You should know! New Nationwide Rules For Commercial Drones…

We’ve Needed Commercial Drone Rules For Years. The FAA Just Released a First Step

New nationwide rules for commercial drones www.scinotech.com (1)

On Tuesday, the Federal Aviation Administration finally announced rules for small drones (under 55 pounds) flown by commercial operators. “Part 107” allows commercial drone use under 400 feet without a pilot’s license. Instead, operators will take a test and get certified to fly particular types of drones, which should streamline the process significantly.

The new rules will spur drone proliferation and innovation. The FAA says they could stimulate $82 billion in industry and create upward of 100,000 jobs within 10 years.

Once you’ve demonstrated your piloting wherewithal on paper, you’ll need a drone that weighs less than 55 lb (25 kg). Models that consumers may be familiar with, such DJI’s popular Phantom series or the Parrot Bepop, weigh no more than 3 lb (1.27 kg), so anything approaching 55 lb is going to be one serious piece of equipment.

Under the new rules, drones can be flown to a maximum altitude of 400 ft (122 m) at up to 100 mph (161 km/h), and must be kept within the pilot’s line of sight at all times. Night-time flight is no-no, but if your drone is equipped with anti-collision lights, flying 30 minutes either side of official sunrise or sunset is A-OK. Pilots cannot operate more than one aircraft at a time and cannot fly over people.

The FAA says it is willing to waive some of these rules if operators can prove that the flight will be conducted safely. In the coming months, it will set up an online portal through which operators can make their cases for these special waivers.

“But as currently written, you can still not fly over people, you can still not fly beyond the line of sight and you cannot operate more than one drone at a time. And those are really the three key things that are required for the drone delivery industry to emerge at scale.”

“Because this is the FAA saying, ‘We’re serious about this and this is no longer just a vision, this is now going to be a reality.’ It’s simply about how quickly the regulators can move to make it happen.”

Emerald Tree Boa

Image
Corallus caninus, commonly called the emerald tree boa, is a non-venomous boa species found in the rainforests of South America. Since 2009 the corallus batesii species is fully recognized and split from the synonymy corallus caninus. If your familiar with Green Tree Pythons you will notice that Emerald Tree Boas look very much like Green Tree Pythons. Emerald Tree Boas grow to about five foot as adults and are a more aggressive species of snakes. The snake usually hangs up in the tree with its head hanging down so it can grab its prey if it approaches from below and then it constricts its prey and kills it before it swallows its prey. The Emerald Tree Boa spends its days up in the branches of a tree and hunts at night. The Emerald Tree Boa will feed on almost any small mammal and also birds. It was once thought that the snake fed only on birds but it is now known that this is not true. It catches its prey extremely fast and its metabolism is much slower than snake...

Zeer Pot help the rural poor in a cost-effective ( desert refrigerator )

Image
Northern Nigeria is an impoverished region where people in rural communities eke out a living from subsistence farming. With no electricity, and therefore no refrigeration, perishable foods spoil within days. Such spoilage causes disease and loss of income for needy farmers, who are forced to sell their produce daily. SOLUTION ??? I would like to introduce you the Zeer Pot (pot-in-pots) “ The pot-in-pot to help the rural poor in a cost-effective, participatory and sustainable way. ” The pot-in-pot consists of two earthenware pots of different diameters, one placed inside the other. The space between the two pots is filled with wet sand that is kept constantly moist, thereby keeping both pots damp. Fruit, vegetables and other items such as soft drinks are put in the smaller inner pot, which is covered with a damp cloth. The phenomenon that occurs is based on a simple principle of physics: the water contained in the sand between the two pots evaporates towards the out...
