A kite submerged in water

 

California: Although we have experimented with generating electricity from kites flying in the air, we are experimenting with a kite-like swimming device that can generate electricity at the expense of giant waves.

It is called the Mint System, which can produce water not only from the oceans, but also from the waves of rivers. The prototype (first sample) was designed by SRI International Company of California. An amount of 42 4.2 million was also provided in this regard, under which more research will be carried out over the next three years, in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley.

The whole project received a very interesting name. The project, called Submarine Hydrokinetic and Riverine Klwmwt Systems (Sharks), is already underway in Zurich.

Work has already been done on underwater turbines and other equipment. Compared to them, Manta is much cheaper and easier to install. If there is wildlife here, it can be easily wrapped and kept in one place. Also, due to its low weight, it is not very harmful to aquatic life.

NASA tells SpaceX to stop work on lunar lander under contract challenges

 

(Reuters) - The US space agency NASA has asked Elon Musk's SpaceX to suspend work under a lunar spacecraft deal, which is challenging rival bidders in the US government's accountability office. ۔

NASA's decision means that SpaceX will have to suspend any work specifically related to the lunar program deal until GAO expects August 4.

A SpaceX spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Earlier this month, NASA awarded SpaceX a lunar deal with billionaire Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin and defense contractor Dynamics.

The purpose of this high-profile project is to place humans on the moon for the first time since 1972.

Blue Origin filed a protest with the GAO on Monday, arguing that NASA had given SpaceX a chance to reconsider its bid, but not Blue Origin.

Blue Origin also argued that the decision was to overcome SpaceX's "monopoly" in space exploration.

The GAO confirmed that Dynamics has also challenged SpaceX to a NASA contract award.

"As a result of the GAO's protests, NASA instructed SpaceX that progress on the HLS (Human Landing System) agreement has been suspended until the GAO achieves this," the agency said Friday. Does not resolve all outstanding litigation. "

The founder of Telegram, PowerDorov, announced on his official Telegram channel that the platform was finally getting a group video calling feature next month, as well as supporting web-based video conferencing. He also explained how he would add "video dimension" to his voice chats in May, a feature that would make Telegram an even more powerful platform for group video calls.

Other features that will come with group calls and screen sharing include encryption noise cancellation and support for desktop and tablet. Although Telegram is known for advancing new features faster than its predecessors, it backed down when it came to introducing the group chat feature.

ElonMusk and, Bezos collide after SpaceX wins moon landing contract

 

(Reuters) - Blue Origin, the space rocket company backed by billionaire Jeff Bezos, is formally challenging NASA's $ 2.9 billion lunar landing contract to rival Elon Musk's SpaceX.

The two richest men in the world have been fighting in a fierce global space dispute, disputing contracts with government agencies and companies.

Blue Origin said on Monday that it filed a protest to the Federal Government Accountability Office, accusing NASA of moving the beams to bidders at the last minute.

Musk responded with a tweet that said, "I can't get it to go up (into orbit) lol."

He did not elaborate on the tweet, but pasted a screenshot of a 2019 report on Bezos revealing the Blue Origin lunar module on the same topic as Twitter.

Blue Origin lagged far behind SpaceX and the United Launch Alliance (ULA) in orbital transport, losing billions of US dollars. national security launch contracts starting in 2022. ULA is a joint venture of Boeing Co and Lockheed Martin Corp.

The company suffered another blow earlier this month when NASA awarded SpaceX the contract to build a spacecraft to take astronauts to the Moon as early as 2024, choosing Musk's company over Blue Origin and defense contractor Dynetics Inc.

The coveted project aims to put humans back on the Moon for the first time since 1972.

"NASA performed a failed acquisition for the Human Landing System program and changed the beacons at the last minute," Blue Origin said in an e-mailed statement.

"Their decision eliminates opportunities for competition, significantly restricts the supply base, and not only delays, but also jeopardizes America's return to the moon. As a result, we have filed a protest with the GAO."

Musk's SpaceX bid on its own, while Amazon.com founder Bezos ’Blue Origin partnered with Lockheed Martin Corp, Northrop Grumman Corp and Draper.

Blue Origin's presentation of the 50-page protest was previously reported by the New York Times.
