With its ultra-compact folding format, a solid amount of flight time, and stellar onboard camera, Parrot’s ANAFI drone was already amongst the top-tier options on the market.
But now, the French manufacturer has stepped it up even further with the addition of a thermal camera intended to boost the ANAFI’s usefulness across industrial applications. Parrot is touting the ANAFI Thermal Drone as the best in its category. Here is the advantage of 3D printing. You don’t need to worry about crashing. You know there is a little factory constantly producing frames in your home. : 3Dprinting. Parametric Multi-Blade Propellor Generator by BouncyMonkey. This is a parametric propellor model generator which can create propellors with multiple blades.
It was written in OpenSCAD 2015 and uses coding that will not work in older versions. The script makes workable propellors but not necessarily the most beautiful ones. To beauty them up you may want to take the generated model into something like Blender and with a bit of loop bridging make some nicely merging shapes around the hub. I wanted tracks for my 1:10 scale rc to drive in snow, took a little longer than expected but I finished it today... : 3Dprinting.

While there have been a lot of huge changes across the aerospace industry since the Orvilles’ first flight in 1903, the basic idea behind fixed-wing aircraft has remained largely the same.
But now NASA and MIT, both engineering giants in their own right, have teamed up to create a radical and revolutionary new Morphing Wing that could change air travel as we know it forever. Assembled from hundreds of tiny, identical pieces, the Morphing Wing isn’t fixed. In fact, it is actually designed to change shape mid-flight to control the trajectory of aircraft in a much more efficient manner than existing flapped fixed wings. MLIA2345 (u/MLIA2345) - Reddit.

Watch Russia’s Flying Rifle In Action For the First Time Ever. Russian state-owned arms manufacturer Almaz-Antey has made the world’s first flying rifle, a low-cost drone that carries a Kalashnikov and can follow its target until it is dead.
Watch it in action here: The 23-kilogram drone has a three-meter wingspan, carrying a 12-caliber Vepr 12 semi-automatic shotgun designed after the infamous Kalashnikov rifle. The drone doesn’t require a runaway or catapult to operate, as it launches and lands vertically. Its engineers — the Moscow Aviation Institute — claim that the weapon can target and fire moving objects while “maintaining full control” of the flight, which can last up to 40 minutes thanks to its electric battery. “If the target is not hit,” the Institute says, “it can continue moving behind the object without further adjusting its course.” Shrimp Tank Guide. Setting up your Shrimp Aquarium Setting up a shrimp tank is easy.
Whether you want to house Ghost Shrimp, Cherry Shrimp, Amano Shrimp or even Crystal Red Shrimp the process will be the same. Generally hobbyists wanting to start a shrimp tank have had some experience with fish aquariums. This is useful but not entirely necessary. We will approach setting up the shrimp tank in stages below covering the most important steps. Most species of aquatic shrimp are favored for their small size. Trident Underwater Scooter. Not too long ago, Geneinno successfully launched their Titan Underwater Drone; however, that device only allowed you to discover underwater marvels through a live video feed.
Now, Geneinno is at it again, but this time their Underwater Scooter will take you up close and personal with the wonders of the sea. A great device for scuba divers and snorkelers, this scooter can pull you down to a maximum depth of 50m(164ft). You have control of the dual propellers, which deliver a thrust power of up to 26lbs, and can choose between two set speeds: 2.2 mph and 4.3 mph. It uses a 24V/6,000 mAh lithium battery that takes 1.5 hours to charge, allowing the Trident to pull you along underwater to tour the majestic world beneath the surface for about an hour.

NASA has conducted the first flight of a large, remote-piloted drone through public airspace without the usual safety chase plane.
Using advanced communication and collision avoidance technology, the Ikhana unmanned aircraft took off the Armstrong Flight Research Center in California and flew to Fresno and back while sharing the air with commercial and private pilots. Drones and UAVs have become increasingly common in the past couple of decades, but when it comes to the public airspace used by regular air traffic, they are still rare birds that are only welcome under special circumstances. Robotic cuttlefish autonomously scuttles through pipes. It was just back in March that German electrical automation company Festo unveiled two of its latest robots inspired by animals – a crawling/rolling spider and a flying fox bat.
Now, it's taken the wraps off BionicFinWave, which moves like a cuttlefish. Along with the polyclad marine flatworm, which was another inspiration for the robot, the actual cuttlefish moves forwards and backwards through the water via two continuously-undulating fins that run along both sides of its body. The largely 3D-printed BionicFinWave is equipped with two such fins of its own, although they're made out of highly-flexible silicone.
Each fin is moved by nine integrated lever arms, which are connected via a flat crankshaft to one of two servo motors housed within the robot. Those motors operate independently of one another – this lets the two fins undulate at different speeds and in opposite directions, allowing the robot to turn left or right on the spot. SkyGuardian drone to make transatlantic flight. General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc (GA-ASI) is sending an MQ-9B SkyGuardian drone on the first-ever transatlantic flight of a Medium-Altitude, Long-Endurance (MALE) Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA). The long-endurance flight will take off from GA-ASI's Flight Test and Training Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota on July 10 and will land at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, England on July 11. The MQ-9B already made history recently when NASA used one to make the first flight of a large drone through public airspace without the usual safety chase plane, while another also set a new endurance record by staying aloft for over 48 hours.
Now GA-ASI is upping the ante by flying one across the Atlantic. Because most of the flightpath will be over the ocean, the baseline MQ-9B SkyGuardian will be equipped with an Inmarsat SwiftBroadband SATCOM to maintain contact with ground control and to confirm that the aircraft is properly configured for automatic takeoff and landing.

Coiled carbon fiber artificial muscle lifts 12,000 times its own weight. No matter how regularly you exercise, artificial muscles have long since surpassed their natural counterparts. Now, researchers from the Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois have developed an artificial muscle made of carbon fiber and rubber that can lift over 12,000 times its own weight. The MechSE Illinois team started with the goal of making coiled artificial muscles – a relatively new design – stronger and as a result, more practical. With that in mind, carbon fiber was chosen, a very strong but lightweight material. To make it more deformable, the researchers mixed the carbon fiber with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) rubber and twisted it into a coiled shape. Machines really are here to take over the world : mechanical_gifs. Realistic racing game 'DRAG' coming to Linux soon, built on Linux and it looks astonishing. Zaha Hadid's sustainable "sand dune" emerges from the desert.
Located in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, Bee'ah headquarters' dune-like design is both inspired by, and intended to blend in with, the local desert landscape. It will serve a Middle East environmental waste management company and is slated for LEED Platinum (a green building standard) certification. Recycled building materials are being used and the goal is for no building waste to reach the landfill (one example is that concrete waste is being repurposed for the construction of barriers). The building is being oriented to make use of the prevailing breeze for natural cooling and once complete, it will use energy and water saving fixtures (LED lighting, low-flow taps and toilets, etc).
Bee'ah headquarters will get all of its electricity from the sun. Record-breaking hybrid drone stays aloft for over four hours. Drone technology is getting better all the time, and one area folks are putting a lot of energy into is boosting the amount of time the things can stay in the air. Drone manufacturer Quaternium is claiming a new milestone in this field, after flying its HYBRiX.20 fuel-electric quadcopter for four hours and forty minutes in what it describes as a world record flight for a self-powered multicopter. Most multicopter drones you can buy off the shelf boast flight times of 25 to 30 minutes, though we have seen custom-built multicopters fly for far longer.
Last year, for example, a commercial drone operator used a bespoke quadcopter to cross the English channel in a 72-minute jaunt, while others such as dronemaker Skyfront have previously claimed endurance records well in excess of four hours. The video shows the company's Hybrix.20 multicopter hovering in the air with a clock in the foreground for a period of four hours and forty minutes. DJI Zenmuse X7 Camera and Lens Comparison.

Hydrogen-powered vehicles are slowly hitting the streets, but although it's a clean and plentiful fuel source, a lack of infrastructure for mass producing, distributing and storing hydrogen is still a major roadblock. But new work out of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) could help lower the barrier to entry for consumers, with a device that uses sunlight to produce both hydrogen and electricity. The UCLA device is a hybrid unit that combines a supercapacitor with a hydrogen fuel cell, and runs the whole shebang on solar power.
Along with the usual positive and negative electrodes, the device has a third electrode that can either store energy electrically or use it to split water into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen atoms – a process called water electrolysis. To make the electrodes as efficient as possible, the team maximized the amount of surface area that comes into contact with water, right down to the nanoscale. X-Matik's LaneCruise add-on kit brings self-driving tech to older cars. If you want to experience the benefits of autonomous driving technology, you need to shell out for a late model car, right?

Pimax 8K VR Headset. Die fire ! : BetterEveryLoop. MIT app listens to your car to find out what it needs. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is developing an app that uses a phone's microphone and accelerometer to diagnose a vehicle's potential problems. It will enable wannabe mechanics and the safety-conscious, but could also be useful to others. MIT researchers imagine a scenario where a ride-share passenger who is using the app tells the driver that the car might need a filter change or some new spark plugs. The reality would carry the technology much further, though, as everyday car owners could use it to become more intimately familiar with the nuances of their vehicle and its needs. Parrot gives Bebop 2 a Power boost. BlueWater 1 drone joins the race for the bottom. 3D-printable synthetic muscle is three times stronger than you.
