Build a prototype of a self-charging battery that is thousands of years old

 How about not having to charge your smartphone or laptop? Everyone thinks that Anand would have been able to use it once he bought it. But the battery with so much capacity has not been made yet.

But the American company NDB has come up with a prototype of thousands of years old self-charging batteries with the courage to prove one possibility. The company has been developing and manufacturing nanodiamond batteries, which are clean and green environment friendly.

NDB has successfully tested the concept of its nanodiamond battery. One of the tests was performed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the other at the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University.

In both tests, NDB's battery technology managed 40 percent of the charge. The latter result is a huge improvement over the 15 percent charge collection efficiency of Standard Commercial Diamond.

This exploration by NDB will create a new proprietary nanodiamond treatment. This will help to make a battery by extracting a very good electrical charge from the diamond.

The basic purpose of this development is to commercialize the battery life up to a maximum of 28,000 years. It is made from carbon 14 nuclear waste wrapped in synthetic diamonds.

This battery does not emit carbon while working. It needs open air to work. It is technically a battery as its charge can be used.

The one-time charge is longer than the lifespan of the device. So it is also a kind of charge-free solution.

NDB expects the battery to be a usable power source. So that even ordinary people can use it.

The NDB aims to use it on aircraft, EVs, trains, and small devices such as smartphones, small industrial sensors that can be worn.

The company is currently working on a prototype of the first commercial battery. The company is preparing to make it public by next year.

Google's AI technology in Bihar to give flood alert from Nepal

India is the second-most populous country in the world. More than 20 percent of the world's flood deaths each year are in India.

Floods destroy tens of thousands of homes every year. With that in mind, Google volunteers have been working to help flood victims in India for the past two years.

In 2018, the company launched the Pilot Initiative for flood forecasting in Patna, the capital of Bihar. Bihar is one of the most flood-prone states in India for a long time.

Where more than a hundred people lose their lives every year. Google was trying to provide them with accurate flood forecasts in real-time.

The company's AI model analyzes the historical data of many river basins in different parts of the world for accurate forecasting. Google is not alone in this project.

Instead, it is cooperating with the Central Water Commission of India, the Israeli Institute of Technology, and the University of Barisan. The company is also working with the Indian government on how New Delhi is compiling water level data to improve its efforts.

They have installed a new electronic sensor, which automatically transmits data to bodies working in the water sector. Two years later, Google on Tuesday announced that its 'Flood Forecasting Initiatives' would cover the whole of India.

The company is also cooperating with the Water Development Board of Bangladesh. Bangladesh, India's neighbor, has more floods than any other country in the world. At the same time, Bangladesh has become the first country outside India to launch Google's service.

Google's efforts are likely to make a huge difference in the lives of people in India and Bangladesh. The company has so far sent more than 30 million notifications to flood-affected areas in India.

He said his efforts have helped 200 million people in an area of ​​250,000 square kilometers. In Bangladesh, Google's model has managed to reach 40 million people and work is underway to expand it nationwide.

‘We are providing people with information on when and how much flood water will rise. We have been sharing in-depth maps of the flood-prone areas and sharing detailed information about the user's village and region, "said Yossi Matisse, Google's engineering VP and head of Crisis Response.

In this context, the company is also working with Yale and there is a need for further improvement in the service. This year, Google will make the alert more accessible and effective.

For that, Hindi, Bengali, and seven other local languages ​​have been added and the messaging alerts will be customized in the coming days. The company has also rolled out a new forecasting model.

Which has doubled its alert warning time? Google.org, a philanthropic arm of the company, has also partnered with the International Red Cross Federation and the Red Cross Society to build local networks and provide alerts directly to those without a smartphone.

"It simply came to our notice then. Much work needs to be done in the coming days to improve the system to expand the flood-affected area to more people. To that end, we are working with our partners around the world. "

"We will continue to develop, manage, and further improve the technology. The project's digital tools will help save communities and lives, "said Mattis.
