In the pursuit of energy conservation and protecting the environment, researchers to explore the possibilities of safe, renewable sources of power. Of course, well-known options of clean, potentially plentiful energy include solar, wind and hydro power. But what about harvesting the power of underwater tides as another possibility for safe, renewable energy? Well, a company from Sweden called Minestro has found a way to make this concept possible.

They developed a new turbine called Deep Green and it was designed to function as an “underwater kite”. It works by staying underwater, tied to the seabed and generates energy derived from the motion of the ocean itself. The Deep Green turbine is relatively small in its size, which is measured at twelve meters across and it’s capable of generating five hundred watts of energy when it’s in active use.

Minestro recently receiving 2.5 million dollars in funding to begin testing of their underwater kite next year. If this project is successful, we’ll be using electricity generated from the oceans in the near future. However, I can’t help noticing that this underwater kite looks like a smaller version of the Enterprise spaceship from Star Trek. So, we could be entering a new and perhaps final frontier of energy usage.

In this age of modern warfare, research and development of new weapons technology is constantly in motion. Scientists, researchers and inventors continue to conceive designs for better weapons to make soldiers more effective on the battlefield. You might be familiar with the concept of an advanced gun with programmable, adaptive ammunition for handling a variety of situations. Well, technology has finally come far enough for the military to bring this concept into the real world.

A new weapon called the XM-25 Individual Airburst Weapon has been developed for military personnel. This gun actually fires a 25-millimeter “smart round” that can be pre-programmed to detonate at a specific distance chosen by the shooter. Not only is the XM-25 is capable of spreading shrapnel in all directions when firing explosive rounds, but it is also equipped with a rangefinder that allows a soldier to determine the actual range of a current target and manually adjust the gun’s bullets to detonate accordingly under the current circumstances of a situation. The main purpose of the XM-25 is to give soldiers the ability to attack entrenched targets around corners and in buildings with greater ease.

Currently, the XM-25 Individual Airburst Weapon is being tested at the Aberdeen Test Center in Maryland. It seems that this smart gun is meant to be the ideal weapon for giving soldiers versatility and a tactical advantage for various types of threats in combat. This new firearm could serve as an example of new weapons technology inspired by the imaginary technology we often see in science fiction. However, I hope this weapon was also designed with safeguards against misfiring rounds. On the battlefield, a soldier’s worst enemy may not be hostile combatants but a “yet-to-be-proven”, heavy-looking, experimental gun with explosive ammo.

Just so you know, the story shifts to another location, with entirely different characters. So if you think you missed anything, you didn’t.

Here’s a reminder that if you missed a chapter or two or three, then you should head to the ever-updating index here.

Anyway, the chapter is after the jump.
