hello and welcome to technology or bates on today's show we learn how to cook the sollie brown i'd like hot my food water. our 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 where 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. and check diamonds a price the pulled over for their astounding physical properties and dozen things that ticks there also it kills best friend also the song goes no matter where you are the queen of england with her crown jewels or you prefer something more subtle one thing is true the larger the diamond the rarer it is and the more it's worth that's why bush and diamond producer struck up an online partnership with

a company specializing in explosive detectors neutron technologies is located a two hour drive and allegedly fired right outside of moscow in the tranquil town of not the town doesn't look much like a scientific poll but appearances can be deceiving we've come to the joint institute for nuclear research institute currently unites eighteen countries and seven laps carrying out pioneering research in particle physics. and this is where the much of coppens 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 narcotics to take this 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 filled to thirty centimeters of solid concrete all of which is thanks to the cause. i'm quite neutral i'm 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 centuries accelerator which was 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 tag being served 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 off as many advantages over x. rays which can misidentify system and just the tests which don't work for subjects the laser great on the phone to detect it corresponds with a neutron themes allowing the user to target the object computer ten process is 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 then brushed. diamond joints 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 die that 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 requests from the scientists settle face rick 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 times 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 upscale so you can pick up the rocks containing larger diamonds on the conveyor before the

destroyed. distributors always forbid you speaking what 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 when you are 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 wish. the theory of using this technology has been proven. says the practical side of implementing it on an industrial scale if neutron technologist can reduce the time it takes to take 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 on the face of many a girl. the earth is

a place of wondering do you see this rolling hills and lush forests and as you've just seen there are many treasures hidden out of reach but you don't always need explosives to get them. brains over brawn oil the liquid gold that makes the world go round with altitudes we're going to slow and pain holds fortunately oil supplies are 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 lays of something clay to solid rocks like granites the boss ult so all companies need a drill that can make short work of anything that gets in its way there are currently three main types of drill bit the tri control which is made up of three spikes role 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 two

and requires less downward force unfortunately diamonds on forever and all the drill bits where else 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 through solid rock with high powered electrical sparks the first experiments were conducted way back in the sixty's when the theory of using electrical pulses to drill through books was tested results were impressive but the technology the time did not allow for the idea to take in perth now the university has a prototype device to off as many advantages over traditional drilling methods. and with the advantage of the high voltage electrical impulse method. we used made of ordinary steel while. we don't use any alloy grade or diamond 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 passages and fed to 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 difference between inflates a powerful spot which travels through the rock bottom like a micro explosion causing it to break away the dead piece 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 short attention from this overall not a few of the. norwegian companies like oil the total construction firm. you know a 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 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 that lead 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. no new technology will route you want to ensure a fast boring speed especially through hard rocks like granite even the commute what all the drilling speed is determined by the size of the fragments produced so in general the bigger the better however if the bones become too large the phone 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 more major oil plays see the benefits of this technology we may soon have the bright spots in toms 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. right on the scene. first for you and i think you're. on our reporters twitter. and instagram. to be in the know. on mom.

but he sees things that sighted people don't notice. these damn. things most people never to think call him disabled but he's the world's first deaf and blind dr of science. professor i think rather similar of. the great life lived against the odds. the pledge it was terrible to say the i'm very hard to make out a little i'm sick and long here is a club that never had sex with others make their lives let's call it was. just some.

of the i'm just saying let's just say. it's.

region. joint mission between the european space agency and. the russian ministry of defense held an innovation. of the two hundred sixty. university students and. the opportunity to demonstrate their latest developments to the. seal of approval to the redesigned military fatigues which will be shortly one of the highlights was the moscow state university. one hundred kilograms with ease the event was such a success that the ministry plans to hold it every six months. to train carriages

at the beginning of the month. with conditioning and facilities for disabled passengers. 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 in all to me to sabrin capable of fulfilling specific. competitors from all around the world walk home with a three thousand dollar prize some of us like to go for a stroll in the pockets of the cinnamon os bad time while all this professor just a little bit more extreme the parachute is a design classic with safety being a vote most important. to still room for improvement. second wind. team headed down. to the south of moscow to find.

the modern power she was invented at the end of the eighteenth century in france now it can be found in all its various incarnations in the military spatial tolls and even used to help the curiosity rover. get journalling junkies looking to get their fix although i won't describe myself as a fan of extreme sports i have always wanted to try parachuting was having witnessed this unlucky car she's take a hard landing i started to have second thoughts so it looks like it's back to the drawing board for the partial of the scientific research institute of design from moscow founded in one thousand nine hundred forty six the institute is part of aviation week in 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 parts you develop. the institute's. development and production as well as ground and flight sets of all these power systems the base era job if we were lucky enough to cut to one of

the research institutes karshi testers. and of course here on the field we have all the right conditions flat 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 lead safely. belittling maneuver people and the horizontal speed of a parachute the paramount importance for descending and of course especially for lent. so conditions are partially tough to jump in not to mention all the equipment they carry minutes a special approach has to be taken when designing parachutes 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 hardship produced by the russian airborne troops the lease to 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 touchable a big container of 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 six model developed in the soviet union in the mid seventy's. basically featured a circular canopy with steering belts and the top of it to me in a pack. because 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 collisions better between parachute. 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 mean. the only requirement was to keep the same size and weight of the chute. will be here. it is a. d. twelve has 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 in the. war with. the ship if the tests prove to be successful this new model will replace the previous generation of marriage 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 parts she types one thousand of which are ventured into mass production they range from anti

spinning cargo chutes to low altitude invest you power shoots some of them have an area of up to three hundred seventy five meters squared and can carry up to twenty tons. 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 that power issues can be more complex enjoyable than ever in addition we use new materials in parachute construction but in the past this is our chutes were made from nylon fabric no we use more modern materials so all this has enabled us to reach our goals of the city armed with this knowledge we return to the airfield in moscow i'm told it 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

they present my experience of the partially things to jews and arabs but 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 tires every year are likely one russian company has a knack for killing two birds with one stone. on something a lot. push a scorching summers and bitterly cold winters take a. heavy toll on the country's road base along with the millions of cars and h 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 thousand nine hundred 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 if they can traditionally this kind of waste has been used in construction or road building so we would do. in recycling technology mean that their own 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 old size 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 tie is create safe take on services as well as a whole range of other applications one of the biggest consumers of type from however is unicom which specializes in producing a super fine but how to use unbroken struction uni combi sponsored nano technology company boss nano this lobbying podolski is way unique and carries out much space. wrote surface research here is 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 bitterman 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. 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 power to react is determined by 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 completely with the pitchmen always still improves the road surface the full potential the rubber has not been a lot the cauliflower like surface of the nano part of produced by means that just one gram of it has a surface area of up to five thousand said to me to sweat. however none of this would be possible were it not for the work of the team nikolski at the same 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 with the only ones in the world to use the dry method if you take the mix for making mixed asphalt concrete. and put the required amount of tire powder in it you know this method helps a few mounts of time for. the invention of the shear in juice grinding machine builders had to use the so-called method of adding the robot to the pitchman this involved heating the mixture full day which is what is required excessive amounts of energy and time to cause the bitch to deteriorate it's no wonder then that other countries are trying to follow suit what's with around fifty peyton somebody machine it might take them a while. known for to despite our best efforts machina parts.

of the studio show you exactly how it works. and here it is. now the only main difference to an industrial version the prototype is the size the principle is exactly the same two finals at either end and archimedes screen compression zone and cooling section the old short its highs are fed into this funnel the screw them pushes them towards the stock but as more and more versatile 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 find a part of cooled and comes up from the end and bob's your uncle that size ready to hit the roads the institute in moscow was originally created for studying the processes that occur in nuclear weapons but in one nine hundred fifty eight the specialist working there turned their attention to chemical reactions in creating new synthetic materials the team studied the properties of these materials and developed instruments for examining the structure the prototype for producing the

nano powder was created in one nine hundred eighty one and laid the foundation for today's industrial machines. we started using these powders very successfully. but because of the positive properties you feel boys. will feel the materials if you modify the tire of what you do you are very stable. structure doesn't change time little tool. so like you know they can be used is decades in their properties would remain tracked unchangeable. and the benefits don't end there it's also offers better groups of vehicles reduce noise levels as well as increased resistance to writing in cracking in addition to all the safety and economic benefits it also provides the perfect solution to the world. growing tired disposal problem these were 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. recently throughout the world i'm sure more of you will enjoy the ride. ok. dave a croc it welcome to ten year oliver jane it's a little while and a little of the chesapeake bay and of virginia. and i come back out a. ramp a year all in the chesapeake bay probably one of the best areas in the phone call fred. this is all that your ten year island before the channel was cut oh here. they are. as you go all. right here are some of the headstones from the graves that for here this is

a fruits that's that's what we don't want happen to tangier all and we want to get some protection and make sure that we don't go into the chesapeake bay like uppers did in other communities.

i almost told you my language as well but i will only react to situations as i haven't read the reports first so i'm likely to please you know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point of the month to say it is secure yet a car is on the docket. no more weasel words when you need a direct question be prepared for a change when you throw a punch be ready for a bad. freedom of speech and
