Airport has over 46,000 solar panels tapping the power of the bright sunlight and converting it into energy and in August 2015 the airport became totally self-sufficient after installing a 12-megawatt solar plant. VJ Kurian, the airport’s managing director, said; it was the huge power bills that force them to install solar panels at the first place. Now in sunny days solar panels produce more energy than the airports need, the terminal only uses the state power at night-time or in rainy days.

And companies around the country want to know more about ” Cochin Model ” to use in their factories or airports, even a team from Liberia is also interested with the Cochin Model. Solar panels took six months to complete and cost about $9.5m, and Mr. Kurian thinks, solar energy panels will repay its money in less than six years.

Li-Fi 1GB per second, A Dream Come True

Li-fi 1GB per second, This speed is almost 100 times faster than current Wi-Fi technologies, an HD movie could be downloaded in seconds, this is an excellent news for streaming companies, they will be able to stream high definition videos like 4K. This tech also wanted to use in Planes for better connectivity.

purelife fast internet techLi-Fi uses light to send information, through the air. The world already uses light to transfer data with fiber optic cables, during the transfer there is no data loss with fiber cables, Li-Fi will be using light but through the air, moving data through the air is more challenging because there is no guide the signal to show where it needs to go.
Currently Li-Fi Inventor Pro. Harald Haas told: the company is working on some pilot projects within different industries to utilize the VLC ( visible light communication ) technology. The designed a lighting solution where all data transfer was done through the light. They also work with some private companies to setting up a Li-Fi network to access the internet in their office space.

Why Apple Keeps Making 16gb Phones

We are all wondering why Apple keeps making 16GB phones right. After the operating system, there is only 14 GB left for your use and in our the high-quality media world we all know that is not enough, even one high-quality photo takes more than 3 MB space, every update that Apple releases take a lot of spaces so why they are still producing 16gb models?

Well we have same theories for this;
First of all Apple want to you to use iCloud space, they want monthly subscriptions, cash that comes from hundreds of thousands of people. The second 16gb is affordable for many people, particularly in the third world countries. And the third one that one is weird, the third one is because people who like to test iPhone on stupid stuff like,
Why Apple keeps making 16gb phones.
  • Putting in Water to testing its waterproof ( logical ).
  • Drop test ( logical ).
  • Shooting the phone with a gun.
  • Shooting the phone with arrows.
  • Throw it in the volcano.
  • Riding a motorcycle on it.
  • Boiling it.

Why Apple keeps making 16gb phones.

So why are they doing this stuff?
The technology news websites want to test the phone for their users, and the right thing they are doing for the people who considering to buy the phone or Tearing it down to see the infrastructure like ifixit.com do, we think ifixit.com one of the most useful sites ever made.
Another reason some companies or some people want to get attention on YouTube or try to do gorilla marketing. For getting the attention of the people to a product with a cheaper cost, that is mostly an application, like this one, they throw the phone to a hot lava for testing – they say – but the main reason is marketing their app.
