News Thursday, January 14, 2010 D Crazy Spice savaged over her Idol TV debut Meins a large one with a heil of a kick Claims that students set up a Facebook group dedicated to an adolf Hitler drinking game are to be investigated. The two students at Huddersfield University who label themselves Fuhrers are said to have created Hitler The Drinking Game, which involves laying out cards in a swastika shape and leaves players completely ruined beyond belief. Busiest online sale is end of January irelanDs busiest online selling day will be January 20th, according to eBay. The auction site has predicted 30,000 unwanted Christmas gifts worth 179million will be for sale on eBay.ie. With post-Christmas purse strings at their tightest, people are selling unwanted items to make extra money before the January pay packet arrives, said eBays Patrick munden. ViCTOria BeCKHams dream of being a TV star in the Us is fading fast after critics branded her gaunt and crazy during her american idol debut. The guest judge was the nights saddest failure, said a los angeles Times reviewer. Her gaunt appearance was so off-putting it might have cost her the slot [ellen] DeGeneres eventually won. On the east Coast, they were scathing of her crazy face. i always thought a British accent made people sound smart but i guess i was wrong. simon really does have that X Factor, added new York blog The Village Voice. The 35-year-old didnt do herself any favours by taking friend and fellow judge simon Cowell to task over his rude style after he branded hopeful Bosa mora very, very dull. a pouting Posh said: i didnt find you boring at all, sparking a trademark eye roll from Cowell. Picking him up on his manners, she said:Why do you do that? responding, Cowell huffed: Do what?. That thing where you roll your eyes. it takes so much nerve to stand there and do that [audition]. meanwhile, iTV said yesterday it expected The X Factor to air as usual in the autumn, after Cowells announcement he is leaving american idol to launch The X Factor in the Us sparked fears the UK version could be affected. Manners: Victoria objects to Simons eye roll Glucose molecule ANODE CATHODE COLA WATER Hydrogen molecule Electron Membrane separator Electron Electron Electron Hydrogen ion Hydrogen ion Oxygen Water molecule 1 2 4 5 3 1. Glucose molecules in the cola drink are digested by enzymes releasing hydrogen molecules 2. All batteries contain two electrical conductors called an anode (positively charged) and a cathode (negatively charged). The anode, being positively charged, attracts the hydrogen atoms negatively charged electrons. These are stripped from the hydrogen molecule 5. The hydrogen ions combine with oxygen to form water (a water molecule is made up of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms) 3. The stripped electrons run around the circuit to the cathode, producing electricity 4. The hydrogen (now a hydrogen ion) minus its electrons passes through a membrane How to get power from cola In the future, your mobile phone will run on cola... well, thats the idea Coke: Its the real ring Eureka! The phone concept is powered by a fizzy drink. The user tops up the device with full-fat sugary cola to create energy while water is a by-product Pictures: Daizi Zheng YOUre sitting on the train, your mobile phone rings and the battery dies. so what do you do? Well, you could crack open a can of cola to get chatting. The bizarre idea could soon become reality after a designer produced a concept mobile phone that is powered by sugary soft drinks. Daizi Zheng came up with the phone as part of her graduation project at Central st martins College in lon- don. Her cylindrical design has a screw top at one end where you pour in the fizzy drink. The bio battery, in theory, gener- ates energy as glucose molecules in the cola drink are digested by en- zymes, releasing hydrogen mole- cules. Power, as in other fuel cells, is pro- duced through a flow of electrons be- tween a cathode and anode. By using bio battery as the power source of the phone, it only needs a pack of sugary drink and it generates water and oxygen while the battery dies out, Zheng said. Bio battery has the potential to op- erate three to four times longer on a single charge than conventional lithi- um batteries, she added. But, before you stock up on fizzy drinks, its worth noting the device has not been tested as a working model. a bio battery developed by sony in 2007 produced a maximum of 50mW. if this phone were to produce the same output, a metro calculation shows it would struggle to generate enough power to make a call. However, Zheng, who is now based in China, said bio battery technology was improving all the time and a mo- bile phone powered by Coke could be on the market within five years. The concept is certainly interest- ing, said mobile website 3G.co.uk.
