New roller coaster that sends you 20 mph. Face First Fall

The 335-foot Falcon’s Fury, opens this spring at Busch Gardens Tampa .The Fury offers a thrill no other ride does: a 60-mph, face-first free fall.

1) Slow brake

After about 100 feet of free fall, magnets in the seats interact with raised metal strips on the sides of the tower. That attraction slows the descent and allows riders to swing back upright as they glide to a stop.

2) Custom harnesses

Designers modified a standard roller-coaster harness with an extra-thick cushion around the waist to support riders’ weight comfortably as they lie flat.

3) Hurricane-ready steel

The tower’s hollow steel construction has about three feet of give in any direction, allowing it to withstand the occasional Floridian tropical storm.

4) Extra-deep foundation

Engineers drove 105 steel support beams as deep as 205 feet into the ground and fused them together with a concrete cap. A four-foot-thick base secures the steel tower to the foundation.

5) 90-degree tilting seats

Once riders reach the top of the Falcon’s Fury, air compressors pull the seats from the bottom, tilting riders 90 degrees so that they’re staring nearly 300 feet straight down.

 It as the height of 335 feet, it can sit 32 seats per ride, and the speed of 60 mph.

This ride may be scary but is safe as can be.

Digital Orginazation to me is organizing your web sites and infornmation in an easy way.

Web 2.0 Tool

1)I would use the Plagarism tool;the class i would use it for is World History and the teacher is Ms.Garvin
2)I would use it on my research papers so I have proof that I do not plagarise.
3)It would teach me how to use my own work and not use information word by word on the internet.

Robotic Cubes That Stack Themselves

• M-Blocks look unassuming, but they can pivot and jump without external moving parts—a feat engineers have been trying to accomplish for years. 
• Because they’re mobile, the robotic cubes can stack on top of one another autonomously.
• Their inventors are now working toward the ultimate goal: programming them to combine into a larger, adaptable robot that performs tasks.
