Mysterious, this tree trunk floating upright in the lake for 120 years!

A mound of tree trunk floating in the blue water of the lake is probably not a strange thing. However, what if the logs were floated for 120 years without once ever sink?

Crater Lake in Oregon is the deepest lake in the United States with waters so blue. However, when looking closer, a unique sights seen. There is a tree trunk to oscillate. The logs are stable enough to hold a person standing on it.

Interestingly, it turned out to be a wooden rod in an upright position in a long time. It's no longer a matter of months, but the tree trunk with the nickname "the old man in the lake" has been floating in an upright position for at least 120 years.

The basic laws of physics mentioned, the float things will always have the center of mass is greater than the center of buoyancy. This means that long logs would float in a horizontal position, while the short logs will float in a vertical position.

"The old man in the lake" has a length of 9 meters with a diameter of 61 centimeters. By that measure, it should logs floating horizontally. However, it's strange, the wooden log floats vertically.

No one can decipher the mystery of the wooden log. However, a theory is that there are stones that get stuck in the roots remaining from the trunk. The weakness of this theory, there currently is no stone-related and it is difficult to prove that the incident ever happened.

Another opinion says that submerged logs will become more dense and heavy from time to time, while the edges are not exposed to water will remain dry. Therefore, it floats vertically.

The tree trunk was first discovered in 1896 by a geologist and explorer named Joseph Diller. He noted, the wooden log on the move. In 1902, Diller published the first scientific study on this wooden log. He revealed, in the five years since its discovery, the log has been moved as far as 400 meters.

The second experiment was resumed on July 1 and September 30, 1938 found that the tree trunk back to travel farther, about 99.9 km in 3 months time. Strong winds and waves had brought it to move. Until now, no one knows where it originated mysterious wooden rod.

And the Crater Lake was formed about 7,700 years ago when Mount Mazama erupted. This lake has a depth of 592 meters, making it the deepest lake in the United States and the ninth deepest lake in the world. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SCIENCEALERT]

A unique champion of Inspired 27

The figure of this bike looks very unique. Well, a Triumph Bonneville T120 650 cc owned by Uji Kuswanto. The custom bike called 'Inspired' can be considered radical. And in the hands of the Malang-based modifications garage called Inspired 27 was able to change completely the manufacturer initial design, without exception.

Also visible tidiness in the execution of modification of the bagger concept motorcycle carrying an engine capacity of 650 cc by combining a classic feel and the changes that lumpy handmade. So the result was even able to fool the eye if in fact this is an old motorbike.

The frame of motorcycle was full custom and made specifically with the model curve. Uniquely in the bottom and rear connection is not there any sector that is welded, but connected by using some screws at the middle between the bike's seat.

Uniqueness of Triumph Bonneville T120 'Inspired' custom bike also can be seen from the winding handmade exhaust models between its twin-head engine. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1ek6qo)

By maintaining a vintage impression, used  the coil spring suspension models in front and rear to support its sturdy feet of the rims of TK 185-21, complete with the drum of Honda SR in front. While the rear wore the Yamaha RD drum.

Its fuel tank designed a quite slim which is then placed under the main frame. Another uniqueness is also can be seen from the winding handmade exhaust models between its twin-head engine.

With these performances it is not surprising if this custom built motorcycle was able to grab the title as Best Custom Bike Show at the Kustomfest 2015.

This Honda's tiny electric car made of 3D printer

At the Paris Motor Show 2016, Honda showed a tiny electric car. Interestingly, some of the car panels and components are made using a three-dimensional printer. It’s also as yet unnamed, but will make its full debut at the Japanese tech exhibition, CEATEC 2016.

This car can be used to haul a lot of stuff because there is spacy room in the back or it could also be used to accommodate up to three people. Not only that, the car can also be used by the elderly because it is small and very easy to drive.

The Honda's tiny electric car relies on an electric motor. And declared cruising range is claimed to reach 80 km. Interestingly, the news just three battery packs. Main is located in the bottom of the zone and it provides around 65 km of the total mileage on a single charge.

Two more battery units are installed in the cockpit (on the left and right of the driver’s seat). These modules provide a power reserve of approximately 15 km. And they are removable, allowing you to easily take them on an additional charge, for example, in the office.

As quoted from Engadget on Thursday, October 6, 2016, the design of this car took a lot of the design of Honda's motorcycle division, including the use of vehicle frames of a strong but lightweight pipe.

A Japanese tech company Kabuku also involves in the car development. One of the Kabuku panel's work is a three-dimensional bird motifs on display in the back door, doors, and seats.

This car is the first step of Honda to use more components of the three-dimensional printer in the vehicle. In the future there will be more three-dimensional components.

One advantage is the use of three-dimensional components that can cut production time is shorter than components made conventionally. In addition it is no less important is its low cost. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | STARTLR TECH | ENGADGET]

From the Beer into Green battery

Good news for fans of beer who were aware of the provision of renewable energy. Apparently, their penchant can 'help' the supply of energy in question. According to the University of Colorado Boulders, the beer-brewing requires an average of seven barrels of water for each 1 barrel of beer produced (1 barrel is equivalent to 159 liters). 

Fungal spores are added to beer-brewing wastewater. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1eieyX)

The problem, as quoted from Newatlas on Saturday, October 8, 2016, not all of the waste water can be flowed to the sewer due to be screened in advance. And this process is quite costly. 

However, the researchers said that now there are other uses for the the beer-brewing wastewater. The wastewater from brewery can be used to grow the fungus that can then be processed into electrodes for batteries.

Through a number of tests in the laboratory, the scientists of University of Colorado Boulders added the Neurospora crassa fungal spores into the the beer-brewing wastewater. After the water stirred and warmed for 2 days, then mushrooms grow in the sugar-rich water environment. Mushrooms were then harvested through a filter, and then baked at a temperature of 800 degrees Celsius until charred.

The result is a carbon-rich materials have been reported to produce "one of the most naturally efficient Li-ion battery electrodes to date." Meanwhile, the remaining water is already filtered out when the fungus is harvested.

If it can be developed to a commercial level, this process can provide the incubation medium was prepared for a battery maker. On the other hand, the process can reduce the amount of wastewater that must be purified by the brewer.

Tyler Huggins and Justin Whiteley have been filed a patent for these technology and estabilished a company named Emergy for the further development. This research report has been published in the latest edition of Applied Materials & Interfaces journal. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | NEWATLAS]
