Nikola Tesla revealed that an earthquake which drew police and ambulances to the region of his laboratory at 48 E. Houston St., New York, in 1898, was the result of a little machine he was experimenting with at the time which “you could put in your overcoat pocket”: “I was experimenting with vibrations. I had one of my machines going and I wanted to see if I could get it in tune with the.
During a Tuesday evening event at the Tesla factory in Fremont, California, the electric car company unwrapped its long-awaited, shiny Model X. Tesla broke the mold with X, a luxury sports utility vehicle and the company's third and most futuristic model to date.
The automaker claims that the Tesla Model X is the fastest and most energy-efficient vehicle of its kind. It comes with a 90 kilowatt-hour battery, meaning the X can travel 250 miles between charges and accelerate at a breakneck speed of zero to 60 miles in 3.2 seconds. The car's even got rear passenger 'falcon' doors that open DeLorean style. But that's not all.
- 5: I followed the link to the video. I'm having a problem with my PC sound at present, so I turned on subtitles. The subtitles have obviously been generated by a voice recognition algorithm, and were wrong enough that I couldn't quite follow what was going on, but I think this is a video about problems with voice recognition in an elevator that can't understand 'eleven' in a Scottish accent.

- So I am pretty bewildered, concerned and a little bit upset about what happened to my S a couple of days ago. First, I got a 12 V battery warning and so took it in for service at the Buena Park facility in So Cal.
In a 'one more thing' reveal à la Apple chief Tim Cook, Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled a mind-blowing addition to the Model X: Biodefense mode.
The car has an air filtration system so advanced that it could protect passengers from biological weapons, the company says. As usual, the system circulates internal air with outside air when set to normal, while recirculate mode recycles and filters internal air. Switching the filtration system to 'bioweapon defense' mode creates positive pressure inside the car to produce a highly sterile internal flow of oxygen.
'This is a real button,' Musk told his audience, that elevates air quality to 'the levels of a hospital room,' according to the Verge. The'medical grade' high-efficiency particulate air filter eliminates pollen, viruses and pollution from air entering the Model X cabin, according to Tesla. 'We're trying to be a leader in apocalyptic defense scenarios,' he added.
'We're trying to be a leader in apocalyptic defense scenarios.'
The tools to build biological weapons are more available than ever before, according to U.S. News and World Report.As technology continues to advance weaponry, a biodefense feature could certainly sell cars.
After news of Tesla's new feature surfaced, fans took to Twitter to react to the function. Many called into question the necessity of such an extreme addition.
Others praised Tesla's innovation:
It's possible that Musk agrees with skeptic Tesla fans. His one regret about the Model X is going overboard with new features, according to the Wall Street Journal. 'If we had known the true engineering costs and complexity, we would have done fewer things,' he told the paper.

The long term effects of Nuclear disasters can often spread over thousands of years. It is estimated that Chernobyl wont be inhabited for at least another 20,000 years.
Despite the threat of Nuclear disasters, believe it or not, Nuclear Power Plants are prominent and provide approximately 5.7% of the world’s energy and 13% of the world’s electricity.
With 437 Nuclear Power Plants worldwide, there are bound to be incidents every now and again. Small incidents occur and can be rectified, but when there are large incidents, the impact can often be catastrophic.

Each Nuclear disaster has been given a level on the International Nuclear Event Scale (INES).

Process Industry Forum have scrawled the web and created a Top 10 for the worst Nuclear disasters of all time:
10. Tokaimura, Japan 1999 - Level 4
When a group of unqualified workers decided to put more highly enriched uranium in a precipitation tank than was permitted, disaster struck. Two of the workers eventually died with another fifty six plant workers also being exposed to high levels of radiation. To make matters worse, 21 civilians were also exposed to high doses of radiation and residents within a thousand feet of the plant were evacuated.
9. Buenos Aires, Argentina 1983 – Level 4
An operator’s errors during a fuel plate reconfiguration lead to him dying two days later. There was an excursion of 3x10 fissions at the RA-2 facility with the operator absorbing 2000 rad of gamma and 1700 rad of neutron radiation. Another 17 people outside of the reactor room absorbed doses ranging from 35 rad to less than 1 rad.

8. Saint- Laurent, France 1969 – Level 4
On the 17th October, 1969 50 kg of uranium in one of the gas cooled reactors began to melt. This was classified as Level 4 on the INES and to this day remains the most serious civil Nuclear disaster in French history.

7. SL-1 Experimental Power Station, Idaho USA 1961 – Level 4
On 3rd January, 1961 a USA army experimental nuclear power reactor underwent a steam explosion and meltdown killing its three operators. The cause of this was because of improper removal of the control rod, responsible for absorbing neutrons in the reactor core. This event is the only known fatal reactor accident in the USA. The accident released about 80 curies of iodine -131.
6. Goiania Accident, Brazil 1987 – Level 5
On 13th September, 1987 a radioactive contamination accident occurred in the Brazilian state of Goais. An old radiotherapy source was stolen from an abandoned hospital site in the city. Subsequently it was handled by many people, killing four people. 112,000 people were examined for radioactive contamination's with 249 having significant levels of radioactive material in or on their body.
5. Three Mile Island Accident, Pennsylvania USA 1979 – Level 5
28th March saw two nuclear reactors meltdown. It was subsequently the worst disaster in commercial nuclear power plant history. Small amounts of radioactive gases and radioactive iodine were released into the environment. Luckily, epidemiology studies have not linked a single cancer with the accident.
4. Windscale Fire (Sellafield), UK 1957 – Level 5
The worst nuclear disaster in Great Britain’s history occurred on the 10th October, 1957 and ranked at level 5 on the INES scale, The Windscale Fire. The two piles had been hurriedly built as part of the British atomic bomb project. The first pile was active from October 1950 with the second close behind in June 1951. The accident occurred when the core of Unit 1’s reactor caught fire, releasing substantial amounts of radioactive contamination into the surrounding area. 240 cancer cases have since been linked to the fire. All of the milk from within about 500km of nearby countryside was diluted and destroyed for about a month.
3. Kyshtym, Russia 1957 – Level 6
The Kyshtym Nuclear disaster was a radiation contamination incident that occurred on 29 September 1957 at Mayak, a Nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in the Soviet Union. It measured as a Level 6 disaster on the INES, making it the third most serious Nuclear disaster ever recorded behind the Chernobyl Disaster and Fukushima Daiichi Disaster. The event occurred in the town of Ozyorsk, a closed city built around the Mayak plant. Since Ozyorsk/Mayak was not marked on maps, the disaster was named after Kyshtym, the nearest known town.
2. Fukushima, Japan 2011 - Level 7
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster was a series of equipment failures, nuclear meltdowns and releases of radioactive materials at the Fukushima, Nuclear Power Plant, following the Tohoku Tsunami on 11 March, 2011. It is the largest nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl disaster of 1986 and only the second disaster (along with Chernobyl) to measure Level 7 on the INES.
1. Chernobyl, Ukraine 1986 - Level 7
The Chernobyl Nuclear disaster is widely considered to have been the worst power plant accident in history, and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale (the other being the Fukushima, Daiichi disaster in 2011). The battle to contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe ultimately involved over 500,000 workers and cost an estimated 18 billion rubles. The official Soviet casualty count of 31 deaths has been disputed and long-term effects such as cancers and deformities are still being accounted for.
