New technology will make you invisible to radar drones

Home Drones are a novelty, and obviously there are many people who believe that these robots could impact your privacy. To end this problem, a company proposes a solution by which our house will remain undetectable for drones. The company is known as Domestic Drone Countermeasures .

Domestic engineers say Drone Countermeasures have invented a technology secret that enables anyone to make sure your home is invisible to the drones. The technology does not affect the drone about to destroy it or has it fall to the ground, but it will do is mess up your ability to track us.

Did you know that most laser pointers are illegal?

Legend has it that there was a time when laser pointers were used mostly to mark blackboards and similar things. Today, pointers are used mainly to distract cats and other activities as point them to the cinema screen or annoy a goalkeeper during a football match. There are even some that can leave us blind in an instant and / or burn skin.

At least in the U.S., much of the laser pointers are illegal because it exceeded the power limits allowed. A study reveals that 90% of green laser pointers over the limit and 40% of the red pointers do too. Overall, only 25% of the pointers can be considered legal .

Why is so important the whole thing? Because these small devices can really leave us blind, not to mention the various legal matters that can be given as to target them to the aircraft, which was banned last year.

We must be careful when using one of these. Remember to use it only to guide a PowerPoint or similar tasks.

This optical fiber transfers data at nearly the speed of light

The optical fiber is very rapid, indeed, is faster than any other type of connection when data is transferred. At the University of Southampton , UK, has been created an optical fiber unusual. It is a hollow fiber having air inside and is capable of transferring data at nearly the speed of light . More precisely, fails to reach 99.7% of that speed.

To give us an idea, this transfer rate is about 10 terabytes per second. Exactly, 10TB / s, ie about 1000 times faster than the best optical fibers found in the market today.

You probably already have heard before about the hollow optical fiber cables. The idea has been around for a while but always detected data loss when wires must make a curve. People at the University of Southampton has managed to minimize the loss of data and has a transfer at lightning speeds.

We should not get excited yet. This connection will be available to us recently in several years.Initially is expected to be used in data centers and governmental and scientific supercomputers.
