    the pinhole camera work in eggs

    Battery tips No Comments

    This made with eggs from the pinhole camera Francesco Capponi hands Italian photographer. He said: “I have a strong desire to find a kind of take a photo only special camera. This camera can not only shoot the pictures, and will become a part of the picture.” Eventually he made to Pinhegg.

    Eggs pinhole camera idea is very simple - without the destruction of eggs circumstances make it a pinhole camera, filming in shell on after enhancement, eggs from camera into work.

    But this can be done up far from it so simple. Capponi spend years study, he calls himself hands were covered with was trashed the eggs hatch, who fails to the chicken must all take pain watched him. But in the end he succeeded.

    Eggs pinhole camera making method, is simply the eggs in the darkroom side openings, to shell side of photographic emulsions, then daub open fixed pinhole. Shooting is completed, will eggs open a knock off, on the other side eggshell, complete works on enhancement.

    In making egg pinhole camera, the biggest challenge is eggs are too fragile. Capponi successfully took four photo, a total of damaged more than 50 eggs.

    New hydrogen fuel battery catalyst contains no precious metals

    Battery tips No Comments

    According to the American physicists organization nets April 21 reports, American scientists developed a new type of hydrogen fuel cell catalyst, and now the biggest difference lies in the catalyst, the new catalyst excluding precious metals platinum, and composed of carbon, iron, cobalt, and made more efficient production capacity, is expected to solve hydrogen fuel cells, a major obstacle in the popularizing process, thrusting hydrogen fuel cell in personal equipment to cars more applications ramping up. Research published in 22 issue of the American science book.

    Hydrogen fuel cell can will hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy, will the battery can generate more electricity chaining together for automobile, etc, can supply large equipment, and its by-product, not only water emits greenhouse gases. But platinum-based catalyst limits the wide application of hydrogen fuel cells.

    Now, the los alamos national laboratory scientists WuGang (transliteration), cristina Johnston, leather, Abigail, ze Aaron champions of oak ridge national laboratory and the scientists Karen Moore, hand in hand with carbon (partly from high temperature process produces polyaniline), cheap iron and cobalt developed the new the platinum base catalysts, which would be applied to hydrogen fuel cells react with oxygen cathode that part. As with iron, cobalt metal replace cheap than the more expensive platinum, gold will greatly ease currently hydrogen fuel cell face high cost.

    Research results confirm, this new carbon - iron - cobalt catalyst let the battery more energy, higher efficiency and longer life, and can let fuel cell in continuously in the process of charging and discharging more small losses.

    More importantly, the carbon - iron - cobalt catalyst fuel cell can effectively will hydrogen and oxygen into water, and won’t produce large do not need hydrogen peroxide. Produce numerous hydrogen peroxide makes fuel-cell output energy reduced by 50% above, also could undermine the fuel cell membrane. Even the most advanced technology with now, compared the platinum base catalyst carbon - iron - cobalt catalyst using hydrogen peroxide also produced are minimal.

    Ze Aaron and said, compared with platinum base catalysts, new catalyst, but as durable its cost is almost zero, so it cleared the hydrogen fuel cell “flying into ordinary family to buy” facing the main barriers. Because the new catalyst have of efficient, los alamos national laboratory for its applied for patent.

    Los alamos fuel cell project manager Ken sandhust ROM pointed out that new fuel-cell overcame commercial fuel cells developing two biggest “bottleneck” : high cost and low durability. The research team plans to deeply understand the carbon - iron - the working principle of cobalt catalyst to improve its performance, and to further improve the hydrogen fuel cell efficiency and service life.
