Sports and Video Production

April 5th, 2011

My friends have a dynamic career. They run a Dallas Texas video production company which makes creative videos for companies and major pro sports teams in the area. They have the opportunity to do the enriching facets of video which engages their creative personalities; and they earned the right to design video subject matter focusing on the athletes quite often.For instance, my friends get to work on serving the Dallas Arena Football League team. A recent video they did featured clips from the players mixed in with their exercise routines. These clips included football practices, weight training at a hardcore gym, and actual plays from games. The video highlighted hits from games, as well as other highlight-type video snippets, into a music video which plays during games.When I asked these friends about being featured as one of the prominent new Dallas video production services, they responded with their description of the magnitude about how much they love video design. They also remarked on their favorite inspirations for design. These friends also discussed their interaction with certain professional athletes; and they cited how they get much of their video footage on media day.

Solar Powered Water Pumps

January 5th, 2010

A great way to put solar panels to use is to install a solar powered water pump for your well. Even though windmills have more commonly been used to power water pumps, solar panels are starting to become the prefered method for pumping water in remote locations. This is great news for so many reasons. First of all, there are huge amounts of land that have been thought to be inhabitable because potable water was not available. Well, just imagine a solar well that taps deep down water sources in remote deserts all over our planet. Someday this could that overpopulation will not be a problem as vast amounts of new real estate becomes available for more and more people. Agricultural land may someday increase 100 fold when this actually becomes a reality. Second, pumping water with solar panels is particularly a good use for solar panels because the energy can be saved indefinately in the form of gravity.

Solar panel systems that charge batteries can become expensive because batteries in these systems can often cost more than the solar panels themselves thus rendering the entire idea not econimcally sound. Now, that I’ve convinced you what a great idea it is to install a solar powered water pump, let me move on to the how to. It is important to choose a good solar powered well pump for use that makes the best use of your power and doesn’t require a transformer where energy is lost unnecessarily. You don’t want a regular well pump that runs on 110 volt AC power. That would mean that you would have to invest in an inverter that would eat up a lot of power and bring your well pump to a slow trickle. You want a well pump designed specifically for solar panels and that means you want a low votage DC model water pump. Your solar panel doesn’t need a high wattage rating to run your solar pump. Some solar powered pumps operate on as little at 100 watts. Of course, the more watts, the more water you can pump so you need to find out what your requirements are before you go out shopping.

There is much more to be written about this subject, so please visit my website for more information about solar panels: http://www.solarpanel.be

Choosing to Die or Choosing Death by Robot

December 31st, 2009

In the future thru life extension we will be able to choose when we die. There will be miracle drugs, Super Vitamin C and replacement parts such as artificial limbs, hearts, lungs and the latest and greatest robotics. Will be choose to remain 100% human or extend life thru robotic parts, merging with machines? One might choose to go natural, but as we may choose to replace parts and live to see our great, great, great, great grand children if the Earth does not fill up with too many people? Or we may choose for space colonies since there is estimated to be over 30 Billion humans on the planet by 2050.

Will death by robot become a reality? When we replace parts until we are more robot than human and at what point do we cease being human and become something else? Well it is true “choosing to die” does not currently have anything to do with robotics, but it will soon. And soon enough we will cure every disease and delete many of the accidents that happen to humans and be able to “fix them” and stop aging. Many have prophesized this and Ray Kurzweil has a number of followers of his “singularity” concept. If we stop aging thru BioTech and or changing parts that we cannot grow for some reason, then well it has everything to do with the future of robotics and the BioTech revolution merger.

Many a studier of humankind agree, that biological evolution has not kept up with the computer age and it is causing issues with our civilizations and societies, no doubt. At the same time the re-invention of society is not able to take the beast out of the human either, and we keep sweeping those innate characteristics under the carpet. Those negative aspects of the human species keep emerging over and over again. They keep popping up where we don’t want them and then refuse to address them and we make new laws against them. Sweeping them under the carpet is a real problem as we move into the future period of hyper scientific discovery.

If you were given the choice of going completely 100% human, choosing to die or Choosing Death by Robot, which would you choose? What if being human was considered inferior in the future? Are you afraid of change, caught in religious dogma or are you looking forward to the future? Think on this, as it will not be long now.

Android Antenna Systems and Aesthetics

May 26th, 2009

There has been much talk recently in the scientific news about household robotic systems, which also serve as WiFi capable systems. Perhaps someday you or your family may have a robotic artificial intelligence android household maid or companion, which will look so real and act so normal, that you will often forget it is not human at all.

This brings up another issue, if your robotic android is a WiFi capable system and is fully integrated into your Net-centric house and capable of starting your smart car, then it will need antennas incorporated into its design in order to be fully capable of this function.

Indeed, you will not want a bunch of antennas hanging off your robots, as it would look truly absurd. You’ll want to feel at home with your robot and make it part of the family and thus any antenna must be concealed within its structure. Yet we all know that antennas work best we may have the clearest shot.

Additionally the future houses will be more economically efficient to hold in the heat or the cool air to save energy and therefore the walls of the house may obstruct a good signal. Therefore it will be best to have a net centric house with antennas in the walls so there can be caused in two-way communication between your robotic assistant and all the systems of the house. It makes sense for robotic engineers to consider these important facts with the signing our future artificially intelligent robotic family androids. So, consider this in 2006.

Rapid Re-Camouflaging of Military Convoys

August 28th, 2008

The future of warfare is changing rapidly in the modern battlefield. The logistical military convoys are also changing and soon they will be robotic with no people. But for now we have valuable human life within those convoys and they must be protected at all costs. The best way to protect a military convoy is with camouflaging, however we must also realize that when we go from one area to another such as a desert and then thru a forest the color of the convoy needs to change with the surrounding background.

To prevent satellite detection the tops of the vehicles need to be the same color is the road you’re traveling on. If it is a dirt road then you need spray on dirt to put on the top of the vehicles and if you’re traveling on a road the tops of the vehicles need to be a black color identical to the roadway so they cannot be seen by satellites; perhaps you see the problem.

But how can you rapidly change the color of an entire convoy? Well, I have an idea and it does not include using the xenon blast to rapidly remove all the paint and then repaint all the vehicles because that would take forever. In the fast-moving convoy of the modern battlespace this needs to done while in motion; So, here is my plan;

We need an easy up system like a giant pop-up car detailing tent which would span across the road where the convoy could drive thru with ring sprayers inside. Then once completed just keep driving and the tent system would fold down and be loaded in a Humvee in a box.

I know when we use to spray tire dressing or degreaser in these tents they if they had at least two sides the wind would not significantly disrupt the direction of spray you see? Formerly before my retirement I ran an Auto Detailing Business DetailGuys.com and a Mobile Car Wash Franchise Carwashguys.com and this is the basis of my knowledge on this concept. Please consider all this in 2006 and support the troops.
