10 Fascinating Floating City Concept

Posted: 17 Feb 2011 03:47 AM PST

With both population and man's greed for money increasing at galloping speed, land mass on earth is turning into concrete jungle. People have already felt the pinch of property prices rising skywards which is due to shortage of space in urban areas. So it dawned upon few brains that lets plunge into the water bodies for is occupies as much as 70% of earth's surface. And voila, we have Gyre, the Floating City Concept which will rest on humongous oceans and create a new space for modern human civilization.

Here’s the 10 most amazing albeit convincing concepts of floating cities.

1. Embassy of Drowned Nations: Floating City:

The Embassy of Drowned Nations, in Fort Denison, Australia, is specifically designed for people who have lost their homes to rising sea levels. But it not all about the 'poetic justice'; this innovative conception also incorporates the inverted design which causes it to sink deeper into the harbor when the water level rises, while at the same time exposing new land in the center of the refuge.

2. BOA – A sustainable floating city:

The Boston Arcology (BOA) will be designed to provide safe and most importantly dry living space to over 15,000 people after the 'post apocalyptic' scenario of rising ocean levels washing away our cities. The floating city will provide housing along with other services such as hotels, offices, retail, museums, condominiums and a city hall.

3. Green Float – A carbon negative floating city:

A motley crew of scientists, engineers in Japan have embarked upon this momentous project, which aims to build a tower that is 1km tall and has a vertical farm counteracted on a floating concrete pad!

4. Lilypad – A green safe haven of the future:

The Lilypad will be constructed as a luxurious retreat for climatic refugees in the year 2100. Though inspired by Noah's Ark, nothing will be ancient about the advanced green technology used here. The lower half of this floating city will be submerged in water, while the upper half will protrude above to harness the abundant solar energy.

5. Harvest City In Haiti":

Thought of as solution to house the affected people of the recently earthquake ravaged Haiti, this innovative, gem of an idea by architect E. Kevin Schopfer and Tangram 3DS, is much more than damage control. The idea promotes the ambitious vision of – a number of floating island cities constituting of a 30,000 strong self sufficient community, all regenerated by several imbued agricultural and industrial facilities.

6. Floating City in Russia:

The Eco-Techno City is conceived as a floating mega city built on an elaborate framework of numerous small man-made islands. The main residential hub will be located in a central 500 ft 'green' skyscraper featuring vertical farms, solar panels and even rainwater collectors. This skyscraper will be surrounded by recreational and service zones on the outer perimeter.

7. Gyre- A Floating City Concept for Modern Human Civilization:

Contrived by home design studio Zigloo, this enterprising design would incorporate a 'sky'-scraper, named as the Gyre at a depth of 400m under water. The arduous conception will cover an area of more that 40 football fields with completely self-sufficient working and living zones.

8. Freedom Ship City concept:

Fundamentally this concept calls for a moving city-vessel in the sea albeit with gargantuan dimensions. This mobile floating behemoth will have a length of 4,500 feet, a width of 750 feet, and a height of 350 feet. The city will feature ostentatious living conditions, a duty free shopping mall and a commercial zone encompassing an area of more than 1.7 million sq ft!

9. Water-scraper – A Self-Sufficient City at Sea:

Water-scraper epitomizes the very evolutionary end result of green technology. The city will generate its own electricity by using wave, wind, solar power and even kinetic energy. Moreover there will be farms, a small forestland along with well defined quarters for working and living of people.

10. Floating City Concept by Ahearn Schopfer Architects:

Designed by Ahearn Schopfer Architects and located in New Orleans, this impressive conception is a perfect 'floating' amalgamation of residential and commercial zone. The grandiose design features 20,000 housing units at an average of 1,100 sq ft, three hotels, 1,500 time-share units and 500,000 sq ft of retail space. Also included are three casinos, 500,000 sq ft of commercial condominiums, parking for 8,000 cars, a school, 100,000 sq ft of cultural facilities and a 20,000 sq ft health facility.

Siemens Gas-Sensor

Posted: 17 Feb 2011 02:48 AM PST

Engineers at Siemens have developed a mobile phone sized device that is capable of detecting nitric oxide an oncoming asthma attack marker.Simens Gas-Sensor can tell if an asthma sufferer is close to having an attack hours in advance and could give patients vital time to take anti-inflammatory medicines and prevent a serious episode that may otherwise land them in hospital…….

By analyzing patients’ breath, a new Siemens sensor can tell hours in advance if someone will get an asthma attack. The gas sensor registers if an asthma sufferer’s air passages are about to become inflamed, enabling the patient to take anti-inflammatory medication in time to prevent an attack. The sensor measures amounts as small as one ppb (part per billion) for making it as sensitive as larger devices that are far more expensive and not portable. One ppb corresponds approximately to the dilution of a cube of sugar in a 50 meter-long swimming pool. The new sensor is contained in a prototype device that will be portable and only a little larger than a cell phone.

In patients suffering from asthma, the latent inflammation of the bronchial tubes generally spreads long before the patients actually feel anything. If the inflammation is intense, the air passages constrict and the patient has an asthma attack. The attacks can be so serious that the patient has to be treated in hospital which is why many asthma sufferers regularly take anti-inflammatory medication. Previously, the only way to detect impending asthma attacks in advance was to conduct expensive pulmonary examinations to determine if the patient’s breath contained heightened levels of nitrogen monoxide (NO) which signal such an attack. By contrast, the new sensor from Siemens Corporate Technology will enable patients to analyze the NO in their breath themselves. As a result, they will be able to take the minimum amount of preventive medication and increase the dose only if really necessary.

The new sensor can detect increases in NO one day before an acute asthma attack occurs. Over the past few years, medical researchers and health insurance companies have recognized that NO levels are an effective indication of an impending asthma attack. In the analysis of a patient’s breath, the system first converts nitrogen monoxide into nitrogen dioxide, after which the air flows across the actual sensor. Only the particles signaling the attack adhere to the sensor’s surface. This generates a voltage that is measured by a field-effect transistor. The intensity of the voltage is directly dependent on the amount of nitrogen monoxide in the patient’s breath. On the basis of this value, the patient can decide what dose of anti-inflammatory medication he or she should take. Another type of breath sensor under consideration would allow athletes to check whether they are exercising enough to burn fat. The detection principle is the same, except that the system measures the level of acetone. The latter is generated in the body when fat is burned and is also detectable in a person’s breath.

Rumour: iPhone 5 to Have No Home Button But Larger Screen

Posted: 16 Feb 2011 11:03 PM PST

According to the macworld, there will be no home button in the next generation iPhone. On the other hand Digitimes has reported that the next iPhone will sport a 4 inch screen, and an A5 processor. The rationale for a larger screen is to combat the larger displays of rival Android smartphones.

Assuming that the workspace remains of 960 × 640 pixels , Apple could increase the height of thescreen to about 1,148 × 640 pixels (more or less, of course). Current applications exploit the conventional screen area, leaving off the pixels in excess seats in the lower part of the body or showing those elements that are currently hidden are displayed when you double-click the Home button.

It may be because sources imagines the iPhone 5 to not feature the home button because of its large supportable screen as also the same feature is seen on the latest Android devices which they only rely on full touch support screen, mostly no button has found on the devices.

Google One Pass Service to Challenge Apple Subscription Service

Posted: 16 Feb 2011 09:54 PM PST

After the launch of Apple‘s subscription based serviceThe Daily“, Google has also launched it's subscription service which allows the publishers to charge for content as they like. The service is named as “One Pass“. Google One Pass is geared to kneecap Apple’s App Store subscription service for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. Publishers will keep 90 percent of sales, vs. 70 percent from Apple’s service.

From the official blog post:

With Google One Pass, publishers can customize how and when they charge for content while experimenting with different models to see what works best for them—offering subscriptions, metered access, “freemium” content or even single articles for sale from their websites or mobile apps. The service also lets publishers give existing print subscribers free (or discounted) access to digital content. We take care of the rest, including payments technology handled via Google Checkout.

Google One Pass allows readers to purchase newspapers and magazines from publishers using a single sign-on with an e-mail account and password. Publishers can offer subscriptions, metered access, and other custom content from their Websites or mobile applications. Google Checkout processes One Pass payments.

One Pass publishers collect 90 percent of sales on every transaction. Google’s 10 percent cut is one-third of the 30 percent transaction fee Apple is charging for its App Store subscription billing service, available for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

In Apple’s App Store, publishers must offer users the chance to buy content in the application at the same price the digital content is offered elsewhere online. This move, the latest in a string of stringent Apple content policies, is sparking concerns among content developers.

Google has designed One Pass so that publishers can maintain direct relationships with their customers, which means they command all the data on subscribers who sign up through One Pass.

Moreover, publishers authenticate existing subscribers so that readers don’t have to re-subscribe to consume their content on, for example, a just-purchased Motorola Xoom tablet computer.

Watch the video embedded below to know more about Google One Pass.
