Air-tech Items

Hydroelectricity has been a keyword in the latest energy industry, promising free electricity emissions produced by the power of moving water. Strength of the tidal farm could be a major source of sustainable resources in the future, but less powerful body of water, batteries and even a vehicle that already exists. Recently, advances in technology have produced a variety of objects hydropower with water-powered design.

1.Bedol Water-Powered Alarm Clock
Bring your alarm clock anywhere and do not worry about whether there are resources? you just need to use the remaining water in the glass on the table. You fill the tank with water or lemon zest, which makes it run more efficiently. Clock even has a memory function that save time when you switch out the water, so you do not need to reset.





2.Batteries Powered by Water – or Urine
NoPoPo - which stands for non polution battery power is a Japanese brand that can be run using almost all liquids, including urine. That may sound strange, but in emergency situations when you do not have water to spare, can be very useful. These batteries will not last forever - the life cycle of about 3-5 charges and they are only available in Japan, but they have a pretty neat concept.

Tesla Coil


Tesla coil, named after the inventor Nikola Tesla, born an ethnic Serb in the village of Smiljan, in the Austrian Empire, Tesla was a subject of the Austrian Empire by birth and later became an American citizen. Some research Nikola Tesla was associated with high voltage electricity transmission without cables, and according to history he disappeared mysteriously.

Tesla coil produces voltage function is very high, and because the shape and nature of this rather miraculous, it is so well known.

Rubbed His Eyes Is Dangerous

When touching the eyes, the eyelids will experience increased pressure. The lighting is too harsh pressure less than vigorously rubbed his eyes that could put pressure 3 to 5 times greater than normal pressure.

In the case of rubbed his eyes, there was a combination effect of closed eyes and rubbed his eyes the power that could increase the pressure even higher. Rubbed vigorously to increase the pressure up to 10 times higher than normal pressure!

Avoid eye contact with a pillow or sleep mask may also help reduce pressure on the eye is sensitive. When rubbed his eyes could also weaken the muscles that function Levator palpebra eyelid lift, so if rubbed his eyes to make eyes look smaller or like sleepy eyes.

Normal eye pressure occurs when closing the eyes, blinked, and when a deep breath will not provide a consequence the pressure is very small and not in a long time.

To that should avoid some activities as follows:

* Sleep with downcast faces and contact with the pillow, because in these pillows could have fleas or dust that can make eye irritation.
* Rubbed his eyes, because it can make eye irritation, dry and make eye sore.
* Get down to increase the pressure, so we suggest if you read in a sitting position.

Wiping tears is the best activity by removing from the end of the eyes and minimize contact with the eyelid. And, use eye drops if it feels itchy.

Avoid rubbed his eyes as much as possible! If you feel itchy, use a tissue and wipe gently to avoid excessive contact. The most prudent step stinging eyes, check with your ophthalmologist.
