Innovación

Desde hace algún tiempo se viene hablando de la posibilidad que ofrecen los estadios deportivos para generar energía eléctrica. En algunos lugares como Japón ya se han realizado pruebas para ello y Movistar quiso repetir el experimento hace unas semanas en el partido liguero que enfrentó a Real Madrid y Málaga en el Estadio Santago Bernabeu.. 

A grandes rasgos, el experimento consiste en convertir la energía que generan los aficionados mientras animan a su equipo en energía eléctrica. Para ello se utilizan unas placas piezoelétricas que recogen la energía del público. Para hacer más vistoso el experimento, Movistar utilizó la electricidad generada para alimentar una pantalla gigante en la que se veía el partido.

Para poder llevar a cabo el experimento se instalaron estas placas en unos de los fondos del Bernabeu y en cuanto el público se puso a animar, allá que comenzó a fluir una energía que se vio favorecida por los 7 tantos que marcó el Real Madrid y que animaron a su hinchada. Si algún día la idea se lleva a cabo, se instalarían placas en todo el estadio y en los asientos. (fuente: Altaspulsaciones)

Why Apple Makes iPhones In China

Hi folks,

please fin below a really interesting doc from http://www.businessinsider.com  by Henry Blodge.

 Your iPhone is built, in part, by 13-year olds working for ~70 cents an hour. But that's not the only reason Apple builds them in Shenzhen.

Apple does not build iPhones in USA, just because there is no longer an ecosystem here to support that manufacturing.
There´s no supply chain, there aren´t enought supoer-low-cost employees and not enought mid-level engineers.

  The real reasons Apple makes iPhones in China, therefore, are as follows:

• Most of the components of iPhones and iPads — the supply chain — are now manufactured in China, so assembling the phones half-a-world away would create huge logistical challenges. It would also reduce flexibility — the ability to switch easily from one component supplier or manufacturer to another.
• China's factories are now far bigger and more nimble than those in the United States. They can hire (and fire) tens of thousands of workers practically overnight. Because so many of the workers live on-site, they can also press them into service at a moment's notice. And they can change production practices and speeds extremely rapidly. 
• China now has a far bigger supply of appropriately-qualified engineers than the U.S. does — folks with the technical skills necessary to build complex gadgets but not so credentialed that they cost too much.
• And, lastly, China's workforce is much hungrier and more frugal than many of their counterparts in the United States.
