Deepest immersion carried out by a human being

The American explorer Victor Vescovo descended deep into the Mariana Trench. Mariana Trench is located in the western Pacific Ocean, about 200 km east of the Mariana Islands, and is the deepest point of the Earth’s oceans. It has a crescent shape and measures about 2550 km long and 69 km wide. Its maximum known depth is 10 994 meters at the southern end of a small valley at its bottom, known as Challenger’s Abyss. However, some measurements take their deepest point to 11 034 meters. Vescovo, aboard a submersible, thus achieved the record of the deepest immersion carried out by a human being. From inside the submarine Vescovo could observe the seabed for four hours. Dive was part of the Five Deeps expedition, an attempt to explore the deepest points of each of the world’s oceans. Vescovo could observe the seabed for four hours. During this time he observed…

The biggest kidney stone

The biggest kidney stone was removed from the right kidney of Wazir Muhammand (Pakistan) .This stone weighed 620g (21.87 oz). Your kidneys remove waste and fluid from your blood to make urine.

The largest mural made of useless writing instrument material

On November 6, 2020, the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria mounted the largest mural in the world made of useless writing instrument material. Along the wall of the parking lot of the School of Engineering in Telecommunications and Electronics, on the University Campus of Tafira, this mural extends 39.55 meters long by 1.83 meters high in which colorful fish can be distinguished, crabs and seahorses on a navy blue background. The mural is the result of the work of university students, it has 12,480 pieces that, like a puzzle, make up a pixelated image that plays with the visual acuity of the observer, who must be located about 20 meters away to be able to distinguish each one of them. the figures on the mural. In addition, it carries an intrinsic message, in order to have a seabed like the one in the image, you have to minimize…

The world's largest commercial aircraft

The world’s largest commercial aircraft, 73 meters long, with a capacity of 853 passengers and weighing around 575 tons. The Airbus A380 is a four-jet aircraft manufactured by the European company Airbus, a subsidiary of the Airbus Group. This is the first reaction aircraft with two decks along its entire fuselage, unlike the Boeing 747 in which, although it also has two, the upper deck covers only the front of the fuselage. It has a maximum capacity of 853 passengers – in a hypothetical high-density tourist-class configuration.

Despite being located over 120 miles from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri via I-70, Manhattan, Kansas, USA, is home to the world’s largest collection of Kansas City Chiefs Related Memorabilia. Curt Herrman, Chiefs super-fan and owner of the record setting collection, began building his “Chiefseum,” as he puts it, when he was just eight-years old. Over 50 years and 642 pieces of Kansas City Chiefs Related Memorabilia later, Herrman, who is also a Manhattan-Ogden school-board member, is potentially on the verge of holding his own spot in the Official World Records. “I think getting the world record would make it kind of make me feel like it’s been worthwhile,” Herrman said. The collection covers just about every wall and fills just about every shelf in the basement of Herrman’s home and is enough to take just about anyone’s breath away, Chiefs fan or not. “A lot of times I’ll…

The largest wave energy production plant

The largest wave energy production plant is located in the Guipuzcoan population of Mutriku, Basque Country, Spain. This generating plant, for commercial purposes, is an example of the great virtues of the so-called renewable energies. Not being the best known, it is one of the most efficient and sustainable. The Mutriku generating plant was inaugurated on July 8, 2011. It has 16 turbines that generate 296 kW and that at the end of the year produce 970MW / h. It is owned by the Basque Energy Agency that invested 6.7 million euros in its construction. The construction was carried out by the Scottish company Wavegen, a pioneer and benchmark in this technology, based on a system called OWC (Oscilating Water Column). This is one of the 3 main systems of exploitation of the waves. The OWC takes advantage of the change in level generated by the waves within watertight enclosures…

THE FASTEST ZIPPER IN SPEED

-The Ordesa Pirineo zip line is located in Fiscal, in the Sobrarbe region, in the center of the Huesca Pyrenees. It has managed to register a maximum speed of 189km / h as a result of the average of several GPS measurements. The descent was carried out by a flight instructor and paratrooper. These were several descents in which there was no brake to regulate the speed at the entrance of the braking station, so a parachute was used to guarantee safety. Weather conditions -With this certification, it is possible to consolidate the Zip Line of the Pyrenees, as the fastest zip line in the world, above 172 km / h of which the Italian Rocamassima Zip Line boasted. -It is a zip line that describes a catenary with a downward slope for most of the route.
