Tomorrow Daily - 3D-printed RC car tops speeds of 100 mph, Ep. 258

2015-10-14
greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk-show in the known universe yes talk shows usually have more than one person in it but we're waiting for our new set to be built so you're just gonna have to wait until then all right let's have our very first headline of the day is about a little RC car that can go over a hundred miles per hour check this thing out James Beswick is the designer of this amazing little RC car he has been an RC enthusiast for quite some time and 3d printing is actually taking his cars to the next level which is pretty cool his most recent car as we said goes over 100 miles per hour and Beswick attributes 3d printing to his success saying it speeds up building processes and lets him pick out the best materials to make his cars with a Bestwick is determined to keep making new 3d printed RC cars until he can break the world speed record the Guinness Book of World Records lists that as 200 and 2.0 2 miles per hour but honestly I think he can make it okay produced I can play that clip again so we can hear the sound going from the ground to outer space NASA this week released some amazing high-res images of the biggest planet in our solar system Jupiter the Hubble Space Telescope sent some spectacular images of Jupiter which NASA created two new maps from and a 4k video showing off the new information there's some really interesting changes happening on Jupiter including a new filament we've never seen before and confirmation that the great red spot we all know and love is actually shrinking and also shifting in color to a slightly more oranjee hue if you're watching today's show on a smartphone do yourself a favor and toss that big beautiful 4k video NASA made up onto the biggest highest resolution screen you have because honestly it's pretty inspiring to check out okay so the very last headline we have today is about temperature controlled Digital robotic fingers this story comes from researchers at Florida Atlantic University they're using temperature changes to curl and uncurl robotic fingers designed to look and feel like our own human digits now actuators for flexing and extending were trained to take specific shapes when respectively heated or cooled unfortunately since it takes a little bit of time for the actuators to cool down using them in current technology is not quite the best choice for things like human prosthetics so they think that underwater robotics might be the best place to start testing ultimately their goal is to in fact adapt that technology though to human prosthetics making it a really cool thing to check out and also pretty intuitive so nice work guys all right let's go from headlines to mod squat this is easily my favorite mod squad we featured on the show thus far and it's about lifting Thor's hammer Allen pan is known on YouTube as sufficiently advanced and he made this amazing modded out replica of Thor's hammer Mjolnir that only he can lift it's powered by Arduino and a large electromagnet from a microwave plus a fingerprint scanner there are more elements to it than that which you can check out in the video online but the basic concept is this the hammer is placed on a metal surface the electromagnet gets switched on and nobody can lift the dumb thing up unless you're Alan pan whose fingerprint shuts off the magnet and lets him hoist Mjolnir as he is worthy still it makes for a really fun party trick I will give you that Alan nice work all right let's check out your pictures our phone talker for the day today is Jen who took this picture with her iPhone 5s she emailed us and she wrote very briefly but very succinctly you have my permission to use photos of my very dramatic baby Claire on your show she loves tech and says it tastes great this is what takes up all the memory on my iPhone 5s well Jen yes your baby Claire is super adorable and I'm sure she loves to taste all of the different piece of technology that you buy in your house as babies do uh but yeah super dramatic picture I love the shadow and the color and the lighting it's really great and if you guys want to send in your phone tog Rafi to be featured on the show you can of course email us tomorrow at Cena comm is the email address send us your name the picture what device you took it on and tell us a little story about it oh and give us permission to use it on the show if you want to share the show with somebody which I would really appreciate you can always give them the address tomorrow daily comm you can find us all over the Internet at tomorrow daily on your favorite social media sites unless it's snapchat and you can find me in producer Logan online on twitter @ashleyesqueda Moy well that's it for today's show we'll be back tomorrow with a brand new docket of weird science tech mating science fiction but until then big in humans we'll see you guys next time you
