this is it? there you go. it s pretty mind blowing to think that this can support hundreds of tons of concrete and solar panels. that s right. it doesn t seem like it, but it works! it s amazing. these floating systems, they will have to last around about 20 years, more or less. you have a lot of mechanical stress on the platform. so essentially what we tried to do is to design a compound that can have the best of both worlds, so recycled polyethylene and cork. but despite their advantages, it s estimated that currently less than i% of the world s solar installations are floating. this is in part due to cost and being able to position panels at an optimum angle to maximise their output. but already, new tech is being developed that allows a solar farm, like this one in the netherlands, to track the sun throughout the day, rather like a sunflower does. it s claimed that sun tracking installations could increase energy production by a third, and so the future looks bright for solar, wher
fantastic! are you sure?! they laugh here on click, we ve been lucky enough to visit some of the most beautiful parts of the world. yet what goes on beneath the surface in some of these places can serve as the starkest reminder of the effects of pollution and climate change on our world. and sometimes it s also places like here, the fjords of norway, where some of the most inspiring ideas come to life, like this island of floating solar panels. oh, thank you. i ve made it! wow. we re walking on water. i remember you wobbling about on that solar array in the fjord. it was only like a few millimetres thick under your feet, wasn t it? yeah, it was all about the material. it had to be light enough that it could do the job, whilst also being strong enough to be able to withstand any weather conditions. well, fortunately, today s one is much sturdier.
this will clean up at thrice the rate. and then our models show that if we then deploy roughly ten of those systems, we can actually clean up most of the great pacific garbage patch by the end of the decade. so rivers really are the arteries that carry trash from land to sea. so when it rains, plastic washes from streets into creeks, into rivers and then ultimately to the ocean. so we have developed a collection of technologies we call interceptors, which are automated systems that we put in the mouth of rivers and that catches the trash before it reaches the oceans. kind of our flagship tool in our toolkit is what we call the interceptor original, which is this solar powered autonomous robot, essentially, that has these conveyor belts to automatically scoop out the trash. distribute it in dumpsters and then when it s full, you can empty it and essentially keep cleaning. we ve developed these ai powered cameras.
that the largest deal in gaming history would not harm competitors. wilson has designed a first of its kind 3d printed basketball, which was introduced during the first round of the att s slamdunk contest. it is made using resin powder and nearly fits performance regulations, however, nothing will change for the official game ball! as the name suggests, psvr 2 is the successor to 2016 s 06 playstation vr. still got it! cosmetically, it s a pretty sleek headset. it does away with the jumble of cables and post processing box that made the original playstation vr such a pain to set up and live with. instead, it has just one cable which connects to the playstation v console via a usb c.
that is it. thanks to the addition of four cameras on the outside of the headset, the player can see the space around them if they need to and the device doesn t need the same sort of extravagant webcam and coloured light set up that was the hallmark of the original. it comes with a set of headphones, although you can plug your own headphones into it if you want to. and then we have the two dedicated wireless controllers. they pretty much mimic the kind of features that you find on a normal playstation controller. so you ve got your thumbsticks here, triggers. to put the headset on, you have this button on the back, so it s adjustable, and then this little dial here allows you to get a perfect fit. inside it sports a 4k oled display, with 110 degree field of view, and there are two more cameras inside the headset for eye tracking. it also makes use of something called foveated rendering, which uses the eye tracking cameras to focus on where the player s eye is actually looking, maximis
