How to charge a phone from the rail tracks. Measuring voltage on the railway.
I don't recommend to repeat this not to cause false railway traffic jam by mistake. All the actions in this video were performed under the supervision of an experienced railway worker. There was nothing damaged during the shooting.
The description of an unusual method of charging a phone in extreme conditions for a tourist. Measuring voltage test showed that there is a small strain of about 5 Volt. It's a varying voltage transferring the code. There are quite high currents as voltage slumps during connection of the phone were not noticed. However, I don't recommend you to do like that not to cause disruption in work of railway by accident.

SpaceX Successfully Launches SES-9 Payload
After four launch delays over nine days, SpaceX finally boosted a 5.3-ton communications satellite into orbit Friday, blasting off from Cape Canaveral on a high-energy trajectory that will help the new relay station enter service about 45 days earlier than originally expected.
Under a crystal clear sunset sky, the 229-foot-tall rocket's nine Merlin 1D first-stage engines flashed to life just after sunset, at 6:35 p.m. (GMT-5), throttled up to 1.5 million pounds of thrust and pushed the Falcon 9 away from launch complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Launch tries Feb. 24 and 25 were called off because of problems super cooling the rocket's liquid oxygen propellant, a key feature in the upgraded booster's design. A third launch try Sunday was scrubbed after a boat wandered into the off-shore danger zone, triggering a delay. SpaceX attempted to launch later in the window but but a low-thrust warning triggered a dramatic engine shutdown on the pad. A fourth launch attempt Tuesday was scrubbed because of high winds aloft.
This time around, there were no propellant problems, the weather cooperated and the countdown hit zero right on time. Initially climbing straight up, the Falcon 9 quickly arced over and shot away to the east, putting on a spectacular show as the vehicle rose into the glare of the westering sun.

Jeremy Clarkson and the Top Gear team in an off road Merc
This is the moment the former Top Gear crew turned heads in a village while filming their new TV show - driving a bizarre jacked - up Mercedes with enormous off road wheels. Jeremy Clarkson, 55, was behind the wheel of the modified 1970s car which apparently cruised up and down the high street in quiet Cobham, Surrey, (Thurs). Footage shows the presenter slowing down to ask onlookers "are you filming this car because it's excellent?" James May was in the passenger seat while Richard Hammond can be seen in the back seat, apparently exasperated over Clarkson's enthusiasm for the unusual vehicle. The trio are currently filming their new Amazon Prime TV program.

Korean tourist joins some street musicians in Italy
"We were traveling in Florence, Italy.
He joined street players after saying I'm a bassist and if I could play some.
In Korea, he played it with four strings but there were only three, which might make him play little bit hard but amazing.
The song they played, Autumn leaves, is jazz standard, which is the reason why they could play together right away."
