Mobil Listrik `EC ITS`

                 

http://www.metrotvnews.com/ Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan, Prof Ir Mohammad Nuh DEA, menamai mobil listrik berkonsep city car rancangan mahasiswa Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Surabaya, `EC ITS`.

"Kata EC dibaca easy yang artinya mudah. EC juga singkatan Electric Car," ujar M. Nuh dalam peluncuran mobil listrik tersebut di Gedung Rektorat ITS Surabaya, Sabtu (26/1).

Mendikbud berharap, pemberian nama EC ITS mampu menjadi motivator bagi yang lain untuk membuktikan hasil karyanya. Mantan Rektor ITS Surabaya tersebut juga memuji, bahwa mobil berwarna putih metalik itu bagus secara fundamental dan desain.

"Indonesia akan menjadi tuan rumah beberapa kegiatan internasional, salah satunya APEC yang diselenggarakan di Bali. Tidak ada salahnya mobil ini dipamerkan dan menjadi karya luar biasa bagi tamu negara. Sehingga bendera ITS bisa berkibar semakin besar," kata M Nuh.

Rektor ITS Surabaya, Prof Ir Triyogi Yuwono DEA, mengaku bangga dengan prestasi yang diraih mahasiswanya dalam membuat mobil listrik. Ia mendukung program mobil listrik nasional (molina) seperti yang digaungkan pemerintah pusat.

"Kami mendukung mobil listrik nasional. Kami memiliki kemampuan ikut membantu menyukseskannya. Kami juga ingin membuktikan bahwa insinyur-insinyur muda diberi kesempatan untuk menunjukkan kualitasnya," kata Prof Triyogi.

Sementara itu, Dosen Pembimbing Teknik Mesin ITS Dr M Nur Yuniarto mengatakan, mobil listrik ini memang untuk skala riset sejak 2011. Namun bila pemerintah berniat mengembangkan untuk skala industri, pihaknya siap membantu riset lanjutan.

"Yang jelas, mayoritas komponen mobil city car listrik itu buatan mahasiswa kami. Kecuali motor penggerak atau baterai yang masih beli dari luar negeri. Namun kalau nantinya dijadikan skala industri, tentu kami akan merancang baterai dalam negeri," tuturnya.

Nur Yuniarto juga menjelaskan, mahasiswa ITS sudah mampu merancang sistem kontrol mesin iquteche yang selama ini digunakan mobil berbahan bakar bensin. Namun sistem itu juga dapat diaplikasikan untuk mobil listrik. Nur mengaku butuh waktu tiga bulan untuk menyelesaikan mobil tersebut.

"Kalau baterai juga dapat dibuat di dalam negeri, maka seratus persen komponen mobil city car listrik itu buatan dalam negeri. Sehingga harganya akan bisa lebih murah dari biaya riset yang kami perlukan selama ini, yakni Rp400 juta hingga Rp500 juta," ujarnya. (Ant/Wtr4)

6 Makanan sehat yang ternyata tidak sehat

Anda mungkin pernah makan makanan ini dan berpikir itu sehat untuk dikonsumsi secara rutin. Faktanya, tujuh makanan yang Anda anggap sehat ini tidak baik untuk kesehatan. Lauren Antonucci dan Lisa Moskovitz Gizi, ahli gizi asal New York City, akan memaparkan fakta di balik label sehat pada beberapa makanan berikut ini, seperti dilansir Livestrong.

1. Camilan berprotein

Jenis camilan semacam ini tampaknya sehat, namun ternyata mereka bisa mengandung dua kali jumlah lemak dan karbohidrat dari camilan biasa lho.

2. Buah kering

Sesuatu yang segar pasti lebih baik daripada yang diawetkan. Begitu pula dengan buah kering. Anda dapat menambah banyak kalori ketika makan buah kering.

3. Yogurt

Yogurt dalam bentuk apapun merupakan sumber kalsium dan vitamin D. Tetapi hati-hati, beberapa merek yogurt mengandung banyak lemak dan gula. Jadi, pastikan Anda memilih yogurt dengan kualitas baik.

4. Salad dressing

Bagi Anda yang gemar makan salad, hindari penggunaan salad dressing meski itu telah dilabeli sehat sekalipun. Makanan apa pun yang dimasukkan ke dalam kemasan mengandung natrium yang tinggi. Anda bisa membuat salad dressing sendiri dari campuran cuka, perasan lemon, dan bumbu-bumbu seperti lada, kunyit dan biji sawi.

5. Sushi

Gulungan sushi mungkin terlihat kecil, tetapi itu bisa saja menipu Anda. Satu gulungan sushi umumnya mengandung lebih dari 500 kalori. Untuk itu, hindari jenis sushi modifikasi yang menambahkan krim keju, keju parut, atau saus mayo pedas.

6. Margarin

Margarin mengandung lebih banyak lemak trans yang dapat menurunkan kolesterol baik dalam tubuh. Bagi Anda yang sedang menjalankan diet, hindari konsumsi margarin dalam menu harian Anda.

Inilah enam makanan yang sering dianggap sehat oleh banyak orang, padahal sebaliknya.

North Korea Vows Nuclear Test 'Aimed' at US

this news from . click here

In this Dec. 12, 2012 file image made from video, North Korea's Unha-3 rocket lifts off from the Sohae launching station in Tongchang-ri, North Korea. SEOUL — North Korea is amplifying its rhetoric about carrying out more rocket launches and a third nuclear test.

North Korea's National Defense Commission says the reclusive state will conduct an “all-out confrontation battle” that will include further satellite and long-range launches, as well as what it calls a nuclear test of a “higher level.” It says these actions will be aimed at its sworn enemy, the United States.

Some experts speculate the reference to an enhanced nuclear test likely will be an attempt to detonate a uranium bomb, compared to the plutonium devices North Korea tested in 2006 and 2009.

The statement, carried by the state's official news agency and broadcast on radio Thursday, totally rejects Tuesday's U.N. Security Council condemnation of North Korea, calling it an illegal resolution concocted by the United States.

An announcer, reading the defense commission statement, says “settling accounts with the United States needs to be done with force, not with words as the U.S. regards jungle law as the rule for survival.”

The Security Council imposed additional sanctions on Pyongyang for its December 12 long-range rocket launch.

The resolution came after weeks of behind-the-scenes negotiations on wording between the United States and China, which is North Korea's sole remaining significant ally.

South Korea Foreign Ministry spokesman Cho Tai-young says the latest statement from Pyongyang is deeply regrettable.

Cho says North Korea is urged to “pay heed to the international community's constant warnings and not commit any further provocative acts, including nuclear tests.”

Glyn Davies, the U.S. special envoy for North Korea issues who is in Seoul for meetings with South Korean officials before heading to Beijing and Tokyo, was asked to comment on reports citing intelligence that a nuclear test could be imminent.

“It's not for me to predict whether they will test or not. We hope they don't. We call on them not to do it. It would be highly provocative. It would set back the cause of trying to find a solution to these long-standing problems that have prevented the peninsula from becoming reunited. I think it's very important that they don't test," said Davies.

Analysts such as Daniel Pinkston of the International Crisis Group expect Pyongyang will ignore such appeals.

“Many people say they will not test because there will be costs. And certainly there are costs. Pyongyang realizes that. But from their orientation it's imperative to have strength and to have powerful military capabilities. I think that factor will probably override any consideration about costs or sanctions. And so I would not be surprised to see a nuclear test," he said.

North Korea contends its December 12 launch was a peaceful mission that placed an earth observation satellite into orbit.

The launch was widely condemned in the international community as a violation of previous U.N. sanctions prohibiting North Korea from utilizing ballistic missile technology.

Ini 4 Penyebab Banjir Jakarta

LUCKY PRANSISKA Petugas Dinas Pemadam Kebakaran DKI mengangkut karyawan yang terjebak banjir di Bundaran Hotel Indonesia, Jakarta, menggunakan mobil pemadam kebakaran, Kamis (17/1/2013). Curah hujan tinggi mengakibatkan dinding sungai Banjir Kanal Barat jebol sehingga air membanjiri ruas Jalan Latuharhari, Dukuh Atas hingga Bundaran Hotel Indonesia. KOMPAS/LUCKY PRANSISKA 


Curah hujan yang tinggi dalam beberapa hari terakhir membuat volume air bertambah. Sungai dan waduk meluap. Tanggul pun jebol karena tak mampu menahan banyaknya air. Namun, banjir seharusnya tak terjadi hanya karena intensitas hujan yang tinggi itu. Mengapa banjir terus terjadi dan makin meluas di Ibu Kota?
Pengamat tata kota, Nirwono Joga, mengatakan, sejumlah faktor turut menyebabkan banjir Jakarta 2013. Secara umum, telah terjadi perubahan besar pada tata ruang di Jakarta dan kota sekitarnya, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, dan Bekasi.
Faktor pertama, berubahnya ruang terbuka hijau di Jakarta menjadi kawasan pembangunan, seperti permukiman, gedung, dan jalan. Resapan air hujan menjadi berkurang dan akhirnya air mengalir ke jalanan.
"Sebagian besar banjir yang terjadi di Jakarta ini terjadi di daerah-daerah tanggapan air, resapan air, yang dulu sejak zaman Belanda memang diperuntukkan untuk ruang hijau," ujarnya di Jakarta, Selasa (22/1/2013).
Joga mengatakan, pemerintah harus tegas membatasi pembangunan komersial di Jakarta. Pendirian bangunan pun harus dicek kembali apakah telah menyediakan sebanyak 30 persen sumber resapan sesuai ketentuan undang-undang.
Kedua, sistem drainase yang buruk di Jakarta. Menurut Joga, seharusnya saluran air berujung ke sungai atau laut, melainkan ke daerah resapan atau ke dalam tanah. Pemerintah harus melakukan revitalisasi terhadap sistem drainase di seluruh Jakarta dan jalan-jalan protokol seperti Sarinah, Thamrin, Sudirman, dan lainnya. Pemerintah juga perlu membuat sistem drainase eco-drainase yang mengalirkan air ke sumber resapan.
Ketiga, tidak optimalnya fungsi waduk maupun situ. Dalam catatannya, pada tahun 1990-an, Jakarta memiliki 70 waduk dan 50 situ. Namun, kini hanya tersisa 42 waduk dan 16 situ. Sebanyak 50 persen di antaranya pun tidak berjalan optimal. Waduk-waduk di Jakarta dipenuhi tumbuhan enceng gondok, limbah, dan sampah. Pendangkalan pun terjadi akibat sedimentasi lumpur. Waduk yang akhirnya mengering kemudian dijadikan daerah hunian.
"Untuk meningkatkan kapasitas optimalisasi, tentu perlu dilakukan revitalisasi pengerukan dan penataan. Kalau optimal, waduk bisa menjadi cadangan air bersih," terangnya.
Keempat, belum dilakukannya normalisasi di semua sungai. Menurut pengamat dari Universitas Trisakti ini, pemerintah harus melakukan normalisasi kali sekaligus merelokasi permukiman di bantaran sungai ke tempat yang layak huni.
"Kita harapkan 5 tahun ke depan sungai sudah selesai dinormalisasi yang lebarnya saat ini 20-30 meter menjadi 100 meter," ujarnya.
Sebelumnya, Kepala Pusat Data Informasi dan Humas Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (BNPB) Sutopo Purwo Nugroho mengatakan, pasang air laut dalam beberapa hari ke depan diprediksi tinggi. Pada Senin (21/1/2013), pasang akan memuncak hingga ketinggian 0,95 meter. Pada Sabtu (26/1/2013), pasang bisa mencapai 1 meter. Sementara pada Minggu depan, pasang bisa mencapai 0,95 meter.
Untuk diketahui, pada 2007, curah hujan yang mengguyur Jakarta mencapai 320 milimeter. Curah hujan di Jakarta belakangan ini sekitar 95 milimeter dan di wilayah hulu (Puncak, Bogor) sekitar 75 milimeter. Intensitas hujan di Jakarta saat ini sedang menurun. Namun, pada akhir Januari atau awal Februari, diprediksi curah hujan menjadi dua kali lipat.
Untuk itu, solusi masalah banjir Jakarta, tambah Joga, tidak hanya dengan melakukan rekayasa teknis seperti membuat sodetan dan gorong-gorong raksasa. Rekayasa sosial atau mengubah pola pikir masyarakat, menurutnya, lebih penting dilakukan. Pemerintah dan masyarakat harus sadar pentingnya ruang  terbuka hijau, mengerti bahwa bantaran sungai bukanlah lokasi hunian. Sadar dengan tidak membuang sampah sembarangan. Rekayasa teknis tidak akan menyelesaikan masalah banjir tanpa adanya kesadaran masyarakat itu sendiri.

The latest discovery

Latest InventionFuel oil (BBM) which is almost impossible to be updated has led many people continue to race to find alternative renewable fuels. Ranging from scientists to school children continue to find renewable energy fuel that can be applied in everyday life. There were researching various plants to be bioethanol, utilizing solar energy, some are using fuel gas is more environmentally friendly as a replacement fuel. In fact, emerging research now using urine as a substitute fuel. Urine or urine? Yes, urine was also able to be processed into energy to run the vehicle engine. This is according to research conducted two Grade 11 science classes SMAN 10 Malang, named Nurul Inayah and Nando Novia. They do this research for three months. Both make use of solar power and human urine into hydrogen that generates electricity to drive the car.With this fuel, the car can go at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. One liter of urine can produce electricity that can be used to run the vehicle as far as 17 kilometers. Thanks to this discovery, Nurul and Nando was awarded a gold medal in a competition International Young Inventors Project Olympiad (IYIPO) to-6 in Georgia. Urine as an alternative energy research is also developed at the Technische Universiteit Delft (Delft Technical University in the Netherlands) and research institutions DHV. In fact, recently they have signed a patent discoveries in China, South Africa, United States, and Europe.Radio Nederland in the Netherlands revealed the fuel from urine is able to supply the energy equivalent of 110 thousand megawatts. Electric power as much as it could about to meet the needs of 30,000 homes. Actually, how do I change this urine into alternative energy sources? The process is quite simple. As we know, urine contains ammonia compounds. If heated slowly, the urine will turn into ammonia gas. This gas is then fed into the fuel cell, a type of generator, and used to produce electrical energy.To meet the supply urine, they do it in a simple way. According to Dr. Jac Wilsenach, one of the researchers from the Technical University of Delft, his work with local governments to hold urine in public places such as offices, schools, malls, and airports. It can be used as a fuel alternative, it can also be used as urine urea harmless because it does not contain chemicals. Well, we think the urine is of no use turned out to contain many benefits to help the environment. Well, we think the urine is of no use turned out to contain many benefits to help the environment.

repeated encounters

 Mengulang Perjumpaan

 

Still looming in the past 2009 years, when Ms Imelda and Ms Eka play into this simple shop, and yesterday turned out to happen again. Braid that starts from persohiblogan (term friendships between bloggers findings Menik Mother). Blogosphere certainly more crowded now than a few years ago. Blogger2 who had been active now many are no longer, bloggers who had not we recognize even now far more popular because it is spirit-spirit. But Ms Imelda and Ms Eka including bloggers who had always remained active until now blogging well, always excited, and this is what makes me wonder.

Hours of 15:00 pm and Sister Sister Imelda Eka has arrived in stores Noodle Widow Cibinong 01, and then we headed for Bogor Sipatahunan Radio at 16.00 the two friends I was in good fortune on the water there. The road is quite swing allows us to quickly reach the site. Talk while waiting for any broadcast schedule we do, from issue blogs, books, gedget even up our minds to Indonesia more OK.

At 16.00 pm I was guiding the show before finally handed over to the mother Desi is a bit late in coming. I salute you, Ma'am Imelda and Ms Eka not seem awkward, stiff let alone panic. Though not rare event we were impressed resource awkward. Apparently eh was Ms Imelda has experience in the field on the water on the water's on the radio.  
 
At 17:00 pm on the water was completed, talked briefly and photographs having to immediately slid back to the tavern Mie Widow Cibinong for iftar. Simple Shop has provided for our table number six. Understandably, this unassuming shop so loved the noodle lovers. So remember when Mr. EWA came and since I finally got a table full of all the EWA to bring Mr. Noodle shop to another widow, fortunately this did not happen this time.

  Later than 19:00 pm, the encounter had to be terminated. The three of us split up, leaving wonderful memories. I get a lot of knowledge from them, from what they say and what they do. Not only that amazed me, but also my wife who also had me introduce them.
