#Ballistic wallpaper to help protect soldiers seeking temporary shelter It sounds like an old Goon Show joke,
but soldiers may one day protect themselves from blasts by wallpapering temporary shelters. It may not be very decorative,
but the new ballistic wallpaper under development by the US ARMY Corps of Engineers uses a special fiber inlay to help prevent walls from collapsing under blast effects.
you can still spot obscure windows dating back to the Second world war showing traces of sticky tape that the owners never bothered to strip off.

and the principle is being revived to reinforce not windows, but whole walls. According to Nick Boone, a research mechanical engineer with the US ARMY Corps of Engineers'Engineer Research and development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Mississippi, soldiers will often take temporary shelter in abandoned buildings made of masonry, brick, cinderblock,

they can collapse into dangerous rubble. The new wallpaper, which was unveiled at the Pentagon on May 14 as part of Department of defense Lab Day,

#Smart low-carbon Solcer House generates more electricity that it uses A Welsh university claims to have built the UK first low-cost, low-carbon, energy-positive house.
The Solcer House was built by Cardiff University Solcer Project, part of the LCRI Program (Low Carbon Research Institute.
The house is located in Pyle near Bridgend and follows the"Buildings as Power stations"concept developed by the SPECIFIC Innovation and Knowledge Centre.
Energy-positive status is achieved by way of reduced energy demand, renewable energy supply and storing energy for later use.
Low-carbon cement was used for the construction of the Solcer House. To reduce its demand for energy
the house has high levels of thermal insulation, structural insulated panels (SIPS), external insulation and low-emissivity double-glazed aluminum-clad timber frame windows and doors.
Transpired solar collectors (TSC) are employed also. These comprise a perforated skin on the exterior of the house that draws air into the cavity
and warms it via the sun's rays. It is drawn then into the house as a low-cost means of heating via ventilation.
Electricity is generated by way of a 4. 3 kwp glazed photovoltaic solar panel array. This is fully integrated into the south-facing roof of the house
eliminating the need to have bolted it on. Energy that is not immediately required is stored in the house's 6. 9-kwh battery.
Electricity generated and stored is used to power the heating, ventilation, hot water system and household appliances. The Solcer House took 16 weeks to build
and was completed in February this year. The video below shows the construction of the Solcer House e

#Scissoring origami-inspired bridge could help out in disasters Whether they're floods, earthquakes or landslides,

and lightest expanding temporary bridge.""Developed by a team led by Dr. Ichiro Ario, the Mobile Bridge Version 4. 0 (MB4. 0) was inspired by the Japanese folded-paper art of origami.
When not in use, the MB4. 0 is contracted like an accordion and can be towed on a trailer.
Once it gets to the site of a destroyed bridge, however, it employs a scissor-like action to fold out,
An MB4. 0 prototype was demonstrated at a symposium of the Japan Society of Civil engineers on June 23rd,

#New"smart window"material selectively blocks light and/or heat In an effort to improve the energy efficiency of building,
researchers have sought to develop windows that change transparency to let more light and therefore heat through
Unfortunately, these methods tend to impede the passage of visible light, some by tinting panes and others by complete obscuration.
But a team at the Cockrell School of engineering at The University of Texas at Austin has developed a"smart window"technology that allows the passage of light

#New Invention Bears the Brunt of Earthquakes By Using Good Vibrations Older buildings may get a new lease on life thanks to a new invention that lets them shake off the effects of an earthquake.
Much of the worst quake damage and injuries in recent years result from older buildings collapsinghat because modern buildings in earthquake zones are designed with devices called dampers or isolation units,
which allow the buildings to sway on springs or slide on skids during earthquakes. It impossible to retrofit old buildings with much of that technology,
but a new form of protection may be on the way. Girls from Nepal Group Home Jump into Action Providing Earthquake Relief Researchers at the University of Brighton in the UK have come up with a ibrating barrier (Viba) that absorbs the energy from an earthquake
and protects older buildings. The device is a solid weight balanced on a series of springs.
The Viba isn attached directly to a building walls or skeleton, but buried in the ground
When the ground motion from a quake hits the building, the energy passes through the foundation to the Viba instead of into the structure itself.
