[Matt] wanted to drive a Yuji LED array. The LED requires 30 V and at 100 watts, it generates a lot of heat. He used a Corsair water cooling system made for a CPU cooler to carry away the heat. The…
The HydraLux lightbulb is, according to its manufacturer Eternal LEDs, the world’s first liquid-cooled bulb. Liquid cooling is usually reserved for machines which need to shift a lot of heat, and fast: Car engines, high-end gaming rigs and Cray supercomputers. So why an LED lightbulb? It seems tha...

I decided to write a bit on this topic to help explain liquid cooling grow lights and why and when you may want to do it instead of air cooling. First, let... Read more

Away from the high-profile entertainment of the BBC's Dragons' Den programme, thousands of UK entrepreneurs attempt to raise capital by pitching their companies to so-called angel investors.
This would be a good idea if a site had templates that were legally binding. There is no real reason why you need a solicitor just to check you are not infringing on someone else’s patent. Google do a patent checker for free btw.
Good idea, indeed thousands of students from many countries have already signed one that reads: “I promise to work for a better world, where science and technology are used in socially responsible ways. I will not use my education for any purpose intended to harm human beings or the environment. Throughout my career, I will consider the ethical implications of my work before I take action. While the demands placed upon me may be great, I sign this declaration because I recognize that individual responsibility is the first step on the path to peace.”

10 Deadly Inventions in History - Some We Used Everyday
Wondering who are the most evil people in the history of the world? It’s not just Hitler but many other notorious men in the history who did unimaginable crimes against humanity!
According to the team behind this, the hairbrush is aimed at ceasing the conventional consumer behavior of discarding the brush and purchasing a new one once the brush becomes clogged.
Hard to argue with this. But I don’t think God or some alien had to think something like a Universe up in order for it to exist. One thing is for sure though, all things AND ideas will perish, leaving no-thing and no-idea.
Like the idea but some things were just things before anyone thought of them, such as planets and atoms. Other things may not have been real things, but they are universal ideas that seem to exist independently of our cultures and social norms…
“there are the ideas that do not distinguish themselves by what can be seen or heard, but by what can be felt. Their names are truth, justice, faith, hope, love, they do not seek to be known but to be felt.”
Adding this link to another idea on ideamill. Lots of good comments, especially relating to the idea of nobody having original ideas anymore. Thing is, surely all ideas were original at one point?

Necessity has undoubtedly brought about several major inventions like telephones, computers, and the Internet, to name a few.
https://www.markercontent.com/articles/technology/9-best-examples-of-necessity-is-the-mother-of-invention-283166
If there is one factor that has been a huge driving force of invention and evolution, it’s human adversity!
Several other major scientific inventions and discoveries, like X-rays, penicillin, insulin, and LSD, came by accidentally.
I concur. Isaac Newton’s discovery of gravity is one perfect example of how necessity doesn’t drive invention.
There are some alternatives, but a dedicated site would be good considering this and the advantage the dragons get over the inventors…

“Patents Pending” status is free – at the cost of £270 ahem.

There have been some bad ones for sure, see this video.
