LED Kites

Remember your childhood? You were probably one of those kids who loved to play kites in the field.
But... Kites? Kites aren't that cool. You know what's cool? Kites with freaking LED lights and fireworks attached to them—that's cool! And that's what's in this video: a bunch of cool kites with cool lights and fireworks galore.

These amazing kites are flying over the Caspian Sea in June of 2009 in a special performance for the President of Turkmenistan. The delta kites are 17' wingspan kites with Super LED lights and fireworks all controlled by radio control. The diamond kites are 6' wide and 6' high with 100' tails. The kites are two line steerable kites.

Now this is a big boy's toy if we've ever seen one - rather large delta kites which feature 17-feet wingspan, equipped with fancy LED lights and fireworks for added effect, where all of them are controlled via radio. Of course, for those of you who live (or were visiting) Turkmenistan last June would have seen it, where they were paraded before the President in a special performance. The diamond kites themselves measure 6 feet wide and are 6 feet high with 100 feet tails, now how about that? This isn't something that we'd hope will come crashing into our homes, otherwise be prepared to call the fire brigade!

First Matter - Toyota NORI

I came across Toyota's Indonesian Page, and found this article, which is about a bike.
On the picture, the bike is green.
Remember something?

Yep! NORI! Or seaweed, if you had not known :D



That's the pic.

It's developed by a big automotive brand, Toyota.
The logic is quite simple, which is to create a light-weighted body , without reducing the quality standards of a proper car, so that it will reduce the energy used on the car itself.

The main point is that Toyota tries to bring a very, very new innovation to the body materials. The new materials that will be used is, yes, NORI (seaweed).
Rather absurd, isn't it? But well, who knows this project will be a major success in the market? Well, they sure know how to attract it, though.
(I mean, using seaweed, which we can quite say, a food, as body materials for cars is sure rather... unique)

The nori, using a method, is transformed into a bioplastic material and is then bonded with carbon fiber. This product, which later was named Toyota Nori, has weight of 1000 pounds, or about 454 kg .

Toyota also named this green hottie Pedular; which means around:
body and case are union a la monocoque, but still strong, light, and exquisite (streamline)

The body is also made with solar cells , the energy produced here then is transferred to the battery.
Toyota gives a term to this product; PSI; Partial Body Insert;
referring to the interior of the car that can be seen clearly from outside.

It is clear that, this design is made to support the plan of environment-friendly car concepts. But well, Salute, my friend. Me myself, I quite like the design and the concept (setting aside the thought of me eating a car...)

By the way, just FYI, this is Nori (Seaweed). The sushi-roll version, though. It's the green layer around the rice :P


Good mid-night, readers!

Introduction

Well, well, well! Hello everyone!
I am Frea (or for real: Adinda, as some of my real-world fellows have known)
and I am the owner of this blog!

Let's just say, I made this blog on order, for my ICT project,
but on the way I decided to make this blog a new blog of mine.
(I had one before, it's ::|| 9 A L T A ||:: which is here



It's probably because that time I remembered that the one of the things, or persons, that is beyond the name of the blog is already kind of my past. And I didn't (and still don't) really want to be trapped down there again. Hehe, sounds a bit too serious, eh? Well then, just skip that!

I'll post anything I want here.
For information, according to my interests, it will possibly revolve around international cultures, arts, anime, manga, RPG, culinary, and my own life.
I'm not a native speaker of English, so it's very possible for me to be off-tracks sometimes, and I am very sorry for that. But I want my post to be able to be read by wider range of reader, and that's why I decided to post in English (although I will probably post some in my main language, too :) )

For the first 5 or 6 posts, it will relate to technology, as ordered for my ICT project. I haven't really planned the post, but I guess it will be around game, anime, and real technology.

And here is some introduction to my blog environment



Up there on the top left of the page is the title. On the top right is the search button, and below that is the share button group. But then again, I suppose you are all already familiar enough to them, aren't you? :P
Below the group, there is a clock, it is set up according to my local timezone which is GMT+7 (Jakarta, Indonesia).
And then, below that is my playlist, I hope you like the songs!
I set it to automatically start when the page is done being accessed, hopefully you can enjoy the songs there, and the auto-start feature doesn't really bother you :)
But probably there are some songs (videos) on the list that cannot be played, you can click on the provider logo to go straight to the source to know why :|

Back to the navigation board!
Below the playlist is the Cbox, which is a chat box, and I wish you'll be able to spend some of your time there. When you have something to say to me, just post there! :D
Then below that is my blogger and facebook profile. Below those is the calendar, and the new feature, Networked Blogs. This feature makes you able to follow my blog via your facebook account, the updates will be posted on my blog facebook page :)

Below that is the normal Google follower tab, and the last of the bar is the traffic tools which are the tracker and the visit counter :)

Back to top again, below the title is the slideshow, it contains the pictures that present the general theme of the (will-be) posts here :)
Some (you can figure which ones) are my own mix in Paint , I wish you like them! :D

Well then, that's all! Good (mid)night, folks! ;)
