New Fuel would power a CAR for 100 years

Laser Power Systems, a U.S. company based out of  Connecticut is developing a method of automotive propulsion using the element thorium to produce electricity. The results far surpass anything currently powering automobiles.

To put it in perspective, 8 grams of Thorium produce enough power for a car to drive 1 million miles.

Thorium is similar in structure to the element uranium. Because it is an incredibly a dense material it has the potential to produce tremendous heat, and thus energy.

Charles Stevens, the CEO of Laser Power Systems CEO, explains that just one gram of thorium yields more energy than 28,000 liters of gasoline.

Just eight grams of thorium, Stevens explains, would produce more energy than the vehicle could use in its entire life, without the need for refueling… ever.

Stevens explained in an interview with Ward’s Auto, that small pieces of thorium have been used to generate heat, being positioned to create a thorium laser in the vehicle. The laser heats water which produces steam, which in turn powers a series of “mini-turbines.”

 

Seaworld and Aquatica:How to Travel

Seaworld Orlando is one of the famous and must visit tourist attraction in Orlando. It has two  parks Seaworld and Island of Aquatica which are side by side. If you are planning to visit there are numerous travel options that are possible to have from Airport. Let me tell you if you really want to enjoy each Shows, rides of the park you need to devote atleast 1 day each for Seaworld and Aquatica.
    1. Car rental: This could be best option available it will several hours that you might waste travelling from to and from the airport to Seaworld/Aquatica. This works best if you plan to visit other theme parks like Disney, Universal. Only problem is parking fees that you end up paying, but still it would be worth as you can spend the extra hours that you save inside the park.
   2. Taxi: Its good option saves you parking charges, but it might turn out expensive. You will get taxi from Airport. So its really convinient if you dont want to go for Car rental.

                   1. Catch 111 from Airport and its last stop is SEAWORLD
                   2. If you want to go to Aquatica, just get down at SEAWORLD and they have free buses that move between SEAWORLD and Aquatica.
You can get a ticket for $2 in bus (keep the exact change, drivers won't give you change) for a trip to SEAWORLD ask for Transfer which works for 90 mins.Other Option is to take a day pass in the bus for $4.5 (keep the exact change, drivers won't give you change) and you can use it for the whole day to travel all over orlando.

Both parks are awesome, make sure you give enough time atleast(1 days each park) 2-3 days for SEAWORD and Aquatica to have a real fun vaccatioin. I have a annual pass and we enjoy the park at our leisure we took 5 days to cover all two parks. Some times wait for major attractions can be more than 90 to 120 mins.

Hyperloop transportation system

During a conference call on Monday, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk dished out the details of his "fifth mode" of transportation -- a lofty and innovative system that's unlike anything ever built.

Laying out his vision and answering questions on the futuristic-sounding plan, Musk sounded confident his big idea could get done.

The proposed cost for the Hyperloop transportation system, which wants to get you between San Francisco and Los Angeles in just 35 minutes, Musk says, is about $6 billion.

That sounds very cheap and fast compared with the current California high-speed rail plan, which is aiming for a 3-hour travel time for the same trip, with a current budget of $68 billion.

US H1B and H4 fingerprinting, scanning: Minor cuts, cracks on the hand

Getting your final stage of US H1B and H4 Visa stamping maybe really scary due to the Interview and OFC process. OFC process is really straightforward, but one thing one needs to take care is that your fingerprinting should be successful. Any major cuts on your fingers can result into rejection/delay in fingerprinting process.
1. Make sure you don't have any major cuts on any fingers on both the hands.
2. Any cuts at the side of the fingers and not on the fingerprinting areas should not be a problem. My wife had a cut on her finger, but it was on side of the finger so it didn't cause any issues.
3. Minor cuts don't cause any problem, but if you have few days before the OFC make sure you treat them and they are healed.
4. Cracks on Fingers due to dryness, or due to winters is not a problem, but keep applying moisturizer till the last moment your outside the Consulate for OFC. No medicines allowed inside the consulate.
5. When you schedule the appointment for OFC from that day take care of hands, especially ladies so they don't end up having major cuts on Hand. If something happens, treat them by taking to doctor.
6. Incase your really fail in fingerprinting, they issue a yellow slip and ask to come back once your cuts are healed.

US H1B and H4 OFC is very simple process, all they do is take fingerprints four fingers on left hand and four fingers of right hand and finally fingerprints of both the thumbs placed together. This is followed by taking a digital photograph.
