hello and welcome to technology update coming up on surveys show. a face lift. science flourishes in tomsk. and we have some phone around the office. with a link to bill's creeping up on fossil fuels burning else people are increasingly looking to the sun for the answers 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 way. 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 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 renewables comes on the 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 street clothes and hydrofoils 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've given it because of the slick soul of boats which was made in europe for bush's symmetry 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. globe 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. 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 synergy spoils weren't quite as graceful around the coolness as it proven to be along the straits and the boats lost precious seconds on each turn this gave as with his 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. while most people were enjoying the weather swimming role playing volleyball making

the most of the sun in a different way we could 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 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 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 at least likely six meters long two point one meters wide is propelled by five kilowatts outboard motor two lithium pulling a bunch of blocks together weighing one hundred sixty kilograms. the let's move on

displacement. generates will prevent. pretty tragic fractures 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 powered up the propeller and of course checked but given the short time frame the team used the suv it feels best for the base. that. this boat has great performance and sea going characteristics as well as a low planing speed. but this boat was originally developed for low powered petrol engines. that seem completely overhauled to the rest of the vessel.

is made from an alum in frame strength and with 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 company and when the time came for us to take parts it was through 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 over. the willed plus solar panels were supplied locally by one of the team sponsors that is than the metal ceramics instrumentation plans. to predict. process starts by

cleaning and visually inspect the external glass pane the surface of the glass is slightly off the top as much light as possible reflected from the solar cells beneath. the inspections completes 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 to convey away any floor cracks in the semi metal cells would shine right through before being sold together in series. to prevent. getting into the finished product i think ethylene vinyl acetate film is placed on top. and 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 waitressed frictions we had a store existing technologies and use a lighter flexible polymer a base to produce the 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 author official 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 the seventeen percent despite only launching solar panel production in two thousand and eight the companies 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 work with us students who already have viable ideas that can be developed into marketable products. meanwhile back in moscow the solar got to turned into

a two horse race just some other thoughts on their son's 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. 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 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 trauma produced by chung's 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 bushehr 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 are opened with a dimmer mechanism which is 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 tram so using these bodies' as well as other russian made components makes this trend about one and a half to two. cheaper than the equivalent for

a model shows 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. in the lock. with sunny called gardens can trace its roots all the way back to eight hundred eighty one construction work was started in the grounds of the city's state's university. it's a big general 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 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 added 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 as has been found to disinfect seeds reducing the risk of fungal infection when applied to plant could things like color all forms of protective biodegradable film that kills but syria.

well that's in water which means in the fertilizer is also reaching nitrogen which is an essential on food it's used to make amino acids the building blocks of protein and the core of all the 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 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 markets. bilk 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.

have developed a catalyst it's unlike anything used elsewhere. the average or the traditional elements used 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 can 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 built cells with white. cobham ice crystals. in the mixture

is then placed in a chemical reacts and catalyzed by an acid mixture that 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 resin cool disinfectant 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 liquid is then filtered and the visit to dry it producing the whites by 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 it once and forget about fertilizing for the next three years. with great color

rules and long lasting affects 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. that's just into the first off so stay tuned for most i cope after the break. i'm abby martin the stories we cover here are knocking here in iraq back story. on top of reason they don't want you now. now let's break the set.

list take a quick look at this month's tech news before we continue with the rest of the show . bytes. the two thousand and fourteen moscow international also reveal salon opened its doors on the twenty seventh of august to the crocus expo sense of joining the eleven day events 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 best next gen chevrolet neve prototypes as well as some new cars from dozens of money including mitsubishi lunge over ford and v.w. . defense exhibition experts took place in the middle of august in the ski in the moscow beach and while some with the extensive business

program most people would fall into the exhibitions and demonstrations of some of russia's latest defense take including an aerial display by team. to the two thousand and fourteen microsoft in matching code but the beginning of the month and first prize in the games a russian team. has. been based in television. in which players take on the an electric spark bringing the city's. should be limited to just the world of the team fifty thousand dollars . everyone knows that's more powerful by the minutes allowing you to do things that . a couple of years ago. but even so there has to be limits 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 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 dell of all 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. into my. own expertise with this technology and transferred them to the mobile sphere to provide remote access to windows and mac operating systems. parallels access combines the ports of billets if it's helpful it's all smartphone with the power of a desktop so users of the out can access important documents or stream the media y.b. from the other side of the world without suffering so bloated to the cloud first

drug fragile hard drives a van with a. 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 under feel as if they were originally written for a portable device. among the main challenges were 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. polos sets up launch a 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 a magnifying glass helps users selects unused 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 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 palos desktop clients and one of them the other day just to test out the program unfortunately our producer unit didn't know this when she started the computer and the opportunity to play a private school joke on a was just too good to miss. we had four cameras around the office while he was away and i was in constant touch with our director said again we went to one zero. 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 you lose computer this is it. oh now we can see looks like she's watching the hold up sort of technology update so good for her right let's have some fun psystar by moving a mouse thing to drastic starts off with. someone let's

move the mouse i hear. it weird i don't understand maybe you should delete the address that she's typing. on. with. us from the long 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 you know if you tell you cannot what's going on. there's a message from me actually morrison. i don't know if you need to write this message your post should close it. needs you look what's happening here it's almost taking control of my mouth so much. so

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 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 let's give it a couple 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 believe it. i did it anyway alex a uni 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 that it's just taking me to frequently visited

so it's just that with what's going on. with books there is one. bit worrying but she's not doing anything on the computer now either i should see what. ok ok good oh ok. so you are confused. 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 what we wanted. the entire i.t. department was in on the joke so there was no chance that they give the game away. right so the i.t. guy has been and gone. to collect a second time which is called the parlor screen to display on her computer so unfortunately we've been busted. short is this

this computer is being used remotely by parallels here did this. not connect 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 device 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 of course we're going to painter a flower that even fund 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 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 show that if you can't wait an entire month for the next episode of technology dates why not check out our pages on all the major social networks behind the scenes pics outtakes and acclaim since a few shows so next time enjoy the ride. gender trump it symbolizes gender madness in swedish acadian here because i found this. project the finest with seventy thousand euros to investigate the trunk from a gender perspective. lisa
