How Wireless Technology Revolutionalize Printing

Just before the mid-2000s, printers were primary contributors to the tangled mess of cables behind your pc desk. As these were not ordinary cables.Working with those crazy-thick, monstrous serial and parallel cables was similar to fighting pythons within a closet. With wireless printing , you can push documents to your printer down the room or the other side of your house or office. You don't require a cable connection and in certain cases you don't even require a laptop, you just send documents via your tablet or smartphone and brew coffee at the same time. For those that print often, it's difficult to under-rate this change in the printing scenario. Presently there are various means to print using fewer cables or none at all, and you don't need a complicated printer or extra equipment.

How a Jet Engine Works

Jet engines make aeroplanes move forward with an enormous force,produced by a huge thrust and allow the aircraft to fly very fast. All jet engines,also known as  gas turbine ,operate on the same principle. The engine draws in air from the front with a fan. A compressor increases the pressure of the air,which is made with numerous blades attached to a rotating shaft. The blades move round at high very speed,compress or squeeze the air. The compressed air is sprayed with fuel and an electric spark ignites the mixture. The burning gases expand and rush out through the nozzle,located behind the engine. As the blast of hot gases shoot backwards, the engine and the aircraft moves forward under high thrust. As the hot air is moves to the nozzle, it crosses through another group of blades known as turbine. The turbine is connected to the same shaft as the compressor. Spinning the turbine also makes the compressor to spin. Types of Jet Engines Turbojets

How sonar works

Sonar(sound navigation and ranging) is the use of an echo.If an animal or machine makes a noise, it sends out sound waves into the space surrounding it. The waves bounce back off objects in its path, and some are reflected back to the source of the sound. It's the reflected sound waves that you perceive when your voice echoes back to you in an empty room.  Whales and special machine use reflected waves to locate distant objects(Echo location) and detect their shape and movement. The range and limit of low-frequency sonar is astonishing. Dolphins and whales can differentiate between very small objects size of a pellet 50 feet (15 meters) away, and they use sonar more than sight to locate their food, families, and direction.Whales send signals out bin the range 160 to 190 Db.Bats also use it to locate prey and navigate from obst

How fiber-optics works

Fiber Optic Cable A fiber-optic cable consist of highly thin rods of glass or plastic known as optical fibers; a cable can have at least two rods or as much as hundreds or more. Each rod is smaller than a tenth of thickness of human hair and can carry around 25,000 telephone calls, so one fiber-optic cable can comfortably carry million of calls or more. Fiber-optic cables move data between two or more places making use of only optical (light-based) technology. If you want to send information from your  pc to a friend's pc across the street using fiber optic cable. You can connect your pc to a laser , which will convert information from your computer into a number of light pulses. After moving along the cable, the light beams will emerge at the other end. Your friend will require a photoelectric cell (light-detecting component) that converts the pulses of light back into electrical pulses his or her computer could read. So the whole setup would be like a cool, hi-tech
