Water ball left in the air!?

Is the water ball left in the air? This short movie is amazing. This extremely slow and detailed motion pictures were reportedly taken with Photron's high speed video camera at 4,000 frame per second.



Photron, a Tokyo based company, offers a series of high speed video cameras to manufacturing industries, the medical field, film laboratories, television and movie studios, as well as to the military worldwide. According to the company's web-site, Photron seems to be engaged in developing and supplying advanced image processing systems. Going into the broadband network era, high speed and high resolution images will be demanded and become more popular not only for industrial analysis but also for new discovery and even for pleasure.

High Performance Ferrite Magnet Motor Developed - No Rare-Earth Required

New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) has announced that the organization, working together with a group of School of Information Science, Hokkaido University, successfully developed a newly structured rotor segment type of axial-gap motor for use of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).  The output performance of the new motor is comparable with the conventional rare-earth magnet motor although its magnetic material consists of ferrite magnets only without using any rare earth.  A result of actual load testing under a constant torque range shows 51.5KW which is equivalent to conventional HEV battery performance. This technology has been developed as a part of "technology development for the next generation high performance  automobile  battery systems ".   The new technology has strong potential to relieve auto-manufacturers from extremely competitive situation in procurement of the rare-earth material which is supposed to be...
