wealthy british scientists on some time. market. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's conjure for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kinds a report. hello

and welcome to technology updates on today's show. the silly one i'd like to call my fifth. 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 to airports or 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. 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 i know months away you'll 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 on the mall it's thus why bush and diamond produce aisle rossa struck up an online partnership with a. nice fresh allies in an explosive detectives neutron technologies is located

a two hour drive and allegedly fired right outside of moscow in the tranquil town of. the town doesn't look much like a scientific field but appearances can be deceiving we've come to the joint institute for nuclear research institute currently unites eighteen countries in a seven labs carrying out pioneering research in particle physics. and this is where the magic happens hidden away behind these radiation proof doors 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 centimeters of solid concrete all of which is thanks to the compact neutral and it's 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 century accelerators which were six stories tall yet it generates the same number of neutrons fifty million a second and on top of that it has a built in alpha detector. which allows us to track the time being see how much progress has been made thanks to the research and development of the past fifty years before the new 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 the beam is split into alpha neutron particles the neutrons penetrate the objects in question while the alpha detector is responsible for determining the location of any stranger substances the neutrons excited nuclei of the atoms they hit causing them to give off gamma rays. then to try to detect since the energy of the camera is unique to

each elements 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 gets to texas which don't work pursuit of objects the laser great on the front of the detector corresponds with a neutron themes allowing you to target the object computed ten crosses 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 he better to foot the bill than russian time and joins all rosa which is having problems of its own them but this unit has been set up to see whether we can detect

a large diamond within a lump of kimberlite without having to crush them if there was a large diameter of the oil was ground down first the way it usually is the shattered diamond loses a lot of its value so if we were able to detect a large valuable diamonds in the or it would offer a really good return on investment since such large diamonds are quite rare very lucrative. following the request of the scientists at a base rate 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 priming timings for the company to try out its detection system after hours of testing neutron technology is finally struck gold story diamond the next step is for the detective to be upscale so he can pick up the rocks containing larger diamonds on the conveyor before the destroyed. these bridges. 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 the detection of large diamonds in the kimberlite extracted from the mirror and internet. will be focusing on the largest size segment five carrots and above. the theory of using this technology has been proven. 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 of the earth is a place of wonder and beauty in this 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 oil from the liquid gold that makes the world go round without it we are going to a slow and painful holds fortunately oil supplies are on depleted quite yet but the bad news is that easily extractable sources are running out so we demand for oil higher than ever engineers have been forced to look for new ways to get the black stuff and keep the world spinning on its axis oil and gas deposits can be located on to anything from lays of something clay to solid rocks like granites them 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 tri control which is made up of three spikes role it's 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 two and requires less down with force. unfortunately diamonds on forever and

all the trilobites 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 technology physics in thomas has a laboratory that specializes in pole 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 the box was tested results were impressive put the technology the time did not allow for the idea to take in perth that now the university has a prototype device the office many advantages over traditional training methods over soko would and will look 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 getting our spark or 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 that's the drill the drill bit itself has one electrode in the sensor surrounded by in a rate above the electrodes when they come into contact with the ball the potential difference between them it's a powerful spot which troubles through the rock bottom like a micro explosion causing bits to break away the dead trees then carried back to the surface of the 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 joint attention from this a role that the field with the. norwegian companies like oil the total construction firm. you know drill from the university of trondheim have supported our work in developing this new technology akin to what we would have supplied them with a submersible high voltage. generator with which to drill an experimental well in

granite rock so that we can investigate the potential of this technology in the field in the world if they. are devices of great interest to total engineers and of course great interest to oil companies is possible would be the potential of mechanical drilling methods if he did either with diamond heads or with load of bits has been almost fully exhausted wizzard fuel for morton and this is why every company is now looking for a new method nor a new technology nor rick you will want to ensure a fast boring speed especially through hard rocks like granite even the canapes what all the drilling speed is determined by the size of the fragments produced so in general the bigger the better however if the points 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 tom's 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. more news today is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations are all day.

a pleasure to have you with us today.

before we look ahead to the future technology. the radio telescope in the region has been overhauled as part of the project sixty four me to. such feel. i'm keeping contact with the. planet thanks so much as a joint mission between the european space agency and. the russian ministry of defense held an innovation day in moscow on the twenty eighth of august. 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. the opportunity to demonstrate their latest developments to the. defense minister who also publicly gave his seal of approval to the redesigned military fatigues

which will come into service shortly one of the highlights was the moscow state university's skeleton which allows soldiers to carry one hundred kilograms with ease. it was such a success that the ministry plans to hold it every six months. just at the beginning of the month. cope with the. winter olympics next year. with conditioning and facilities for disabled passengers increased capacity means that the ticket will be twenty two percent cheaper. two thousand and thirteen competition held in san diego idea of the competition is for competitors to design and build. capable of fulfilling specific. competitors from all around the world with a three thousand dollars price. while all this prefer something just a little bit more extreme. with safety most important.

to still room for improvement. in the military. and even used to help the curiosity rover. although i won't describe myself as a fan of extreme sports i have always wanted to try parachuting was having witnessed this take a hard landing. to the drawing board for the parachute research institute. founded in one thousand nine hundred eighty six the institute is part of aviation. which is the main. part. it is one of only

a few companies in the world the full range of. development. and production as well as ground and flight sets of all these partially systems named this 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 land surface and things like that in reality those soldiers have to land on various different terrain you but them and they'll have to have time to maneuver so that they can lend safely and it was a partnership 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 using your siblings because in the top condition is a partially tough 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 twelve

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 harsh. the boat gives you an idea evolution of the parachute design over the decades they have been used in the army. here's the forty six model developed in the soviet union in the mid seventy's. basically featured a circular canopy with steering vents in the top of it to me. because the shape of a hemisphere in profile thanks to the course. with the new developments in the

aviation industry and the increased need for message bedrocks we had to invent a new design and we could deal with midair collisions. better between parachute and that's how the detainee shoot. one of the industry continue to push for even heavier capacity better maneuverability and improved safety when landing in very strong winds used to be. the only requirement was to keep the same size and weight to shoot a few minute in a three beautiful ball will be here. it is a. detail first proven to be the perfect solution of thanks to its unique design of the canopy shape and the fact that it's this angle that pushes the chute forward even if it will begin with a. little bit if the tests prove to be successful with 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 is made of a five thousand different partially types one thousand of which are vented into mass production they range from anti spinning cargo chutes to low altitude invest you power chutes 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 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 ships can be more compact enjoyable but never in addition we use new materials in parachute construction and i suppose in the past it's parachutes were made from nylon fabric and the wood no we use more modern materials so all this has enabled us to reach

our goals on the city. with this knowledge we return to the airfield in moscow. 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 partially institute and they're all right cool now i have 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. to 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 tires every year but luckily one was in company as a not for killing two birds with one stone. on something the line. pushes scorching summers and bitterly cold winters take a heavy toll on the country's broke days along with the millions of cars and each t.v.'s that pound the surface every day i mean the road repairs and replacements are a constant struggle not only to potholes and trucks represent a hazard to drivers but they're also

a burden on the government's budget so the need to find the type of road service cake 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 tire rubber into the alsop mixture. the practice of using rubberized asphalt was pioneered in arizona in the mid one nine hundred sixty s. with limited success while the rubberized road service offered a number of advantages over previous technologies the relatively large chunks of rubber and gravel used were prone to coming loose and damaging cars so the project was abundant in one nine hundred eighty nine. it always starts 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 all road building so

. recycling technology mean that there are more and more large scale uses for all tires this type of processing plants in check. is responsible for recycling some of the estimated one hundred twenty five thousand tons of worn out tires discarded by the capitol every year. and then the five steel components are separated and sent for further processing the remaining robot is think ground down to produce tire chrome which can then be used to produce even more tie is create safe playground services as well as a whole range of other applications one of the biggest consumers of type unicom which specializes in producing a super fine but for use in broken struction unicom be sponsored nano technology company bus nano podolski is where you can carries out much peace 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. 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 we 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 and what is the extent to which the powder reacts is determined by the area of the powder in contact with the bitumen you were poor if you. do the work despite being very fine the more tired from lax the surface area completely with the pitchman still improves the road surface the full potential has not been a lot the color flow 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 sets me to square. however none of this would be possible were it not for the work of. this. institute of chemical physics in moscow the team discovered even to his own surprise it's certain temperatures proper and plastic 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 mix for making mixed asphalt concrete with. put the required amount of tire powder in it you know this method. amounts of time. before the invention of the share in juice grinding machine builders had to use the so-called wet method of adding the robot to the pitchman this involved heating the mixture for all day which is what is required excessive amounts of energy in time to cause the bitch many cells to deteriorate it's no wonder then

that other countries are trying to follow suit which with around fifty eight and somebody machine it might take them a while. known forty despite our best efforts machine apart into 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 or two finals at either end and archimedes screen compression zone and cooling section the old shredded ties are fed into this funnel the screw then pushes them towards the stock but 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 to disintegrate and seep through the tiny gap between the two sections the fine part is then cooled and comes out the front and bob's your uncle is ready to hit the roads the institute in moscow was originally created

for starting the process is the nuclear weapons but in one nine hundred fifty eight the specialists working there turned their attention to chemical. actions in creating new synthetic materials but the name studied 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 machine made did you feel that we started using these powders very successfully. but almost because of the positive properties you feel boys. camp will be feeding the materials you know if you modify the tire i feel like you did a very stable. case that structure doesn't change time little fool people at the moment so like you know if they can be used is decades think you never properties would remain practically unchanged. and the benefits don't end 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 the rise asphalt been using creasing throughout the world i'm sure more of you will enjoy the ride. wealthy british style. writers. market. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy
