Merging Different Technologies Together

The Ben Heck Show was created by a guy that uses soldiering, hammers, saws and 3-D printers to create technologies that are normally separate --changing them into various new technologies.  For example, he has merged a PlayStation 3, a wii, and an XBox 360.  This is just one of the many technologies that he has merged.  He uses technologies that many people don't think of, like soldiering equipment, hammers, saws, and anything you might find in the garage.  He also uses 3D printers.

This is a picture of Ben Heck.  You can see his shows replayed on You Tube.  The devices you can see his show on are iPads, iPhones or your computer, just go to You Tube.  He is the best inventor I've seen yet on You Tube.  In my opinion he's up there with Nick LaTesla.  He is very funny and sarcastic, educational and very informative.  He is very polite on his show too.  If you check it out you will be more informed and have fun while being educated.

This is a picture of a brief case which is also a 3D printer that he made.  He also makes 3D printers by using electronic components.  In this segment he combined a brief case and 3D printer.  He also can turn a regular computer into 3D printers in ways no one ever thought of.  He cuts with a saw, then he soldiers the pieces together, then he re-wires the parts together using electronic engineering.  In a way, he's combining electrical engineering with mechanical engineering and civil engineering.  So technically he is creating a new form of engineering.

Ben Heck also creates new machines for people so they can use them, but he also teaches you how to do it yourself.  This is an example of an already finished product.  It looks like a combination of an XBox and a computer.  You can check it out on You Tube or Element 14, which is an engineering and design website & community.

This is the intro to the Ben Heck Show.  I like the graphics, animation and music to the Ben Heck Show.  I also like the entertainment and educational aspects of the show too.  I also find it funny.  It's also up there with Bill Nye the Science Guy.  It would be really neat to see Bill Nye and Ben Heck get together to work together!

You should watch this show if you want to stay informed and entertained.  Engineering is nothing more than the art of applied sciences.  That's what this picture represents in terms of engineering.  So if you're an engineer or getting interested in building, watch the Ben Heck Show!

Navy Engineers Build A New Breed of Patriotic Ships

This ship is aerodynamic, it can go extremely fast too.  The top speed is 60 knots and they can turn really quickly.

These ships are designed to have helicopters land and take off from the back deck.  

The ships are intended to hunt and pursue pirates, especially off the coast of Africa.

It's a triple hull design and operates really fast like a jet boat.  It doesn't have a big wake like typical boats.

It can also carry and hold small vehicles which might have weapons on them.

The Navy plans to build 55 of these special ships.  Each ship will cost $208 million, which isn't very expensive.

They could actually build more.  They could be used to keep America safe if they used them for protecting America's coastlines and America's shipping lanes.  Our shipping lanes are the patterns that cargo ships travel between different countries.  This could be used to keep our shipping lanes safe from pirates and terrorists and other threats.

These ships can also be used to protect America and it's Allies.  

These ships are built out of the water, called dry dock and then later put in the water and tested.  In this picture you can see the 3 hulls…one on each side and the middle hull.

In this photo you can see the back deck where the helicopters can take off and land.  The pointed bow helps to make the ship cut through the water faster and it's aerodynamic.  It looks extremely impressive!

It also has it's own weapon systems.  This ship is going to be extremely useful.  If given a chance, I would certainly go on one, even if it meant I had to get there by helicopter!  These ships are good for American patriotism.

And this is what it looks like when it's in port.  You can see how long it is by looking at this picture.
