In California, will drive the cleanest car

If all goes as intended by the authors of this document, the California firm will soon take first place in the list of the most friendly towards the environment of regions and local drivers will save thousands of dollars at the pump.

The provisions of the document affect the four main themes: greenhouse gases, smog, vehicles with zero emissions, as well as fueling stations for the latter.

The first two points are clear without further explanation - all new model vehicles must be equipped with equipment that will reduce harmful effects on the environment. But with the Zero Emissions Vehicles (ZEV) and the ingredients for these things are interesting.

Indeed, as early as 2015 in California promise to start the first production car on hydrogen. And to their owners did not have to travel across the state to find gas stations, they will be built almost within walking distance.

Americans have demonstrated a swarm of 20 maneuvers minikopterov

University of Pennsylvania engineers have learned a lot of miniature flying machines to perform complex maneuvers agreed. The spectacular somersault that nanovertolety get up in the air, shots seem a science fiction movie.

Kushleev Alex (Alex Kushleyev), Daniel Mellindzher (Daniel Mellinger) and Vijay Kumar (Vijay Kumar) from the University of Pennsylvania GRASP Laboratory teamed with producer KMel Robotics. Together they have programmed 20 minikopterov and received a small remote-controlled air battalion.

Roy was named Kvadrorotory Nano (Nano Quadrotors). And although the popular console has no bearing on the case, innovation does not take toy cars.

Maneuvering in the air, they are easily arranged in the most intricate shapes is not worse than the habit of Chinese circus performers. For example, in one of the tests minikopteram was given the task to move along the trajectory of eight, with what kvadrorotory coped brilliantly! The devices are also easily overturned in the air and bend around obstacles, being divided into separate groups.

But the scientists, of course, pored over a swarm of robots is not for the sake of entertainment - a concerted action platoon of miniature machines in the future may come in handy on the battlefield, in rescue operations, to monitor how else objects, searching for victims and buildings.

Technical details of the developers have not yet reported. It remains impressive to watch the video of the joint flight of several minikopterov.

Earth is close to a giant asteroid - Eros

Asteroid Eros (also known as the 1898 DQ) was opened in August 1898 the German astronomer Karl Witt (Carl Witt) and independently by the Frenchman Auguste Charlouis' (Auguste Charlois). He became the first known asteroid, which is able to cross the "natural border" of the main asteroid belt - the orbit of Mars - and approach close enough to the Earth, RIA-Novosti reported.

As scientists believe, over the next 2 million years might change its orbit so that Eros will cross Earth's orbit and, hence, there is a danger of its collision with our planet. The consequences can be more severe than Chiksulubskaya catastrophe 65 million years ago, when the fall in the 10 km of a celestial body in the Caribbean led to the extinction of the dinosaurs.

But this time, scientists have confirmed that the asteroid will pass by, but a host of Internet video showing a picture of the alleged consequences of the collision.

Experimental drone nEUROn ready for testing

The program «nEUROn» - Development of appropriate technologies to create a shock-reconnaissance UAV that can operate freely over the territory of the enemy, if necessary, identified hitting enemy targets, both independently and through the remote control. In 2004, the French company "Dassault Aviation" Evrokontsernom contract with the creation of an unmanned vehicle on the program. Dassault Aviation said that the experimental model for the test cycle is called «nEUROn».

UAV «nEUROn» by several fitted with navigation systems - inertial and satellite. Advanced technology "Stealth" help drones to fly silently over enemy territory to carry out various tasks. In addition, «nEUROn» provided a channel for data transmission, carbon fiber hull design and a special compartment to carry weapons. UAV for the automatic detection and recognition of the detected objects, which gives «nEUROn» accurately identify ground and air targets. The first sample UAV «nEUROn» at the request of French designers is ready to start a series of flight tests. Upon completion of the test Evrokontsern fully determined by the appointment of drone - or it will be a reconnaissance UAV, or unmanned aircraft strike or dual-UAV. If you need to attack the ability of UAVs, their implementation will be delayed for 3 years. In a program to create UAV has already spent more than 300 million euros. In total, the program involved six European countries - Spain, Italy, Switzerland, France, Sweden, Greece. Total contract prototype and series of tests will cost Evrokontsernu in more than 400 million euros. Plan to make about a hundred different missions, the experimental model, some of which, with the test aircraft minibomb guided by laser.

In mid-2005 the French company "Dassault Aviation" signed a contract with an international group of «Thales» to create a host of high-frequency data for the generated drone «nEUROn». High-frequency components will be included in a transmission system for communication between the unmanned vehicle and control station on earth. For communication protocol will use the NATO-standard «STANAG 7085." In addition, communication will ensure that the transmitter at a low frequency. At high frequencies, the UAV will transmit intelligence, such as photographed images, video and data of the radar. At low frequencies used in data transmission technology will ensure the integrity of the transferred material.

The French aerospace company «Dassault Aviation», being the main developer of the program to create a shock-reconnaissance UAV that can operate freely over the territory of the enemy, if necessary, identified hitting enemy targets, both independently and through remote control, is fully responsible for the design work . Namely, in terms of performance, the project UAV system architecture and management, final assembly and a series of tests. In «Dassault Aviation» already has experience in building unmanned vehicles, in 1999, she began to develop a UAV program «Aeronef Validation Experimental». For the fuselage, avionics and electronic filling, fuel supply system and the payload meets Swedish company «Saab Aerosystems». For propulsion, the creation of some sections of the hull, and the test equipment complies with the Greek company «Hellenic Aerospace Industry», which in 2004, "Dassault Aviation" signed a memorandum on the program «Dassault UCAV», that in consequence of the program has developed into a «nEUROn» . Spanish aircraft manufacturers are responsible for the development of wings, ground control station and ground type data transmitter. With the Spaniards, the French aircraft manufacturers signed an agreement in 2005. Swiss «RUAG» is responsible for the weapons used and the tests in a wind tunnel. The Italian aircraft manufacturers are developing a system of power, weapons bay, and a system for removal of the test data of test flights. In addition to six European countries to apply for participation in the program, Turkey.

The design and device «nEUROn»
At first glance, looks like a prototype of the UAV program «AVE-C". As «AVE-C», drone «nEUROn» is made without a tail fin and created in the W-shaped design of the wing. In the high-tech drones carried avionics and technology "Stealth". The tests must show the possibility of UAVs in a variety of conditions and the possibility of using in combat. The length of the prototype 9.5 m, range w-shaped wings of 12.5 meters, its weight - 4.5 tonnes at full load - 6 tons. The chassis has a standard three-wheeled drone performance. UAVs will be able to raise the 2nd-guided bombs on the laser, each weighing 250 pounds. Placed a bomb in the bomb bays will be. Expected time spent in the air at least 2 hours. The flight speed of up to 1200 km / h Control is possible with the UAV control stations on the ground control stations located in the aircraft and autonomous control. UAV Propulsion «nEUROn» - two of RD «Adour Mk 951." These engines have provided about 100 different aircraft. The technology used to create a UAV «nEUROn», will be applied in the future, the modernization of the fighter «Gripen», after which he will remain in service until at least 2035.

Audi RH: eco-friendly sports car on hydrogen engine

For residents of metropolitan driving less is a pleasure. Yes, sports cars on the streets a lot, but not in traffic especially overclocked. And breathe polluted air, too, you will not find a lover. To the good old days have returned, it is necessary to completely revise our understanding of the automotive industry.
Audi RH


This solution offers designer Michael Sherger (Michael Scherger), kotoyry in collaboration with Audi AG has developed the concept of environmentally friendly sports car Audi RH. The car boasts a compact size (only 3.2 meters in length), and only two seats: driver's seat is located in the middle of the car and the passenger - the driver behind. Thus, the ride in this car will look like in flight aerotrube. The concept dates from 2015, and as soon as the development of producer involved, it is possible to believe that this sports car will do at the designated time.

Devil's sport bike Infernus

Why in the world so many similar things to each other, and original products appear terribly rare? Who is more afraid of risk: the sellers or buyers? Designer Nicholas Kawamoto (Nicholas Kawamoto) prefer not to spend time on this issue, instead it shows the concept of motorcycle Infernus, which will allow anyone to stand out from the gray crowd.



The machine is made in a bold bright colors, and her body is in dalianski abstract form that meets the requirements of aerodynamics. And indeed, there is a motorcycle Infernus something predatory and demonic, and if a case is hiding as a wild and powerful engine, the form and content of this concept have found harmony. Interestingly, after a three-dimensional illustration of the concept and Nicholas made ​​the full-size model. Is this beauty ever appear on the road? If so, for this evil and take the bike in harmony with his clothes, and not some satanic robe, but something sporty, jacket, suit and running shoes New Balance.

Exit Samsung Galaxy S III is scheduled for March 2012

Market experts mobile does not exclude the possibility that the line smartphone Samsung Galaxy will soon be added an interesting new instance. The release of the new Samsung Galaxy S III, which promises to present users with lots of surprises, previously scheduled for March, but the actual release dates of the gadget can move due to the influence of objective factors.
Samsung Galaxy S III

For information on when the new gadget comes out and managed to find out the Dutch portal Mobile Cowboys, which was first published information on the replenishment of the line Samsung Galaxy, which include such bestsellers as Samsung Galaxy S WIFI 5.0 and many other equally popular "Star "the market for mobile devices. By the way, Samsung Galaxy S WIFI 5.0 for several months, retains top sales in the multimedia mini-tablets.

The source claims that the documents confirming the release of the new S III in March this year there, and the authors have seen the material date of March 13, 2012 with my own eyes. At one time a similar situation was with the tablet Samsung Galaxy S WIFI 5.0, which was released long kept secret in order to maintain the intrigue. However, the line of Samsung Galaxy is so popular that frustration simply could not be, and the producers had nothing to fear initially. To this day, Samsung Galaxy remains one of the most popular projects of the company, which earned her the lion's share of sales.

The first country which reportedly may receive Samsung Galaxy S III is, strangely enough, Turkey. If we consider that such bestsellers as Samsung Galaxy S WIFI 5.0 out first on the European market, and then spread around the world, the decision of the company seems strange. However, the manufacturer always knows best, after all, he lays in its production characteristics that are designed for specific target audiences. So, Samsung Galaxy S WIFI 5.0 has been designed to query the Europeans, and the new S III, perhaps, puts it on the temperamental southern origin. It is not excluded that the bet is placed on immigrants from the CIS, as Turkey - a center of international tourism.

Journalists Portal Mobile Cowboys also mentioned in their articles of updates to Samsung Galaxy Note and S II Plus, time-which is still unknown, and the specifications of gadgets so far remain a mystery, but is rumored to their release could take place later this year.

Nokia wants to give up from wired interface

An interesting conversation came from the journalists British newspaper the Guardian and the new head of design, Nokia Antissari Marco (Marko Antissari). It turns out that the Finnish manufacturer is dreaming of is to completely abandon the wired interfaces on branded smartphones. Of course, this will happen not once, but the right direction of development is already planned.


Mr. Antissari noted that in the near future, Nokia will release a series of smartphones Lumia without plugs on port micro USB, which is used for charging and PC synchronization. The designer said that these caps are one of the two moving items on the smartphone, and the fewer, the more convenient to use the device. However, for long-term strategic company plans to get rid of the connectors, which means that there will be wireless and charging.

 Another major innovation, but in the near future will be the emergence of chip devices NFC. The chips used in mobile payments systems, and quick pairing smartphones with wireless Bluetooth-accessories. It allows users to surf the phone menu, and perform one-touch connection. But on the timing of the introduction of NFC comments made by representatives of Microsoft, they said that smartphones with the chips of this standard will only appear in October this year. This means that support NFC will only appear in the Windows Phone Apollo.

Paralet "Begalet": transport of the future

Begalet, the development of graduate MAI AA Begak - is paralet third generation, a new type of vehicle that can drive, fly and swim, as this transformer. Not only can you fly on it day and night, but glide through the water and snow.

The device is driven by a capsule located behind the engine with a pusher propeller. The air support unit connected to the capsule of the many slings "soft wing". Is able to levitate to a height of 4000 meters, range without refueling is 400 km. The motor is 30 horsepower can reach speeds in the air 160 km / h and on the ground - 80 km / h.

The motor is 30 horsepower can reach speeds in the air 160 km / h and on the ground - 80 km / h.

Maneuvering for a run along the ground (or ice) is carried out by means of steering wheels. Actions of the driver-pilot (and in the air and on land) insures kompyuter.V board from 9 to 24 April 2009, a high-latitude tropospheric experiment "North Pole-2009", whose team landed at the station "Barneo". The main purpose of the expedition was to conduct flight tests to increase the mobility of the Arctic stations, glaciological and meteorological research complex. Throughout the duration of the conquerors of the expedition in the Arctic in extreme conditions, a series of tests microplane with soft wing "Begalet - Arctic 1." The device was able to raise from the drifting station "Barneo" to a height of 4721 meters. Thus Alexander Begak set a world record for the pulse of the experiment, ie, lifting the lower stratosphere mikroletatelnogo apparatus. The expedition also included a student of 4th-year student at the Moscow Aviation Institute, Nikita Kuprikov.

100 km / h in 3 seconds: electric car made of fiberglas

The company introduced the PG in Berlin, the world's first electric car, which develops 100 km / h in less than 3 seconds.

Electric sports PG Elektrus differs from most mass-produced electric vehicles concentration of many expensive technologies that will create a set of interesting features.

The car, which reaches a top speed of 300 km / h, equipped with a reliable asynchronous electric motor 268 hp high torque of 350 N / m. The high-tech lithium-ion battery provides high voltage motor (480 V) and has a capacity of 54 kW / h, which provides a cruising range of 350 km. This is a two and a half times more than the production of compact electric vehicles, which have a cruising range at 120-150 km. From the outlet 380 battery charges in just 4 hours, and from the household mains 220 V - 8 hours. At the rear is PG Elektrus solar panel that recharges the battery "gratuitous" energy or fuels music system and interior lighting.

Large stock of progress and outstanding acceleration performance is achieved largely thanks to a specially developed body. It is made of fiberglass, which, despite the heavy battery, reduced weight PG Elektrus to 786 kg.

High performance electric car once again prove that the electric body needs new technology as traditional heavy metal enclosure significantly reduces the travel distance per battery charge.

Unfortunately, high performance two-seater also reflected in its price: at a cost of about 370 thousand dollars PG Elektrus unlikely to become a mass private transport.

Telepathy: Scientists have learned to read minds

Researchers from the University of California, learned to "eavesdrop" inner monologue rights by creating a special device that converts brain waves into text and sound. They hooked up the set of electrodes to the human brain centers responsible for hearing, and then using sophisticated electronic processing had the opportunity to hear words that are pronounced the man himself.

It has long been known that professional musicians, watching a video game pianist in the mute mode, it is still "hear" the melody. This fact prompted researchers to suggest that we can try to make the reverse process.

Install built a team of scientists led by Robert Knight, analyzes human brain waves, and then using a special electronic dictionary "translates" them into sounds. Thus, with staff, University of California recognizes the sounds of their mental realization. Neuroscientists have conducted an experiment in which 15 people attended. Implanted in the brain of each subject's set of electrodes, they gave people to listen to a dialogue or a monologue lasting for five minutes. At this time, the researchers scanned the brain regions react to sounds.

At the final stage of the experiment, scientists gave people listen to one word, then the machine instantly translated to text and sound, based on the performance of nerve impulses. Despite the fact that the quality of "digested" the sound is not ideal, researchers celebrate their victory: they proved that to read minds is quite real. N euro scientists believe that their discovery will allow patients who fall into a coma or have lost the power of speech after a stroke, to communicate with their loved ones. And with the technology can transmit thoughts at a distance by means of special hand-held devices.

Aviation Design: Zero

How many times are we stuck in the traffic and we dream about flying away from the urban jungle? Hector Del Amo, a Spanish designer from Gijon, has found a smart solution to it, its name is Zero helicopter concept and it is thought as a personal urban transportation. The name comes from its round shape recalling the number zero.

The first batch of gaming laptops Razer Blade sold in just 30 minutes

The first party is really playing Laptop Blade, as they are called in the company Razer, completely disassembled in 30 minutes. Razer has announced that sales of a powerful gaming laptop Razer Blade will start January 27 at 9 pm. Every one had been sold in 30 minutes after launch. Buyers do not even scared off an impressive price to ask for a laptop - 2,800 dollars.

Ming-Liang Tan, executive director of the Razer could not resist and said such a fuss over his page in Facebook:

Recall that the Razer Blade equipped with 17-inch Full HD display with LED backlight, running on a processor Core i7 2640M, offers 8GB of DDR3-1333 memory, 256GB solid state drive capacity, graphics card Nvidia GeForce GT 555M and, of course, the so-called "change the user interface" with 10 adaptive touch buttons and LCD screen.

Sounds like an exotic sports car

The upcoming Geneva Salon will be rich in exotic premieres. After the Ferrari, the other day to present the concept of a hatchback FF, similar to the network premiere of Geneva held another Italian manufacturer of super cars - Pagani. The new Pagani is the brainchild of the fastest car in the brand's history, which may be issued at the peak speed of 370 km / h. The only thing that spoils the product - its name. Agree, Zonda sounds much more harmonious than Huayra.

Length of model - 4605 mm, width - 2036 mm, height - 1169 mm, wheelbase - 2795 mm. His unusual name in honor of the car was an Indian god of wind Huayra, which at the rate he is not inferior. In the engine compartment is a 6.0-liter V12 AMG c two turbochargers power 710 hp and 1000 Nm of torque, which is paired with a 7-speed sequential very light (96 kg) transmission. At the heart of the machine incorporated titanium-carbon fiber chassis, through which the weight of the vehicle does not exceed 1350 kg. The relatively small mass and revving engine provides acceleration from zero to 100 km / h in just 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 370 new km / h.



The body is made of carbon fiber and has the best aerodynamic performance. Additional stability is provided on the road with four electrically adjustable air inlets, which are themselves open throttle and improve downforce as needed. Doors Zonda's successor made in the style "gull wing" and open up.

Interior Pagani Huayra, stuffed with lots of electronics, like the cockpit. It is reported that the car is the latest generation multimedia system with touch screen, bluetooth-module. The decoration is used expensive high-quality leather upholstery, aluminum, carbon fiber.


Well, the most important thing. Online Pagani Huayra will end at the price of 1.368 million dollars.

Fully self-contained combat drone X-47B

Of course, not very much like to believe that science fiction writers and directors of war films with human robots are right, but the problem is that their gloomy prophecies come true gradually. Currently under development one of the machines that will fight future John Connor. We are talking about combat unmanned aircraft X-47B.

We are talking about combat unmanned aircraft X-47B.

Despite the fact that such machines are usually called unmanned, in fact, a pilot is present, although it would be truer to call it by the operator. The operator may be halfway around the world, but part of making the machine itself can not fulfill. The most important innovation in a model of X-47B is its high degree of autonomy. This means that the UAV itself carries off, paving the route to the target, striking her own, returned to base and landed.

This means that the UAV itself carries off, paving the route to the target, striking her own, returned to base and landed.

And the only thing that remains the man - machine programmed to indicate the approximate flight plan and setting the target. This was confirmed by a top manager of Northrop Grumman, Karl Johnson (Carl Johnson): «It is self-performs all calculations and decide what to do next." One can only hope that the algorithms are robust, and none of the X-47B does not go mad and do not declare their goal of "all men." And, frankly speaking, all possible and impossible autonomous vehicles on the order of hitting the target should always be given exclusively by the operator. The machine should not make decisions about the destruction of man, even if you specify the target.

Massager uPixie

Long hours spent at the computer, can cause not only headaches, but pain in the neck, shoulders, waist and other body parts. Therefore, to not look like a question mark after the end of the day at the office or home gatherings such as in any MMO, OSIM has been developed by the USB device uPixie.

New product very easy to use. Simply connect it to the USB port, and special pads fasten around the neck, back, and so on. The device operates on the principle of electrical muscle stimulation. To get the massage portion now you do not even need to move away from your computer or laptop. uPixie can be programmed to several types of massage.

The cost of this massager is $ 170.

Concept Opel RAK e studio from Kiska

Concept Opel RAK e was introduced in September 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This electric car, 100 kilometers of which will cost the owner just 1 euro. It weighs 3 times less than conventional compact car and accelerates to 120 km / h in less than 13 seconds.
It weighs 3 times less than conventional compact car and accelerates to 120 km / h in less than 13 seconds.
 
The concept was made KISKA studio in collaboration with Opel. It is named in honor of the record car RAK 2 rocket engine, on which Fritz von Opel in 1928, clocked up to 228 km / h. RAK e conceived as a "radical design that would meet the needs of budget-conscious young people looking for a suitable transport for the city."

RAK e conceived as a "radical design that would meet the needs of budget-conscious young people looking for a suitable transport for the city."

Working on the concept of RAK, KISKA and Opel used a new approach to design. For example, the exterior and interior have been designed in a single process, with many years of experience in designing KISKA motorcycle, car and work with lightweight materials. Space frame made of steel, plastic outer panels. Takako design for RAK high level of safety, affordability and low weight. The developers note that with a minimum expenditure of energy, this concept is a logical continuation of the Opel Ampera.

RAK e width of 1.3 meters, length of about 3 meters, height 119 cm interior accommodates 2 people, nestled in tandem scheme. This arrangement allows for optimum aerodynamics and efficiency. Hood, acting as a roof and windshield, provides an overview of 270 degrees. For the convenience of steering wheel input and output is automatically rejected in the way when the hood is open. In this clever hinge ensures that the hood when picked up not too much increases the height of the machine. For very young drivers car can be set to a maximum speed of 45 km / h with low power consumption.

For KISKA concept is a reflection of her 20-year experience in long-term transportation design. Having worked with almost all major manufacturers of motorcycles in 2007 KISKA developed its first four-wheeled car, KTM X-Bow. According to founder Gerald Pussy studio, it was a key moment in the company, which decided to focus on innovative materials and technologies. Now lightweight constructor for the Austrian studio just fancy words, and attitude to work and the only solution for urban mobility of the future.

Electric bus recharged every 2 km


The German company AutoTram tried to create a new passenger vehicle, which would be absorbed in a mobility buses and trams environmental safety. To solve this problem, they had pretty poraskinut brains, but was born a very promising machine, which moves in an electric motor powered by batteries and super-low capacitance, which turned out to be quite enough.

An important advantage of small batteries are not only their small size and light weight, but also a small charging. Therefore, in the company of geniuses AutoTram decided that the bus will have a reserve of only 2 km, it is enough just to get from stop to stop. And during the embarkation and disembarkation of passengers, that is just a couple of minutes of battery life will be completely restored.


The machine does not require deployment of costly infrastructure such as wires for trams and trolleybuses, only charging ports at each stop. The power supply uses a battery with an operating voltage 700 V, the project company is AutoTram together with specialists from the Institute Fraunhofer.
