Recover or Track lost or stolen cell phone (mobile phone) using Tracker software and IMEI number

Hey Folks,
At some point of time, we may have realised that probably a cell phone or mobile phone theft is the worst thing to happen to a person. After all, it has taken over our everyday life and literally controls our life and sometimes, they are also prized possessions. Thus, it is pretty important that you protect your mobile phone or cell phone from such cases. "You can recover your mobile or cell phone using IMEI number", a pretty hotly searched topic on the internet but unfortunately, not many people do get their mobile phones back using this method. In short, it is very hard to recover your mobile or cell phone using IMEI number because they can be traced only when the police goes to the network provider and asks them for the whereabouts of the cell phone and a process I have hardly seen ever completed unless you are a celebrity or an eminent personality. But there are always precautions such as the Tracker softwares which play an important part to protect your mobile. If your mobile has GPS, you can get your tracker to even pin-point the thief's location making his day a bad hair day and day to forget. Such is the power.


So, if you wanna know more on how on the facts of recover your mobile or cell phone using IMEI number and how to Track your lost or stolen cell phone using Tracker software, click on the links above to safeguard your ultimate prized possession today itself.

TechKnow: Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) for F1 cars

Yesterday during the Australian Grand Prix, many would say history was made as the Brawn GP team finished 1-2 on the podium. Yes, what a moment and everyone knows that. But there were some F1 cars which were using something people were calling the KERS. So, let us know on what this KERS thing is exactly.

KERS, when expanded known as the Kinetic Energy Recovery System is a very unique and a debated addition to F1 racing. As most people watching F1 have already known that it's sort of a speed boost and gives a increase in the speed for a few moments. It gives a speed boost of exactly 6.6 seconds giving a total of 82hp during that period. So where is the energy to give the boost coming from?

It is coming from the Kinetic Energy lost during the braking of an F1 car. The wasted Kinetic Energy is transferred from the rear end of the wheel to a battery or supercapacitor and when fully charged, can be used for that speed boost.

The KERS is exemplified in complex high end systems such as the Zytek, Flybrid, Torotrak and Xtrac used in F1. The concept of transferring the vehicle’s kinetic energy using Flywheel energy storage was postulated by physicist Richard Feynman in the 1950s. The Xtrac & Flybrid are both licensees of Torotrak's technologies, which employ a small and sophisticated ancillary gearbox incorporating a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The FIA has defined the amount of energy recovery for the 2009 season as 400kJ per lap which translates to 6.6 seconds of 82hp speed boost. The transfer of power to a battery is the electronic KERS system. There is a mechanical KERS system also which uses a flywheel to store the wasted kinetic energy instead of a battery.

The KERS system was tested for the first time during yesterday's Australian Grand Prix in Albert Park, Melbourne. The KERS system is quite heavy and expensive as a result of which many teams have opted out of it. Among the ones which are using are Ferrari, McLaren, Renault and BMW Sauber. The KERS system does not have much impact in the qualifying times as demonstrated by the poor qualifying times by the above teams but during yesterday's race, overtaking and stopping another from overtaking proved to be quite useful with the KERS and the extra boost was helping quite a lot. This is only the beginning for this new technology but some experts suggest that this might be a safety hazard for drivers using it. It remains to be seen on how the KERS works as the season progresses but whatever it is, it makes the current season of F1 a little bit more interesting after the Rear Diffuser controversy which I will also discuss right here in this blog very soon.
