Technology and carnival

Carnival is arriving! There are many costumes, like princess, sailor, cowboy... But all years so many people wear the same, and it's boring so If you want to be the most original and funny person see this costumes. (Most of them have a relationship with technology so for this reason I put them in my blog)

Hope you enjoy them xx.

Do you know there are immortal worms?

Researchers at the University of Nottingham have demonstrated how planarian worms have an apparent limitless ability to regenerate by replacing aged or damaged tissues and cells. In normal cases, when stem cells divide they begin to show sings of ageing and are no longer able to divide effectively.

As a result, they become less capable of replacing specialised cells in the tissues of our bodies, which is why human skin visibly ages. The stem cells of planarian worms, however, are able to avoid this ageing process and keep their cells dividing.

Here you`ve got a video to understand it better

Uses of friction wheels

Friction wheel are often used in stations and brake runs (usually block-sectioned). 

On some roller coasters, this same method is used on launches, or on lift-hill. This mechanism is so flexible that unlike lift chain it can work for spiral lift hills. Friction Wheels are tires that are connected to the track of  a roller coaster to control the speed of the train
