The company revealed boat on during an event at the Pinellas Park headquarters on Dec 16 the price is 300k. They will be making 10 of these boats in 2024. Its going to be made out of aluminum, and its lithium-ion phosphate batteries hold 221 kilowatts of energy (Tesla's Cybertruck holds 250 kW). They will also have long solar panels, which can power small appliances but need hours of exposure to charge the battery fully. The yacht is like a electric car, it's fast and can stop instantly because of its torque control. Its is 30 feets long.

Should we use technology to make Football safer?

2024-01-05 15:41:24 UTC

Well that depends because the more aggressive Football is fun but,there is a lot of risk like. Some scientist have done studies on athletic injuries, and studies show that with traditional gear there is a higher risk of neck and spinal injuries. And at LSU they are making a technologically advanced Football helmet so that they can reduce the risk of injury and make the game more fun for all of us, But i personally say no i like traditional Football.

2024-01-05 15:41:27 UTC

A computer can think very well, to put it simple they think like us humans and soon will be far greater advanced they us.

We want to make a super computer that will be able to talk to us like a human and give real responses.

Computers make our life easier let us know information that is crucial and useful and computers get that by better than we humans do, so in the end a computer and think a lot and do a lot and help us a lot and we are very thankful for them.

Is AI Risky?

2024-01-05 15:41:54 UTC

In the article,"Top 10 Engineering Stories of 2023 on Tech Briefs" it states that AI is used for many things. This includes health, hiring, financial credit, and automobile decisions. So there is a big risk, if something happens to AI, a lot of things could happen to the economy. So I think that AI is a pretty big risk.

How can virtual reality help construction engineers?

2024-01-05 15:42:02 UTC

Virtual reality is a 3d digital world that can really help construction engineers. They help them by showing them the problems easily and also they work better than the normal desktop computes when it comes to construction plans because it helps work out the order of there plan. It also helps them work and plan way faster because of the "real" life digital world around them. - Aretha.K

How Much Do You About Jet Engines?

2024-01-05 15:55:11 UTC

Jet Engines affect the Climate because the way the Jet Engines are made. The average jet engine is extremely complex and typically consists of about 40,000 parts. Jet engine technology is primarily used today to power jet aircraft and enable fast, efficient air travel.According to "The Aerospace Industry" they state that Jet engines are advanced and will change in the future because in the future there will be new technology which will have them make new and advanced aircrafts. It will also change the climate from the Past to the Future. - Reggie Hayes

Every 8.5 Years, Earth's Core Mysteriously Wobbles. Scientists May Finally Know Why.

2024-01-05 15:56:11 UTC

So about every 8.5 years the Earth releases a signal. That signal is the result of a wobble in the Earth's core. To explain this scientist from a university studied polar movements in the length-of-day changes, they discover that the inner core is 0.17 degrees off the rotational axis. Even though this goes against the core-mantle relationship it could still explain this phenomenon. -Jayden

what does AI do?

2024-01-05 15:56:33 UTC

AI makes it possible for "machines to learn from experience, . Most AI examples that you hear about today is that AI could be dangerous sometimes but you don't always have to believe that cause different people think different. Also AI could enable computers, an AI system or app could be super powerful to the point where it could be dangerous and take over the world. Jason

can someone make a car from scratch

2024-01-05 15:56:39 UTC

Yes, most cars take a ton of work just to fix it up but it is possible but to be able to build a car from scratch is you need to know to weld, have an extreme amount of car knowledge and have a whole lot of tools such as jacks, lifts, and etc. Some people have the knowledge to build parts for them self such as spark plugs, transmission (such as a six speed) and not a lot of people can but some experienced people can make intanks mufflers and much much more. -Nico m.

What can Termites teach us about better building materials?

2024-01-05 15:59:26 UTC

Did you know termite mounds form, when the termites mix soil with their saliva ?

Their mixture contains sugar that is just like glue just to give it stability!! there is something exactly like their mixture it's called Cassava it's a starchy root vegetable that also contains mixtures of sugar!! They teach us on how to build better because their saliva is strong to hold things together.

Can you create a computer from scratch

2024-01-05 16:00:23 UTC

It is fairly simple to make a computer. The main important parts of making a pc are that you need the, CPU, PSU, Memory, Hard Drive, and a Graphics Card. These are the most important parts. And most of these you can make from scratch. If you so happen to make these, then you need to put them together with wires and operate the PC into a functional computer. The piece in having a lot of memory and playing a lot of games is the, Hard Drive, the thing is they is a shortage on making Hard Drive, large companies like, Dell have a shortage. A shortage on Hard Drives is something a gamer does not want. A gamer wants to have the most memory possible to play games. The bigger the memory, the better the quality.

How can your smartphone make water safe to drink?

2024-01-05 16:00:54 UTC

Yes smartphones can help make water safer to drink. Most people don't know which water is safe or unsafe. So some people made a smart device and an app to help us identify which water is harmful and has bacteria or if it's clean pure water. This device can also help kill bacteria in water. So people that don't have a clean water supply can easily disinfect their drinking water and not get sick. - Raven

Business owners and managers eager to use artificial intelligence-powered tools to cut costs need to be wary of a potential AI backlash. The OpenAI's chat gpt in November was the most fast growing software platform in history, it reached 100 million user in weeks. People use and make Different AI apps everyday. “The impact on sales jobs, service jobs is remarkable and we can say that just based on the version we have now.,”Bill gates said in a fireside chat “And yet, the amount of money going into making these things better is absolutely gigantic. It’s not just GPT-4. It’s hundreds and hundreds of companies building competitive things and building on top of it.” I think by 2050 AI is gonna take over the world. Osman N

How Is Generative AI Transforming Engineering?

2024-02-12 22:22:02 UTC

Generative AI is becoming so artificial that it creates content without humans example text, image, audio, video, and code based on the data it was trained on, it could lead where humans are no longer needed and robot take over the work. -Jazmine E
