7 of the biggest innovations that made headlines in 2015 - home battery system

Looking forward to 2016, you will hear again "players-
Change "or" break through "was thrown a lot.
It seems like everything is in frompastatotothushes-
Hell, even the wheels are starting again. imagined.
However, few innovations can be called life. altering.
We are talking about a progress that will make a lot of progress in eliminating the spread of disease, increasing longevity and leading to a healthy sex life.
These advances have made more time for the fun of virtual reality and floating skateboards.
They designed better designs for humans to further expand their coverage in outer space.
Of course, it is essential that we reach the point where any and all of these future efforts can be driven by 100 per cent of clean energy.
In this sense, 2015 is a year in which science and technology have taken a step towards achieving this common vision.
Here's how it happened: 1.
Battery storage is getting bigger and more renewable, and while it's always a good thing, it's not enough.
This is to take-
Tesla's chief executive, powermusk, debuted in April to unveil Powerwall. Powerwall is a home battery system designed to store and supply solar energy.
On paper, clean energy is much more capable than replacing fossil fuels.
If humans can somehow transform 1/10 of the Sun the Earth receives, then the world will have all the fuel it needs at the moment.
According to a study published in natural climate change, wind power from turbines alone can meet more than 100 times the world's energy needs.
Of course, solar energy is not available around the clock or throughout the year.
Installing a wind turbine per square mile is not economically feasible.
Household and commercial battery systems help fill these gaps by storing excess energy collected during the day and releasing it at night.
When the capacity of the Powerwall unit is 7 KW, the starting price is $3,000, but it is criticized because there is no cost
Compared to the electricity bill they usually pay, it is effective for many homeowners. Installation costs and other necessary components such as DC-
AC inverter is considered.
But compared to other rechargeable home battery systems, it is cheaper because it is expected that manufacturing costs and technical costs of TeslaEnergy will decline over time. 2.
Despite a series of unsuccessful attempts, the reusable space rocket proves this, and Elon Musk's SpaceX team is close to becoming the first to send the rocket into outer space and
Come up with a rocket that can refuel.
The average cost for space missions is about $1.
Each launch 5 billion
When Amazon CEO jeff Bezos launched Blue Origin, a private space company, in November, it landed safely-
62-3 rockets
On a one-mile trip to space, Musk took the news and even sent some congratulatory props. (
Disclosure: Bezos owns The Washington Post. )
But a month later, SpaceX
After completing this feat, a Falcon 9 rocket was landed, twice the flight distance.
In response, Bezos said Brazen on Twitter: "Welcome to the club!
"It was not exactly Russia and the United States in its 60 s, but it did look like a new space race. 3.
"Female Viagra" was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for flibanserin, a pill known as "female Viagra, it has also been viewed by its supporters as giving women power, causing considerable controversy.
While considered the first treatment option to help women with low sexual desire, critics laugh at the decision as a victory in public relations, not any revolutionary victory, thanks to a strong marketing campaign that includes an extensive coalition of women's groups.
Previously, the FDA rejected the drug twice because experts expressed concern about a range of serious side effects such as low blood pressure, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and fainting.
They also pointed out that the effect of people who participated in clinical trials reporting a more satisfactory sexual experience for a month was not high compared to the placebo group.
However, the real breakthrough may be that the drug seems to work through targeted neural transmission that regulates desire and enhances sexual desire, and that sexual desire will inevitably decline as it grows older (
The difference between Viagra and other similar drugs is that they are mainly used to help the blood flow of the genitals).
Another promising compound is the synthetic hormone isBremelanotide, whose goal is to have a black skin receptor in the lower part of the visual Hill, which plays a role in maintaining healthy weight and awakening.
In a sense, the first FDA
The approved spring medicine has arrived, and this achievement heralds similar achievements --
Maybe even better.

Virtual reality is going mainstream. This should be a year for the public to immerse themselves in the virtual reality world.
It did happen. kind of.
After Facebook released various developer versions --
The early adopters ended up with Oculus and Samsung and got the first high-end product
High-end virtual products, Samsung Gear VR ($99)
Released at the end of November.
As the first excellent entrant to be considered a crowded category, despite some obvious shortcomings, the debut of the technology is mostly advantageous.
For example, magic ring-
The interface-based interface that needs to be compatible with Samsung smartphones provides a fairly wide selection of games and applications.
On the other hand, what users actually get is a simpler, limited virtual reality experience called mobile virtual reality, though on an easy-to-carry device. For full-
In terms of interactivity, consumers will soon be using desktops and consoles.
Based on systems such as HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, these systems are designed to take advantage of external cameras that track spatial positioning for a wider range of motion and interaction.
Both products will enter the market next year. 5.
Experiment-
Aging drugs will work.
Recent findings suggest that the decline in disease and health conditions is not as inevitable as previously thought with age.
Although the study has not yet reached any conclusion
At least in humans.
The emerging science of longevity is expected to open up new areas in the struggle with the father's age.
For example, the immune-inhibitory substances found in the skin of the grapes, such as sirodin and Resveratrol, have significantly prolonged their life span after experiments have shown that they are administered to mice, and have been in recent years
More notably, the FDA recently decided to approve metformin for the treatment of aging, a widely used diabetes drug.
Possible resistance of the drug
The benefits of aging come from animal research and patient data that suggest a lower incidence of cancer.
Even so, it's a tough sale.
Researchers must develop a research design that proves that the effects of resisting aging, like drugs prescribed to patients, are a viable way to fight disease.
In an interview with Nature, Nir Barzilai, a doctor at Albert Einstein Medical School in New York, will be the lead researcher, saying: "What we want to show is that if we delay aging, this is the best way to delay the disease.
"This trial, known as metformin targeted aging, is scheduled to begin in 2016. 6.
For a long time, blood testing is no longer a painful blood test, and has always been one of those things that are generally terrible.
They may be particularly taxed for the elderly and for those whose health is impaired.

Looking back on the past, with the advent of hovercraft, the inventors are scrambling to "return to the future", which will be a year for hovercraft, which is entirely reasonable.
In return to the future, the fictional timeline is set in 2015, and there is one for Marty McFly.
Hell, that means that other people should do the same.
Many fans of this classic film believe that the urgency of delivering or at least cashing last year has grown stronger.
At about that time, inventors Jill and Greg Henderson started the aKickstarter movement of the Hendo board suspension board, the askateboard is designed to allow the rider to walk on the mat generated by the magnetic force generated when rotating the magnet against the copper surface rejection.
The problem is that the street is not made of metal.
There are other clumsy attempts.
The Omni hovercraft invented by the Canadian inventor used noisy propellers and was powered off shortly after about a minute.
Lexus's hovercraft released a viral promotional video on June, briefly running several rounds, which turned out to be smaller than a promotional stunt because it needed magnets on the floor.
The latest effort is Arcaboard, which claims to be closest to delivering a truly future flight experience for $19,000 and will require 36 batteries
An array used to power a piping motor system.
Even so, it will run for about six minutes before it needs to be charged.
So far, the only "hovercraft" that really enters the market is actually hands-on.
Free segway that does not actually hover.
