  • Solar energy: SEGS Solar Plant. Southern California Desert. Solar power. One of the three Luz International solar energy complexes in the Mojave Desert of California, USA. Together these sites, which cover 1000 acres, generate 275 megawatts of electricity, 90% of the world's total grid-connected solar energy production. This installation, located at Kramer Junction, has an array of 650,000 computer-controlled parabolic mirrors which track the sun across the sky, focusing it's light onto tubes containing a synthetic oil. The oil, which is thus super-heated to 391 degrees Centigrade, is used to boil water for steam turbine generators in one of five power plants. (1985).

  • Aerial of Solar energy installation: Solar energy: Solar Plant 1. Warner Springs, California. Solar Plant 1 was the largest privately funded solar powered electrical generator in the world when it was built in 1984. Built by LaJet Energy Company of Abilene, Texas , SolarPlant 1 is a five megawatt distributed receiver facility. There is no central tower to soak up sunlight reflected from a broad field of glass mirrors. Instead, each of the 700 concentrators--consisting of 24 plastic mirrors kept in shape by a vacuum pump- reflects sunlight into its own receiver. Water is pumped through the receiver, which turns to steam to drive a turbine to produce electricity. (1985).

  • The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC]: Seismic Monitor Nuclear test project in The Republic of Kazakhstan. In 1986 the USSR Academy of Sciences allowed the NRDC to install seismic monitoring instruments within a few hundred kilometers of their nuclear test site to verify that the USSR was not testing nuclear weapons underground during the nuclear test ban. By allowing this monitoring on their soil and by monitoring near the Nevada test site in the USA, mutual trust was built that facilitated the end of the Cold War.

  • Researchers adjust the mechanism of WE-3RIII, Waseda University's head robot, after it accidentally whiplashed into its own wires. In a situation all too familiar to robotics researchers, Atsuo Takanishi ( hand on right) is trying to make his creation work. His research team's robot, WE-3RIII (Waseda Eye Number 3 Refined Version III) can follow a light with its digital-camera eyes, moving its head if needed. In the laboratory the robot worked perfectly, its movements almost disconcertingly lifelike. But while being installed at a robot exhibit in Tokyo, WE-3RIII inexplicably and violently threw back its head, tearing apart its own wiring. Now Takanishi and one of his students (hand on left) are puzzling over the problem and will solve it only in the early hours of the morning before the exhibit opened. Japan. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 233.
