Today on In Case You Missed It: Dutch police are training eagles to attack drones in areas deemed off-limits while simultaneously being way more rad than other antidrone solutions that use nets.
If you thought it was cool that the Japanese police were using a drone with a net to capture rogue drones, check out what the police are doing in the Netherlands. Dutch cops are working with a company called Guard from Above to see if trained eagles can be used to snatch nefarious drones out of the sky.
As it turns out the eagles are able to instinctively capture a drone and take it to a place away from people on the ground. Apparently, the eagles then try to eat the drone, but the handlers swap the drone for something tasty the eagle can eat.
The experiment is ongoing, but it will be cool if this works out. My concern is that the fast whirring propellers might hack off an eagle leg or cause other injury to the bird.
If you tend to drive at night, you know that it can get dangerous on roads without lighting. That’s one of the reasons why some engineers in the Netherlands decided to make their highways glow in the dark.
It was first suggested by Studio Roosegard back in 2012, and it was conceived to make roads safer as well as cut down on the amount of electricity needed to maintain the lighting on long stretches of highway. To this end, the N329 highway in Oss now has a 500 meter-long (~1640 foot) stretch which has glow-in-the-dark road markings. To pull off the trick, a photoluminescent powder was integrated into the road marking paint, and the lines charge up from sunlight captured during the daytime.
I have one concern though – how long will this paint last? It’s a known fact that paint on roads needs to be reapplied every few years.
