just.

hello and welcome to technology update coming up on today's show. a facelift. science flourishes. and we have some phone around the office. with a link to bill's creeping up on fossil fuels running 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 say. and what better way to show off what you can do than in a race in the center of moscow. second way. first solar augusta was held on the most cool river on a sunny day at the end of july in the competition nine teams from mission unison one from monaco to waste. solar powered boats in

a race to the finish as well as demonstrating the capabilities of today's solar tech events and most renewables 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 the sleep person hydrofoils did 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 of guinea cousin of the slick solo 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 together teams from china usa and brazil it's monaco's prestigious yacht club here in moscow the founders of the solar got 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 in 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 coolness as they've proven to be along the straights and the boats lost precious seconds on each turn this gave it as with this classic boat design all the opportunity it needed to close the gap to 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 song in a different way we could talk with that scene from the states. radio technical

university while many of the other competitors boats were built purely for speed this team went for practicality as well this solar boats has room enough for 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 optimizing 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 through your head. the solar sail a five point six metres long two point one metres 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 they can move around displacement the solar panels on the generates will prevent you from. truly charge 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 hours it is 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 powered up the propeller and of course check for leaks given the short time frame the team used the soviet focus for at the base. that. this boat has great performance art and sea 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 element in frame strengths. into the extruded foam palestine 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 that chantix 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 this through the boat had been fully charged entirely by the sun bonnet which is to 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 that is than metal ceramics instrumentation plants. the production process starts by cleaning and visually inspecting the external glass pane the surface of the glass the slightly roof the top as much light as possible

reflected from the solar cells beneath. the inspection is complete the panes that 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 the back clips convey away any flaws or cracks in the semi metal cells would shine right through before being sold together in series. to prevent any dust all dry and 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 slum an a.t.m. machine. number which in which we were very happy to be part of this project years more that we supplied the solar panels for the boat so it could compete in the regatta. down with the project had some unusual requirements due to both waitressed . actions we had to make said we just made a store existing technologies and use

a lighter flexible problem a base to produce a solar module 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 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 moscow the solar it got to turned into a two horse race just some of the tail. the nimble try and run through is 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. held the in a problem 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 produced by transmission holding. the city star was assembled in. the streets of moscow and is now ready to roll into mass production.

but the star of the show how to be the bush one prototype by or all of our bones of the futuristic trunk which offers unrivaled 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 is fitted with a two point four kilowatt i quality sound system with 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 because rush 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 fight it takes 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 then you'd seconds homes might just hold the key. on something no one. 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 in texas 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 tom's local.

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 a fertilizer called bicolor. when added to soil or directly to fresh tree cuttings the nitrogen based plant through it significantly boosts the growth rates in. the researchers also stumbled across an unexpected benefits of using dry color . on glycol improves the growth process and basic right speed in the seeds even germinate more quickly in addition edges been found to disinfect seeds reducing the risk of fungal infection when applied to plant could sing this guy coral forms a protective biodegradable serum that kills but syria while letting water in the fertiliser is also rich in nitrogen which is an essential once food it's used to make amino acids the building blocks of protein and the core for the plants used to

go to synthesize and if that weren't enough glycol will slowly release its nitrogen for a sustained growth. color is based on the versatile organic compound of the 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 new products to the domestic market. 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 made by oxidizing ethylene glycol and catalyzing reaction with heat and a lot of the silver however the guys it's blocked sell teeth are developed a catalyst it's unlike anything used elsewhere. the average or the traditional elements use. across the world are produced in the us 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 and another advantage is its thermal stability because. having cracked the secrets of how to produce. the siberian company sets about manufacturing some of the many products derived from it including glycol or. the fertilizers made by mixing the clear liquid x.l. with white column ice crystals. in the mixture is then placed in a chemical reacts and catalyzed by an acid mixture that the companies 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 called disinfectant flame retardants and so on. with demand on the domestic market 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 evasive to dry producing the whites quite colorful 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 it once and forget about fertilizer 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 you maybe even take some time out for

a stroll in the tomsk botanical garden. just into the first half so stay tuned for most i cope after the break. to go. to. c.b.s. bizarre to see it more than the propaganda or full part of it is the state sponsored rush or today program just words by sabean else like telling them in analyze this present time is just ridiculous not an answer to my question. john is not the poor to sleep there safely and sometimes their lives all over the wall to bring people stories none the propaganda channel don't want you to see and we told her some please. stop.

your friend post a photo from a vacation you can't afford college it's different. 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. i'm abby martin the stories we cover here we're not going to hear any right scott our big story the facts are that life the same time there's a reason they don't want international airport. now let's break the set .

let's take a quick look at the tech news before we continue with the rest of the show. bytes. two thousand and fourteen international also reveal salon opened its doors on the twenty seventh of august to the crocus expo sense of joining 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 mitsubishi. ford and v.w. . defense exhibition expert took place in the middle of. 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 the two thousand and fourteen microsoft in matching cope with the beginning of the month and first prize in the games russian team. has. been based development. in which players take on the 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 and windows. with over four million copies of powerless desktop from uk sold worldwide the i.t. 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. mock.

parallels access combines the portability of its help a little smartphone with the power of a desktop so users of the out can access important documents will stream the media y.b. from the other side of the world without having so bloated to the cloud first drug fragile hard drives around with that. you can also provide remote support to technically challenged older relatives and be in the office while sitting in it if you see. the developers of the company when it's a 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 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 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 the magnifying glass helps users selects news fiddly drop down menus and buttons but the company is particularly proud of its tech selection functionality. regarding text and text selection. trading systems provide no access to this feature or its management. this is not provided for any fold function of an operating system we should just work text fields. 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.t. office was one of the guys at the company didn't tell us if 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 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 said again who told me when to wonder all. right surrogates just give me the go ahead and use the room for a second try connecting to a computer. sign in. three computers my home computer is on his you lose computer this is it. now we

can see it looks like she's watching all the technology updates so good for her right let's have some fun. by moving a mouse. nothing 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. 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 in why if you've got a mind of your own i didn't type that i didn't ask you tell you cannot what's going on. is

a message for me i should always say. i don't know if you need to write this message your post should close it. near to you live what's happening here it's so much 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. 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 she closed which is our way to second rate second phones godsake come on suspect something maybe. ok we'll 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 what's going on. 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 sec. i didn't touch anything i was holding my phone with my left hand. just the i t. got the comb 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

. 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 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 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 a convenient way of working with them. and that's exactly what we're trying to achieve with there are parallels that. if you. were going to painter a flower that even front golf would be proud of by way of apology remote access

apps 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 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 remote. i'm afraid that's all for this month 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. we think of the way we think that there are good. for all sand beaches.
