HowStuffWorks "Jungle Survival: Finding Water"

nomoregrid:

To survive in the jungle, you’ll need to find water, and fortunately it rains a lot in rainforests. Learn more about how to survive in the jungle.

So while this is specifically pointed towards the jungle, I found there are some nice bits of information regarding water purification and collection in here, even for those who might not be in the rainforest ;)

Freedom Fighter

This odd new rifle is currently a prototype by Black Rain Ordnance, known mostly for their AR-15 and AR-10 firearms. If you notice the familiar charging handle, this rifle is loosely based on the AK platform, even using AK magazines. Currently its still undergoing modifications before it hits the market. Right now the main complaint is the weight due to the entire receiver is milled.

I’m somewhat skeptical as to what Black Rain Ordnance is aiming to accomplish with so many AK’s out there when you kind of try to factor in the what the Freedom Fighter may end up costing.

You can read the initial impression review in the link below.

G.R.A.D Knife Gun

A very interesting take on bringing a knife to a gun fight, the Global Research and Development (G.R.A.D) Knife Gun houses a small 5 shot revolving cylinder. They were chambered mostly in .22 LR and .22 Short. They were available in different styles, even a bayonet version for the AR-15.

The trigger is in the handle which pops up after you turn a small tab. Simply squeeze the trigger and it will fire like a revolver. Obviously not meant for long range or even accurate shooting, this is meant only close quarters use. One more important note about these guns; the BATFE classifies these as AOW (Any Other Weapons) so this isn’t legal in all states and requires paperwork. Not cheap either, they sell on average for $2,000+ depending on which model it is.

The Fairbairn–Sykes fighting knife is a double-edged fighting knife resembling a dagger or poignard with a foil grip developed by William Ewart Fairbairn and Eric Anthony Sykes in Shanghai based on concepts which the two men initiated before World War II while serving on the Shanghai Municipal Police in China.

The F–S fighting knife was made famous during World War II when issued to British Commandos, the Airborne Forces, the SAS and many other units, especially for the Normandy Landings in June 1944. With its acutely tapered, sharply-pointed blade, the F–S fighting knife is frequently described as a stiletto, a weapon optimized for thrusting, although the F-S knife is capable of being used to inflict slash cuts upon an opponent when its cutting edges are sharpened according to specification. The Wilkinson Sword Company made the knife with minor pommel and grip design variations.

The F-S knife is strongly associated with the British commandos and the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and Marine Raiders (who based their issued knife on the Fairbairn-Sykes), among other special forces / clandestine / raiding units. It features in the insignia of the British Royal Marines, the Belgian Commandos, the Dutch Commando Corps, founded in the UK during World War II, the Australian 1st Commando Regiment and 2nd Commando Regiment, and the United States Army Rangers, both founded with the help of the British Commandos. A solid gold F–S fighting knife is part of the commandos’ memorial at Westminster Abbey.

The first batch of fifty F–S fighting knives were produced in January 1941 by Wilkinson Sword Ltd after Fairbairn and Sykes had travelled down to their factory from the Special Training Centre at Lochailort in November 1940 to discuss their ideas for a fighting knife.

The F–S fighting knife (having little other practical application except for use in hand-to-hand combat) is now of interest mainly to collectors, though it remains in production because of continued collector interest.

New Plasma Device Considered The ‘Holy Grail’ Of Energy Generation And Storage
Scientists at the University of Missouri have devised a new way to create and control plasma that could transform American energy generation and storage.
Randy Curry, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Missouri’s College of Engineering, and his team developed a device that launches a ring of plasma at distances of up to two feet. Although the plasma reaches a temperature hotter than the surface of the sun, it doesn’t emit radiation and is completely safe in proximity to humans.
While most of us are familiar with three states of matter – liquid, gas and solid – there is also a fourth state known as plasma, which includes things such as fire and lightning. Life on Earth depends on the energy emitted by plasma produced during fusion reactions within the sun.
The secret to Curry’s success was developing a way to make plasma form its own self-magnetic field, which holds it together as it travels through the air.
“Launching plasma in open air is the ‘Holy Grail’ in the field of physics,” said Curry.
