Now, researchers hope to make automotive-grade carbon fiber using a
process similar to how knitting yarn is created. The development could
lower the price of carbon fiber by as much as 25%.
These tiny filaments are wound into strands that are subsequently
turned into a fabric. The fabric is then combined with a glue-like
chemical and hardened into the final shape of a car part, such as a
hood or trunk lid.
High-Tech Agriculture in Japan
The Japanese have taken a high tech approach to agriculture as they
have with everything else. “They are ahead in biotechnology; they grow
their rice with an amazing variety of mini-machines, including
mechanical rice transplanters and harvesters, helicopter spraying, vinyl
sheeting, concrete banked paddies and massive use of chemical
fertilizer.”
The Japanese have produced a tomato plant that bears 10,000
tomatoes with the aid of a rotating-lens system that filters out harmful
sun rays and focused beneficial rays where they are needed most. One
tomato plant at the Tsukuba Science Expo in Japan produced 16,897
individual tomatoes.
The modernization of rice paddy agriculture includes consolidating
small fields into large ones, replacing open canals with underground
drainage pipes, installing pumps to pump in water and periodic draining
of the paddies. These changes have made the paddies easier for
farmers to work.
