Tribute to Mama Piru. «An incredible woman and ambassador of the Race for Water foundation left us. I met Mama Piru during our first odyssey in May 2015 when we came to study the marin plastic wastes on the Island of the Rapa Nui. She quickly opened her doors and gave her trust. She is a leader who dedicated her life to preserve the heritage, the culture and the environment of the Island. An engaging person, animated by a strength and faithless. She fought everyday to improve the Rapa Nui conditions. She stand for her people in front of the United Nations and the brought together people. Mama Riu will stay in our heart forever. What a joy to have met her and gain her trust. A heartfelt thanks to you, Mama Piru. » Marco Simeoni. The Race for Water Foundation is dedicated to the preservation of the water and the oceans in particular. Today, seriously under threat from plastic pollution, it is imperative that this essential resource for life is protected.To prevent plastic waste from reaching the waterways and oceans by developing social models and business models that give value to plastic waste and hence encourage its collection.

Hear why this boat's handling wins raves, even sailing in 30 knots. Maneuvering is smooth and responsive, even in tight marina situations. A true sailor's dream. #BoatHandling #SailingLife #MarinaManeuvering #SailingAdventures

They will hold strong. Obviously they will surface rust, but still better than the plastic clips that will become brittle. Once they are not in service (after years) they can be recycled.

Quick test of a tiny QEV cannon firing air at 12atm, viewed through a Schlieren setup (no razor blade). Edited from to 1/4th normal speed. I didn't quite understood the need for a razor blade but without one I still see the flow of air. For me, the razor blade just makes the dot of light smaller(?) If anyone can clarify me what the razor blade really does and where it should be placed (in the source of light or in the camera) I'd really appreciate. Also important to note that this is AWESOME to look with the naked eye but almost the dimmest light can blind you. I covered a tiny LED torch with aluminum foil and punctured a hole with a sewing needle, on the side! so that the LED doesn't bright directly through the hole. Take care with the eyes!!
