Chill Bangladesh Thread

"When you are passionate about something, make sure you put an you 100% effort to pursue that passion. Because if you do so, victory shall be yours." With a life moto as aspiring as his, here's the story of Avik Anwar, the first Bangladeshi to win an International Motor Sport Race.


Growing up we knew that a Yellow Brick Road is likely to lead into a magical world, much like in The Wizard Of Oz. Farin Daulah, founder of Yellow Brick Road, aims to establish a similar world via her organization Yellow Brick Road, that is set out to educate the young generation on the importance of Consent, Communication Skills, Leadership and much more. Here’s to a world that would develop around education, which lies beyond typical subjects.

 
Has this woman just invented the rocket that will take us to Mars?

Dr Fatima Ebrahimi has invented a new fusion rocket thruster concept which could power humans to Mars and beyond.

The physicist who works for the US Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) designed the rocket which will use magnetic fields to shoot plasma particles - electrically charged gas - into the vacuum of space.

According to Newton's second and third laws of motion, the conservation of momentum would mean the rocket was propelled forwards - and at speeds 10 times faster than comparable devices.

Mars is also known as the red planet

While current space-proven plasma propulsion engines use electric fields to propel the particles, the new rocket design would accelerate them using magnetic reconnection.

This process is found throughout the universe but is most observable to humanity on the surface of the sun. When magnetic field lines converge there, before separating and then reconnect again, they product an enormous amount of energy.

Similar energy is produced inside torus-shaped machines known as tokamaks, a magnetic confinement device which is also a leading candidate for a practical nuclear fusion reactor.

"I've been cooking this concept for a while," said PPPL's principal research physicist Dr Fatima Ebrahimi, whose paper detailing the invention has been published in the Journal of Plasma Physics.

"I had the idea in 2017 while sitting on a deck and thinking about the similarities between a car's exhaust and the high-velocity exhaust particles created by PPPL's National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX)," she said.

The NSTX is the forerunner of the laboratory's present flagship fusion facility, which is being investigated with funding by the US Department of Energy.

"During its operation, this tokamak produces magnetic bubbles called plasmoids that move at around 20 kilometres per second, which seemed to me a lot like thrust," Dr Ebrahimi added.

Nuclear fusion is the power that drives the sun and stars. It combines light elements in the form of plasma - the hot, charged state of matter composed of free electrons and atomic nuclei that represents 99% of the visible universe - to generate massive amounts of energy.

If a reactor functioning on the same principles could be recreated on Earth, it would provide a "virtually inexhaustible supply of power to generate electricity" according to the PPPl.

Handout from the NOAA/National Weather Service's Space Weather Prediction Center shows a solar flare erupting from the sun late January 23 2012. The flare is reportedly the largest since 2005 and is expected to affect GPS systems and other communications when it reaches the Earth's magnetic field in the morning of January 24.

Dr Ebrahimi's new concept performs much better than existing plasma thrusters in computer simulations - generating exhaust with velocities of hundreds of kilometres per second, 10 times faster than those of other thrusters.

That faster velocity at the beginning of a spacecraft's journey could bring the outer planets within reach of astronauts, the physicist said.

"Long-distance travel takes months or years because the specific impulse of chemical rocket engines is very low, so the craft takes a while to get up to speed," she said.

"But if we make thrusters based on magnetic reconnection, then we could conceivably complete long-distance missions in a shorter period of time."

She stressed that her thruster concept stems directly from her research into fusion energy. "This work was inspired by past fusion work and this is the first time that plasmoids and reconnection have been proposed for space propulsion," Dr Ebrahimi said. "The next step is building a prototype!"



Most likely she has a muslim upbringing, heritage or is muslim. I am sure of her origin.

Most likely she has a muslim upbringing, heritage or is muslim. I am sure of her origin.

She is Muslim by seeing her name, Fatima, which is the name of prophet Muhammad beloved daughter. Her last name is Ibrahim which is Islamic name of Abraham (used by Christian)

Just realised there is a world science technology thread so posting it there.

I heard of this since I myself love space and honestly this is really freaking cool , I'm not sure if she's Bengali or Bangladeshis but if she makes this fusion engine honestly it will be a gamer changer.


However humans living on Mars in the masses will be 100s of years into the future

A silent revolution is going on in our aquaculture sector for the past few years. There is a reason why we are the 4th ranked fish producer in the world right now despite the limited availability of land, water, and other associated resources. The following documentary was well made by Oregon State University shows a brief story regarding the current aqua-culture practice going on in Bangladesh. After watching such a video, I can feel the future, I can smell the victory in the fish production sectors that we were cherished for a long time.
On a different note, it was fun watching the BAU campus again. Bring back so many memories with my friends. Other than the BUET campus, I have spent a significant amount of my young life here. Such a nice campus!

Masha'Allah Very nice!

This is an important source of protein for local people, and having fourth place globally is no small feat.

Oregon specializes in both deep sea fishing and aquaculture (of growing Salmon especially).

But yes in commercial aquaculture (cultured fish production) they are a leading force in the US.

In the US South, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi also specialize in commercial aquaculture but for freshwater Catfish ("African Magur" in Bengali) production which you can find in restaurant menus (poached boneless catfish filet).

Some catfish grow quite large. In the Missouri river and also in Western US freshwater lakes, sometimes they stock fish and hook local Giant Blue Catfish just for fun, just for bragging rights. They don't eat them, catch and release.

Why the important people including the Prime Minister have not been vaccinated yet? Has Beximco's agreement with the Indian company been completed through using a legal process? Do we have any other option at the moment except to be vaccinated against Astra-Zeneca? Is the vaccination program being opposed for political purposes? 'Khaled Muhiuddin wants to know' is the topic of discussion in this talk show: Vaccine, India, Beximco and politics! Featuring Salman F Rahman, Chairman of Beximco Limited and Farhad Mazhar, Poet, Pharmacist and Entrepreneur are from Dhaka as guests at the event. See and share your views.

Look at Darbesh defend himself against the allegation of Beximco being involved illegally (He remains a Beximco Chairman while being the PM's private investments advisor) in purchasing Covid vaccine from Serum institute in India.

Not only was Serum Institute paid for distributorship - they sought money for expanding their facilities, which Bangladesh paid in the millions for. That money could have been used for local research and production using ToT from Astra-Zeneca and Oxford. When pushed, Darbesh flew into a rage and off the handle. :lol:

Chaur caught in his own scheme and flailing around like a Katla Macch. :lol:

And WTH is "Obishkar"? He should take an intro course in vocabulary.

Meanwhile Sanghis are still claiming, they 'donated' vaccine to Bangladesh when we know we paid Serum institute 3 crores for the 2 million doses of vaccine. Trying to milk every opportunity to show how 'friendly' they are to Bangladesh. Idiots.

Well we all know who Darbesh (Salman F. Rahman) is. Here is a brief description of who Farhad Mazhar is. He is considered one of the top pharmacists in Bangladesh and a classical Marxist as well (I don't consider that dirty, lots of intellectuals are).


All in Bengali - sorry.
