This German Bomb found in Plymouth this week is a good reminder of the risk legacy from these objects to every day life and construction groundworks. Unexploded ordnance (UXO) poses a significant risk to both people and the environment. 🌍💥 It’s crucial to conduct a thorough desk study before any land development where hisotrical bombing occured. 🏗️📚 This includes historical research, aerial photography analysis, and risk assessments. Remember, safety first! #UXO #DeskStudy #SafetyFirst”.

Construction noise spooks trained military horses in London Recent events in London have highlighted the urgent need for innovative solutions to manage construction noise. Five trained military horses of the Household Cavalry were spooked by loud noises at a construction site during a rehearsal, leading to a chaotic situation where the horses, along with some soldiers and a cyclist, sustained injuries. See BBC article at https://lnkd.in/gPmHvmTc. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the immediate and disruptive impact of construction noise, not just on daily operations but also on the well-being of both humans and animals. At Noizend, we are dedicated to tackling this issue head-on using advanced manufacturing and materials technologies. Our development of the Noizend Shield aims to offer a portable, flexible solution to effectively reduce low-frequency noise from various industrial applications, including construction. As urban environments grow, the challenge of managing noise pollution becomes more significant. The long-term health effects of continuous noise exposure are well-documented, aligning with concerns raised by international bodies like the United Nations and the World Health Organization. We invite you to join us in our mission to enhance urban living conditions through advanced noise reduction technologies. For more information on how we can assist your projects, please get in touch with us at [email protected] #Noizend #NoisePollution #UrbanDevelopment #Innovation #Sustainability

Body armor, or simply armor, is protective clothing worn to shield the body from attacks. Armor could be worn by warriors and used to protect their mounts. Armor serves this function by deflecting or absorbing the impact of weapons or projectiles. The history of armor dates back to ancient civilizations. Evidence of armor can be found as early as 2050 BC during the Bronze Age. Around 1500 BC, ancient civilizations began wearing armor made of bronze and leather. Chainmail armor appeared around 400 BC. Later on, plate armor came into use. With the development of firearms, traditional armor gradually declined and disappeared. #Science #History #Development #Civilizations #Technology #Explore #Reels

A1, the Pebble Curtain anti-ballistic system successor For the validation of the A1 solution, we used data from the American Pebble Curtain strategic anti-ballistic system intended for the defense of MX ICBM silos, an anti-ballistic program closed at the protest of the USSR in the 80s, during the Reagan administration. The A1 warhead consists of 10 tons of projectiles that are released into the path of enemy missiles. Impacting enemy missiles with these projectiles, at hypersonic speed, destroys the missiles before they reach the defended objective. The development of the A1 product is in line with ARCA's policy of producing exclusively defensive, non-lethal weapons, with the proceeds being allocated to the development of the civilian AMi Exploration and EcoRocket programs. www.ecorocket.space #interceptor #antiballistic #missile #rocket #ARCASpace #EcoRocket #ABM
