Written by Kris Land

The Tesla Turbine is composed of discs fitted closely together to one another. Gas is directed over the turbine at high velocity. Molecular adhesion to the surface of the turbine spins it and the attached crank shaft at very high efficiency levels.

Bring out your Bike!

Summer unofficially begins in a week with Memorial Day and the solstice is on June 20th but no matter which day you chose to begin the season outdoor activities are likely involved. May is National Bike Month and the popularity of bicycling seems to have picked up speed in the last few years though some will claim it never really fell out of fashion. According to the United States Census Bureau over 38 million people like to ride their bikes but less than two percent of commuters use their bike (or other forms of transportation) to get to their place of employment. Friday was National...

National Safe Boating Week

“Lives can be saved by improving the knowledge and skills of recreational boaters,” said Virgil Chambers the executive director of National Safe Boating Council (NBSC) in a joint statement with NOAA. “Boaters can have fun and stay safe by wearing a life jacket, having the proper equipment onboard, knowing what the weather conditions will be, and abstaining from alcohol while boating.” NOAA noted that in 2011 the U.S. Coast Guard reported more than 4,000 boating accidents including 758 deaths. Seventy percent of the deaths were due to drowning and in that statistic eighty-four...

Don't Miss this Eclipse Tomorrow!

Tomorrow, unless a fog rolls in off the Pacific Ocean, an eclipse will be completely visible and partially visible in parts of California and portions of the Southwest. The annular eclipse is expected to be seen by residents in parts of Eastern Asia and partially visible in the North Pacific, North America and Greenland as well according to NASA. Sadly, vast swaths of the country won’t even sneak a peek- the poor East Coast is left out of this eclipse. During this annular eclipse the moon will not completely block out the sun but will cover most of it and leave a ring of light or...

Friday Creature Feature: Coal Turtle

There was once a turtle so large, they say it was the size of a Smart car and that if it had wanted it could have eaten a small crocodile. That’s what paleontologists from North Carolina State University have concluded in a paper recently published about the discovery of 60 million year old fossil they call Carbonemys. In 2005 Edward Cadena, a doctoral student from the university, discovered the turtle’s fossilized remains in a coal mine in present-day Colombia. It lived 5 million years after the dinosaurs disappeared and according to the article it lived amongst other giant...

Chicken Little May have had a Point After All

Why did the chicken cross the road? He was going to give you the answer but he didn’t think you were listening. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Georgia are studying “avian expressiveness” and they think all those squawking birds may be trying to tell us something. "Many poultry professionals swear they can walk into a grow-out house and tell whether a flock is happy or stressed just by listening to the birds vocalize," Wayne Daley, a principal research scientist from the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) told Rick Robinson from the...
