Transfora: Your tool to becoming a sustainable New Yorker by Chloe Arenzana Du Boys

"Leading a sustainable lifestyle in metropolitan cities has become much harder to accomplish because of inconvenience, social constructs and difficulty in changing hard-wired habits. Transfora is a sustainability hub in New York City that provides its users with tools that help provide the essentials to live more sustainably in the city.

"Through a personalised immersive learning experience and a sustainable indoor market, users can learn and engage in eco-conscious actions that they can then easily implement into their lifestyles. It creates a community of 'green citizens' that support, motivate and help each other in their journey towards a sustainable lifestyle."

In'terminal: Reunion District by James K. Jung

"In'terminal is a multi-modal transit hub that embodies the transformative power of architecture in the creation and evolution of the built environment. The project aims to redefine the streets not only as spaces in-between but as places to promote social interaction and refuge. It seeks to promote a sustainable urban lifestyle by transforming an abandoned parking garage into social infrastructure.

"By reconciling mobility as the public realm prioritising social capital, In'terminal adopts placemaking strategies layered in rich shared spaces where a community becomes the domain of many – a common network – woven with empathy to unify social identity and a sense of belonging."

Student: James K. Jung Course: Master of Architecture Email: [email protected]

Rising With the Seas by Jillian Nadolski

"This project came as the result of a quarter-long design project for PRES 480 Studio VIII: Innovative Adaptation Collaborative Practicum with Professor CT Nguyen. My design solution was developed to prompt communities to start embracing climate change. It uses the industrial port of Porto Marghera, Italy, as a catalyst.

"The project is built around the idea of 'living with water'. It asks the question: what if we can rise with the seas instead of fighting it? This radical, integrative redevelopment plan hopes to put to rest the longstanding conflict of humans vs nature."

Student: Jillian Nadolski Course: BFA Preservation Design Email: [email protected]

Fleeting Moments by Kathryn Luu

"Situated in scenic Portland (OR), on the Oregon Pacific Railway (OPR), the proposed Caper Express provides an opportunity for adults to re-experience their childlike wonderment for the Polar Express anew through live 'theatrical dinner' mysteries. By repurposing OPR's defunct trains, adults can take part in immersive storytelling shows tailored to them. It's these fleeting moments that will linger as lifelong memories while the rest fade to grey."

Student: Kathryn Luu Course: BFA Preservation Design Email: [email protected]

Exploring the emerging Potentials Of Urban Infrastructure - The Hyperloop Urban Hub by Pranav A Ghadashi

"The future is bright, uncompromising and unstoppable! Technology is progressing at accelerating rates. Cities are experiencing a resurgence in population growth, which in turn is pushing transport systems to expand and improve.

"The thesis intends to design a portal that will introduce a new paradigm of transport, reconfigure the urban infrastructure and the mental mapping of a city and thus reshape our habitual understanding of distance and proximity.

"It proposes a hyperloop station that reconfigures the concept of 'regional becoming the new local'. It embraces the potential of transport and explores innovative sustainable strategies integrating the natural environment and urban functions."

Student: Pranav A Ghadashi Course: Master Of Architecture Email: [email protected]

The Nodal Connector, Incubator for the FinTech industry by Preethi Chitharanjan

"Nodal Connector is an incubator for the financial technology industry. It is a space dedicated to the development of the industry driven by diverse users and technology. The incubator is designed in the fast-growing city of Atlanta, Georgia.

"The nodal connector acts as a catalyst for research and workspaces, with the core idea to connect, collaborate and conserve through primary, secondary and tertiary interactions that influence spatial planning.

"These ideas are the macro, micro and nano-scale networking that happen with diverse users while also attracting the local neighbourhood. The project facilitates a collaborative approach in education, community-driven, professionals and corporate employees while prioritising creators."

Student: Preethi Chitharanjan Course: Master of Architecture Email: [email protected]

The Portal - Redefining the water transit of the city by stitching the land to the water by Sanjana Sanjay Vadhavkar

"This thesis aims to observe the decline in water-based travel in Mumbai and design a solution to the problem. To revitalise the essential industry for Mumbai, creating a water transit hub would reduce the load on other modes of transportation and transform the water-based industry in the city, bringing a new mode of transportation to Mumbai.

"To bring back the missing identity of a port city, the city plans to redevelop Mumbai's eastern waterfront. In addition to the proposal, this thesis seeks to bring about a change through architecture by resolving the current problems and proposing a terminal that will cope with the city's increasing population demands and give the region a renewed identity. It will be an epitome and a means for the city's potential water transport."

Student: Sanjana Sanjay Vadhavkar Course: Master of Architecture Email: [email protected]

Area 10: The Last Nuclear Bomb Memorial by Sophie Ribeiro

"As part of the Nevada Testing Site, Yucca Flat was the host for over 900 bomb tests. As a result, a crater on the site – Sedan Crater – is 300 feet deep and 1,150 in diameter. Sedan is the proposed site for the Area Ten Interpretation + Research Centre.

"Area Ten will inform people of nuclear war and the consequences of it on humanity and nature through learning spaces that use exhibitions, viewing points and atomic gardening – the study of plants that can grow from the radioactivity of the land.

"The goal is for visitors to leave with an understanding of the site's history and an awareness of the importance of peace."

Student: Sophie Ribeiro Course: BFA Architecture Email: [email protected]

+ by Tasha Akemah

"Almost a century ago, we thought that nuclear weapons were the solution for world peace, but history tells us otherwise. The detonation that ended world war two set humanity for a new course that would determine the future; our present.

"Currently, humanity is facing a similar war, except this time we have to fight it together. This project asks for repent against the crime that society has done to itself by offering hope. The architecture is composed of a series of experiences divided between the structure and the memorial.

"While the structure serves as a church that would house the procession, the memorial offers salvation. The main structure offers a diving facility, and the memorial will restore endangered coral reefs in the area. The war that we were fighting a hundred years ago may have different causes, but both were fighting for the same objective: humanity."

Student: Tasha Akemah Course: BFA Architecture and BFA Architectural History Email: [email protected]

Hiraeth by Teddy Breedlove

"Hiraeth is a collection of furniture designed for the high-end luxury market. The pandemic has made the home the centre of our lives again. It has become a place for personal expression and function.

"As a result, trends have begun to change from a minimalistic approach towards a more ostentatious design language. Hiraeth is contemporary in design language featuring soft curves, ribbing and a neutral colour palette. It brings a breath of fresh air into the home while keeping your soul at peace."

Student: Teddy Breedlove Course: BFA Furniture Design Email: [email protected]

Interwoven by Tingxin (TX) Zheng

"Under the business strategy of fast-fashion brands, disposable clothing is part of a trend toward fast fashion. Consumers start throwing away the old items they owned and moving on to the next trend quickly.

"Interwoven is a multi-functional space for exhibition, experience, retail, communication that connects to people's memories and clothes. It aims to bring the diluted awareness of cherishing clothing back to the people to drive the rebirth of old garments, promote sustainable fashion and inform the community about the increasingly negative effects of fast fashion."

Student: Tingxin (TX) Zheng Course: BFA Interior Design Email: [email protected]

Isabela Island: Infrastructure for Tourism and Conservation by Zhiying Deng

"The proposal is based on the analysis of the Galapagos Isabela Island's mangrove forests and the status of tourism on the island. It aims to provide tourists with a better chance to experience the island's natural resources while not disturbing its species.

"Paths and boat routes are designed within the mangrove forests to allow visitors to experience different mangrove zones and watch species within the habitat while other mangroves are conserved. The design also responds to the climate change and sea-level rise."

In Sweden’s Far North, a Space Complex Takes Shape KIRUNA, Sweden — The path to the reindeer herder’s spring home took him across four frozen lakes and countless snowy hilltops. Arriving to a light dusting of snow, the herder, Aslak Allas, switched off his snowmobile, and the overwhelming silence of Sweden’s Arctic settled in. His reindeer, thousands of them, were nowhere to be seen. “They are very scared of noise,” Mr. Allas, explained, pointing to his vehicle. He then motioned toward the distant hills dotted with birch trees, their buds swelling with the warming spring sun. “Now, the noise coming from there, that will be something else,” Mr. Allas sighed. That noise is expected to arrive with a roar next year, when Sweden is scheduled to complete construction of a rocket-launching complex in the frozen lands north of the Arctic Circle and jump into the commercial space race, the first country in Europe to do so. With the crystal-clear air of the Arctic night and a decent telescope, it’s easy to pick out some of the thousands of shoebox-size commercial satellites orbiting the earth. Their numbers are set to explode in the coming decade, powered by the use of light, reusable rockets developed by innovative U.S. companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX. He and several competitors are planning to send up to 50,000 such satellites into space in coming years, compared with fewer than 3,000 out there now. While the United States, China, Russia and several other countries already have spaceports, Sweden’s would be the first orbital launch site for satellites in Europe — capable of launching spacecraft into orbit around Earth or on interplanetary trajectories. Currently, the intergovernmental European Space Agency launches its traditional single-use Ariane rockets from French Guiana. Several private European companies are designing spaceports in Europe to host a new generation of smaller rockets. Portugal is looking into building one on the Azores Islands, two remote sites have been allocated in Britain and Norway is upgrading its Andoya Space Center. But none are as far along as Sweden, which is transforming an old Arctic space research center into a complex featuring several new pads for orbital launches and landings. The Esrange Space Center will be a testing ground for Europe’s first reusable vertical rocket in 2022, and it can conduct engine tests as well. In 1972, the Swedish government took over the base from the European Space Agency, which no longer needed it. For decades, the Swedes hired out the site for smaller, slower research rockets, satellite ground-control services and the launching of stratospheric balloons. But with the commercial space race promising new revenue, the government-owned Swedish Space Corporation, which manages the site, is offering launch services to private ventures wishing to send satellites into space. “We are a bit of a unicorn in the space business,” said Philip Pahlsson, vice president for strategy and innovation of the Swedish Space Corporation, referring to the government ownership of the site. “But we do plan on being the awesomest company in the government’s portfolio.” Esrange shares a landing zone that is more than 2,000 square miles — more than twice the size of Rhode Island — with a local population of mostly bears, wolves, reindeer and a handful of herders like Mr. Allas. If a launch should fail, it would be highly unlikely to cause any damage to human settlements. For certain satellites — those launched into polar orbits — an Arctic location offers key advantages. These orbits, passing over the North and South Poles, are ideal for Earth-observing satellites, because as the Earth rotates, the entire surface of the planet passes underneath. And it takes less energy to launch to a polar orbit from higher latitudes. With the space market growing fast, the Europeans increasingly need launching sites for smaller rockets carrying smaller satellites, experts say. “Europe really needs to build infrastructure to get to space,” said Stefan Gustafsson, a senior vice president at the Swedish Space Corporation, in an interview at its Stockholm headquarters. “We can provide a proper space base.” That base lies close to Kiruna, Sweden’s northernmost city and home to the largest underground iron ore mine in the world. It is so huge, in fact, that several neighborhoods are being moved, as the city is slowly sinking into the excavated caverns below. A 50-foot rocket stands at one of the main intersections, a testament to Sweden’s space ambitions. Space is woven into the fabric of the city. The Swedish Institute of Space Physics is based in Kiruna, as is the Space High School for gifted teenagers. The space engineering program at Lulea University of Technology, also in Kiruna, attracts Ph.D. students from across Europe. An enormous satellite receiver dish, sticking out from the woods in a vast white valley, serves as a geographical landmark. Esrange has many of the attributes of other space ports — high fences and warning signs, and some used rockets on display. But it also has a church, a visitor center and the Aurora hotel, named for the northern lights that color the winter skies. Snow is everywhere, of course, and reindeer roam the terrain (no one knows how they get past the fences), but astronauts and moon landers are nowhere to be found. Leading a tour of the grounds, Mr. Pahlsson became slightly agitated when a photographer began snapping pictures. “We have contracts,” he said. “Some of our customers don’t like their equipment to be photographed.” The launchpads for the orbital rockets, mostly piles of construction equipment and materials at this point, are rising four miles from the central site. Pointing at a pile of sand during a tour of the grounds, Mr. Pahlsson said this was the site of their future “launch-vehicle integration building.” By the end of next year, he said, they hoped to use the launch site to test Europe’s first reusable rocket, called Themis, after an ancient Greek Titaness who was the personification of divine order. On this day, the main activity consisted of engine testing by two fiercely competitive German space start-ups, Rocket Factory Augsburg and ISAR Aerospace Technologies. “You can actually call me a rocket scientist,” said Josef Fleischmann, 30, one of three founders of ISAR. In 2017, he and fellow students won an award by building the fastest pod in Elon Musk’s competition for ultra-high-speed transport in hyperloop, or travel in a vacuum tube. That caught the attention of Bulent Altan, a former vice president at Space X, who decided to back Mr. Fleischmann and his friends. “Now, we have $100 million in investments and we are building rockets.” “The location seems remote, but for space this is the place to be,” said Rene Laufer, a professor of space technology at Lulea University of Technology. “Also, you don’t want to test rockets in your own backyard.” So far, Esrange has not elicited criticism from environmentalists, but that could change. Solid rocket fuel can leave a heavy carbon foot print, and liquid fuels pose a threat of toxicity. The exhaust clouds that form after liftoff and during flight are also concerns. Sweden’s space minister, Matilda Ernkrans, in an interview said that she expected the base to play a key role in helping to map global climate change. Back at his modest dwelling, Mr. Allas, the reindeer herder, would second that notion, and he is planning to do something about it, even if his backyard is one of the few not attached one way or another to the space industry. Mr. Allas is more than a man with a snowmobile and lots of reindeer. He is chairman of the Talma sameby, one of the larger Sami districts in Sweden. The Sami are the last Indigenous people of Europe and live in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Russia. In 2019, after an appeal by his district, Mr. Allas managed to block some of the expansion plans for the base, and now his sights are set on the coming noise pollution. “They might say we need to launch or else we lose our customers, but reindeer herding has been around here long as you can imagine,” Mr. Allas said, adding that a legal battle seemed inevitable. “For us, the Space Corporation is the oldest intruder of our lands, but we have much older rights.” Source link Orbem News #complex #North #shape #Space #Swedens #Takes

Top 5 Industries Providing Massive Returns Over the Next 5 Years

When Eileen Lee is a founder of Cowboy Ventures and one of the best investors in Silicon Valley, published an article on unicorns (privately-held companies with a valuation exceeding $1 Billion), she estimated there were around 39 unicorns at the time. That article was over five years ago, and as of today, there are over 300 unicorns.

Markets move fast, and we can turn our focus on these massive consumer and technological needs and trends that are presenting themselves.

If the unicorn movement changed that drastically in the last five years — imagine where we will be in the next five years. As the leaders of Web 2.0 have gone public and the leaders of the sharing economy have reached unicorn status; big questions about the future hang in the balance.

What industries will continue to grow at significant rates? Which new markets or technologies will burst onto the scene? Where will be value created, captured and capitalized upon?

Massive market opportunities for businesses and benefits for consumers are coming into play at an unprecedented rate.

There are plenty of significant markets that provide ample opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs. This list highlights five industries that will see a massive boom in the next five years.

CBD (Cannabidiol Oil)

CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in hemp the cannabis plant. This safe, non-addictive compound is extracted and distributed as oils, candy, tinctures, and topical creams. The compound is added to many more palatable and easily digestible forms for consumption. The market is exploding and stands to be the next multi-billion dollar wellness and health trend.

Why is CBD so popular? The list of purported health benefits from the full-spectrum CBD is astounding.

The health list includes insomnia, anxiety, epilepsy, inflammation, brain injuries, arthritis, diabetes, neurological disorders, cancer, acne, and other significant health issues.

Walgreens and CVS are two of the major companies set to bring CBD products to consumers. While the multi-nationals are positioning for distribution, small businesses are fighting to establish themselves as the top brands in CBD.

Vitalibis, a wellness company is offering full-spectrum CBD oil and soothing creams.

This company has differentiated themselves by pioneering an advanced extraction process that safely extracts the CBD benefits with steam. They have worked tirelessly preserving the CBD compounds, additional cannabinoids and essential phytonutrients. The result is a full-spectrum CBD oil, which research suggests provides greater effectiveness than isolated CBD.

Other cannabis companies and startups are moving quickly to own their slice of the market.

Expect to see massive growth in all areas of the industry — from seed to customer. Also, the recent declassification of CBD from the Schedule 1 drug list will provide research experts and testing authorities a significant source of opportunities to contribute to the wellbeing of individuals. Contributions will continue in medical fieldstudies, and ample business community committments will grow.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI’s compounded annual growth rate is projected by UBS to be 20 percent from 2015 to 2020 already. The potential benefits extend well beyond 2020 as this industry is just getting started.

Artificial Intelligence has the potential to permeate nearly every facet of our lives, including CBD.

We have seen AI infuse almost every industry, from Tesla’s autonomous-driving vehicles to Google’s smart-home assistants. We have witnessed AI in surgery-performing robots and mental health chatbots. AI is already demonstrating its potential, and it seems there are indeed no limits when combining other technologies with the possibility of AI.

The demand for AI professional is exploding.

Indeed reported that the percent of searches using “AI” or “machine learning” increased by over 180 percent. There’s no question that workforce demand is an excellent indicator of what’s to come in the future. As AI continues to evolve and find adoption, opportunities will increase for employees, entrepreneurs and businesses.

Blockchain and Digital Currencies

Two years ago, digital currencies experienced a massive bubble that drove prices and hysteria through the roof. In 2018, investor sentiment cooled off significantly as prices plummeted back to earth.

While some people have entirely written off blockchain and digital currencies, the story will more likely turn out similarly to the tech boom and bust of the dot com era.

Now in 2019, blockchain has been leveled by the bubble bursting.

As the dust settles, the best projects will survive and benefit from consolidated talent and investment, while also benefitting from the infrastructure and consumer awareness built during the bubble.

In the next few years, don’t be surprised to see blockchain technologies and digital currencies enter new markets and find real adoption amongst businesses and consumers. Many projects are aligned with real market leaders, and several projects are ready to become the first widely-adopted blockchain platforms.

The potential for blockchain is as limitless as the internet itself. Entrepreneurs, companies, and investors watching and staying on top of the blockchain market will be the winners at the forefront of trends.

The market moves quickly, so it’s important to subscribe to a cryptocurrency news service, listen to podcasts and educate yourself as much as possible.

Internet of Things (IoT)

Smart home products and IoT technology have already made considerable progress in terms of adoption. Consumer products like Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Nest Cam have achieved significant commercial success.

Platforms like Works with Xfinity (Comcast) and Alarm.com bring a fine-tuned cohesive user experiences to customers. This success is impressive, and yet the market has much room to grow with a capacity for other players to make their mark in this space.

The first primary reason there is room in the sandbox is because the Internet of Things is versatile.

In addition to new products and advancing technology in the smart home, the most significant opportunities for the next five years will be in enterprise IoT, industrial IoT and smart cities.

The second primary reason for IoT’s exponential growth is because it falls at the convergence of many significant trends.

When are you beginning your smart life?

Artificial intelligence and machine learning will make smart home and IoT technologies even better. The convergence of smart cars, smart homes, smart offices, smart cities, smart apartments, smartphones, and wearables will result in a “smart life” that will continue to grow and evolve over the next five years.

Micromobility

There is a revolution happening in transportation, and it isn’t Lyft ridesharing or the Hyperloop. This revolution is based on micro-mobility, and is being led by the scooter movement. McKinsey estimates that the United States market could be worth over $200 Billion by 2030.

Micromobility is the term that describes a wave of new technologies and solutions that help people travel short distances.

These technologies are efficient, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly ways to get from one venue to another.

The scooter boom has already started with startups like Bird, Lime, Skip, Grin, and Spin — placing scooters on the sidewalks of dozens of cities in the United States. Bird has a valuation of over $2 Billion, and Ford purchased Spin for around $100 Million. Bird and Lime have both raised above $400M in less than three years.

At the time of this writing, micromobility startups with profitable business models are clashing with cities and municipal regulations.

However, once regulatory hurdles clear, expect more scale from these startups. The obvious opportunity is to own the brand recognition and drive adoption as Uber and Lyft did with ridesharing.

There are also ample opportunities to help cities and governments with their own solutions by providing mapping, data, and fleet management solutions. Startups and tech companies will clammer to market with infinite, valuable solutions — releasing practical and relevant bits of help and assistance to the public and their customers.

Conclusion

Success goes to the individuals, entrepreneurs and businesses who can identify markets before they reach saturation levels. These five industries are positioned well to grow significantly in the next five years.

No doubt we are seeing the creation of new opportunities for consumers and entrepreneurs alike. Taking notice now will leave future founders and leaders poised for gain and growth in these — and many other invaluable industries.

No jetpacks. Zero flying cars. Where is the future we were promised?

New Post has been published on https://nexcraft.co/no-jetpacks-zero-flying-cars-where-is-the-future-we-were-promised/

No jetpacks. Zero flying cars. Where is the future we were promised?

Jetpacks and flying cars might seem more at home parked in the pages of sci-fi novels (and, uh, some magazines) than in your garage. In 1924, PopSci predicted that airborne autos were just 20 years away, but that wide-eyed optimism wasn’t without reason: Inventors have been tinkering their way toward revolutionary transit for more than a century. The Hyperloop’s ancestry starts in the 1870s. Cruise control debuted in the 1950s. The first air-car prototypes took flight in the same decade. And, in the ’60s, Bell Labs prototyped jet-powered backpacks. These modes of future commuting are still navigating mass-market expectations: Is it safe? Reliable? Cheap? Here’s a realistic assessment of our people-moving dreams.

Flying cars

What’s the holdup?

The point of flying cars is convenience: to go up and over traffic instead of sitting in it. That means the craft’s propulsion technology must be powerful enough to soar, but also safe, quiet, and nimble enough to land in a suburban driveway.

While startups have developed clever flight schemes, none has found the happy medium between auto and airplane. Silicon Valley company Opener has a single-seater that takes off vertically using eight rotors, but the contraption has no wheels, which means it is more like a personal helicopter than a road-ready rover. Boston-area startup Terrafugia makes the Transition, a two-seat vehicle with folding wings. With its fins deployed, it can fly up to 400 miles at altitudes of 9,000 feet. But there’s a catch: In order to take off, you need a runway.

RELATED: The most exciting aerospace innovations of 2018

Even when the tech comes together, red tape could keep cars grounded. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Federal Aviation Administration have to clear flying autos. Michael Hirschberg, of the Vertical Flight Society engineering consortium, says approval is at least a decade away. Terrafugia is the closest to finishing its paperwork, and Opener has clearance in Canada only.

Concepts & prototypes

We may not have mass-market flying cars yet, but we’ve been working out the kinks for decades.

1949: Although the precursor to the FAA certified Moulton Taylor’s Aerocar as safe to fly, it never entered production. Makes sense: The driver had to affix a propeller and 15-foot wings before taking flight.

2000: Paul Moller’s M400 Skycar figured prominently in our March 2000 magazine. The single-seat machine flew on the strength of four fans and could “take off from your backyard.” It still hasn’t landed.

2018: The Uber Air multi-rotor flyer vertically takes off and lands. The company aims to deploy fleets of air taxies in L.A. and Dallas in 2020, but the vehicles will be restricted to specific launch zones in the cities.

Promising technologies

1. Better batteries Flying cars need to run on electricity, lest their engine noise rattle suburbanites. But today’s best cells—such as the lithium-ion phosphate ones Terrafugia uses—have just 2 percent of the energy density of fuel. Most startups add more packs, but that loads weight onto things that need to hover. The leap for air sedans will be a battery tech called solid-state. Solids can take higher temps, and hotter batteries tote more energy. Trouble is, nobody’s made one that can hold a charge.

2. More power Vertical takeoff makes the most sense for airborne autos cars. However, using a single motor or engine to hoist a chassis plus passengers would devour energy. For its upcoming Nexus hybrid craft, Bell Aerosystems is borrowing an efficient liftoff scheme popularized by drones: quadrotors. In the setup, multiple props both share the load and help stabilize the craft. A planned air taxi from Uber will take off the same way, then cruise aloft fixed wings.

Hyperloop

What’s the holdup?

Hyperloop capsules zoom at the speed of sound along magnetic rails through underground pneumatic tubes. Or as Elon Musk tweeted during his 2013 unveiling: “A cross between a Concorde and a rail gun.”

Musk anticipated his ambitious idea would have a greater chance at success if several groups worked on it concurrently, so he made the project open-source. Also helpful: Versions of the requisite hardware were already out there. Electric motors will send the capsules down aluminum tracks, magnets will provide levitation, and bunches of conventional vacuum pumps will suck all the air out of Hyperloop tunnels to create a nigh-frictionless atmosphere.

The biggest physical challenge is digging the passageways, though it’s more a financial woe than a technical one. Musk’s venture for this grunt work, the Boring Company, quotes each mile of tunnel at $1 billion, but that might be a lowball: Consider that New York City spent $2.5 billion per mile to build its Second Avenue subway line.

Hyerloop projects have also had false starts. The Boring Company scrapped plans in West LA rather than chew through a legal dispute with locals. Yet some companies are optimistic. Hyperloop Transportation Technologies will break ground in China and the United Arab Emirates this year, and CEO Dirk Ahlborn is already talking launch dates. Ebullience is good, but we still haven’t seen so much as a test run.

Concepts & prototypes

The dream of zippy commutes through underground vacuum tubes is nearly 150 years old.

1870: Inventor Alfred Ely Beach earned a patent for his Pneumatic Transit tech, which got power from large fans at opposite ends of buried vacuum tubes. He secretly built a demo tunnel in New York City.

1970: The Tracked Hovercraft was supposed to cut the trip from London to Edinburgh to 90 minutes. Oscillating magnetic fields would have allowed the abandoned concept to zip at 100 mph or more.

2010: Max Schlienger’s Vectorr train floats along magnetic tracks, powered by air pressure from vacuum pumps. He’s got a one-sixth-scale model running through his Napa, California, vineyard.

Promising Technologies

1. Crafty levitation Hyperloops will float above the tracks via levitation schemes like Inductrack rails. Rather than relying on two sets of repelling magnets to lift a capsule, the setup arranges one group on the bottom of the train at right angles—a matrix called a Halbach array—and places wire coils in the rails. At low speeds, motors slide capsules along the track. At about 45 mph, an electromagnetic field between the car and coils forms, raising the train.

2. Real vibranium Regularly traveling at Mach 1 would cause many materials to buckle or crack. Instead, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies covers its capsules in a patented composite it calls Vibranium. (Yes, just like the fictional ore that powers Wakanda in Black Panther.) Not only is the carbon-fiber-based compound 10 times stronger than steel, it’s also one-fifth the weight. Plus, sensors laced throughout check structural integrity.

Jetpacks

What’s the holdup?

In 1958, Popular Science predicted humankind’s “age-old dream of flying like a bird…may be nearer than we think.” Within three decades, jetpack test pilot William Suitor hovered over the opening ceremony of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Even so, our prediction was a bit overblown: Suitor’s moment of glory—bogged down by inefficiency and 120 pounds of kit—lasted 20 seconds.

Jetpacks have inched toward liftoff since Suitor’s stunt. His model used pressurized hydrogen peroxide for fuel, while today’s rocket suits rely on more-efficient kerosene or diesel to fly for 10 to 20 minutes. But modern crafts have made only marginal leaps on other issues. Being literal rockets, the packs are noisy; Suitor’s belt screeched at 130 decibels, and Jetpack Aviation’s current model is a slightly muffled 120 decibels. They’re heavy too. The machine Jetpack Aviation CEO David Mayman used to buzz the Statue of Liberty in 2015 is 85 pounds—better, but still crushingly large. And, even if your body can carry the weight, your wallet might collapse under the cost. Entry-level packs run around $250,000.

Concepts & prototypes

Getting jetpacks off the ground was the easy part. Keeping them aloft takes some work.

1958: The U.S. Army commissioned Project Grasshopper—a crude rocket belt—from Utah-based Thiokol Chemical Corporation. The device got one minute of flight from five canisters of nitrogen gas.

1961: Pilot Harold Graham zoomed to 112 feet wearing the Small Rocket Lift Device. Developed at Bell Aerosystems, the device’s propellant was stored in off-the-shelf air canisters.

2009: Raymond Li’s Jetlev-Flyer was the first water-powered pack to go on sale. The catch: The 30-pound rig was tethered via hose to a boat, which housed an engine to pump the water for thrust.

Promising technologies

1. Fly-by-wire control Winged vehicles steer via adjustable flaps. In the past, the systems used mechanical hardware such as pulleys and cables, but newer “fly-by-wire” tech replaces that with electric switches and motors. Crafts are lighter and nimbler, and pilots no longer need to yank cables to maneuver. Go left? Turn a stick or push a button. Martin Aircraft’s packs use the tech. “When I’m hovering, I can almost completely let go of the controls,” test pilot Paco Uybarreta says.

2. Mini motors Propelling human flight for longer than 20 seconds requires something better than pressurized fuel. Turbojets are miniaturized gas- or diesel-powered engines that generate thrust by compressing air through a turbine. Their power-to-weight ratios help trim down packs. Those on Jetpack Aviation’s suits weigh 20 pounds and generate 180 pounds of thrust—enough to put the engine, plus the added heft of fuel, flight systems, and a pilot, into the air.

Self-driving cars

What’s the holdup?

In early 2018, it seemed like autonomous cars were ready to hit public roads. Then a self-driving Uber struck and killed a woman one night in Tempe, Arizona. The incident got folks worried and also highlighted this tech’s big flaw: It cannot reliably recognize hazards in all conditions. Even an untimely glare can mess with a car’s perception.

All-the-time autonomy relies on a suite of tech. GPS tells the car the best route, while sensors—radar, lidar, and cameras—spy obstacles. An artificially intelligent computer processes those inputs to make rapid decisions: slam the brakes for a person, or go through a leaf.

Vehicles must train for hundreds of thousands of hours to learn every hazard in every condition. Automakers can log that time more quickly by putting prototypes on the road. This was Uber’s approach, but after the 2018 accident, it hit the brakes. It’s rolling out a more conservative relaunch in Pittsburgh sometime this year. Cars will drive only during the day, in clear weather, and below 25 mph. While Uber reboots, Waymo—the Google spinoff—might win the race: It’s testing in 25 cities, and launched a robo-taxi service this past December in greater Phoenix.

Still, run-anytime models are decades away. “For a car that can drive up to 65 mph in rain and snow, it will be a long time,” says Huei Peng, director of autonomous vehicle testing at the University of Michigan. Waymo’s CEO recently made a bleaker forecast: It may never happen.

Concepts & prototypes

Robots have been in driver’s ed since the midcentury, but they’re still not ready to graduate to public roads.

1958: Engineers measure autonomy from zero (full human control) to five (total robo driver). The first step is taking your feet off the pedals, as drivers did when cruise control debuted on late-’50s Chryslers.

1989: As autos reach level 2, they learn to see the world and recognize basic hazards. Sensors and a computer brain on Carnegie Mellon’s ALVINN, a retrofitted ambulance, let it navigate the campus.

2007: To reach levels 3 and up, cars must handle routes without much (if any) help. The Carnegie Mellon Boss mastered a 55-mile course filled with traffic signals—and other vehicles.

Promising technologies

1. Cheaper sensors Electronic eyes provide a full picture of the road, but the combined cost of high-res cameras, radar, lidar, and other sensors totals (conservatively) $75,000. Optics engineers are working on less-spendy versions. Waymo, for one, has claimed it’s made a rooftop spinning lidar for just $7,500. Autonomous vehicle companies keep in-house development hush-hush, but, as engineers keep tinkering, the costs will drop further.

2. Brainer mobile brains Driverless cars parse sensor data into navigational cues with a type of AI called a neural network. The brainlike system must ID every view of a jaywalker amid every combination of weather and lighting, and then—within milliseconds—swerve, brake, or plow ahead. Programmers have been training networks to drive since the ‘80s, but on old, slow chips. Today, thanks in part to video games, graphics processors are speedy enough to read the road.

Elon Musk Facts

Who Is Elon Musk? Elon Reeve Musk was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa to father Errol and mother Maye Musk. In 1989 he moved to Canada and from 1992 lived in United States after receiving a scholarship from The University of Pennsylvania. In 1995, created his first IT company Zip2. Sold it in 1999 for $307 million. In 1999, he wanted to make online payments easier so he founded a company that is now known as PayPal. He sold it to eBay in 2002. for $1.5 billion.

PayPal founders Peter Thiel and Elon Musk (right) In 2004 he wanted to make serial production of electric cars, so he invested $70 million in Tesla Motors and became the chairman of the board of directors. Tesla Motors made a series of electric super-cars which were pretty expensive, but Musk used earned money to further invest in electric vehicles and in early 2016. Tesla unveiled their $35,000 Tesla Model 3 electric car intended for mass production.

Elon Musk in front of the Tesla model S In 2015, Tesla Motors unveiled its new product called Powerwall, a wall-mounted lithium ion battery that charges using electricity generated from solar panels, or from city power system when utility rates are low, and can provide 7-10 kWh of electric power. Any excess amount of power can be stored in batteries for later usage. Quotes: https://www.interestingfacts.org/category/quotes Definitions: https://www.interestingfacts.org/category/definition SolarCity is yet another of Musk's companies. He is not the founder, but he is a shareholder since 2003 when he invested $10 million in the company. SolarCity provides homes, companies and governments with electric power generated with solar panels. In 2008, the company built solar-powered electric systems for British Motors and eBay to power their headquarters and servers. He founded SpaceX in 2002, because he was fascinated by an ambitious idea of reducing space transportation costs to enable people to colonize Mars. In 2006 Musk invested over $100 million in the company to boost the development. Grasshopper and Falcon 9 are experimental launch vehicles that are able to make vertical landings and vertical takeoffs, meaning we could be able to re-use space transportation vehicles in near future.

Elon Musk / SpaceX As it wasn't enough, in 2013 he published a blog post about a new type of transportation called Hyperloop. It is a high speed solar powered transportation system driven by induction motors and air compressors. It should transport people from San Francisco to Los Angeles in 30 minutes covering the distance of 614.44 km (381.8 miles).

Hyperloop concept In early 2015, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) signed an agreement to begin construction of the first full-scale test track in 2016 in the town of Quay Valley, CA, and complete the construction by 2017 – accepting passengers by 2018. Elon Musk Tunnels Musk is also extremely passionate about constructing high speed tunnels to ease congestion and traffic. He has been very vocal about being able to easily build a tunnel underneath Los Angeles that provides immense benefits to society.

Interesting Facts About Elon Musk As 2017 and 2018 plowed forward things certainly did not get any less interesting regarding Elon Musk. Musk stared down the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in a showdown over Musk tweets that were taunting short sellers of Tesla stock. Tesla stock has long been one of the more heavily shorted stocks in the market. SHort selling is when investors borrow shares of the stock to sell now so that they can buy back later to cover the short for a profit (if it works in their favor). "Naked shorting" takes place when the shares aren't truly borrowed and exchanges allow shares to be sold that don't even exist or are not in their inventory. Musk tweeted threats about taking the company private and that "funding was secured" which got him in hot water with the SEC. It was all settled. Other interesting facts recently with Elon Musk relate to cryptocurrency scams and Musk's The Boring Company and its tunnels. Many people believe Musk to be a strong supporter of Bitcoin like his pal Peter Thiel. Scammers have taken to using Musk's name and likeness to runs scams trying to scam people into buying bogus coins or invest in bogus projects. Here is some updated information on The Boring Company and the tunnels. Boring breakthrough @BoringCompany pic.twitter.com/pSflhZadwC — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 29, 2018 SpaceX SpaceX has been making steady progress in 2018 and 2019. Musk recently updated folks about the SpaceX launch. More details are available here courtesy of space.com. SpaceX Dragon recently returned to Earth after its second Space Station discovery and trip. Here are some images of how Musk sees humans traveling into space. SpaceX is now preparing the Falcon 9 for static fire in anticipation of the Crew Dragon mission. The launch date is anticipated to be February 16, 2019. 2019 Drama Early 2019 has showcased a lot of drama between Musk, ex girlfriends, and potential court cases. Elon Musk girlfriends Grimes and Azealia Bank are engaged in a scathing battle that also connects the Elon Musk Twitter account. Here is a snapshot of where things stand in late January.

Using advanced computer modeling to integrate the design of the building systems and facade, Arup significantly reduced operational costs and improved energy efficiency, putting the project on the road to LEED Gold status—an exceptional achievement for a laboratory facility.

BOSTON, MA, April 7 —Arup, the global design and engineering firm for the built environment, celebrated the opening of the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex (ISEC) at Northeastern University in Boston. Arup was selected by the architecture firm Payette to provide mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering, as well as energy modeling, façade consulting, sustainability and lighting design services for the 234,000-square-foot project. The integrated design process has resulted in a high performance laboratory facility for Northeastern.

“We are extremely pleased to be a partner in such an extraordinary project at Northeastern University.” said Julian Astbury, Arup project manager. “Sharing Arup’s resources and expertise in sustainability and technology with the team made the experience a true collaborative process—a work of total design.”

Ambitious energy goals, innovative solutions “The facilities department at Northeastern wanted the most energy-efficient building possible,” said Mark Walsh-Cooke, Arup principal in charge. By using advanced energy modeling software and building information modeling (BIM) early in the design process and holding biweekly workshop meetings with the architects and university representatives, Arup empowered the client to make better, more informed decisions about the design, enabling them to reach their sustainability goals.

The Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code calls for new buildings to perform 20% better than required by base code. The ISEC surpasses this requirement, achieving 33% energy-cost savings over code and 75% energy savings compared to typical laboratory performance. To accomplish this, Arup engineered several major energy conservation measures, among them:

• The cascade air system is the biggest contributor to energy savings at the ISEC. “This technology was new to the client and contractor, so our advanced energy modeling software studies were critical,” said Astbury. In a typical scenario, laboratories have a dedicated HVAC system, an expensive feature to construct and operate. At the ISEC, the cascade system recovers conditioned air from the offices and atrium of the building, then transfers it to the lab, saving energy and reducing costs. • Arup used performance and life-cycle analysis to optimize the façade design, ensuring both occupant comfort and energy efficiency. The northern part of the ISEC complex, which houses the energy intensive labs, is the focus of thermal improvements; at the southern exposure (where low-energy functions such as offices are located), triple-glazed windows and a shading system work to maximize daylight while minimizing energy consumption. • Using active chilled beam technology significantly reduces the energy consumption compared to conventional air conditioning. In this system, supply air to the space is directed through nozzels on either side of a heat exchanger coil, creating a pressure difference. This pressure difference pulls air from the space over the coil, cooling or heating it, and then mixes with the supply air to be delivered to the space. Arup’s comfort-modeling software balanced the downdraft and the ambient temperature to ensure a pleasant environment. • Arup designed a hydronic run-around coil system to recovery energy from the lab exhaust air to pre-condition the outdoor air, targeting the heating as needed to either the offices or labs, and optimizing the efficiency of the system. The coils are designed to minimize the size of the fan motor and extract as much energy as practical before the exhaust is discharged. • To optimize the efficiency of the chiller and heating system, Arup installed a heat-recovery chiller, which simultaneously generates heating hot water and chilled water. This reduces the run-time of the boilers for laboratory re-heat in the summer and shoulder seasons and for pre-heat of the domestic and laboratory hot water systems. • The winter outdoor air heating demand to the atrium is reduced by using a passive solar collector to preheat the outdoor air using radiant energy from the sun.

The ISEC will be open to outside researchers in the interrelated fields of computer science, basic sciences, health sciences, and engineering. Attracting talent from beyond the campus raises the university’s profile and diversifies the academic leadership and curriculum. The project benefits the surrounding community as well; a pedestrian bridge (currently in design by Arup’s structural engineers in collaboration with Payette) spans the commuter-rail tracks to allow residents, workers, and students to easily and safely navigate their way through the site.

Engineering Innovator Arup Names New Global Aviation Leader

With decades of experience, Susan Baer will lead strategic planning and master planning for some of the biggest aviation projects in the world.

Arup, a leader in interdisciplinary engineering, consulting, and design services, has announced Susan Baer has been named Global Aviation Business Leader. With a comprehensive knowledge of the field—and its future—she brings an exceptional set of qualifications to the role. Baer’s predecessor, Peter Budd, is retiring, and will continue to support the aviation team in an advisory capacity.

“The aviation team at Arup is without equal, led by exceptional professionals in the regions where expert aviation teams plan, design, and commission the best airports in the world,” said Baer. “I look forward to continuing the vision for global aviation established by Peter Budd, whose leadership, business acumen, and client understanding were unparalleled.”

Baer joined Arup in 2013, heading up its aviation business in the Americas region and directing global aviation planning. Through her superior negotiation and communication skills, she ensures that collaborations between planners, engineers, airport operators, and airlines are focused on the successful delivery of projects in the best interests of all stakeholders.

In her new position, Baer will capitalize on one of Arup’s key resources: its ability to mobilize its experts around the world. The firm is a local as well as a global presence, bringing people together in various locations throughout the world to produce universally beneficial work. Baer will harness the firm’s pockets of different capabilities worldwide, and then strategically deploy Arup’s collective expertise in pursuit of shaping a better world. Arup’s aviation projects currently under development include some of the biggest new airport projects ever undertaken, such as the Abu Dhabi International Airport, Heathrow Terminal 2, Hong Kong International Midfield Concourse, Perth Airport, and Taoyuan Terminal 3 (Taiwan).

Previously, Baer spent 37 years with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, where as Director of Aviation she oversaw the safe, efficient, and profitable operation of the busiest airport system in the U.S. There, her diverse achievements ranged from managing a $2.3 billion operating budget to negotiating airport-based retail developments to implementing a model customer service program.

Gregory Hodkinson, Arup Group Chairman, said, “Arup’s strategy is to do the best quality work for our clients across all specialties to achieve a positive impact on our world. Andy Howard and Leo Argiris have the right skills to advance this mission in the Americas, a region that offers incredible opportunities and where the firm has worked on some of the most complex and progressive projects for some of the most demanding clients.”

The new management team aims to bring the world’s best ideas and advice to clients in the Americas. By leveraging digital technologies to provide clients with efficient and inventive solutions, Howard will both drive the vision for the firm’s future and serve as a steward of Arup’s legacy. “Because our firm is owned in trust, with its employees as beneficiaries, we have the opportunity to invest heavily in innovation for the benefit of our clients and industry. This is a powerful motivator for me and the entire Arup team to continue to develop transformative ways of working,” said Howard. Arup’s clients also benefit from the company’s high rate of employee retention, which ensures sustained, focused research.

As Howard and Argiris lead Arup into the future in the Americas, prospects are exciting on a number of fronts. For FYE 2016, revenues for Arup in the Americas will exceed $350 million (the firm’s global revenue is $2 billion), and the group is anticipating double-digit growth annually for the next five years. “For Arup, growth is not a target, but an enabler that allows us to provide the best services to our clients and interesting opportunities for our staff,” said Argiris.

Going Forward: Arup in the Americas

Looking ahead, Howard believes that Arup is ideally positioned to capitalize on the tremendous potential offered by harnessing automation in new ways to facilitate the design process. Arup’s ability to compile and quickly analyze information on ever-larger scales is transforming the management of complex projects and development of creative solutions. In city-building, for instance, Arup synthesizes and manipulates data on resiliency, traffic congestion, pollution, and energy usage with great speed and accuracy to produce smart, real-time models that yield results of much greater impact and efficiency than traditional linear-style design. Areas specifically targeted by Howard that can benefit from this advanced approach include transportation networks and infrastructure projects.

Howard views technology as a driver for positive change within the AEC community and will work to solidify Arup’s position as a strategic leader in this rapidly evolving scene. “At Arup, we’re looking at expanding our capabilities,” said Howard. “We have become advisory experts, giving our clients broader advice on solutions. We define our value by the positive impact we have on stakeholders and the world at large.”

Setting goals to continue the company’s organic growth and creating new opportunities for staff are also on the firm’s agenda for the future. Arup is planning to expand its 15 offices in North and South America and is currently evaluating several locations for new branches.

Arup Zero-Energy House

Micro-algae prove ideal for making green facades

• Algae ‘bio-reactors’ provide shade and a source of green energy • Commercial-scale algae bio-façades set for production

(London) A zero-energy house under construction in Germany is set to provide the first real-life test for a new façade system that uses live microalgae to provide shade and generate renewable energy at the same time.

Bio-adaptive façade: images from Arup

The world’s first ‘bio-adaptive façade’ will be installed in the ‘BIQ’ house for the International Building Exhibition (IBA) in Hamburg, which runs through 2013.

The façade concept is designed so that algae in the bio-reactor façades grow faster in bright sunlight to provide more internal shading. The ‘bio-reactors’ not only produce biomass that can subsequently be harvested, but they also capture solar thermal heat – both energy sources can be used to power the building.

In practice, this means that photosynthesis is driving a dynamic response to the amount of solar shading required, while the micro-algae growing in the glass louvres provide a clean source of renewable energy.

The shading louvres for the BIQ house in Hamburg are being fabricated in Germany by Colt International on the basis of bio-reactor concept and design work led by the international design consultant, Arup, in cooperation with SSC Strategic Science Consult of Germany. The BIQ house was designed for the IBA exhibition by Splitterwerk Architects of Graz, Austria.

Arup’s Europe Research Leader, Jan Wurm, said, “To use bio-chemical processes for adaptive shading is a really innovative and sustainable solution so it is great to see it being tested in a real-life scenario. As well as generating renewable energy and providing shade to keep the inside of the building cooler on sunny days, it also creates a visually interesting look that architects and building owners will like.”

Simon O’Hea, Director at Colt, said, “It’s been a very rewarding scheme to be involved in. We have put a lot of work into meeting the technical challenges and we now have a commercial-scale, effective solution that uses live algae as a smart material to deliver renewable energy. You can’t get greener than that.” Once completed in March 2013, the BIQ house will allow scientists, engineers and builders to assess the full potential of the system as a green alternative providing dynamic solar shading alongside sustainable, renewable energy.

Ups, Stressing over The Right Points Is A Massive Difficulty'.

You could periodically see your regional bodega-- a kind of convenience store that has long withstood the stress of franchise business chains as well as branding if you live in a United States city. Statoil, for example, established as the Norwegian State Oil Business is checking drifting wind turbines innovation off the country's coast. The fad is especially strong among start-ups that currently used a system of factors or credit scores for purchases. We decided that it's time for us to turn to the general public and request your help with funding in order for us to settle the DFM as well as start the manufacturing of this cool and also useful product. Sure enough, the solution has continued to develop, as well as simply last month, Zaarly presented a major upgrade called Storefronts, which offers sellers a better way to market their products and involve with customers online. A nascent startup activity, with lofty goals to enhance the employment and also reputation of New Orleans via homegrown, fast-growing venture-backed organisations, all of a sudden discovered itself stumbling. Several start-up utilities do the exact same task in a friendlier way, as well as I have advised William Yang's totally free StartUp Examiner for Windows This aids resolve the trouble of not knowing what the history programs do. Run StartUp Assessor and click the button marked Consult. So where does all this leave technology startups? Despite all individuals who love Right here One, those sales numbers turned Doppler from hot-shit start-up to digital impossibility. Beginning startups may be able to check out items or suggestions on prospective future consumers prior to mosting likely to, claim, VCs for a larger stake. This will show your consumers that their service issues and also you could not have actually experienced the year without it. By making the effort to send a vacation card that is handwritten, your clients will recognize that you put some thought as well as effort into the idea. Yuri Sagalov, CEO of Amium, and also Sam Altman hold Live Workplace Hrs with three start-ups: MoonlightWork, Canny and Tuml. At Google X, the team will certainly be checking out exactly how the modern technology utilized in Liftware could be applied in other methods to assist handle tremors from diseases like Parkinson's.

Rinaudo states that after revealing its collaboration with Rwanda in February, the White House connected to Zipline as well as shared passion in bringing its system to country parts of the US. Zipline will make an application for a waiver to the FAA guidelines, as well as anticipates to begin running within 6 months of receiving it. (Rinaudo wants to be functional within a year from now.)

Over a current brunch in San Francisco's Cole Valley, he talked with me regarding how people inside huge companies can be encouraged to deal with the effort and also drive of start-up acolytes. Scott Rosenberg: The Startup Way suggests that you could hair transplant right stuff that drives founders-- the motivation as well as interest, and the openness to testing and also picking up from failing-- right into huge old firms and institutions. And so when people started asking me to deal with their item development group, to utilize these principles, it really did not even strike me to ask, Is this a startup or otherwise?" This is business management. Yet there's nothing foundational about it that requires it to be a tiny company, or to have equity, or any of that things-- the surface characteristics of a startup. Tim Griffin, vice head of state and also taking care of director, Dell UK, describes: As a firm established by a business owner, fostering a business spirit and supporting new companies is deeply embedded in our company society. Hyperloop startup Arrivo's prepare for super-speedy transportation have actually lastly gotten here with an enthusiastic new system for Denver, Colorado-- but do not anticipate to see any one of the cumbersome vacuum cleaner tubes that usually characterize the futuristic "fifth type of transportation" in the Mile High City anytime soon. This year was a variety for startups. Newport relates exactly what occurred in the early years of the last century at Pullman, the train-car makers, where service was performed by every person talking to everyone - which suggested people were informed, yes, yet were also being disturbed regularly.

Bringing Your Big Idea to Life: What You Need to Know About Launching a Startup

Join us as we explore various start-up companies and provide you with knowledge and background to get into the game.

Have you always thought about launching a company? Start-ups are risky. If they weren’t, anyone could be a successful entrepreneur.

According to October 2017 data from Statista, Uber. Xiaomi, SpaceX, Pinterest, and Airbnb were among the highest valued startup companies in the world. Uber was valued at about $68 billion by venture-capital firms.

The performance of companies like Uber and AirBnb supports the frequency of startups that look to gain profit from the global sharing economy. By 2020, the number of sharing economy users in the United States is poised to increase to 40 million. A key success factor for startups will be their ability to gain customers from different age groups. They’ll also need to convince people to abandon a traditional market model, which can be challenging, but as AirBnb proved, very beneficial.

But there’s always a chance your startup will fail, and nobody wants to see that happen. That’s why we’re offering this webinar.

Join us as we explore various start-up companies and provide you with knowledge and background to get into the game.

We’ll look at start-ups like Apple, PayPal, Jawbone, and Space-X, as well as the dot.com fiasco, to see what went right or what was disastrous. We’ll focus on considerations such as the impact of the management team, product/market fit and scarce funding.

After, we’ll open the webinar up to the experts: people who are heavily involved in technology start-up companies. You’ll have the opportunity to ask them anything and benefit from their experiences!

PRESENTERS:

Chris Giovanniello, Co-Founder & Senior Vice President, Products and Marketing Menlo Micro

Chris has more than 20 years of experience in the electronic systems and semiconductor industries. As Senior Vice President of Products, Chris oversees all aspects of Menlo’s product roadmap, leading product development, product marketing, and developing go-to-market strategies. Before he was involved in this startup, he was Vice President, Business Development for GE Ventures. At GE Ventures, Chris was responsible for developing new programs and monetization strategies for key technologies developed at General Electric’s R&D center in Schenectady, NY. He has a deep professional history that extends back into Europe, where he managed large teams of customer support engineers, and senior management positions for Teradyne.

Natasha Baker, CEO & Founder, SnapEDA

Natasha is an electrical engineer who loves electronics projects. She started coding a website called SnapEDA from her kitchen table to help engineers build circuit boards faster a few years ago, and now she’s running a company with resources used by over 80,000 engineers. While working at National Instruments, she decided to make some PCBs to show off circuit design and simulation software at a tradeshow. She started designing the accelerometer board from a reference design, thinking it would be a super-fast PCB to make. However, the biggest bottleneck was finding the symbols, footprints and simulation models I needed to design the board. I wondered: “Why isn’t there a Google for electronics design content?” After returning from that tradeshow, Baker quit her job and decided to start building it.

David Sandys, Director of Technical and Strategic Marketing, Digi-Key Electronics

David Sandys’ official title is Director of Technical and Strategic Marketing at Digi-Key Electronics, but informally he labels himself as our Maker Maker. He and his team spend a lot of time on differentiated marketing activities such as our Maker initiative, academic marketing, tools/design content and forward thinking activities such as our Hyperloop sponsorship. He has been with Digi-Key for 4 years but has many years of marketing experience with Hewlett Packard, Advanced Micro Devices and Arrow Electronics. David holds a BS from Arizona State University and an MBA from USC (Go Trojans!). Originally from Montreal, Canada, David lives and works in Phoenix, AZ where he can be seen buzzing around in his Mini, working on various electronic projects and dreaming of Stanley Cups, Montreal smoked meat and bagels.

Attendance is free. To access the event please register.

Elon Musk paused while chatting about his series of potentially world-changing endeavors to say he isn't in it to provide salvation.

It was during a talk on Friday at a prestigious TED Conference in Vancouver, where the tech entrepreneur was discussing his ventures building electric cars and trucks, rockets, a newly launched tunnel-boring company and even dabbling with super-fast mass transit.

"I'm not trying to be anyone's savior," Musk said while discussing colonising Mars and other dreams. "I am just trying to think about the future and not be sad."

"You'll tell me if it ever starts getting genuinely insane, right?" the Silicon Valley star known for turning his passions into visionary enterprises added playfully.

Musk went on to tease the audience with a photo of a self-driving truck that his company Tesla Motors is adding to its line of electric cars.

Describing the vehicle as powerful enough to tow a regular big rig up a hill, he said it would handle like a sports car.

"When I was driving the test prototype for the first truck, it was really weird," he said. "I thought, 'This is crazy!' driving this large truck and it's doing these amazing maneuvers."

Racing a snail A founder of the PayPal online payment system as well as Tesla and SpaceX - the maker and launcher of rockets and spacecraft - Musk is also working on building tunnels more efficiently at his aptly named Boring company.

Describing traffic jams as "soul-crushing," he said they could be eliminated by building multi-level tunnel networks for cars.

His company is already trying to bore tunnels under Los Angeles, he said.

The Boring company has a pet snail named Gary that inches along far faster than the current machines used to create tunnels, he added.

His machines would build small-bore tunnels "faster than Gary," in what he said would be a major, cost-saving advance.

A concept video illustrated how cars might someday drive from streets onto sleds lowered into tunnels and be whisked on their way.

Musk also described dabbling with an ultra-fast rail transport system known as Hyperloop that he detailed in a paper several years ago, inviting entrepreneurs to make it real.

In his vision, Hyperloop pods would zip along vacuum-sealed tubes in tunnels that could conceivably be built by the Boring company.

But Musk devotes only two or three percent of his time to the Boring company, he said, calling it more of a hobby - and boasting that it is nevertheless making good progress.

Wary of flying cars Although he also admires flying innovations - witnessed by his SpaceX endeavors - Musk isn't keen on the idea of cars in the sky.

"If there were a whole bunch of flying cars going all over the place, that's not an anxiety-reducing situation," he quipped.

"You're thinking, 'Did they service their hub cap, or is it going to come off and guillotine me?'"

Speaking tech to power Musk depicted a not-to-distant future in which solar roof tiles generate electricity in homes and people share self-driving electric cars.

With his first lithium battery Gigafactory ramping production in the United States, he revealed that he would announce plans later this year for as many as four more facilities "to address the global market."

Musk also shrugged off criticism for agreeing to take part in advisory councils to US President Donald Trump.

They meet approximately once a month and essentially consist of going around a room asking opinions.

"I have used them thus far to argue in favor of immigration and in favor of (addressing) climate change," he said.

"That wasn't on the agenda before," he added. "Maybe nothing will happen, but at least the words were said."

One of Musk's latest big ideas is to send space tourists on trips around the moon.

"There have to be reasons you get up in the morning and want to live," he said of pursuing big dreams such as space exploration.

"If the future doesn't include being out there in the stars, being a multi-planet species, that is incredibly depressing."

Hyperallergic: Six Designs for Trump’s Border Wall, from Solar Panels to a Mexican-American Co-Nation

Monument to those who have died crossing from Mexico into the US along the border fence in Tijuana (photo © Tomas Castelazo / Wikimedia Commons / CC BY-SA 3.0)

Last month, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) received hundreds of proposals for the wall that President Trump wants to build along the 1,989-mile border between the US and Mexico. The designs, which DHS’s Customs and Border Protection is currently evaluating, were drawn up by architecture firms, defense contractors, security companies, engineers, designers, and artists, among others.

Bidders’ goals and aesthetic sensibilities vary wildly, from the brutal functionality of proposals that resemble the walls surrounding US Army bases in foreign countries to designs that dress up their nefarious purpose with beneficial features like solar panels or passageways for small animals, to utopian visions that seek to unify the region rather than divide it. It’s still too early to say what sort of wall, if any, will ultimately get built — a short list of proposals that will move on to the prototyping phase is expected to be announced around June 1. But a survey of known proposals shows most are frightfully unimaginative and ruthless in their plans to devastate fragile ecologies, divide sacred Native lands, imperil human rights, and soak up billions of US taxpayers’ dollars in the process — though a few are more hopeful and creative. The following six proposals give a sense of this eclecticism.

The Utopian Anti-Wall

Rendering of the Otra Nation hyperloop station in Tijuana (image courtesy MADE Collective)

Proposed by: MADE Collective, a group of Mexican and US designers, architects, engineers, and builders Distinguishing features: The proposal calls for the creation of Otra Nation, a half-Mexican, half-US co-nation with shared infrastructure and a border-long hyperloop transportation system.

What attracted you to bid on the border wall project?

MADE Collective: “We believe our two countries need a positive debate that focuses on job creation, energy independence, and how the sharing economy can power our nations to a brighter future. We are calling for a bi-national referendum on the creation of Otra Nation — a new shared territory of the United States and Mexico.”

What is the main goal of your design?

“The scheme was sent to both governments of the United States and Mexico to develop the world’s first shared co-nation, removing the existing physical border, creating a regenerative shared territory, building a hyperloop transportation network, and implementing biometric and iris-scanning systems allowing free movement of anyone in North America. We are looking to build the world’s largest interconnected solar farms and focus on developing regenerative agriculture. Most importantly, we will save the US taxpayer $11–28 billion to be reinvested in healthcare, education, the EPA, and the arts, while creating two million jobs and $1 trillion in investment. We believe this is a pro-North American proposal.”

The Animal-Friendly Wall

Rendering of Black Security Products’ wall (image courtesy Black Security Products, LLC)

Proposed by: Black Security Products, LLC of Austin, Texas Distinguishing features: One-foot-tall gap at its foundation that allows for passage of small animals and water runoff; elevated road for border patrol cars to traverse.

What attracted your firm to bid on the border wall project?

President Stephen Neusch: “It falls in our wheelhouse. We do anti-terrorism systems and access control. … All of our contracts are with the federal government.”

What is the main goal of your design?

“It meets all the requirements while keeping the cost at a reasonable amount. That’s for every government job we bid for. You try to find something that meets all the requirements, but you want some value added to make good selling points. Ours leans towards the environmental side, with water fluid and animal passage. Those were selling points, and in doing all of that we came up with the most cost-efficient way. … Aesthetics, honestly, were the last thing on our mind. There’s so much to do as far as the security level of it, the size, and magnitude.”

The Aqueduct Wall

Rendering of Advanced Warning Systems’s wall (image courtesy Advanced Warning Systems)

Proposed by: Advanced Warning Systems of Lake Havasu City, Arizona Distinguishing features: Constant-flow aqueduct along the American side to supply water to nearby areas; 22-foot-tall wall built from solar panels, erected at least 100 feet from the actual border, to power surveillance equipment in command stations and to generate marketable electricity; chain-link border fence (funded by the Mexican government) on the actual border, to establish a “no-man’s land” between the countries where undocumented immigrants can participate in a yearlong “special working program” that will give them limited legal status in the US upon completion.

What attracted your firm to bid on the border wall project?

CEO Lynwood Farr: “I’m in Arizona so we’re really aware of [the immigration debate]. … The big thing for me is stopping the flow of drugs and vice versa — we’ve got a lot of firearms that are being smuggled across the border into Mexico. So it just takes care of the problem without upsetting, visually, what [the landscape] looks like and also providing water where there’s never been water before. That’s a good thing.

“It will help develop that part of the country along the Arizona-Texas borders. [American citizens in the area] will become productive because they’ll have water all the time. And electricity — instead of having diesel-powered tractors and trucks, they’ll now have battery-powered vehicles, and they’ll be able to plug them in and recharge. Just a whole host of things will be better.”

What is the main goal of your design?

Farr: “We’re really proposing something that’s a system, not a wall. … The more I looked at it, the more I saw that this is an environmental issue. You’re going to be blocking access to the water all along the Rio Grande, the Colorado, and some of the other smaller rivers. … Environment was one [priority], but then it didn’t make sense to build a big stone wall. … You can do it much easier with new technology, and that’s what we have. If this is what it takes [to curb illegal immigration], in the short term, this thing will pay for itself. We’re looking at about $10 billion to build it, and if it’s generating $200 or $300 million a year, it’s going to pay for itself.”

The Smart Wall

Proposed by: DarkPulse Technologies Inc. of Scottsdale, Arizona Distinguishing features: Extensive systems of censors to detect attempted breaches of the wall both above- and belowground

What attracted your firm to bid on the border wall project?

CEO Dennis M. O’Leary: “We felt our technology was a necessary part of any physical wall proposed on the border. Our belief is that, with any barrier, there needs to be an system that will alert CBP to any activities that would defeat a physical barrier, such as climbing, destruction, or, most important, tunneling under the wall. We proposed a smartwall to the government.”

What is the main goal of your design?

“The main goal of our design is to prevent wall breaches by alerting border agents of activities in and around the wall, but most importantly, send alerts regarding any tunneling activity under the wall. The alerts are provided in real time — something that current technologies have been unable to do. We’re excited to be able to offer so many additional capabilities regarding awareness along the southern border.”

The Solar Panel Wall

Rendering of the US side of the wall (image courtesy Gleason Partners)

Proposed by: Gleason Partners LLC of Las Vegas, Nevada Distinguishing features: Modular design including two tiers of south-facing solar panels

What attracted your firm to bid on the border wall project?

Managing Partner Tom Gleason: “Ever since Donald Trump announced his intention to build a wall with Mexico, I wanted to get to President Trump a design for the wall that would be safest for the boys and young men trying to climb the walls and design a wall that would pay for itself with electricity production and four barriers of resistance, each with sensors to advise US Border Patrol when an intruder was making their way over or through the wall and activating lights and cameras for immediate visuals. When the solicitation was announced, we quickly began design our version of the wall, with Marko as our chief designer. Marko is a civil engineer, so we know our design will handle the earthquakes, rains, high winds, and we believe we can significantly discourage intruders from attempting to scale or penetrate our wall.”

What is the main goal of your design?

“After extensive searches on the internet, I can now understand why the ranchers along the border need the wall, and the problem is that thousands of young men, boys, and a few girls die of dehydration after they enter the USA, especially along southern Texas, and must walk for days to find help. My ethical stance is if Americans — especially at the border and our Border Patrol agents and ranchers — need the wall, then let’s make it as safe as possible, and let’s make it green and have it pay for itself.”

The Lightweight Wall

Proposed by: Quantum Logistics of Mission, Texas Distinguishing features: Lightweight designs using reinforced, pre-cast concrete or non-concrete metal fencing

What attracted your firm to bid on the border wall project?

President James Carpenter: ��I live on the border. My wife and I, along with my children, engage in volunteer activities that include an anti–human trafficking ministry. We see the effects an exploited border has on our community, beyond what most see and are told by the media. We see the trafficked persons, the drugs, and criminal element, and instead of complaining, for the sake of our children and our community in South Texas, we choose to be the agents of change we want to see in defense of our homeland.

“I am a veteran and a soldier by heart. … My Commander in Chief has put out a call in defense of our nation at its southern border. As a soldier, I feel obligated to answer the call of my Commander in Chief, regardless of who he is or what my political views are.

“If the wall is inevitable, then a member of my community should have a “say so” in its construction. After all, it is my community that it will be protecting, so someone from the community must represent. It is my neighbors, my children, and my family that it will affect. So I choose to stand up, not just for the sake of their security, but also for the sake of my local economy. Building the wall in south Texas, and using my firm to do so, will enable a lot of people towards gainful employment, from logistics personnel, laborers, to the local restaurants and businesses who will serve the employees.”

What is the main goal of your design?

“My design will bring to the homeland physical security engineering practices that are implemented in Iraq and Afghanistan, which safeguard US government facilities from unauthorized personnel, suicide car bombs, and terrorist attacks, while facilitating ease and economy of repair and compartmentalizing any damage caused by attack, criminal elements, and even natural disasters.”
