#Microsoft is building a drone army to catch mosquitoes and stop epidemics One potential use for drones that you might not have thought about is preventing the spread of disease.
Microsoft has launched just an initiative called Project Premonition, with the aim of detecting viruses before they infect a significant number of people using a fleet of Unmanned aerial vehicles (or UAVS).
the impact of drone technology and number of saved lives could be huge. The key is in catching mosquitoes
by sending out portable drones that are able to cover far more distance and come back to base with bigger samples.
the drones will need to operate semi-autonomously as well as being directed by a human pilot: having the ability to navigate environments on their own ensures they can travel greater distances and cover more land.

Today transformers are installed in stiff steel tanks. The risk of explosions can be reduced if the industry changes to soft housings that absorb energy in the same way as modern car bodies he says.
and extremely rapid pressure build up in the transformer tank. If the tank ruptures combustible gases will leak out.
If these are ignited an explosion will follow and any combustible materials in the vicinity of the transformer can catch fire.
The fire may also be fed with oil from the tank. If so it will keep burning Two different measures are adopted usually to prevent fire and explosion incidents of this sort:#
#Additionally transformer tanks are reinforced by means of welded steel beams in order to make them withstand pressure rises
On one hand the transformer tanks are able to withstand more pressure than they could have done without the reinforcement on the other the extra stiffness means that they cannot expand
Moreover stresses occur within the material of the tank increasing the probability that it will rupture.
Our idea is to design transformer tanks in such a way that they expand when their internal pressure increases without risking that major rises in tension
With better knowledge and new mathematical models we will be able to observe the relationships between the physics of electric arcs the transformer tank and the electrical protection system.
