EMER-K1. The EMER K-1, sometimes known as the EMER K1 or EMERK-1, was a prototype bullpup assault rifle made in Myanmar by the Electrical Mechanical and Engineering Corps (EMEC). Reverse engineered in 1995 from the Chinese QBZ-97 assault rifle, the EMER K-1 was prone to stoppage.

History
The EMER K-1's development started after Ng Chung-Keung, a subsidiary of Chinese defense contractor Norinco, exported a batch of QBZ-97 assault rifles to Myanmar. Norinco decided not to export any more QBZ-97s due to arms sanctions placed on the country. Myanmar, in response, refused to return them and subsequently were used as the basis for reverse engineering studies.

It was designed by EMEC engineers in 1995 with a batch of 15-16 firearms made for testing and evaluation.

Some EMER-K1s were issued to elite Myanmar troops on guard duty at the Yadana gas field, according to Yangon-based diplomats in 1998.

The EMER-K1 was not adopted by the Tatmadaw due to various problems on reliability and multiple incidents of stoppages and gun jams. The QBZ-97 was reexamined in order to reverse engineer it once again. This time, the decision was made to use the QBZ-97 as the basis for the MA-1 MK III assault rifle family.

Design
Reports suggested that the development of the EMER-K1 was made possible due to technical assistance from Singapore, in violation of United Nations arms sanctions. This was also made possible due to machinery allegedly supplied by Singapore.

Construction of the EMER-K1s were done via stamping with all-metal bodies. The design was based on other assault rifles like the SAR21, SA80, M16, IMI Tavor and the Steyr AUG.

The EMER-K1's flash hider, carry handle, magazine housing, bayonet stud, sling swivels and flip aperture sights are based on the M16 series. The pistol grip, trigger, trigger guard, stock and vent holes are based on the SA80 series.

The rifle’s action appears to be based on the QBZ-95's gas piston. The fire selector has three settings and is positioned on the left side behind the magazine well with the charging handle position on the right side.

Variants

EMER-K1 Assault Rifle
The basic version of the EMER-K1. It, like the LMG version, are 832mm in length with effective range and firing rate as 400m and 650 rounds per minute. Its weight is 4 kg.

EMER-K1 LMG
An LMG version of the EMER-K1. The barrel appears to be an AKM-based muzzle-climb compensator while having a different handguard. It is 500g heavier at 4.5kg with no magazine.

Carlson Skycycle. The Carlson Skycycle is an American, single-seat, low-wing, single-engine, homebuilt aircraft that was originally designed by A. Hanford Eckman in 1945 and re-designed as a replica by Ernst W. Carlson and produced by Carlson Aircraft of East Palestine, Ohio in kit form. The prototype was completed in 1995.

The Carlson Skycycle is a full-size replica of the Piper PA-8 Skycycle and the prototype was donated to the Piper Aviation Museum when no orders for the aircraft kit were forthcoming.

Design and development
Carlson Skycycle was conceived by designer Ernst W. Carlson as a tribute to the original design of A. Hanford Eckman at Piper Airplane Corporation. The original PA-8 was intended to have been one of Piper Aircraft]'s post-World War II aircraft models, but only the prototype was built and it did not enter production. Nevertheless, the PA-8 offered good performance, cruising at  on just .

Carlson set out to build a replica as close as possible to the original, working from the only surviving documents, some sketches, a few photographs and one three-view drawing. The original materials were not duplicated and the Carlson model is built with a fiberglass fuselage over a welded steel frame, with a 2024-T3 aluminium tail cone, supported by internal bulkheads. The aircraft has a Plexiglas canopy. The original PA-8's engine was specified, a Lycoming O-145 of  .

Carlson's plan in recreating the Skycycle was to offer kits for sale, but the design requires factory assistance and special tooling to complete and no kits beyond the prototype were completed. Construction time from the kit was intended to be 800 hours.

Aichi AB-2. The Aichi AB-2 was a prototype Japanese reconnaissance floatplane of the 1930s. It was a single-engined biplane, of which two examples were built, but no production followed.

Design and development

In 1929, Tetsuo Miki, a designer at Aichi Tokei Denki Kabushiki Kaisha (Aichi Watch and Electrical Machinery Company) started the design of a catapult launched reconnaissance floatplane with the aim of replacing the Nakajima E2N aboard the Imperial Japanese Navy's warships. Miki's design was a small single-engined biplane. Its fuselage was of steel tube construction with fabric covering, while it had wooden wings that folded to the rear for storage aboard ship. Powerplant was a 330 hp (246 kW) Aichi AC-1, an experimental radial engine. The two-man crew sat in open cockpits, while the aircraft's undercarriage consisted of twin floats.

The two prototypes were completed and flown in 1930. The AC-1 engine was not successful, however, and the project was abandoned after one of the prototypes was destroyed when an exhaust fire spread to the fuselage. The type did form the basis of the later Aichi AB-3 floatplane, of which a single example was built in 1932 for China.

Lam Takhong Dam. The Lam Takhong Dam (, , ) is an embankment dam on the Lam Takhong River between Pak Chong District and Sikhio District in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand. The dam was originally constructed in 1974 for the purposes of irrigation and water supply but after 2002, its water storage also serves as the lower reservoir for the Lam Takhong pumped storage power plant, Thailand's first power plant of that type.

Background
Construction on the Lam Takhong Dam began in 1969 and was completed in 1974, while the pumped storage project was initially proposed in 1975. From 1989 to 1991, the Japan International Cooperation Agency funded a feasibility study. Khon Kaen University conducted an environmental impact assessment beginning in 1991 and by 1994, the project was approved for construction. The project was to be constructed in two 500 MW phases. The first phase began in December 1995 and was completed in 2001, with the first two 250 MW generators operational in August 2002. After the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Phase 2 never began. The power plant and its components were constructed underground to preserve the nature and scenery of the area. During construction, various complaints were raised about the blasting of the upper reservoir. The dust from blasting reportedly had negative effects on locals and their farms.

Design and operation

The Lam Takhong Dam is a  long and  high earth-fill embankment dam. It creates a reservoir with a capacity of . The upper reservoir  is located  southwest of the main dam on top of a hill. The upper reservoir is created by an asphalt lining  long and  high. It has a capacity of  and surface area of . The power station is a pumped-storage type and contains two 250 MW reversible pump-generators. Water is a first pumped to the upper reservoir and then during peak-demand hours, it is sent back down to the power station for power production. This process repeats itself. The power station is connected to the upper reservoir via two  long,  diameter penstocks. Water returning from the power station does so via two  long,  diameter tailrace tunnels.

In September 2014, EGAT awarded a US$64.3 million contract to Voith Hydro to supply electromechanical equipment for the expansion of the facility. The expansion will more than double Lam Takhong's current output capacity. When complete, total capacity of the pumped storage plant will be 1,000 MW—500 MW from two units installed in Phase 1 and 500 MW from two units installed in Phase 2. The expansion is expected to be completed in 2018.
