solar augusta was held on the most school rigged on a sunny day at the end of july in the competition nine teams from bush in unison one from monaco rode away from the solar powered boats in a race to the finish as well as demonstrating the capabilities of today's solar tech events aims most valuable comes on education and the business opportunities that come with. monaco's team synergy with the winner of its class in the two thousand and fourteen solar one once a cargo cult with his sleep has been hijacked boils to look the favorites when the moscow regatta as well. as the race was organized by graduates from the skolkovo moscow school of management under the supervision of you guinea cousin of the slick soul of boats which was made in europe for bush's synergy sailing team was on site after his victory in monaco but the potential of solar vessels has implications everywhere such was the thinking behind the solar one championship which brought
6:32 pm
together teams from china usa and brazil it's monaco's prestigious yacht club here in moscow the founders of the solar. so wanted to follow in their wake. we tried different competition formats and in the end came to the conclusion that this is indeed something that engineering students. it's good for us education and research it's very important for them to take part in projects like this because it helps to expand their practical knowledge. i'm sure this was the last thing on everyone's mind when the green flag flew in a surprising turn of events synergy spoils weren't quite as graceful around the coolness as they've proven to be along the straights and the boats lost precious seconds on each turn this gave as with this classic boat design all the opportunity it needed to close the gap at the sailing neck in neck down the strait synergy was left dead in the water.
6:33 pm
while most people were enjoying the weather swimming role playing volleyball making the most of the sun in a different way we call talk with the team from the state radio technical university while many of the older competitors boats were built purely for speed this team wins for practicality as well this solar boats has room to six people making it's ideal for weekend fishing trips however at the flick of a switch the position of the reef can be adjusted to the casual cruiser into a streamlined race. in this position the center of gravity is lowered and the wind resistance reduced. the boat's turning performance and maximizing its celebration and take it from me the power of the sun is definitely enough to set the wind running for your hat. the solar sail a five point six meters two point one meters wide is propelled by five kilowatts

outboard motor boats up to two lithium pulling a bunch of blocks together weighing one hundred sixty kilograms and the. displacement the solar panels. generates will prevent. mystery treasure batteries in about ten hours on a full charge the boat can burn for up to eight hours it's allegedly seven kilometers an hour or one point five zero it's my speed of twenty five kilometers. the boat was built in only two months in the business incubator at the technical university. before it got anywhere near the open water the team of six current and former students made sure it was seen with the in the improvised. during this stage of testing the team streamlined the vessels weight distribution held at the propeller and of course checks from given the short time frame the team used the soviets for at the base. that. this boat has great performance in seagoing characteristics as well as a low planing speed. but this boat was originally developed for low power petrol

engines. that seem completely overhauled to the rest of the vessel. is made from an alum in frame strength into the extruded film starring including fiberglass fifty batteries are mounted on sliders so the posts can be shifted on the go to suits whether load and race conditions close attention was also paid to electronics to maximize the juice squeezed out of every drop of sunlight and shoulder but she's a charge even with. built this boat for a competition and when the time came for us to take parts of the boat had been fully charged entirely by the sun. the upper solar panel outside while keeping it connected to the controllers. as we money toward the recharging process we saw that there is no need for any sort of external power source. the world class solar panels were supplied locally by one of the team sponsors there is

a metal ceramics instrumentation plans. the production process starts by cleaning visually inspect. glass pane the surface of the glass is slightly rough to chop as much light as possible reflected from the solar cells beneath. the inspections completes the panes that carefully put one side ready to be used in the final assembly later on. the millimeter thin wafers that make up the photovoltaic cells to sold it together into rows before being mounted on the backing sheet. then pass along by clips convey away any flaws cracks in the semi metal cells would shine right through before being sold together in series. to prevent any grind getting into the finished product i think ethylene vinyl acetate film is placed on top. then the whole panel is sealed by what's basically a giant machine. number which. we were very happy to be
6:37 pm
part of this project. we supplied the solar panels for the boat so it could compete and then we got a. project had some unusual requirements due to both waitress directions we had just made a store existing technologies and use a lighter flexible polymer a base to produce to sell in modules more than. the finished panels then roll off the production line and into testing the solar panels the checks by blasting them with an artificial sunlight machine and measuring the amount of electricity that comes out the other end of the firm's products can transform the sun's light into usable electricity with an efficiency of up to seventeen percent despite only launching solar panel production in two thousand and eight the companies where this can be found in forty two countries around the world. has many business promotion centers which are ready to support these projects teams we told to the skolkovo foundation and russian venture company and all these organizations are ready to
6:38 pm
work with our students who already have viable ideas that can be developed into marketable products. meanwhile back in my. still the solar regatta turned into a two horse race with some other thoughts on their son's trail. the nimble trying run through just too fast for the multi-purpose transformer and in a nail biting finish went on to win the race. with more teams expected to participate that promises to be even more drama in next year's events. in the future of environmentally friendly private vehicles public transport has been going green for decades and mrs thomson metro are about to get a facelift. focal point you've got to help the in a prom international industrial exhibition for the fifth time last month events during around six hundred companies from seventy countries and also hosts a number of world premieres. including the world's first sixteen meets

a single section below floor trauma produced by trans mush holding. the city star was assembled in sr on the streets of moscow and is now ready to roll into mass production. but the star of the show has to be the bush one prototype by or all of our bones of all of the futuristic trauma which office on the rivaled comforts promises to take russian public transport into the space age it doesn't just look good on the outside it's also got some pretty cool features inside too. so this demonstration model is exactly how the final concept design will look at the commercial model will have some slight modifications but it will not be changed by more than ten percent in features a unique quite complex door system and the headlights are also unique the lights inside opened with a dimmer mechanism which it's fitted with a two point four kilowatt i quality sound system. were made in russia and designed for russian tracks. they make up forty to sixty percent of the total cost of the
6:40 pm
tram so using these bodies' as well as other russian made components makes this tram about one and a half to two times cheaper than the equivalent for a model him. right is up with. the underground wasn't overlooked either with company urban transport solutions unveiling their metro carriage prototype as well it's both the largest passenger capacity easy access for disabled passengers climate control as well as a fire detection and extinguishing system while the train's modular design makes it easier to repair and service the world's population is expected to meet eighty billion people by two thousand and twenty five and with all those extra miles to feed scientists are looking for ways to maximize the yields of staple crops and the new tech in toms might just hold the key. on something oh my. god ns can trace its roots all the way back to eight hundred eighty one construction work was started in the grounds of the city state university. it's a vigil glass roof and walls has over seven thousand types of tree plants and taxes

from all corners of the globe and cover a bloomin six thousand five hundred square metres the gardens carry out important work protecting some of the world's rarest species and conserving tom's local flora . as well as providing a tranquil escape from the city the botanical gardens has all the elements necessary for science to flourish. for the past four years stuff for the university have been experimenting with the fertilizer called white collar. when i had to soil or directly to fresh tree cuttings the nitrogen based plan through significantly boosts the growth rate in. the researchers also stumbled across an unexpected benefit of using dry color. on glycol improves the growth process and basic right speed in the seeds even germinate more quickly in addition it has been found to disinfect seeds reducing the risk of fungal infection when applied to plant putting
6:42 pm
this guy coral forms a protective biodegradable serum that kills but syria while it's in water in the fertilizer. also bitchin nitrogen which is an essential fun food it's used to make an enormous it's the building blocks of protein and the chlorophyll that plants used to photosynthesize and if that weren't enough glycol will slowly release its nitrogen for a sustained growth. color is based on the versatile organic compound be also made in tomsk by scientists from the city state university up until two thousand and nine only seven countries were capable of synthesising substance however that's all changed when aptly named company glocks ltd sets up industrial production bringing new products to the domestic markets. bilk sells unique ability to link polymers means he's found up occasions in a diverse range of industries is used in oil recovery to make dissolvable surgical stitches disinfectants paper coatings cosmetics and the list goes on the company's
6:43 pm
made by oxidizing ethylene glycol and cancel izing reaction with heat and a lot for silver however the guys it looks out see have developed a catalyst it's unlike anything used elsewhere. the average or the traditional elements used across the world are produced in the u.s. germany and china. they just use large amounts of silver in a sort of sponge to produce. the catalyst element that we have developed has a number of significant advantages firstly it contains only five percent silver and the rest of it basically consists of silica said that with the silver particles are evenly distributed throughout the material to boost its efficiency more one kilogram of this material can produce more than pure silver alone can another advantage is its thermal stability. having cracked the secrets of how to produce. the siberian company sets about manufacturing some of the many products derived from it including by color. the fertilizers made by
6:44 pm
mixing a clearly gridlock cell with white crystals. in the mix. she is then placed in a chemical reaction and catalyzed by an acid mixture that the company is keeping a tight lid on. as it turns out like color really is also pretty versatile the compound and its derivatives can be used in paints chipboard resin cool disinfectant flame retardants and so on. demand on the domestic markets alone expected to reach sixty thousand tonnes a year the company definitely has its work cut out. in the next stage the crowd liquid is then filtered and the visit you dried producing the whites dry color real powder. demand for the whole growing tech might be high but on the plus side one application of the first rise that goes a very long way while the main advantage is that it doesn't easily dissolve in water which means that it stays in the soil for a long time one application may last for several seasons up to two or three so use
6:45 pm
it once and forget about fertilizing for the next three years. with great color rules and long lasting effects farmers may soon be able to worry about things other than fertilizing. and maybe even take some time out for a stroll in the tomsk botanical gardens. just into the first off so stay tuned for more to cope after the break. it. over. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy shred albus. rule. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of
6:46 pm
our government and across systemic we've been a hydrogen lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once told us my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem trucks rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america ready to join the movement then walk a bit like. your friend post a photo from a vacation you can't afford. the difference. the boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still pens tear jerking poetry keep. ignore it. we

post only what really matters at r.t. to your facebook news feed. there's a media leave us so we leave the media privacy motion security all your party visible. where shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on our t.v. . let's take a quick look at tech news before we continue with the rest of the show. bytes. the two thousand and fourteen international also reveal salon opened its doors on

the twenty seventh of august to the crocus expo center during the eleven day event organizers expect to see one million visitors flocking to catch the first glimpse of some of the many world premieres which included the unveiling of the lot of next gen chevrolet neiva prototypes as well as some new cars from dozens of money including mr. ford and v.w. . defense exhibition expert took place in the middle of august in the town of ski in the moscow region while some with the extensive business program most people would join to the exhibitions and demonstration of some of russia's latest defense take including an aerial display by team of. the two thousand and fourteen microsoft in matching code but the beginning of the month and first prize in the games russian team. has. been based development. in
6:49 pm
which players take on the an electric spark green cities. so it's a move that judges the world of the team fifty thousand dollars. everyone knows that's more powerful by the minute allowing you to do things that. a couple of years ago but even so there has to be a limit i mean there's no way you'll be on the power on stories of a desktop in your pocket. or is the. change. anyone who has a mark in his ever wants to run a windows program would have probably heard of parallels but what you might not know is that parallels is one of russia's top i.t. companies since it was founded in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine the company's become an industry leader in blurring the previously in telephone line between the operating systems sex and windows. with over four million copies of powerless desktop from uk sold worldwide the i.t.
6:50 pm
giants recently went mobile. and. we took her ideas and expertise with this technology and transferred them to the mobile sphere to provide remote access to windows and mac operating systems or. mark. parallels access combines the possibility of its help a little smartphone with the power of a desktop so users of the out can access important documents a stream the media why be from the other side of the world without having so bloated to the cloud first drug fragile hard drives around with them. you can also provide remote support to technically challenged older relatives and be in the office while sitting in a jacuzzi. the developers of the company when it's a painstaking lengths to make computer applications look and feel as if they were originally written for a portable device. among the main challenges were providing
6:51 pm
a stable connection when switching between wife eye and slower three g. internet connections. adopting applications intended for a mouse to be used with a relatively imprecise to the screen as well as optimizing the resolution of a computer to be displayed on a small mobile device. the parallels are set up launcher lets users start up the cations as if they were native mobile apps. well the apps which are displays all the programs currently running and allows users to switch between them with a simple swipe. mouse clicks of also being converted into typical such gestures while the magnifying glass helps users select the news simply drop down menus and buttons but the company is particularly proud of its text selection functionality. regarding text and text selection. trading systems provide no access to this feature or its management. is just not provided for in the fold function of an
6:52 pm
operating system we should just work text fields. so we had to get inside windows and mac operating systems to be able to manage it properly. so much about the outputs parallels we were keen to give it a go back as the r.t. office was one of the guys at the company didn't tell us is that's parlous x. is also pretty useful for playing private school jokes on unsuspecting colleagues. the computers in our office can be accessed by pretty much any artsy employee i install the parlous desktop clients and one of them the other day just to test out the program unfortunately our producer you didn't know this when she started the computer and the opportunity to play a practical joke on a was just too good to miss. we had four cameras around the office while you was away and i was in constant touch with our director who told me once one zero.
6:53 pm
right surrogates just give me the go ahead and use the room for a second try connecting to a computer. sign in. the computers my home computer is on his your computer this is it. now we can see. the technology updates so. right let's have some fun. by moving a mouse. nothing too drastic starts off with. someone let's move the mouse or here. it weird i don't understand maybe you should delete the address that she's typing. on. with. the wrong address. that. really has absolutely no idea we can see exactly what she's typing. bit of
6:54 pm
a typo it's me the most the old. punch in why if you've got a mind of your own i didn't type that you know if you tell you cannot what's going on. there's a message for me i should always say. i don't know if you need to write this message your post should close or. near to you look what's happening here it's almost taking control of my mouse so i. look yeah this isn't the first time it's happened. i had a window open and then it just closed by self and then some other stuff pops up that's what the heck's going on well it could be a virus it's been happening all morning so she's going slightly mad just.
6:55 pm
amazing let's get a couple minutes or so she calms down. so non-work related social network can close on our way to second rate second phones godsake come on suspect something maybe. ok i will leave it. i know there's a aleksei in the office this is my computer is acting like it's got a mind of its own seriously it's been moving the cursor by itself and closing messages by itself what's wrong with it it's just taking me to frequently visited sites just with what's going on. book. one. bit worrying because she's not doing anything on the computer now either i should do what. ok ok good oh ok.
6:56 pm
ok maybe i'll fix the problem. wait a sec. i didn't touch anything i was holding my phone with my left hand i says just the i t. guy to come just what we wanted really and. the entire i.t. departments was in on the joke so there was no chance that they'd give the game away. right so the i.t. guy has been and gone. to collect a second time which is cause the parallel screen to display on her computer so unfortunately being blasted. short is there. this computer is being used remotely by parallels who did this. not connect i think we've been rumbled. we're moving toward a situation where we users don't care whether their apps or data are stored on a cloud on a desktop or never will device they just want to have
6:57 pm
a convenient way of working with them. and that's exactly what we're trying to achieve with their parallels. if you. were going to paint or a flower that's even fun golf would be proud of by way of apology remote access ops make us even more connected to the rest of the world which while making our lives easier also presents its own sense of privacy challenges so it's probably best not seen stories on a shared computer but if you do make sure you tick all the rights privacy boxes and you'll be absolutely fine and once you're all set you can kick butt and play your favorite computer game removed. i'm afraid that's all for this month's show but if you can't wait an entire month for the next episode of technology eight. pages on all the major social networks behind the scenes takes outtakes and acclaim since a few shows so next time enjoy the ride.
6:58 pm
i know c.n.n. the m s n b c news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's close and for the truth and might think. it's because one whole attention and the mainstream media work side by side the joke is actually on here. that. i don't or teen years we have a different brain. because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not god. i don't know if.
6:59 pm
you got a sense of the jokes well handled it makes sense that i'm. it's
7:00 pm
a classic. overbite. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioning the constitution. as because a free and open prize is critical to our democracy schreck all those. that i know i'm sorry and on this show we reveal the picture of what's actually going calling the money to go beyond identifying a problem trying to fix a rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing them by ready to join the movement then welcome aboard.
