11:29 am
these are financial you know i count words. hello and welcome to technology update coming up on today's show. a facelift. science flourishes in homes. and we have some phone around the office.
11:30 am
with a link to bills creeping up on fossil fuel burning else people are increasingly looking to the sun for the answer to the world's energy problems while the solar revolution might still be a way off so let's have some bones and what better way to show off what you can do that in a race in the center of moscow. second the way. bush's first solar augusta was held on the most cool ridge 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 the bench against most renewables comes on education and the business opportunities that come with. monaco's team synergy was the winner of its class in the two thousand and fourteen solo one to call with the sleep person hydrofoils good luck the favorites win the moscow regatta as well. as the race was organized
11:31 am
by graduates from the skolkovo moscow school of management under the supervision of youth guinea cousin of the slick solo boats which was made in europe for bush's synergy sailing team was on site victory in monaco but the potential of solar vessels has implications everywhere such was the thinking behind the solar one championship which brought together teams from china usa and brazil it's monaco's prestigious yacht club here in moscow the founders of the solar and. 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 need 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 which. i'm sure this was the last thing on everyone's mind when the green flag flew in a surprising turn of events synergies foyle's weren't quite as graceful around the
11:32 am
coolness as they've proven to be along the straights and the boats lost precious seconds on each turn this david has with his classic boat design the opportunity it needed to close the gap at the sailing neck in neck down the strait synergy was left dead in the water. 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 went for practicality as well this solar boats has remained off a six people making it's ideal for a weekend fishing trips however at the flick of a switch the position of the reef can be adjusted sending the casual cruiser into a streamlined race. in this position the center of gravity is lowered and the wind
11:33 am
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 both up to two lithium pulling a bunch of blocks together weighing one hundred sixty kilograms and the. displacement of the solar panels. generates a preventative really. really trust the 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
11:34 am
of testing the team streamlined the vessels weight distribution powered up the propeller and of course checked for given the short time frame the team used the suv it feels best for at the base. that. this boat has great performance going 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 and covered in 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. build this boat for a competition and when the time came for us to take towards the boat had been fully
11:35 am
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 over. 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 and visually inspect the. 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 paines a carefully puts 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 sheets. they then pass along to likely its conveyor where any floor cracks in the semi metal cells would
11:36 am
shine right through before being sold together in series. to prevent any old grind getting into the finished product a thin 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 part of this project. we supplied the solar panels for the boat so it could compete in the regatta. the project had some unusual requirements due to both waitress directions we had just made a store existing technologies and use a lighter flexible polymer base to produce the solar 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
11:37 am
seventeen percent despite only launching solar panel production in two thousand and eight the companies where can be found in forty two countries around the world price 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 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 just some other hot and as on the trail. the nimble trying run through just too fast for the multipurpose 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 event. so the future of environmentally friendly private vehicles public transport has
11:38 am
been going green for decades and this is toms a metro are about to get a facelift. focal point you've got to tell the in a prom international industrial exhibition for the fifth time last month events during around six hundred companies from seventy countries and was host to a number of world premieres. including the world's first sixteen meets a single section below floor trump produced by chung's mush holding. the city star was assembled in tested on the streets of moscow and is now ready to roll into must production. but the star of the show has to be the russian 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
11:39 am
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 are put with a dimmer mechanism which is fitted with a two point four kilowatt i quality sound system but the bogeys were made in russia and designed for russian tracks. they make up forty to sixty percent of the total cost of the 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 now on 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 trains 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 mouths to feed scientists are looking for ways to maximize the yields of staple crops and the
11:40 am
new tech in toms might just hold the key. to something alive. with sonny called god is can trace its roots all the way back to eight hundred eighty when construction work was started in the grounds of the city state university. it's a big general glass roof and walls has over seven thousand types of tree plants and from all corners of the globe and cover a bloomin six thousand five hundred square metres the gardens carry out importance work protecting some of the world's rarest species and conserving toms 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 added to soil or directly to fresh tree cuttings the nitrogen based plan through
11:41 am
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 base a great speed in the seeds even germinate more quickly in addition as has been found to disinfect seeds reducing the risk of fungal infection when applied to plant putting this guy coral forms a protective biodegradable film that kills bacteria while letting water in the fertilizer. also bitchy nitrogen which is an essential once food it's used to make amino acids 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 b oxo 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
11:42 am
new products to the domestic market. the uk sells unique ability to link polymers means is found up occasions in a diverse range of industries is used in oil recovery to make the solvable surgical stitches disinfectants paper coatings cosmetics and the list goes on the company's made by oxidizing ethylene glycol and cancer lies in reaction with heat and a lot of the silver however the guys it looks l.t. develops 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 sand there with the silver particles are evenly distributed throughout the material to boost its efficiency and more one
11:43 am
kilogram of this material can produce more than pure silver alone carol 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 like color. the fertilizers made by mixing the clear liquid x.l. with white carbon crystals. in the mix. she is then placed in a chemical reaction and catalyzed by an acid mixture but the company is keeping a tight lid on. as it turns out supply color is also pretty versatile the compound and its derivatives can be used in paints chipboard resident cool disinfectants flame retardants and so on. with 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
11:44 am
liquid is then filtered and a visit to dry it producing the whites quite colorful powder. the month 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 it would want to application may last for several seasons up to two or three so use 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 half so stay tuned for most i cope after the break.
11:45 am
there's a media leave us so we leave the media by the scene motions to the other your party visible. issues that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on our t.v. . right to see the. first strike. and i would think that you're. an army corps like. me in the. local. i know c.n.n. the m s n b c news have taken some slightly but the fact is i admire their
11:46 am
commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's closer to the truth and might think. it's because one whole attention and the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on here. coming up. at our team we have a different approach to the fellow because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not. ok. you guys talk to the jokes that will handle the stuff that i've got to.
11:47 am
welcome but let's take a quick look at this month's tech news before we continue with the rest of the show . spites. the two thousand and fourteen moscow 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 premise which included the unveiling of the lot of vesta and next gen chevrolet neiva prototypes as well as some new cars from dozens of money five years including
11:48 am
mitsubishi lunge over benno ford and v.w. . defense exhibition over an expert took place in the middle of august in the televisual course in the moscow region while some with the extensive business program most people would joins the exhibitions and demonstration of some of russia's latest defense take including an aerial display by team of. seattle host of the two thousand and fourteen microsoft in watching cup by the beginning of the month and first prize in the games a russian team. has. been based in television options going on in which players take on the electric spark bringing it to cities. it's a move that judges believe more of the team fifty thousand dollars for. every one knows that gets more powerful by the minutes allowing you to do things at once even
11:49 am
dreamt of a couple of years ago but even so there has to be a limit i mean there's no way you'll be able to carry on the power and storage of a desktop in your pocket or is there. to teach. 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 line between the operating systems and windows. with over four million copies of polish desktop from uk sold worldwide the i.t. giants recently went. into. an expertise with this technology and transferred them to their mobile sphere to provide remote access to windows and mac operating systems.
11:50 am
parallels access combines the possibility of a tablet or smartphone with the power of a desktop so users of the out can access important documents or stream the entire media y.b. from the other side of the world without suffering so bloated to the cloud first drug fragile hard drives abound 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 went to painstaking lengths to make computer applications look under feel as if they were originally written proposal device. among the main challenges with providing 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 screen as well as optimizing the resolution of a computer to be displayed on
11:51 am
a small mobile device. the palos set up launcher lets users start up the cations as if they were native mobile apps while the apps which 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 selects unused fitly drop down menus and buttons but the company is particularly proud of its tech selection functionality. what. texts and text selection and trading systems provide no access to this feature or its management. is just not provided for you because if you fold function of an operating system we should just work in text field. so we had to get inside windows and mac operating systems market 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.c.
11:52 am
office was one of the guys at the company didn't tell us if that's parlous x. is also pretty useful for playing a private school job unsuspecting colleagues. the computers in our office can be accessed by pretty much any artsy employee i installed the parlous desktop clients one of them the other day just to test out the program unfortunately opera's you say you didn't know this when she started the computer and the opportunity to play a practical joke was just too good to miss. we hit for cameras around the office while you was away and i was in constant contact with our director who told me when one zero. against just give me the go ahead and use the room for a second try connecting to a computer. sign and. carry schieffer mr computers my home computer is on his yearly as computer this is it. oh
11:53 am
now we can see looks like she's watching hold up so the technology updates so good for her right let's have some fun. by moving a mouse will think too drastic starts off with. someone let's move the mouse i hear. it weird you don't understand maybe you should delete the address that she's typing. on. with. us from the wrong address. that. really has absolutely no idea we can see exactly what she's typing. bit of a typo it's me the most the old. punch him 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
11:54 am
a message for me actually most. i don't know if you need to write this message your post should close it. near to you look what's happening here some is taking control of my mouse life. well. look here 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. what the heck's going on well it could be a virus it's been happening all morning. she's going slightly mad just. amazing this could be a couple of minutes or so she calms down. also non-work related social network. some clothes on which is our way to second or to second phones god sake come on suspect something maybe. we'll leave it.
11:55 am
i know it is but 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 for a little. bit warry and she's not doing anything on the computer now either i should do what. ok ok good oh ok. ok maybe i'll fix the problem. wait a second. didn't touch anything i was holding my phone with my left hand. just the i t. guy to come it's just what we wanted really and. the entire i.t. department was in on the joke so there was no chance that they'd give the game away
11:56 am
. right so the i.t. guy has been and gone. to collect a second time which is called the power little screen to display on her computer so unfortunately being bolstered. what is there that didn't this computer is being used remotely by parallels who did this. it's not connecting and 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 do us they just want to have a convenient way of working with them. and that's exactly what we're trying to achieve with their parallels access mobile app. if you want to call we're going to painter a flower that even fund golf would be proud of by way of apology remote access ops
11:57 am
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 to say install it 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 back and play your favorite computer game remove. i'm afraid all this month or so but if you can't wait an entire month for the next episode of technology one hundred pages on all the major social networks behind the scenes pics i'll take an eclipse since a few shows so next time enjoy the ride. we think about why we think that there are good. beaches.
11:58 am
coconut palms gently swaying in the ocean breeze. in fact. white has a deep dark little secret a secret the u.s. government would like you to know about. the ball a. little ball i did. succeeded a pig and all will do. is. one of the new will come up in a life in the immunology face and sometimes you know.
