Inventor James Bruton Builds a Working Mobius Strip Tank with a Twistable Tread System

James Bruton Mobius Strip Tank
Inventor James Bruton built a working Mobius strip tank for his latest project, and for those unfamiliar with the term, it basically refers to a one-sided surface with no boundaries that looks like an infinite loop. In tank form, this meant creating a twistable tread system with each link being able to rotate 18°, and despite how it looks, the system functions like any other.



After some planning, Bruton settled on 3D printing each piece separately, thus if a replacement is needed, it can be easily done without having to reprint the entire thing. Other parts used include an Arduino Mega development board, a pair of 24V gear motors to drive each tread independently, BTS7960 DC motor drivers, and an RC radio receiver.

Humane AI Pin Launched, Has Integrated Camera and All-New Operating System

Humane AI Pin Launched, Has Integrated Camera and All-New Operating System

Humane AI Pin Launch
After months of previews, the Humane AI pin has been launched, and you’ll be able to get one starting November 16th, priced at $699 USD. Users will be able to speak to it naturally, use the intuitive touchpad, hold up objects, gestures, or interact using the pioneering Laser Ink Display projected onto your palm.



Its screenless user interface seamlessly blends into the background, while bringing the power of AI to you in multi-modal and seamless ways. An all-new operating system, Cosmos, combines intelligent technologies with intuitive interaction as well as advanced security. The device is powered by the Qualcomm AI Engine, complete with an ultra-wide RGB camera, depth sensor and motion sensors. A $24 per month Humane Subscription includes a dedicated cell phone number for your Ai Pin, unlimited talk / text / data, and cloud storage.

Humane AI Pin Launch

Ai Pin is the embodiment of our vision to integrate AI into the fabric of daily life, enhancing our capabilities without overshadowing our humanity. We are proud to finally unveil what we and the team at Humane have been working on for the past four years. For us, Ai Pin is just the beginning,” said Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, Co-Founders, Humane.

NASA’s Advanced Electric Propulsion System (AEPS) Gives Off Blue Hue in Latest Test

NASA’s Advanced Electric Propulsion System (AEPS) Gives Off Blue Hue in Latest Test

NASA Advanced Electric Propulsion System (AEPS) Test
NASA’s Advanced Electric Propulsion System (AEPS) gave off an eerie blue hue during its latest test inside a vacuum chamber at the Glenn Research Center in Cleveland. This 12-kilowatt Hall thruster is currently the most powerful electric propulsion thruster in production, and will eventually be used by NASA for missions to the Moon and beyond.

What is causing the blue plume? Scientifically speaking, the blue plume is actually a steady stream of ionized xenon gas ejected to produce a low, yet highly efficient, thrust. If a spacecraft were to be equipped with AEPS, it theoretically could accelerate spacecraft to extremely high speeds over time using only a fraction of the fuel chemical propulsion systems require, making it perfect for deep space exploration.
