DIYRockets starts a challenge to build open source, 3D-printed rocket engines
Author: Laura Clark
DIYRockets believes that our possibilities of advancing space expedition improve when everybody could provide a hand. The company is putting its cash where its mouth is by launching a competition to develop 3D-printed rocket motors making use of Sunglass’ cloud design platform. Groups who register have to build an engine that could boost a nanosatellite-level payload into reduced Earth orbit using 3D-printed steel and various other safe products. The only major specifications are that developers present a great company case and open-source their productions to assist other builders. DIYRockets’reward method reflects its for-the-greater-good aspirations: there’s a$ 5,000 award advantageous motor, but there are different$ 2,500 prizes for both a pupil creation and the design that contributes the most to the sector. Registration officially starts on March 9th, and runs until April 6th, with the finished models due on June 1st. We’ll be closer to a crowdsourced vision of space when the winners are exposed by July 1st. Filed under: Transportation, ScienceCommentsSource: DIYRockets

Author: Buck Howard
The land-speed record has actually been in British hands because 1983, but it’s never been the motherland’s routine to rest on its laurels. The other day, in a bomb-proof shelter in Cornwall, the group behind the Bloodhound SSC test-fired its rocket system for the first time, producing a staggering 14,000 pounds of drive thanks to its liquid peroxide and strong artificial rubber hybrid engine. Pumping that mix through the V8 of a Formula One auto, the team hopes to reach a leading seed of 1,050 miles per hour (Mach 1.4), well past the 763 mph attained by ThrustSSD back in 1997. After the break, we have actually got a short clip of the firing as it occurred, which, honestly, makes the Batmobile’s flaming jet engine look a little bit sub-par by contrast.

Have Money, Will Explore: Amazon’s Jeff Bezos Aims To Recover Lost Apollo 11 Engines
Author: Brandon Zimmerman
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has a knack for using his considerable net worth in interesting ways — 10,000 Year Clock anyone? — but for space buffs like me, one venture in particular takes the cake. In a new post on the Bezos Expeditions website, he announced that he and his team of savvy undersea explorers have located the Rocketdyne F-1 engines that helped propel the crew of Apollo 11 on their historic voyage to the moon in 1969.
“I’m excited to report that, using state-of-the-art deep sea sonar, the team has found the Apollo 11 engines lying 14,000 feet below the surface,” Bezos wrote. And now that the rockets have been located, Bezos is preparing to take the next logical step — bringing them back to the surface.
If he thought finding them was tough, I’d love to see how he and his team tackle the challenge of raising those from their watery grave. Each F-1 engine stood 19 feet tall and weighed over 18,000 pounds, and every Saturn V rocket came equipped with five of them. What’s more, some serious deterioration could’ve taken place during their nearly 43 year stint underwater, so who know how they’ll look should they survive the trip to the surface.
One thing puzzles me though — NASA conducted 13 launches with vehicles that used the Saturn V, which means that the sea floor plays home to more than a few F-1 rockets. Bezos seems very sure that the ones that he and his team have discovered are the ones from Apollo 11, though he doesn’t specifically mention how they can be so sure. Still, whatever the case, Bezos knows that the “finders keepers” approach doesn’t apply here — he admits that the engines are still NASA property, though he hopes that they’ll be willing to share at least one of the recovered rockets with Seattle’s Museum of Flight.
While definitely wild, this is far from the first instance of Bezos’s fixation on space — he founded the secretive Blue Origin in 2000, which eventually received NASA funding in exchange for help developing a commercial crew transport system (also referred to as a “space taxi”) for missions to the International Space Station.

German government proposes to charge search engines for excerpting news sites
Author: Matthew Baker
A German government committee is proposing changes that could force search engines operating in the country to pay for using news excerpts. The plans involve setting up a department to charge royalties from sites that aggregate news feeds, and covers them for 12-months from date of publish. This isn’t the first country to attempt to protect publishers’ material, with the Newspaper Licensing Agency in the UK also performing a similar role. Before you hide your news blog from German eyes, the ruling will only affect commercial outfits.
Germany’s publishing executives have been pushing for such a move since a case in Belgium that saw Google News forced to stop excerpting articles. Unsurprisingly there is strong support from the industry, with 149 execs from the country already having petitioned the government with a “Hamburg Declaration on Intellectual Property Rights” proposal in 2009, and both the German Federation of Newspaper Publishers and Association of German Magazine Publishers also campaigning for change. Now that the committee has laid down clear plans, it remains to be seen if or how they will be implemented, but with the nation’s track record for pulling no punches where technology is concerned, search engines might have to prepare for a rapid change in policy.

Tesla planting electric engines into two Toyota prototype bodies
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
Word on the street had it that Tesla’s $50 million deal with Toyota wasn’t formal back in late May, but evidently things have made positive progress since. According to a new (though admittedly brief) report over at CNN, Toyota is currently working with the electric automaker on a pair of prototype vehicles. As the story goes, Tesla will be delivering two prototypes to Toyota “by the end of the month,” with the vehicles using “Tesla’s electric motors and battery packs and the bodies of Toyota vehicles.” Tesla Chief Technology Officer JB Straubel has been quoted as saying that the two outfits have “made a lot of progress in a short amount of time,” and we couldn’t be more excited to see what kind of results will come from this tie-up. We can’t help but hope that those regenerative brakes do a bit more than regenerate, though. Sorry, we had to. Really.
