Brilliant Snapshots of Bubbles Frozen in Frigid Temperatures

Angela Kelly belongs to Washington and she took the real advantage of frigid temperatures by blowing bubbles and snapped spectacular pictures of her series dubbed Frozen in a Bubble. The formula is very simple just using homemade dish soap, Karo Syrup, and water and then makes light of the 9 to 12 degree temperatures with these frozen bubbles. The swirling orbs seemed to wonderfully crystallize before the photographer's eyes, leaving Kelly and her son speechless. Whereas several of the smaller bubbles froze in mid-air and would fall to the ground, shattering on impact, others managed to maintain their shape and form patches of ice crystals. She says; we blew the bubbles across the top of our frozen patio table and also upon the hood of my car and then see in awe as each individual bubble froze with their own uniqueness patterns. We noticed that they’d freeze entirely before the sun rose and that once the sun as in view they would defrost along the tops or cease freezing altogether. They’d started to deflate and implode in on themselves making them look like alien shapes or in few cases shatter entirely leaving them to look like a cracked egg. 

First Public Demonstrate of Flying Car

A street-legal airplane that converts between flying and driving modes in under a minute, the Transition brings a new level of freedom, flexibility, and fun to personal aviation. Terrafugia transition flying car has performed its first public demonstrations in front of a crowd at the 2013 EAA airventure oshkosh. Dreaming about flying cars is ecstatic idea from 20^th Century, and The Transition street-legal airplane is the novel step on the road to the practical flying car. Terrafugia’s vision is definitely future bold concept to lead the creation of a new industry and bring personal aviation into the mainstream. Company is starting with proven technology and product road-map is designed to make personal aviation progressively safer and accessible to a broader segment of the population. Company ability to communicate and access information is increasing intensely; personal transportation has not improved considerably in the past fifty years.  Traveling is today is more of a hassle, and airlines have an impressive safety record; commercial air travel is far from convenient.  

Cars are let you set your own schedule, but they are sluggish and dangerous, these days the average commuter spends nearly five hours a week stuck in traffic, and when you see global analysis, more than one million people die in car crashes each year.  This era needs the safety of commercial aviation, convenience, flexibility and freedom of open sky. Our target is to introduce a new industry that makes personal aviation safer, as simple as driving the own vehicle which is convenient to everyone. Terrafugia intends to lead the creation of a new flying car industry that will help humanity achieve this new dimension of personal freedom.

Bracken Bat Cave The Largest Aggregation of Mammals On Earth

The Bracken Bat Cave situated in southern Comal County, Texas, outside the city of San Antonio, in the summer home to the largest colony of bats in the world. Every year in summer, approximately twenty million Mexican Free-tailed bats move around from Mexico to Texas to give birth and raise their pups. Whereas these bats take migrate all across the state, the largest congregation takes place at Bracken Cave. From March to October, every night, these miniature creatures fly out of the 100-foot-wide crescent-shaped opening to feed. The mass departure of bats is sluggish at first as they linger at the cave’s lip, circling round and round inside before emerging. But after 4 hours, countless millions of bats stream out of the cave in elegant swirls as they rise into the wide sky and dissipate in the distance. They spread out over a 60-mile radius from the cave at heights of up to 10,000 feet and over the next eight to twelve hours nosh on hundreds of tons of insects, like as moths and agricultural pests.  They’ve dense emergence that it shows up on Doppler radar, as per TexasCoopPower.com. Those who have seen the bats’ nightly emergence have described the sound they generate as that of steadily falling rainstorm.

Bat lovers and tourists, and host of other creatures expectantly wait for their exit. Great Horned Owl and Harris’s Hawks scope out potential dinners from nearby trees, while skunks, raccoons, opossums and rattlesnakes lurk on the ground to strike low-flying bats from the air. The Bracken bat colony eats plenty of insects every night and plays a vital role in pest control, helping farmers control moths, beetles and insects that destroy corn, cotton and other crops. The Bracken site has had an important role in Texas and US history. The cave was mined in the midst of 18the century (1860s) for guano (bat droppings) to manufacture black gunpowder, during the Civil War. The guano was afterward used as a rich fertilizer for croplands across the USA. The bat cave sits upon private land owned by Bat Conservation International that owns 697 acres of undeveloped land around it. Moreover; access to the cave is restricted to keep the habitat of the resident bats, but evening guided tours to the cave are offered to look at the bats emerge from the cave.
