World's fastest bike Pancal With Speed ​​133 km / h

Normally the most rapid cycling was around 50-70 kilometers per hour and if you bring the speed motorcycles only 80-120 only. But the sophisticated world's fastest bike has a speed of 133 km / h, was incredible.

Bicycles are manufactured by a Canadian company named Varna Innovation & Research Corporation. The fastest bike was ridden by Sam Whittingham and designed by Georgi Georgiev.

Apparently this company has become a record-breaking subscription fastest bike almost every year and every category. Determination of the record-breaking taken at Battle Mountain, Nevada, USA in 2009.

A record 82,819 mph or 133.28 km / h 200m printed on a category to a flying start, the male drivers who travel a distance of 200 meters with a start already in a state of walking with a certain speed and when it touches the point of starting the new drivers are allowed drive his bike as much as possible (flying start).

If you love watching Nascar racing cars or the A1 GP, yes something like that. The record has also been recognized by VIATeC Victoria Canada.

This bike-shaped recumbent bike that I ride with a lie, foot pedals and hand selonjor boost is on the handlebar is aligned with the driver's chest or neck. Much like driving F1 cars.

Because it takes a good aerodynamic bike is then covered with a fairing made ​​from lightweight and shaped flat like a fish body. Even the wheels are also covered only meyisakan fourth parts are visible.

However, motorists can still meilhat track because there is material that is also light but transparent so that the withdrawal fighter jet cockpit.

MicroFueler, Petrol Station Personals in Your Home Page

Innovation without limits. The sentence that inspired Thomas Quinn founder of the company E-Fuel and creating revolutionary products, MicroFueler, a tool to create a home-based ethanol. Called home, because the public could be used to make ethanol from household waste.

The shape is similar to gasoline at the pump dispenser. Just the color is predominantly green and white and using the same material with a washing machine, so its weight is relatively mild.

Consisting of three parts. First, MicroFueler operate with the help of supporters MicroFusion reactor to break down organic waste into liquid frementasi with sugar content. The liquid is then processed again into ethanol and can be loaded directly into the tank mobi. Summarize!

According to the company, the main advantage that the machine is "like sweets", by fermenting sugars into fuel. Sugar is a product that is always affordable and world supply is always adequate.

For the production process, this machine requires water and electricity supply 3 kWH or one-tenth of the average daily electricity consumption of households. Within seven days of operation, this machine is capable of producing 70 gallons or 264.9 liters of ethanol to be consumed free of charge.

Well, the electricity supply must use a special generator called GridBuster. The three components are sold separately, the total price of U.S. $ 30,000 (Rp266, 1 million).

Actually, E-Fuel was first launched in 2008 and became one of superior products hometown of Los Gatos California to support the project as the greenest state in the United States and also in the world.

But because the price is quite expensive, the sale is not successful. E-Fuel major consumer until now is still within the University and government departments that have more funds.

Unfortunately, still minimal compatible vehicles that have engines consume up to 85 percent ethanol (E85). Until now the new U.S. sets the standard E10 ethanol consumption.

If marketed in Brazil, certainly no response. The reason, ethanol, E95 is the major fuel in the country Samba.

Scientists Reveal Secrets of Successful Earth Magnets

Earth's core is gradually melting and freezing due to heat circulation of mantle rock. These findings help understand the formation of the Earth's core.

In addition to understanding the Earth's core formation, these findings can also be used to determine how the outer core acts like a magnetic field generating geodynamo.

"The origin of magnetic fields up to now remained a mystery to scientists," said researcher Jon Mound of Leeds.

"We can not get a core sample of the Earth, so we just rely on surface measurements and computer models to determine which occurred in the Earth's core," he continued.

The interior of the Earth's core of solid iron about the size of the Moon is surrounded by dynamic fluid outer core of iron-nickel-iron core that caused many freezes and melts.

Disappeared when the cold heat flow from the core into the mantle passed to the Earth's crust through a process of convection. Convection currents move warm coat to the surface and send back to the core mantle cold.

"Movement is what gives power 'geodynamo' to generate a magnetic field. Our new model provides a simple explanation of some confusing measurements of scientists for many years,"he concluded.

Aimec, Robot Substitute Child at Home

Do not have children or pets do not necessarily make a British couple was disappointed. With a background as a toy maker, Tonny Ellies and his wife, Judie and then create a robot that plays home to 'children' them.

"Meet the family of the 21st century," said 54-year-old man was patting him on the shoulder Aimec robot. Yes, Aimec is a robot child with a height of about 120 cm. Aimec or Artficially Intelligent Mechanical Electronic Companion 3 is indeed created with an attitude like humans. Even he is smart enough to make jokes, snoring when sleeping and squirm when awake. Not only that, the robot is connected to the internet via wireless connectivity that enables it to find things that he did not understand. He also connected with the household appliances that can turn on the television, lights and all other electronic goods. Besides can detect sound, Aimec with one eye capable of running on wheels suitable map or follow a person's house.

Ellis who has long created the mechanical and digital toys that have been enjoyed by millions of children around the world are hoping Aimec prototype could be the first commercial robot to affordable and useful at home.

"Ten years from now every house will have a robot. They will help cut the grass, cooking, cleaning and other work," lid Ellies saying robots will be available in stores at a price of about USD 256 or about USD 2 million.

Robots Drive, Swarm, Jump into Smithsonian Collection

They are part of the robot collection at the National Museum of American History in Washington.
Curator Carlene Stephens says even though these androids are just movie props, they represent something much more. “They have a long history. And, as a history museum, they fit directly into our interest in things relating to industry, things relating to invention and innovation."


Among Stephens’ favorites is a 450-year old carved wood figure from Germany. The intricately designed object, less than 40 centimeters tall, is a kind of prototype robot from the mechanical age.
“It looks like a figure of a monk and it rolls across the floor, simulating walking, simulating the mea culpa and simulating rising a crucifix to its lips and kissing it," says Stephens. "All the while, he’s rolling across the floor his eyes are moving side to side.”

Worldwide, more than six million robots labor on factory assembly lines and perform military service.  Among the robots in the museum is PackBot, a remote controlled minesweeper that’s also used in surveillance operations by U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Then there is the driverless car, named Stanley, that raced more than 200-plus kilometers across southern California’s Mojave Desert to win the $2 million DARPA Challenge.

“I had to take a chance that Stanley is going to represent a key moment in the history of American technology that indicates the future of driving," says Stephens. "Stanley at this moment influences driving of the future. Already we have cars that park themselves, that have collision avoidance systems. Stanley is in this stream of inventive outpouring.”
That stream of inventive outpouring has helped generate new gifts to the museum. Bruce Hall, the president of a California-based company called Velodyne, came to the Smithsonian with an assortment of electronic sensors and obstacle-detection devices that were invented by his brother Dave and deployed on robotic vehicles in DARPA Challenge races.  He says the HDL-64 is a game-changer.


“It contains 64 lasers. So we have all this: about 2.5 million points of data per second - distance points per second - around the vehicle. So it gives us a complete understanding of everything going on around us so we can make intelligent navigation decisions.”

Hall says his company's innovation could make its way into safety features and eventually, the brothers believe, to robotic cars and trucks. “You will see advancements, I believe in our lifetimes, when you tell (the car) to drive somewhere and it will take you there.”

Barry Spletzer, former senior scientist at Sandia National Laboratories Intelligence Systems and Robotics Center, was “nothing short of astonished” to have his miniature robots in the Smithsonian.  “It was just a project to see how small we could make robots.”

Spletzer came to the museum with a gift box of mini-robots that include the Miniature Autonomous Robotic Vehicle or MARV and other tiny offshoots. “They are historically significant because we have the world’s smallest robot. We have the world’s highest-hopping robot. We have several cooperative, ‘swarm’ robots. These are all advances in technology in the last 10 to 15 years.”                                                               

Spletzer says these robotic technologies are finding uses in space exploration, medicine, and security systems. Museum Curator Carlene Stephens hopes the donated robots and others that follow will remind the public about the important role science and technology play in everyday life.
