Pocket camera Sony HDR-GW66VE for extreme sports

03.05.2013

Action sports fans will appreciate Sony's new HDR-GW66VE camcorder. The Sony camcorder is both compact in size, easy to control and a reinforced body, protected from all sorts of misfortunes.

The Sony HDR-GW66VE camcorder meets all the requirements for such devices: it records video in Full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels at up to 50 frames per second), has a backlit Exmor R matrix and high-strength G Lens optics. You can start shooting even during the next trick or at high speed - all you need to do is press the big red button.

Sony HDR-GW66VE can also work as a camera. The pictures are 20,4 megapixels with a fairly high level of quality. For viewing, a 3-inch tilting touchscreen display is used, which can be rotated 180 degrees.

The case of the considered camcorder is made taking into account possible frequent falls, including in mud, snow and puddles. He is not afraid of water or dust, and even a 10-degree frost is nothing to him. At the same time, the device itself is very thin and, presumably, light, although its weight is not indicated in the press release.

Sony HDR-GW66VE shoots in any weather and in any light. In the settings, you can select the format and resolution of the video for ease of viewing on a computer or the fastest possible upload to YouTube. The camera does not yet have a retail price, but it does have a release date of June 2013. Sony also promises an impressive array of accessories, including various mounts and additional housings.

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Global warming wakes up volcanoes 04.01.2013

Obviously, volcanic eruptions affect the climate: huge amounts of sulfur dioxide are released, which subsequently reflects the sun's rays, cooling the planet for several years. But it turns out that the opposite also happens: periods of warming following periods of glaciation can lead to more frequent eruptions.

Recently, a team of geologists studied samples of oceanic bottom mud along the perimeter of the Pacific Ring of Fire, looking for signs of long-standing eruptions. The million-year-thick bottom layer contained layers of ash from 91 eruptions. By the location of these layers, the researchers were able to determine the approximate date of each of them. Analyzing the frequency distribution of these layers of ash, scientists found a pattern: major eruptions occurred every 41 years. This seemingly random figure is actually well known to paleoclimatologists: for 000 years, the Earth's axis cyclically tilts.

This periodic process is one of the three Milankovitch cycles that affect the earth's climate. Since the tilt of the earth's axis is the cause of the seasons, when it decreases, seasonal temperature fluctuations decrease. Due to this, in high latitudes, all the ice accumulated during the winter does not have time to melt during the summer, which leads to periods of glaciation.

But how might ice ages affect volcanoes? In the most direct way. During such periods, the water on the planet shifts part of its weight from the oceans to the surface of the continents, creating huge, up to kilometers thick, crusts of ice on their surface. With warming, all this ice is again leaving the continents. This movement is transmitted to the magma below the earth's surface; a rapid decrease in such pressure can cause magma to be released in the form of volcanic eruptions.
