See Gates of Hell in Uzbekistan

Fire doors are often painted with the atmosphere of a terrible fire burning hot. Conditions such as that contained in a fire gaping hole in the mainland of Uzbekistan, Central Asia. Thus, a fire pit that was referred to as the "gates of Hell."

Fire hole about twice the size of a football field with a depth of more than 30 meters. Initially not that big in size since the first time "gates of Hell" was encountered humans in 1975.

Originally a geologist digging with heavy equipment for the drilling of natural gas. Surprisingly, the location was found a large gap in the basement. Because of their size, all the equipment to dig down into the inside.

The gulf was filled with poisonous gas. There has been no official statement of the Soviet Union at that time relating how the number of victims killed by a hit by poison gas. However, experts get out and all the equipment that was left to fall away.

To avoid a toxic gas that already is open to the sky the earth is spread, experts decided to burn them. Position near a small town named Davaz.

Practically since 1975 that a giant hole belching fire like a volcano and still remain lit until now despite 35 years have passed. Surrounding community that no one dared approach the influence of thermal field up to several hundred meters so-called "gates of Hell."

Until now there has been no explanation of whether the "gates of Hell" was widened or stable in size because of the gas that comes out from the bowels of the earth is burned directly. Although exposed to rain, the fire did not die.

Fire giant hole that looks from a distance because it is located in a vast barren land. When the night, it seems increasingly clear with a yellowish light beam derived from the "gates of Hell" that.

Similar to the Lapindo mud, which continues to give thanks to the hot mud drilling is considered failed so sprayed onto the surface of the earth. Up to now there is also a geologist who has not been able to stop the Lapindo mudflow. What can be done only in order to limit the effects of hot mud that area does not continue to widen.

Unique and Legged Fish Found in the Sea In RI

Unique fish which appeared to have a leg found in the exploration of marine scientists in RI.


Angler fish has a fin-like legs, and used to balance themselves.

Scientists discovered that fish use the mapping system and robotic vehicles in the exploration of 21 thousand square miles (33.8 thousand square km) of sea in the north of Indonesia with a depth of 800 feet (0.25 km) up to 2 miles (3.2 km).

Faye Archell from the Centre of Applied Zoologym says, "many of the species known as an ambush predator. Adapt their fins in order to stay balanced on the seabed and still terkamuflase. "

"Then they use the bulge just above the head to lure prey to their mouths."

Most of these species live in the depths of the sea, but there was also that live in shallow and tropical regions.

Scientists predict 40 new species of plants and animals in the expedition for three weeks.

More than 100 hours of video and 100 thousand photographs were taken using a robotic vehicle with high resolution cameras connected to the mainland by satellite and high speed internet.

Verena Tunncliffe, professor of the University of Victoria Canada says the pictures it provides stunning views of the world's most complex marine ecosystems.

"Lili was located at sea and in shallow water, but it is now rare," he said in a written statement.

"I have only seen a few in my career. However, on this expedition I was amazed to see the diversity. "

One animal that looks like a flower caught with needles beralapis like glass, but scientists suspect that it is a carnivorous sponges.

Duri was wrapped in layers of sticky, which seem to be used to capture passing food. (source: solocybercity.wp)

Hold Earthquake beds

A middle-aged man in China got a patent, for a bed that will automatically turn into a box if an earthquake occurred.

Wenxi Wang said, he designed a bed from the closet. He inspired the wardrobe function that can store water, canned food, megaphones and a hammer. Tools that can help a person survive hidap for several days.

High board will close automatically, when the earthquake and to protect people who are in it to avoid falling debris.

"Wenchuan Earthquake and Yushu causing heavy casualties. So I think seriously, what can I do to minimize the number of casualties, "said Wang (66), resident of Shijiazhuang City north area, as reported by AFP on Thursday (08/19/2010).

Wenchuan, in the northwestern region of Sichuan province is the epicenter of the earthquake that occurred in May 2008, which resulted in approximately 87 thousand people dead and missing victims.

Yushu, Tibetan ethnic region in southwestern Qinghai Province, was hit by an earthquake measuring 6.9 on the Richter scale and killed in April 2700 inhabitants.

Wang said that bed would be suitable for homes with brick or concrete brick foundation and condition of the building under and bungalows.

Pensioners had also been made for five other design patents, but there is no design in the commercial production.

Do-it-yourself solar power for your home

(Sources CNN) -- Imagine outfitting your house with small, affordable solar panels that plug into a socket and pump power into your electrical system instead of taking it out.

That's the promise of a Seattle, Washington-based start-up that is working to provide renewable energy options -- solar panels and wind turbines -- for homes and small businesses. The panels cost as little as $600 and plug directly into a power outlet.



The company, Clarian Power, aims to be the first to bring a plug-in solar power system to the market, in 2011.

Clarian's president, Chad Maglaque, says the company's product is different from existing micro-inverters, which convert solar panels' power into AC current. Maglaque says his system has built-in circuit protection, doesn't require a dedicated electrical panel and plugs directly into a standard electrical outlet.

CNN talked with Maglaque to find out more about this system. Here's a transcript of our conversation, edited for length and clarity.

CNN: Can you give us some background on Clarian Power?

Maglaque: Clarian's mission is solar and wind power for every home. Renewable energy is completely out of reach for the average homeowner. For example, systems today cost $20,000 or $30,000. What we found is that homeowners really want to make a difference; they want to do something green; they want to offset their power bill, but these systems are just too expensive.

So what we've put together is a system where they can go down to their local [home improvement store] or work with their local utilities, if there are programs like that, and bring home two or three solar panels or a wind turbine -- if they have wind -- and plug that in without the parade of contractors or installers.

What makes your product line unique?

It comes down to simplicity and cost. We're talking the same cost as a home appliance vs. a home-equity loan.

It's also about the simplicity. Our system plugs into your existing wiring and can actually be up and running within an hour or two. So you bring that home from [your home improvement store], plug in the web access point, place the solar panel wherever you would like, whether it's in your home, your patio, or your garden.

You can put it on your roof, but unlike other systems where you have 20 to 30 solar panels and the only option is to put them on your roof, here's a situation where you have two or three and you can put them wherever you like. Once you're done with that you're able to plug them in and generate power from the get-go.

Normally the barrier of entry just to start, to generate a single watt of power, is $20,000 to $30,000 and that's just completely out of reach [for most homeowners]. Here's a product that we're looking to have priced between $599 and $799 [for a basic installation].

Currently the biggest problem [for conventional solar systems] is that fixed upfront cost of $5,000 to $8,000 worth of installation expenses that ... you have to amortize against the power savings. What we're saying is you can do it yourself or have a handyman help and within an hour you can actually have it up and running.

A $600 entry fee is relatively low. Was that a major factor in the design, and how do government rebates factor in?

Certainly price was a factor in design, but we've turned the problem on its head. We've solved the problem of the upfront cost of installation. You're simply paying for the cost of the solar panel and the power module itself.

Our cost is largely driven by the cost of a solar panel today -- we're looking at $599 to $799, and if the price of solar continues to come down, that price will continue to drop. Whereas [with] the turnkey systems you're still going to have that $8,000 minimum.

We expect the average homeowner to buy around two or three solar panels. In terms of tax rebates -- based on a typical $799 installation -- it's a 30 percent tax credit, so that's a $240 credit off the top. And then depending on the state you're in -- we use California because they are the most typical in terms of solar and renewables, $2 per watt -- that's another $400 credit. So we're talking a net cost of being able to do this for under $200. Of course you have to wait for those tax rebates.

How expandable is this system?

A two- to three-panel setup will cost in the $1,800 to $2,400 range -- even that is a significant investment. Based on our research and the feedback we've had, we think that's where the sweet spot is.

Our power module will support up to 1 kilowatt, so 1,000 watts. The wiring in your home will support 1,600 watts -- what space heaters and air conditioners are limited to. The way we've designed this it's fully modular and you can daisy-chain them [together] -- so you can go down to [a home-improvement store] and buy just one, and then next spring [if] you and your partner decide you want get two more, you can do that as well.

So you can start out with as little as 200 watts and grow the system from there.

When will these be available?

We're going into production this fall and we hope to have our power modules available in spring of 2011.

Who do you think will be your main customers?

Our target market is homeowners and small-business owners. There are a lot of homeowners who want to do this. This is a product that I want; there are a lot of people just hungry to do something like this. We've been talking about this for 30 years and there's never been a solution for that.

What about renters?

Absolutely. One of the keys to this product is that it is portable. Similar to your cable in terms of installation, you bring it in, you plug it in and set that up as a renter, and if you move you can take it with you.

This is a powerful point for homeowners as well -- not only do they have to pay $20,000 to 30,000 [with a conventional system] now they're looking at a payback time frame as much as 15 years. There's not a lot of homeowners who can guarantee they're going to be in their home that long.

Here's something instead that when you move you can take it with and set it up when you get there.

The photo you sent was of an awning set up over the door -- would the unit come like that?

What we are putting together, and talking with solar panel manufacturers about, is a "Power in a box" solution. What that will come with is a solar panel, the mount, the power module and the web access point, which allows you to upload the data and track and monitor things.

What we're working on [design reflected in above photo] is a mounting that would go on the side of your home. With 20 or 30 solar panels, the only place to put that is on your roof, if you're talking two or three solar panels, that's something you could put on your home as an awning, put in your garden, or on a fence, wherever you choose.

The other thing is that by definition half the roofs in the country are facing the wrong direction, whereas every home or yard, typically, has a south-facing wall or some south-facing location where they could put that. We think a nice little spot is an awning over your deck, patio or in the garden.

Will you have a wind solution that is similarly easy to install?

We recognize that solar is the larger market, but wind is kind of sexy right now. So what we looked at is developing a wind solution: a 400-watt turbine about 48 inches tall. There are 13 million homes in the U.S. that have a viable wind resource (12 mph or greater), compared to about 110 million that have solar. We think wind is an option for some, so it is certainly something we want to offer and hope to offer a wind power in a box solution for late 2011.

How long until these units pay for themselves?

Four years or less. That includes tax cuts and rebates, and will obviously depend on the cost of your electricity. We've used California as a model; in states like Hawaii, where electricity [cost] is higher, the payback will be faster. Larger [conventional] systems are 8 to 15 years. Our installed [cost] is about $3.50 -$4 per watt where larger turnkey systems are $5-$6 per watt.

With the base model, the $600 single-panel setup, what's the monthly dip in energy cost? How much would it offset an electricity bill?

Thirty to 40 kilowatt hours per month translates to around $50 a year in energy cost savings. That's about the same energy to light your home if you're using high-efficiency lightbulbs. If you expanded that out to three or four or more solar panels, you could actually offset the cost of your electronics, or some appliances such as your microwave.

To be clear, this is not about net metering or sending power to the grid -- all the power is consumed within your home. It's really about slowing the meter down. It will make a material difference in what you are paying for on your power bill.

So how exactly does this work?

There are two primary components: We have our circuit monitor and web access point, which has to be on the same circuit as the power module. Then you can plug your solar panel on any outlet on that circuit in your home. That power can then be used anywhere in your home. That power will flow where needed, if your refrigerator comes on, it will go there. You are just supplementing the power coming into your home.

Are there any concerns about wiring capacity or issues that customers should be aware of?

These will be UL-certified devices, the same certification required for any device you plug into your home. It cannot generate power without the power grid in place, without that it won't send power back up the line, same if you unplug it -- you're not going to get electrocuted, or anything like that.

What makes our technology different from others is that we have built-in circuit protection. The circuit monitor checks that circuit to make sure we're not overloading that wiring. And we're limiting the power modules, at least initially, to 1,000 watts, which is well within the range of the wiring in your home.

What future applications are there for this technology? Could someone plug an electric car into this to charge it?

There are applications where you could plug this into your car. Of course, the power consumption of your car is many orders of magnitude compared to what this system could produce.

Wind and solar are the top ones we see coming into play, but there could be other options in the future. If Honda eventually comes out with a fuel cell generator you could use that, for example. We've built it to be agnostic to the power source -- it could be a fuel cell, a plug-in hybrid, or backup storage [like you might have for your computer]. And if someone comes up with cold fusion, that would work, too.

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray

And you calling me colored?
