R-Rube Goldberg Machine

Rube Goldberg machine is an innovative engineering idea that does simple tasks in complicated ways.

It has a history related to a cartoonist Mr Rube Goldberg who had ideas of machines doing the daily chores of humans' like tearing the calendar date , wiping sweat and feeding for a working person in complicated and comical ways in his cartoons. This inspired many youth who started to do these machines as a hobby and named them Rube Goldberg machine .

In 1931 dictionaries adopted the word 'Rube Goldberg' as an adjective to define complicated tasks.

In 1987 Purdeu University in Indiana started the annual national Rube Goldberg machine competition. Now there are many people called Rube Goldberg experts who are good at doing these machines.

R-Romulus

Romulus is a Greek god who was the son of Hercules and Rhea Silvia. He had a twin brother Remus.

It is said that Romulus was the one who created Rome and that is why it is called so. But some believe that they were created by fate to create Rome.

They were born and grew together and at last decide to build a city . While doing so angry Romulus killed Remus.

Archeologists have even found proof that Romulus and Remus were alive with the help of some coins of their period

R - Rufous Rat-Kangaroo

Rufous Rat-Kangaroo also known as Rufous Bettong is a small mammal which is found in the coastal and sub-coastal regions in Australia.

Rufous rat kangaroo

It is about the size of a fully grown rabbit. It is mainly grey in color with a little bit of reddish brown mixed in the grey.  It mostly feeds on  fungi, tubers or underground plants, leaves and other found vegetables.

It is called as Rat-Kangaroo because of its unusual things to a rat, like having immature joey in the pouch and hopping as its locomotive activity like a Kangaroo.

Because of its large size and its unusual adaptations it is the only member of its family or Genus.

R-Rains

Rains or the sea of Rains is a lava plain on the moon.  .  Which formed because of an asteroid colloiding on the moon in the northwestern hemisphere.

Rains is also called as Imbrium Basin or  MareImbrium - In latin Sea of Rains or Sea of Showers.

It had been estimated that the Basin is dating to 4 million years.  But it had also got altered in the 4 million years of its existence that is it is now not as flat as it was, when it formed.

It has a diameter of 1146 km making it one of the largest creators in the Solar System and the largest creator on the moon.  It is surrounded by three rings of moutains, which range upto 5 to 7 kms in height from the base of the Basin, which makes the Imbrium Basin, 12 km deep.

In the centre of the Basin there had been found a very concentrated amount of gravitational force, which is also called as Mass concentration or MasCon, making it  one of the toughest place in the moon to walk.

Hi Guys

So as planned tomorrow and day after will have no posts . But do not stop reading , on monday I will be back with a place beginning with R

Guess what not all of us can go to that place or may be none of us can go to that place???!!!!!!!!!!

See  you all on monday

If anyone finds atleast where that place is please comment the guess .

Byeeee......

B-Big Bang

Okay many scientists believe that the universe formed as the result of an explosion called Big Bang which is estimated to have occurred about 14 billion years ago. It was an explosion of all the matter in the universe , which was squashed into a tiny area at more than
10 billion^oC. The matter is said to have exploded so quickly that it had got as big as the sun within one hundredth of a second. Big Bang has no residues to confirm the theory .

The big bang

Now just imagine , there is nothing not even space. Then everything is just squeezed in , creating a lot of heat energy to about 10 billion^oC which then makes the whole thing burst which creates hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms which are the basic things of the universe . Then imagine the explosion as a very high speed one that it could even have happened in a
5 ^th dimensional place .

It is even calculated that the big bang is still happening that is the universe is still expanding.........It has been supported with the constant position changing or moving away of all the other celestial beings but in a very low speed and the temperature of outer space is 3^oC that proves that big bang could be a process which is either very slow or happening very fast that it is beyond calculable time causing these miscalculations.

B-Bakelite

Bakelite was the first ever invented synthetic polymer which could be written as polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride C₆H₆O·CH₂O or could be simply told as the first type of plastic . It was first synthesised by a Belgium - American scientist Leo Baekeland in Newyork during 1907 it is believed in the month of June . 

This was at first used as a substitute of shellac an insulator used on electrical appliances. But then it was used for making outer casings of radios and other objects which were heavy to make them light . It was then even made into rings bangles and so on.

But for a matter of fact on those days it was not the cheapest thing but one of the costliest . As the cost of making was so high.

Another IDEA ;)

Hi guys,

How are u all?

Hope u are all enjoying the blog .
Okay as I like it to be very interactive I would like to tell u all that I am gonna post only a post a day and this even puts us in a pattern like for the first week we have chosen the letter "B" so on monday I post the name , on tuesday the place and so on.

But I have planned about an idea for naming this thought of mine. Like "PLANTS" that is
Pl-place                    (monday)
A-animal                  (tuesday)
N-name                    (wednesday)
T-thing                     (thursday)
S-science                  (friday)

Saturday and sunday     holidays........................... but just for posting and not for reading...........

B-Blue Shark

Blue Shark or Prionace glauca will grow to be 12.5 feet in length. They weight a maximum of about 450 pounds. They range in color from a light blue to a deeper shade of it. They may have several shades of blue on their bodies with the darkest colors on the top.

Blue sharks , as they prefer cooler water they are often found in sub tropical areas where it doesn’t get too warm in very deep waters. You will not be able to see one unless you are diving in the depths of the ocean.

Sometimes a blue shark leaps out of the water. They enjoy doing this in order to see what types of foods are on the surface for them to dine upon. They are extremely fast swimmers and so it can be hard to track them. They swim long distances in order to follow the food sources.They don’t have any fixed habitat that they can continually return to. They are known to move thousands of miles in the water in the span of very little time.

Their favorite food is squid but it isn’t always readily available. They eat fish, mollusks, small sharks, sea birds, and even garbage they find floating around in the water.

They have been involved in numerous attacks on people and some of them have resulted in death due to the force of the jaws and teeth they are said to have.

They are near threatened animals.Millions of them are hunted each year. They are killed to use their body for various types of products. The skin of the blue shark is dried out to make leather out of. The liver is used to remove oil from. If such high numbers of them continue to be killed it won’t be long before they are endangered.

Laws may have to be passed to protect them from hunting to maintain their numbers. 

B-Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the western part of the Atlantic Ocean, which is said to be a mysterious place where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared. The triangle's three vertices are in Miami, Florida peninsula; in San Juan, Puerto Rico; and in the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda , with the total area of 3,900,000 km²

There are many disappearings that have happened in the triangle but a contrary thing is it that it is one of the most heavily traveled shipping routes in the world, with ships passing through it daily. Cruise ships are also a common thing over there, and aircraft regularly go back and forth between Florida and the islands. It is also a heavily flown route for commercial and private aircraft heading towards Florida, the Caribbean, and South America from North America.   

Vincent Gaddis was the first person to really give the triangle the first boundaries . He published it in Argosy a magazine in 1964. But till now the name is not recognized by the US Board on Geographic Names and according to the US Navy, the triangle does not exist.

 According to the US Navy, the triangle does not exist, and the name is not recognized by the US Board on Geographic Names. Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were spurious, inaccurately reported, or embellished by later authors.

Paranormal explanations

There are a number of supernatural concepts to explain the events.

One explanation was that the leftover technology from the mythical lost continent of Atlantis has been invoked and that is the one sucking selective people into it.

The other one is that the prescence of UFOs. This idea was used by Steven Spielberg for his science fiction film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which features the lost Flight 19 aircrews as alien abductees.

Natural explanations

Compass variations

It is even said that there is a magnetic field in the area and could make the compasses fail and even pull some metallic objects (ships , aircrafts) into the sea.

Gulf Stream

The Gulf Stream is a major surface current, primarily driven by thermohaline circulation that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and then flows through the Straits of Floridainto the North Atlantic. In essence, it is a river within an ocean, and, like a river, it can and does carry floating objects. It has a surface velocity of up to about 2.5 metres per second (5.6 mi/h). A small plane making a water landing or a boat having engine trouble can be carried away from its reported position by the current.

Violent weather

Tropical cyclones are powerful storms, which form in tropical waters and have historically cost thousands of lives lost and caused billions of dollars in damage. The sinking of Francisco de Bobadilla's Spanish fleet in 1502 was the first recorded instance of a destructive hurricane. These storms have in the past caused a number of incidents related to the Triangle.

Methane hydrates

An explanation for some of the disappearances has focused on the presence of large fields of methane hydrates (a form of natural gas) on the continental shelves. Laboratory experiments carried out in Australia have proven that bubbles can, indeed, sink a scale model ship by decreasing the density of the water .
