Most Powerful Technology Implementations

Chennai: The implementation of technology is mirrored very brightly in every aspect of life. The onset of twenty first centaury witnessed technology revolution with the invention of diesel engine, supercomputer and robots. Researches in the field of energy production and space exploration and other high end technology spheres demanded the need for massive machines with high potential, competence and computational capability. The demand had lead to some of the most powerful technological implementations in the universe. Read on to know 8 of them as compiled by List verse.

Robots

Developed by the German manufacturer KUKA robotics, 'Titan' is regarded to be the strongest industrial robot. The intelligent machine is programmed and built to lift objects as heavy as a car for over 3 meter of height and can be implemented in industries on a large scale.

X-Ray Generators

With the capability of producing power 80 times more than the electrical generation capacity of every single power plant, the Z-machine stands as the world’s most powerful X-ray generator. Z-machine holds so much power that it can trigger a gadget from 0 to 122,000 kph in less than one second. The mammoth machine is kept at Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico and is immersed in a pool of water and oil.

Supercomputers

The title of the most powerful supercomputer is held by Tianhe-2, a Chinese supercomputer. National University of Defense Technology of China is the owner of the machine which can operate at a speed of 33.86 petaflops per second. Tianhe-2 runs on a customized operating system called Kylin and can be said 33,000 times faster than a Playstation 4.

Diesel Engine

The invention of diesel engine was indeed ground breaking and the world’s most powerful engine is fitted to a cargo ship-Emma Maersk. The ship houses a massive engine measuring the height of a four storied building and is 28 meter in length. Producing power of over 100,000 brake horsepower and over 5.5 million foot-pounds of torque the engine is highly power efficient with only 50 percent energy loss as heat.

Magnet

The tedious work of 15 years finally found fruit when the most powerful magnet on earth was finished in the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. The magnet could produce 100 teslas which is equivalent to 2 million times the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field. Production of the magnet was complete in 2012 and will be of great assistance in a lot of physics experiments.

Laser

Developed to research methods of achieving fusion power, the most powerful laser is placed in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. With 192 lasers converging to a single point, it produces energy 60 times more than the previous version and is part of the National Ignition Facility. With enormous power generating capability, the laser can produce 500 trillion watts at its peak.

Loudspeaker

Isn’t it astonishing to know that the voice transmitted by the most powerful speaker in the world could be heard with great clarity and crispness even at a distance of 3 kilometer. HS-60, produced by the Wattre Corporation in the U.S. is the most powerful speaker on earth and the 182 decibel it produces at a distance of 1 meter can rupture the hearing tissues. Even though the model is not available for purchase, HS-40 a less intense variant of the same is available in the market.

Camera

The world’s most powerful camera is titled as ‘Dark Energy Camera’   and it is used by scientists who study speedy expansion of the universe. Built at Fermilab in Illinois the massive camera is 70 times more powerful than a phone camera. It is handy and can click photographs of masses 8 billion light-years away from earth. The camera constitutes of 5 lenses each of 570-megapixel costing $1.6 million each. Dark energy camera will be installed in the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile and will take pictures of 300 million galaxies thus unveiling the mysteries of universe that got scientists trapped for years.
