Superior Watch : Decode to Read The Time

TheFuture — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 08:43:16 +0000

Getting bored with the traditional watch ? Perhaps “Superior”, ultramodern minimalist watch can brighten your day. Superior watch is a conceptual custom made watch to fit its owner arm. This watch tells time by decoding the two rows of flush cut diamonds. The top row is for the hours and the bottom row is for the minuets. To find the hour, multiply all the unlit diamonds that come before the lit one’s by two and then you add that number to the lit ones. Superior is made from tungsten carbide with either a polished finish or a polished titanium carbide coating over the tungsten carbide, that is why it’s called “The Superior”. This watch is impractical to some people, but probably cool watch for geeks.

Russian Spacecraft Features The Thrusters and Landing Gear on Its Underside

TheFuture — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 08:59:00 +0000

This is the first look for all fellow space-geeks who want see some unique and amazing spacecraft. This spacecraft can carry four people be it cosmonauts or astronauts to moon and then again back to earth. According to some Russians, this spacecraft will be launched in 2018 or may be sooner than that and it is presently available for modification. It is absolutely safe and perfect for everyone because of its two-stage orbiter and lander design which seems same as American lunar missions.

Russian aerospace writer and graphic designer Anatoly Zak has produced artist’s renderings of the new craft based on a design released by Russian manufacturer RKK Energia at the Farnborough Air Show in the UK last week.

In some respects, the capsule resembles America’s next-generation spacecraft Orion. The 18-to-20-tonne Russian-European vehicle is designed to carry six crew into low-Earth orbit and four on missions to lunar orbit.

One of the most unusual features about the capsule appear to be the thrusters and landing gear on its underside. Mr Zak said it would use these engines to soften its landing on Earth after the fiery re-entry through our atmosphere.
