Ion reactor. Ion Reactor is an invention by a British scientist.

History
In 2011, Dr Christopher Strevens (an inventor from London) began posting a website with instructions of how to build his "fusion reactor", which he says: "Creates helium from hydrogen. It also captures the power given off during the reaction as electrical power." He also posted several videos to YouTube showing his prototype in operation, and showing the different color of gas from before versus after; as well as showing spectral analysis that indicates that the hydrogen that he puts into the system has transmuted to helium—a nuclear phenomenon.

He said: "I found that when I increased the exciter power to 800 Watts, the output rose to 2,000 Watts [2.5-times overunity], and when I isolated the reactor from the exciter, this power remained. The spark gap regulator became active, keeping the power at this level. I only allowed this for a short time before reconnecting the exciter and turning the power down and the reaction ceased."

Because of the experiment being dangerous it would require a special paramagnetic ceramic bottle glazed inside to contain hydrogen ions and use the magnetic field of the coils and induction of ion fields to make a magnetic bottle to confine the ion reactions.

A brief description of the device, being a hydrogen tube wrapped with high voltage coils and a sort of energizing coil being similar to a high voltage tesla coil for the ionizer. The device having been made in a clear glass tube in early experiments uses induction to ionize the gases and the field made by ionized gases to energize ion tube coils.

The effect is similar to pyroelectric fusion but instead of pyroelectric crystals stripping the electrons from hydrogen atoms it is a high voltage induced electromagnetic field of coils and electrostatic induction of the ionized gas.

Shuttle Eye Colliery. Shuttle Eye Colliery was a coal mine on the West Yorkshire Coalfield at Grange Moor between Wakefield and Huddersfield on the A642 road, in England.

The colliery was started in 1862 by Lockwood and Elliott and had two shafts, the deepest 288 yards. It produced coal from the Beeston and Black Bed seams. Two drift mines at Gregory Spring in Hopton near Mirfield to the north were linked to Shuttle Eye in 1962. The colliery was nationalised in 1947. It closed in 1973.

In 1896 the colliery had 86 underground workers and 13 on the surface. By 1923 the workforce numbered 179 and 175 ten years later. At nationalisation the colliery had 234 underground and 40 surface workers. The colliery employed 222 workers in the 1970s.

After the closure of the colliery, the site has been overbuilt with warehouses.

Kimball and Morton of Glasgow. Kimball & Morton were a Glasgow-based manufacturer of domestic and industrial sewing machines active between 1867 and 1955.

Company inception 
The first office set up in the UK by I.M. Singer was at 11 Buchanan Street in Glasgow in 1856, and the manager of this office was called Alonzo Kimball. John Morton was one of the firm’s travelling salesmen for England.
Kimball began to patent improvements in sewing machines in his own name on 30 June 1864 (Patent no. 1632), 23 July 1866 (Patent no. 1908) and 11 March 1867 (Patent no. 687). These patents were for machines that were heavyweight and designed for use on canvas and heavyweight materials such as sack cloth. John Morton then joined Kimball and together they created the Kimball & Morton Company in 1867. Patent number 2227, dated 27 June 1877 was the first patent to appear under both names. Until this point their factory was based at 82 Bishop Street, Andertson, Glasgow, and they had showrooms at 114 Argyle Street.

The 'Lion' 
Kimball and Morton are most famous for their unusual ‘Lion’ machines and the first of these was manufactured in 1868. The design uses a transverse shuttle lockstitch mechanism with the upper mechanism and the needle bar secreted beneath a bronzed cast iron lion. A pair of matching legs could be attached to hide the lower needle bar and presser foot when the machine was not in use. The treadle was equally ornate with depictions of a lion and eagle as well as the motto ‘Strength and Speed’. The Lion sewing machine was the only British-made sewing machine to win a medal at the American Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876. A rare example of both the Lion treadle machine of 1868 and hand crank model of 1902 can be seen at Glasgow Museums Resource Centre.

In March 2019 a Kimball and Morton Lion sewing machine was valued between £10,000 and £15,000 on BBC programme 'The Antiques Roadshow'

The company also produced successful industrial machines that were used for work with such items as sails. When patents for the Singer 12k and 13k expired Kimball and Morton produced a family and medium machine in 1878 that continued to be produced right into the early 1900s.

Kimball and Morton became a limited company in 1887 with its main office and factory situated at Bothwell Circus in Glasgow.

On 9 October 1902 the sons of John Morton put in a patent (No.21933) for the second Lion machine which could be made as a hand or treadle machine. The lion (sculpted to look like the work of J. Vasteugh Gyorgy) stands on rocks that are hinged to allow the needle bar, presser foot and shuttle race to be seen whilst the head of the lion is also hinged to allow the user to insert the top reel and alter tension.

Kimball and Morton produced many different models of machine over the years and moved to new premises at 11a Norfolk Street, Glasgow.

American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association. The American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association (commonly referred to as ARCSA) is an American non-profit association founded by Dr. Hari Krishna in 1994, focused on rainwater awareness and to promote sustainable rainwater harvesting (RWH) practices in the United States and around the world.

ARCSA's efforts include: creating a favorable regulatory atmosphere, creating a resource pool and educating professionals and the general public regarding safe rainwater harvesting design, installation and maintenance practices. It has more than 1,500 members consisting of both manufacturers as well as dealers/distributors of equipment.

In 2014, ARCSA created a White House petition to stimulate the rainwater-harvesting industry. While the petition didn't receive the 100,000 votes in 3 months needed to move to the next stage, ARCSA used this as a platform to begin a petition with Change.org to create an International Rainwater Harvesting Day.

In 2015, ARCSA merged with the Canadian Association of Rainwater Management (CANARM) and will continue as a North American association.

Ulu Muda Forest. The Greater Ulu Muda Forest Complex (GUMFC) is a large expanse of lowland dipterocarp forest in Baling and Sik Districts, Kedah, Malaysia, on the border with Thailand. The area has high biodiversity thanks to relatively low rates of poaching and human intrusion. A number of endangered species are known to be present in the GUMFC. The forest is in the Peninsular Malaysian rain forests ecoregion.

The water that it provides through the man-made Muda, Pedu and Ahning lakes provide water to the Muda agricultural area as well as much of Kedah, Penang and Perlis.

The forest has been both selectively and illegally logged in the past, possibly causing excess sedimentation of the water courses, and the future of the forest remains uncertain.

The majority of the forest is not very accessible, the easiest point of entry being the KOPAM jetty on Muda Lake.

Ulu Muda Wildlife Reserve covers an area of 1152.57 km2. The reserve adjoins San Kala Khiri National Park in Thailand.

Thymio. Thymio II is an educational robot in the 100 Euros price range. The robot was developed at the EPFL in collaboration with ECAL, both in Lausanne, Switzerland. A purely-visual programming language was developed at ETH Zurich
. All components, both hardware and software, are open source. The main features of the robot are a large number of sensors and actuators, educational interactivity based on light and touch, and a programming environment featuring graphical and text programming. Thymio has over 20 sensors and 40 lights and integrates with third party languages such as MIT's Scratch.

One of the unique features of these robots is its design, production, and commercialization by a full open-source and non-profit chain of actors. This very alternative approach has been justified by the educational goal of the project. The design has been mainly made by universities (EPFL, écal and ETHZ) within research programs (NCCR Robotics). Mechanics, electronics and software are open source. The company producing Thymio, called Mobsya is a non-profit organization.

Many articles have been written about how to teach with Thymio in the classroom including the article, "Classroom robotics: Motivating independent learning and discovery" on Robohub.  Research and new Thymio projects are constantly being done as noted by IEEE. In 2020 Thymio's pedagogical design was evaluated by Education Alliance Finland. In the evaluation, a group of teacher-evaluators in Switzerland assessed Thymio's curriculum alignment, pedagogy, and usability through using a science-based product evaluation method, developed by Education Alliance Finland and Finnish educational researchers. The product evaluation was funded by Stiftung Mercator and as an outcome of the evaluation, Thymio was granted a pedagogical quality certification.

The robot is in production and distributors of Thymio include Sturiel.com and TechyKids.com.

Simulation 
A simulation model of the Thymio II compatible with Aseba Studio is available in Webots and a 3D interactive model of the robot can be found here.

Contests 
Since August 18, 2017, the Thymio II robot is used in various international online contest on Robotbenchmark.
