonds on the conveyor before the destroyed. this video because all those four bodies we can work with we did indeed find diamonds inside the door and we're planning to continue testing this method next year and then to make improvements to the detecting device in cooperation with neutron. technologies. we're planning to use this method for
11:35 am
the detection of large diamonds in the kimberlite extracted from the mir and internet. will be focusing on the largest size segment five carrots and above. the theory of using this technology has been proven out scott says the practical side of implementing it on an industrial scale neutron technologist can reduce the time it takes to detect diamonds i'm sure the companies will have a bright future together not only will it lead to increased profits and open up a whole new market for neutron technologies but also puts a smile in the face of many. is a place of wonder and beauty rolling hills in los forests and as you just seen there are many treasures hidden out of reach but you don't always need explosives to get them. brains overbroad. the liquid gold that makes the world go round without it we would grind to
11:36 am
a slow and painful fortunately oil supply on depleted quite yet but the bad news is that easily extractable sources all running out so we demand for oil higher than ever engineers have been forced to look for new ways to get to the black store and keep the world spinning on its axis oil and gas deposits can be located on to anything from less of something clay to solid rocks like granites and boss ault so i'll companies need a drill that can make short work of anything that gets in its way there are currently three main types of drill bits the tricorn drill which is made up of three spites roll is the fixed cutter which often has diamond edges and works by scraping away at the rock below and the turbo job which spins much faster than the other and requires less downward force unfortunately diamonds on forever and all the drill bits wear out and have to be replaced which can be both costly and time consuming this combined with the increasingly complex nature of drilling means that traditional methods are being pushed to the limits. the institutes of high.
11:37 am
technology physics in thomas has a laboratory that specializes in pa lasting through solid rock with high powered electrical sparks the first experiments were conducted way back in the sixty's when the theory if using electrical pulses to drill through blocks was tested the results were impressive but the technology the time did not allow for the idea to take and put that now the university has a prototype device the office many advantages over traditional training methods over took over and we looked through the advantage of the high voltage electrical impulse method is that we use the bore bits made of ordinary steel while and yet the model we don't use any alloy great or diamond or wood at the hour spark a discharge method makes these very expensive materials redundant. and this is how it works a generator produces electricity which is then stored in the capacitors and fed through the drill the drill bit itself has one electrode in the sense that surrounded by in a rate above the electrodes when they come into contact with the ball the potential
11:38 am
difference between inflates a powerful spot which troubles through the rock bottom like a micro explosion causing bits to break away the dead piece then carried by to the surface with a liquid form the size of the points can be controlled by adjusting the distance between the electrodes the drills ability to make short work of solid blocks even short attention from is a role not the fear of the. norwegian companies like oil the tunnel construction firm. you know drill from the university of trondheim have supported our work in developing this new technology akin to what we have supplied them with a submersible high voltage impulse generator with which to drill an experimental well in granite rock so that we can investigate the potential of this technology in the field you know will it be. devices of great interest to total engineers. and of
11:39 am
course the great interest to oil companies would be the potential of mechanical drilling methods to feed either with diamond heads or with rotor bits has been almost fully exhausted. morton and this is why every company is now looking for a new method nor a new technology to ensure a fast boring speed especially through hard rocks like granite even the commute. the drilling speed is determined by the size of the truck was produced so in general the bigger the better however if the phones become too large the system may have trouble removing them from the whole by controlling the energy produced by the generator the distance between the electrodes and frequency of the electric pulses the ultimate speed can be achieved so who knows if more major oil plays see the benefits of this technology we may soon have the bright spots in times to thank for keeping the world in motion. just the end of the first half so don't reach the

remote see you after the break. there's a media lead us so we leave the people. by the sea bush and secure the. party years ago. for shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from. politicking only on our t.v. . i'll pull over my language as well but i will only react to situations as i have read the reports so unless you know please the no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point of the month to say it is secure a car is on the docket. no more weasel words

when you need a direct question be prepared for a chase when you have to punch be ready for a battle freedom of speech and a little bit on the freedom to cross. wealthy british style. markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy with. raw no holds barred look at the global financial headlines two kinds a report. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so silly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought. i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.
11:42 am
before we look ahead to the future of technology let's take a quick buck. bites the radio telescope in the region hold us part of the project sixty for me to telescope will study black holes such the elusive i'm keeping coincides with. the planets thanks so much as a joint mission between the european space agency and. president the russian ministry

of defense held an innovation day on the twenty eighth of all just. over one thousand applications were made. to get one of the two hundred sixty stuns available at the exhibition to take university students and representatives from lesson. developments to the. gave his seal of approval to the military fatigues which will be shortly one of the highlights was the moscow state university. just one hundred kilograms with ease. to hold it every six months. at the beginning of the month. cope with a. string the winter olympics next year. with conditioning and facilities for disabled passengers. means that the average ticket will be twenty two percent cheaper. two thousand and thirteen
11:44 am
competition held in san diego idea of the competition is for competitors to design and. capable of fulfilling specific. competitors from all around the world with a three thousand dollar price. time while all this prefer something just a little bit more extreme the parachute isn't designed with safety being of what most important. is the still room for improvement. second when. she was in. the military. and even used to help the curiosity rover on mars.
11:45 am
although i would describe myself as a fan of extreme sports i have always wanted to try parachuting. take a hard landing i started to have second thoughts. back to the drawing board for the parachute. institute. signed him to moscow founded in one thousand nine hundred forty six the institute is part of aviation written holding which is the main development for to ship partially to russia it is one of only a few companies in the world that carries out the full range of partially development. institutes conducts research development and production as well as ground and flight sets of all these partially systems the base era jumping ship shot we were lucky enough to catch one of the research institute partially test its . little ones of course here on the airfield we have all the right conditions of flat surface and things like that in reality those soldiers have to land on various different terrain here but that and they'll have to have time to maneuver so that
11:46 am
they can lend safely and it was up wasn't surprising in the ability to maneuver people and the horizontal speed of a parachute are of paramount importance for descending and of course especially for landing as any of these in the top come dishes that partially just have to jump in not to mention all the equipment they carry i mean it's a special approach has to be taken when designing partially for use by the military today the design institute was testing one of its latest developments the deets well beastie the twelve is the latest time our ship produced by the russian airborne troops the least he could still be subject to precarious testing but is expected to enter into service by the end of the year it's capable of carrying up to one hundred sixty kilograms at the speed of four point five new to the second the spare parts should be stored in the body leaving room for the touch will have been contained in the front which helped take some of the weight off when landing we went back to moscow to learn about the evolution and benefits of this part of. the boat gives you an idea of the evolution of the parachute design over the
11:47 am
decades they have been used in the army. is the six developed in the soviet union in the mid seventy's. basically featured a circular canopy where. steering valves and a top ventimiglia apex. that is the shape of a hemisphere in profile thanks to the courts. but with the new developments in the aviation industry and the increased need for massive air drops we had to invent a new design and we could deal with midair collision is better between parachute and that's how the detainee shoot. one of the industry continue to push book even heavier capacity better maneuverability and improve safety when landing in very strong winds i believe. the only requirement was to keep the same size and weight of shoot a few minute will be here. it is
11:48 am
a. detail first proven to be the perfect solution thanks to its unique design of the canopy shape and the fact that it's this angle that pushes the chute forward even though it will begin with a. little bit if the tests prove to be successful this new model will replace the previous generation of parachute will be fewer of them you know with. the institute uses the latest in computer design and modeling technologies in addition to the least the institute has made over five thousand different partially types one thousand of which are vented into mass production they range from anti spinning cargo sheets to low altitude invest you power suits some of them have an air of up to three hundred seventy five meters squared and you carry up to twenty tons. in doubt the computer design is then sent to this factory to be turned into reality. in addition to this production facility the institute also has researched
11:49 am
engineering and technology schools over generations the institute has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and expertise which allows it to create such a diverse range of parachutes advances in materials mean how shoes can be more compact enjoyable but have a. in addition we use new materials in parachute construction but in the post it's kind of shoots were made from nylon fabric no we use more modern materials so all this has enabled us to reach our goals as a city. armed with this knowledge we returned to the airfield in moscow a jumps up to twenty times a week and his goal of tracking down to a t. he can do it in around ten minutes when he's not being distracted by technology all day presents my experience of the parts you constituents and there are. restored my faith in the safety of the sport and who knows maybe next time i'll be joining these guys in the not too distant future. of four million cars in moscow alone which not only has a negative impact on the capsule's roads but also produces huge amounts of waste
11:50 am
tires every year but luckily one was and company has a knack for killing two birds with one stone. on something the line. push is scorching summers and bitterly cold winters take a heavy toll on the country's broke days along with the millions of cars in each piece that pound the surface every day i mean the road repairs and replacements are a constant struggle not only to potholes and trucks represent drivers but they're also a burden on the government's budget so the need to find a type of road service full of better withstanding the daily because of moscow's traffic and weather is pretty clear that's why scientists have been experimented with different ways of modifying both services and testing them with this mobile lab one of the most promising technologies involves mixing old tires into the else fold mixture. the practice of using rubberized asphalt was pioneered in arizona in the mid one nine hundred sixty s. with limited success while the road surface offered a number of advantages over previous technologies the relatively large chunks of
11:51 am
rubber and gravel used were prone to coming loose and damaging cars so the project was abundant in one nine hundred eighty nine. it all started with old non-recyclable car tires go by leaving them all around the place people do harm to the environment. the problem is you can't burn these ties put them in landfill sites traditionally this kind of waste has been used in construction road building so. recycling technology mean that there are more and more large scale uses for all tires this type of processing putting check of is responsible for recycling some of the estimated one hundred twenty five thousand tons of worn out tires discarded by the capitol every year all ties of first shredded and then the fiber and steel components are separated and sent for further processing the remaining were is think ground down to produce tire chrome which can then be used to produce even more ty is create safe playground services as well as a whole range of other applications one of the biggest consumers of type from
11:52 am
however if you recall which specializes in producing a super fine but how to use unbroken struction unique part of nano technology company bust nano this lobbying podolski is way unique and carries out much of its road surface research here the stuff child various combinations and ratios of materials to trying to attain the ideal road surface in general roads are made up of gravel and sun although pitchman has been successfully used in roads for almost two centuries there is still room for improvement and this is where unicom stands out from the rest. unicom which stands for universal compazine materials produces a fine powder the beats anything else in the markets hands down would be some would say you can take any rubber powder. but that's not true so what you need to make it work is a physical and chemical reaction between the big human and whatever powder you have in your cruise and what is the extent to which the powder reacts is determined by
11:53 am
the area of the powder in contact with the bitumen you were poor shoe. laces be the one despite being very fine the more tired from lax the surface area to be are completely with the pitchmen all the. still improves the road surface the full potential the rubble has not been a lot the cauliflower like surface of the nano part of produced by unicom means that just one gram of it has a surface area of up to five thousand centimeter squared. however none of this would be possible were it not for the work of the team nikolski of the simeon of the institute of chemical physics in moscow the team discovered even to his own surprise it is certain temperatures proper and plastics substances can be ground down to a very fine powder which led to the development of this machine we're the only ones in the world to use the dry method that we take the mixer for making faulty mixed asphalt concrete with and put the required
11:54 am
amount of tire powder in it you take him over to this method saves amounts of time. before the invention of the shear in juice grinding machine builders had to use the so-called wet method of adding the rubber to the pitchman this involved heating the mixture for all day which is what is required excessive amounts of energy and time to cause the pitchman itself to deteriorate it's no wonder then that other countries are trying to follow suit which with around fifty peyton somebody machine it might take them a while. known forty despite our best efforts when the machine parts to the studio show you exactly how it works. and here it is. now the only main difference in the industrial version the prototype is the size the principle is exactly the same thirty funnels at either end and archimedes screen compression zone and cooling section the old shredded ties
11:55 am
a fed into this funnel the screw them pushes them towards the stopper as more and more bits of tire build up the pressure increases the friction creates a cause attempted to rise to about one hundred seventy five degrees c. at which point the tie begins disintegrates and see through the tiny gap between the two sections the fine cooled and comes out the front of the end and bob's your uncle that size ready to hit the roads the institute in moscow was originally created for starting the process is the nuclear weapons but one thousand nine hundred fifty eight the specialist working that turned their attention to chemical reactions in creating new synthetic materials but the same study the properties of these materials and developed instruments for examining the structure the prototype for producing the nano powder was created in one thousand nine hundred eighty one and laid the foundation for today's industrial machines that we started using these powders very successful. because of the positive properties you
11:56 am
feel boys. will feel the materials if you will modify the tire of like you did a very stable. structure doesn't change time little fool people so like you know they can be used for years decades think you never properties would remain tracting unchangeable. and the benefits don't tend there it's also offers better groups of vehicles reduce noise levels as well as increased resistance to rotting in cracking in addition to all the safety and economic benefits it also provides the perfect solution to the world's growing tide disposal problem but i bet these workers are just glad that they won't have to do this section of road again for another couple of decades i'm afraid that's all for today but with using creasing throughout the world i'm sure more of you will enjoy the ride.
