Can Fusion Technology Help to Make Clean Energy Cheaper?

Despite the advances in solar and wind energies in recent years, 80 percent of the world still relies on fossil fuels as its source of energy. However, it is now generally accepted this needs to change. This has spurred the search for a clean and cheap energy source. Fusion as an alternate energy source Enter fusion, tipped as a hot contender for the world’s energy source that could replace fossil fuels. That this source of energy is being taken up seriously is evident from the funding of fusion startups by billionaires such as Jeff Bezos, Paul Allen and Peter Thiel in the past few years. They have established pioneering companies, such as General Fusion and TAE Technologies. Despite the setback suffered by the National Ignition Facility (the US fusion effort continuing for the past over two decades), new fusion concepts are being funded, and the research is taking a new direction. Moreover, the fusion research has entered the garage, where hobbyists can be seen fusing atoms and giving a fillip to a growing amateur fusion movement.

Powerful open source SQLite manager for Raspberry Pi

SQLite is a lightweight but powerful database management tool. It occupies a little space on the device – a bit more than 500KB, but offers most of the features implemented on other SQL database tools. SQLite is a serverless engine, meaning that the whole database is stored in a single file, and all transactions are reads and write from the file. There are no initial server configurations required – all you need is to create a .db file and start writing queries. This is why SQLite is preferred on small devices like mobile phones, embedded devices, and Raspberry Pi. Previously, we have installed an SQLite into Raspberry Pi, created a database and table with only a few lines of script. We performed all the tasks from the command-line tool. Eventually, you will want to have full control of the database and see the whole picture. Therefore, you should also consider installing SQLite manager, which brings a graphical user interface to work with SQL databases. To run the SQLite manager, you will need to work from the Raspberry Pi desktop. You may want to connect a monitor or use a VNC client to access the Raspberry Pi desktop like me. VNC…

All Things IoT

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you must have heard about IoT. But, do you know what exactly IoT is? In the simplest terms, IoT or Internet of Things refers to the network of connected devices capable of collecting and sharing data across the network. Over the past few years, IoT has grown in popularity, and it’s believed that about 33 billion devices will be connected to IoT by 2020.
