To this end, Aerovironment is working on a system of miniature gyroscopes and air-flow detectors to measure Black Widow's speed and rate of turn.

They are curbing run-away energy with a combination of micro-level controls (for individual servers, power distribution units, air-flow controllers, and cooling units) as well as macro-level controls and policies (for racks of servers, rows of racks, and entire data centers).

Doshi has recruited engineers from Miami and Atlanta for his venture, but he got some key technology nearby: To perfect the design of a filter, he got computational engineers at the SimCenter at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga to model thousands of air- and liquid-flow variables.

Experts said protrusions on the otherwise smooth belly of the shuttle could disturb the air flow during re-entry, causing turbulence that raises temperatures on heatshield tiles downstream.

There is no air-conditioning, but the traditional construction ensures a reliable flow of cool air.

The design by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in America and the University of Cambridge in Britain, made in collaboration with companies including Boeing and Rolls-Royce, eliminates this disruption by smoothing the air flow.

At Mach 4 or 5, the air flow would become dangerously hot but this heat exchanger - consisting of a dense and closely-guarded bundle of tiny tubes - would chill things down to a manageable temperature in milliseconds.

As you'll see if you check out the video after the break, it's built by Compal and includes a 13-inch 1080p display with a quad-core Temash chip, which when combined with its Turbo Dock delivers some serious power -- going from 8 W to 15 W, with extra air flow delivered through the connector to keep it cool.
