i want to have kids that is your business and i really couldn't change your mind even if i wanted to but there are people all over the internet who are just swimming in their own self-satisfaction like pigs in slop because they are part of the no kids trend the sickening part about this trend or should i see mentality is that these people glow in the door themselves for being too selfish to give their time and money to a child oh i'm the center of the universe and i'm proud of it. this is an extremely antisocial and destructive mentality to adore yourself for contributing nothing to anyone else nothing to society and nothing to the future but wait let me put it this way if your life is shopping wearing ironic t. shirts starbucks and texting on your i phone about your stupid feelings that maybe is for the greater good the church childfree but that's just my opinion.
4:30 pm
hello and welcome to technology all bates on today's show we learn how to be sally brown i'd like a hot knife through butter. 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. one tank diamonds a price the pulled over for their astounding physical properties and things that six 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
4:31 pm
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 trunk full of not the tone 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 labs 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 and narcotics detectives produced here using airports train stations as well as by the russian. security services one of their latest developments is this mobile detector for use in the field the device can identify the chemical makeup of any objects located in anything from
4:32 pm
a cardboard box filled to thirty centimeters of solid concrete all of which is thanks to the compact neutral 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 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 tag beams 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 with a neutron generator alpha detector tritium targets and gamma detector the device works by emitting two tron particles when that you try 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
4:33 pm
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 gamma rays is unique for 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 gets to texas which don't work the subjects the laser grid on the phones to detect it corresponds with a neutron themes allowing the user to target the objects computer ten processes the information received by the detector and identifies any potentially hazardous materials on their location. in addition to the whole body text 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 do. texas 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
4:34 pm
who better to foot the bill than russian 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 request of the scientists settle face wreathed 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 primate 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 upscaled so
4:35 pm
it can pick up the rocks containing larger diamonds on the conveyor before they destroyed. the future because all is for babies with 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 international new mines. will be focusing on the largest size segment five carrots and above you're going to wish. now the theory of using this technology has been proven. scott says the practical side of implementing it on an industrial scale. neutron technologies 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
4:36 pm
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 over brawn. the liquid gold that makes the world go round with altitudes we're going to slow and pain 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 them so oil companies need to drill that can make short work of anything that gets in its way there are currently three main types of drill bits the tripe which is made up of three spikes role is the fixed which often has
4:37 pm
diamond edges and which by scraping away 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 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 institute 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 the office many advantages over traditional drilling methods. the. vantage of the high voltage electrical impulse method is that we used to bore bits made of ordinary steel while and yet the model we don't use any alloy great or
4:38 pm
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 them it's a powerful spot which troubles through the rock bottom like a micro explosion causing it to break away the deputies then carry 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 the super bowl not the field with the. norwegian companies like oil the tunnel construction from. you know drill from the university of trondheim have supported our work in developing this new technology
4:39 pm
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 you if. our device is of great interest to total engineers and of course great interest to oil companies whose possible would be the potential of mechanical drilling methods to feed either with diamond heads or with load of bits has been almost fully exhausted. after morton and this is why every company is now looking for a new method. no 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 fragments produced so in general the bigger the better however if the bones become too lodged the system may
4:40 pm
have trouble removing them from the hole by controlling the energy produced by the generator the distance between the electrodes and frequency of the electric pulse is the ultimate speed 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 ha so don't reach the remote see you after the break and. it was a. very hard to take. once again there was a life that never had sex with her hair cut.
4:41 pm
just a. quick . look. at. more news today is once again flared up. these are the images cold world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations around the day.
4:42 pm
4:43 pm
welcome but before we look ahead to the future of technology let's take a quick buck. bytes the radio telescope in the region has been overhauled as part of the project sixty four me to telescope will study black holes such the elusive dark matter and keeping coincides with the exo mars probe on its way to about planets thanks so much as a joint mission between the european space agency and the search for martian life doesn't 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 lesser known firms to the opportunity to demonstrate the latest developments to the ministry of defense defense minister sergei sure 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
4:44 pm
university's exoskeleton which allows soldiers to carry one. the event was such a success that the ministry plans to hold it every six months. at the beginning of the month. cope with a. string this winter olympics next year. with conditioning and facilities for disabled passengers. 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. 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 the. safety most important.
4:45 pm
is the still room for improvement. second when. she was 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 witnessed this take a hard landing. second thoughts. 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. institutes
4:46 pm
contacts 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 as well a little longer 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 terrains here but the and they'll have to have time to maneuver so that they can land safely and it was a partnership is 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 subliterate these in the till conditions are 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 parsis 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 touch our sheep produced by the russian
4:47 pm
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 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. gives you an idea the 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 vents in the top of intimate and 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
4:48 pm
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 the even heavier capacity better maneuverability and improve safety when landing in very strong winds. the only requirement was to keep the same size and weight of shoot a few minute will be here. almost a good body of water. it is 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 in the. war with. the ship 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 using the latest in computer design and modeling
4:49 pm
technologies in addition to the least the institute has made over five thousand different partially types one thousand of which are ventured into mass production they range from anti spinning cargo sheets to low altitude invest you power shoots some of them have an area of up to three hundred seventy five meters squared and you carry up to twenty tons. been ironed out 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 shoes can be more compact enjoyable than ever in addition we use new materials in parachute construction and i suppose but in the past it's parachutes were made for nylon fabric no we use more modern materials so all this has enabled us to reach our goals of the city. with this knowledge we return to the. field in moscow unsolved
4:50 pm
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 parts you constituents and arrows and 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 but luckily one was in company as a not 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 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 house it's drivers but they're also a burden on the government's budget so the need to find
4:51 pm
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 river ice 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 you. had bunks in recycling technology mean that their own more and more large
4:52 pm
scale uses for old tires. this type of processing plants in 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. 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. which specializes in producing a super fine but for use in both construction 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
4:53 pm
room for improvement and this is where unicom stands out from the rest. unicom which transfer 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 power to react is determined by the area of the powder in contact with the bitumen you are poor if you. do the work despite being very fine the more tired from lax the surface area completely with the pitchmen always still improves the road surface the full potential of rubber 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 sets me to square. however none of this will
4:54 pm
be possible when. for the work of the team nikolski of the simula institute of chemical physics in moscow the team discovered even to his own surprise it is certain temperatures broken 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 mix for making short mixed asphalt concrete with and put the required amount of tire powder in it you take him over to this method helps a few 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 full day which is what is required excessive amounts of energy and time to cause the pitchmen itself to deteriorate it's no wonder then that other countries are trying to follow suit with around fifty peyton
4:55 pm
somebody machine it might take them a while to catch up. known for to despite our best efforts the machine apart into 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 don't shoot its highs effect 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 tire part is then 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 studying the process is the nuclear weapons but one
4:56 pm
thousand nine hundred fifty eight especially switching that turned their attention to chemical reactions in creating new synthetic materials but am 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 machines. we started using these powders very successful. but because of the positive properties you feel boys. will feel the materials if you will modify the tire of a. very stable. structure doesn't change time little fool people so like you know they can be used is decades if you will never properties would remain tracting unchangeable. and the benefits don't end there it's also offers better groups of vehicles reduce noise levels as was increased resistance to
4:57 pm
rotting in cracking in addition to all the safety and economic benefits it also provides the perfect solution to the world. growing tired disposal problem for these workers that just 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. creasing throughout the world i'm sure more of you will enjoy the ride. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like sleep you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm charged welcome to the big picture.
