He stressed that although a number of U.S. companies provide spacecraft for orbital flight, with the support of NASA, but these projects are started solely as a private initiative.

"Elon Musk (Chapter SpaceX) for a long time worked on the Falcon - Dragon (carrier and orbiter for the flight to the ISS) before the Obama administration did not adopt the heroic decision to allocate six billion dollars to support private projects.

Ferrari hybrid engine patents

At the Geneva Motor Show 2010 Italian automaker Ferrari introduced the concept Vettura Laboratorio HY-KERS - the first attempt to create a company car with a hybrid engine.

The concept combines the use of twelve-cylinder V-engine and hybrid system KERS. But now the news is a bit outdated, as the Italians decided to patent his own hybrid engine. The new system will combine a traditional engine and two electric motors: one to serve as their direct responsibilities, and the second - to feed auxiliary systems such as conditioning or strengthening of steering control.

Ferrari engineers are confident that when the second engine, auxiliary engines will not "steal" time from the internal combustion engine during acceleration - a measure that passed to increase performance.

From the Spyker in the Swedish Automobile, then - again in Spyker

Since then, as Spyker Cars - a small and little-known company - bought Saab at General Motors last year, little has happened to her. The biggest event was the change of name to the Swedish Automobile NV After that, Saab received an offer from China's Youngman, and separated from his partner.

As a result, the company of the Swedish Automobile again renamed as Spyker, left to reflect on how much it could cost the company. One thing is clear - it was not worth it to communicate with the loss-making Saab. These perturbations leave little hope that in the near future, the automaker will release some of its luxury sports cars.

The company Youngman, which is one of the largest in China, once offered automaker GM $ 298 million for the purchase of Saab. But the duty of the latter at that time amounted to over two billion, which made the proposal untenable. But after that the Chinese have announced to invest $ 1.8 billion in the development of future models of Saab - an offer difficult to refuse.

The machine is equipped with a much poorer person, the robot from Boston Dynamics has only a couple of feet, shod in sneakers, and upper extremity, which ends with something like a fist. The mechanism relies on the wall and very briskly climbing the ladder in seconds. In slow motion we see that the robot makes mistakes, stumbles, but his work is efficient.

Robot PETMAN differs no less remarkable talent. He walks and runs, but it cleverly keeps the balance. Next to the robot is an operator which is quite sensitive pushes him in the shoulder, PETMAN makes a couple of steps away, but quickly returned to its former route. And for some reason, Boston Dynamics engineers are taught to the robot push-ups on the floor. It seems to become stronger.

Madrid Rio Project - Resort in the city center

An unusual example of a fundamental transformation of urban space, the authors found an art agency The July 16. In the center of attention today, the capital of Spain, Madrid. Unique model of the functioning and development have developed without the clever technology and complex circuits. All that is needed for the successful implementation of the project - children's drawings, made the usual pencils and paints.

His appearance in Madrid Rio Project must, first and foremost children. Back in 2005, the City announced a contest for the best children's picture "of a dream." And kids dream about the most ordinary things: sea, sun, rides and games outdoors. Thus, children with a light hand, in Madrid, began large-scale campaign to reorganize the urban space.

To implement these plans into reality had to invent imaginative moves. For example, to find a huge area, where a fit Disneyland park, and even the beach. Ideal platform was the most lively area of ​​Madrid - the coastal area of ​​the river Manzanares, where day and night noise of the engine is not faded, and hazardous waste have turned the river into the gutter.


As a result, children's drawings became a master plan on total reconstruction of the downtown area. Solutions have been built into a single system and found that the harmless children's drawings helped at once to get rid of a wide range of problems - from environmental to social and economic.

The project started in 2008 with a rather extraordinary step: Madrid was dug under the second city, where all traffic is shifted. Downtown has finally turned into a pedestrian zone with avenues, and the river Manzanares has regained its historical value: in the crystal clear water, swans and ducks, and over the river bridge designers have put 23 on which you can walk, ride bikes, sit on the shops.

But the most ambitious work was developed in the coastal zone. While the adults relax on the beach or walking in the shadow of exotic trees, children frolic on the playground, at 17, the attractions and bathe in the river.

And for the restless thoughtful designers have provided several centers for extreme sports: a set of climbing and the Velodrome. Surprisingly, as a reduction of only two highways has created a full-fledged resort in the heart of the city. On the territory of several parks designers hid three fitness club, a football field, numerous holiday homes and galleries.

Performance of children's desires require considerable financial cost. The total project cost amounted to 485 million euros. But can you talk about the cost of material, when day and night in the river Manzanares does not stop ringing laughter of children?
