    Thermal Imaging Night Driving System

    The new, Tavor night time driving system , has been designed to provide enhanced driver vision in total darkness, rain, fog, smoke, dust, etc. This allows vehicles to move in  situations I conditions where others cannot; ensuring the required equipment and personal  can reach their objectives safely.

     

    >

    The Tavor night driving system is based on an uncooled thermal imaging kit utilising the Opgal Eye R25 engine. The R25 is a miniature high-performance microbolometric thermal imaging engine, based on a 384×288 pixels 25micron  ASi microbolometer detector providing full frame rate, 50/60Hz of video. The engine features powerful proprietary algorithms, fully well-tried and proven to be effective in poor visibility conditions. It providesa selection of outputs   (CCIR or RS170) and digital LVDS or USB2 (optional) video outputs. The EYE-R25 is tuned to long-wave infrared with sensitivity of less than 0.050°C with a F1 lens. This is packed into a ruggedized housing and integrated with hard carbon coated optics. The ruggedized LCD display, connecting cable, camera-mounting kit are all packed into a rugged carrying case . The whole system is MIL-STD-810E approved. The system has an anti-blooming mechanism to prevent dazzle and a high resolution LCD. Electronic zoom (x2 & x4) combined with a wide viewing area of 64° horizontal further enhancing the  drivers vision.  The module can easily be integrated into military vehicle designs. A commercial variation is available based on the Meron camera. This is a light weight small thermal camera again using the R25 engine. Video data can be taken from the camera and interfaced into a suitable display. 

    Simple to install and use the Tavor offers a quick solution to difficult driving conditions i for all land vehicles when speed and time is critical 

     

    Many applications that can use this Night Driving System

     

    Emergency vehicles.

    Ambulances, Fire Trucks and Police cars all need to be able to get to the problem as fast and safely as possible. Poor environmental weather conditions can hinder this objective which when thermal imaging can help in obtaining a effective and safe journey

     

    Commercial vehicles have to deliver whatever the weather, fog, rain, haze, etc. causes great strain on the drivers concentration and can lead to accidents. The use of thermal imaging can assist the driver by reducing the stress for trying to see what is ahead and improving the safety to the drive and other vehicles on the road.

     

    Ships and yachts

    Once more thermal imaging can be of great assistance in entering and leaving a harbor in poor visibility conditions. They can also help in spotting object in the water allowing evasion tactics to be taken and safe guard the vessel.

     

    Railways

    Thermal imagers deployed on train engines assist in spotting objects on or near  the line and giving the driver more time to take the appropriate actions.

    Are you interested in astronomy?

    As the case may be with what you regard to be a real science, astronomy might be the oldest science that is known – since the beginning of mankind human beings have been looking up to the sky and trying to make sense of it. In newer times great achievements have changed entire views of the world and today we know very much about the physical correlations. The fast development of new technology in the last century and the possibilities of modern personal computers have made astronomy accesible for everyone.

    There is much knowledge now about different objects and phenomena in the universe (for example Black holes).

    But not only that – it is much easier to get to know the science of astronomy for everybody. You don’t have to be a top expert scientest to have the possibility of watching the stars in close up images. There are a lot of very good software projects and relatively cheap beginners equipment that enable everyone to deepen the knowledge about our universe (e.g. Photlun lunar research. Many of tose resources are very affordable and quite a lot software products are even available for free.

    But even if you are not interested in the science behind it, there is so much beauty in some of those pictures. The structures and colors seen on those pictures fascinate almost anyone who is confronted with them for the first time. Some of the best pictures can be found here: Pictures of earth from space

    Discover the the variety of astronomy, which is both – hobby and science. Like in art you can watch pictures or it can give your brain the task to apply math with all tricks the science supplies.

    Creatures from outer space

    Don’t release your space ship straight into outer space until you see the alien pictures so that you’ll have an idea of what kind of room creatures that you simply could be sharing a home with for a while. Experts questioned the grainy, black and white photos of aliens from numerous footages and we all wouldn’t wish our kids to see them anyway.

    Images of colorful, cartoon aliens are so much more fun even if we have no proof that creatures from outer room exist. There are pencil drawings of aliens created from the memories of people who have been hypnotized to allow them to keep in mind what the aliens looked like that abducted them for a trip inside spacecraft, and the photos and paper prints we have here in our gallery look like them closely. As creature designers can certainly attest, an alien being in the Star Wars universe has to become unique to distinguish him/her from the vast sea of strangeness that abounds in locales. In the same way, memorabilia bearing the likeness of the Star Wars alien need to be pretty extraordinary or notorious, to outshine the lime-lighting heroes and villains of the saga. As the universe seems inclined to champion the neglected, the ignored, and also the underrated, the saga has generously granted a small, motley crew of aliens the “grail collectible” status that is usually reserved for the Luke Skywalkers, R2-D2s, and Darth Vaders.

    In 1898, archeologists found a little wooden object in a tomb at Saqqara, Egypt. They identified it like a “bird model” and placed it inside a box of other bird figures in the storage area of a Cairo museum. The item was forgotten for numerous years until Dr. Khalil Messiha rediscovered it and realized its value. The Egyptian Ministry of Culture commissioned a group of scientists to study the object. As a result, the item was given its own exhibit detailing its uncommon features.

    The six-inch long artifact isn’t a bird effigy, but an advanced model glider. The wings curve downward at the tips, a form called reverse dihedral by modern aircraft designers. The object has dimension, which would allow a full-scale version to stay in flight at very low speeds, down to 45 miles per hour, whilst at the exact same time carrying an enormous payload.

    Ancient Egyptian engineers always built small-scale models of their tasks, from ships to temples. Is this artifact an echo of lost technologies from prior to a worldwide cataclysm?
