^^^ I would say that the spinning ball bearing possibly interacted aerodynamically and may have generated lift for itself. I'll be more convinced if he repeats the experiment in vacuum.

Yes, I agree with you if the experiments were conducted in the atmosphere, but they were done in vacuums. Furthermore, the experiment is repeatable with same results. Something odd is going on that mainstream scientists should look into and see if there's anything there.

China retains supercomputing crown in latest Top 500 ranking



Wondering how long The Tianhe-2 could retain this prestigious spot, remember now the USA has banned selling Intel High Performance Xeon to Chinese supercomputer dept. It may actually the better thing for China, more fund for R & D

Not bad for the price, but need to work on that speed issue.

We’re going to use the term “supercar” loosely here. In just six months, 27-year-old Chinese student and automotive tinkerer, Chen Yinxi, built an all-electric supercar for just $5,000. Top speed on this amazing machine? Just 37 mph—now you know why we’re using the term supercar so loosely.

At any rate, it’s still an amazing accomplishment. While it may not have supercar performance, it definitely has supercar looks. A long sleek body with aggressive features, an extremely low center of gravity, and Lambo doors. It’s even got a supercar-like interior, too.

But the real amazing thing about it is the aforementioned build time. It only took Chen six months to hand build this machine from the ground up. It’s not road legal, unfortunately, but he told the

that’s he’s making up a lot of his build costs by leasing it out for photo and video shoots.

As for Chen himself—he’s an industrial engineer student hoping to make an impact on the automotive industry. Looks like he’s off to a good start.

Chinese Scientists Discover New Test for Melamine

Jul 30, 2015


Melamine molecules in adulterated milk can be detected by a new Chinese test.

Scientists in China have developed a new test to detect melamine in milk and infant formula with the use of gold particles.

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Engineering Research Centre of Food Safety, both centred in Chongqing, south-west China, have devised a simple and reliable procedure to detect melamine using just gold nano-particles (AuNPs) and a UV-Vis spectrophotometer.

The researchers proved that AuNPs are easily bonded with melamine. This causes the solution to change colour from wine to purple.

The colour change can be quantitatively recorded by the UV-Vis spectrophotometer to calculate the amount of melamine simultaneously, according to the study published in the Journal of Food Quality.

The process takes about 15 minutes from start to finish and can detect melamine levels as low as two parts per million.

The speed, accuracy and simplicity of the test make it suitable for on-site or field screening of raw milk and milk products.

Melamine, which contains 66% nitrogen by mass, is an organic chemical widely used in the manufacture of plastics, adhesives, dishware and whiteboards.

Farmers and milk processors in some countries, including China, have been accused of adding melamine to milk they produce in a bid to increase its apparent protein content.

While non toxic to adults, melamine can cause kidney damage in infants. In 2008 six infants died and 300,000 fell ill in China after consuming infant formula tainted with melamine. (Irish Farmer Journal)

Fastest-Charging Electric Bus Put into Operation in East China

July 28, 2015

NINGBO, July 28 -- The world's fastest charging electric busses, with a battery that takes just 10 seconds to be fully charged, were put into operation for the first time in Ningbo on Tuesday.

The bus operates a 11-km route with 24 stops in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, local transport authorities said.

In the next three years, a total of 1,200 such buses will be used for public transport in the city, where the electric bus plant is located.

The bus recharges while stationary or while passengers get on or off, and each charge enables the bus to run for least five kilometers, according to Zhou Qinghe, president of Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive, a subsidiary of high-speed train maker CRRC.

In addition, the bus, which rolled off production line in April, consumes 30 to 50 percent less energy than other electric vehicles.

The capacitor can be charged one million times and has a 10-year life cycle.

So what are the main advantages of mobile nuclear power station ?

I think the answer is in your own question. It's mobile. You can park one of these ships anywhere in the world be it the Spratly islands or the remote areas like the Artic and not worry about electricity. You need lots of electricity for powering equipments and heavy machines for oil or other energy extraction. There are still many areas in the world with no electricity service. Especially out in the sea and remote islands.

I thought micro nuclear plant would be more feasible (i.e Spratly ) like Hyperion

They should start testing for adult milk too. All milk\ in fact, not just infant milk.
