The concept of "Elf Air" could ascend vertically into the air

The concept of "Air Elf" is intended to solve the problem of traffic congestion on the roads. The core concept - a new type of wing, "Atmospheric caterpillar." The wing can be transformed, regularly meeting the requirements of flexibility and speed of the aircraft. "Air Elf" not only can be raised from the ground vertically, but also capable of producing a flight at high speed. In addition, Air Elf different aerodynamic shape with a soft, clean and efficient hydrogen energy supply system, a dense framework provided in order to facilitate the cab and leave room for luggage.
Wings' Elf Air "composed of a main structure and a set of small wings. These small wings can move horizontally and communities in order to keep the unit for power lifts. Wings Air Caterpillar can easily be transformed for parking, take-off and landing speed increases.

Futuristic BMW Paris 3,0

In 2048 a new era is coming. At the dawn of the technological singularity, such metropolises like Los Angeles, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Mumbai reached a considerable size, next to which will house luxury island holiday. The futuristic concept car BMW PARIO 3.0 is the result of an ambitious alliance between BMW and Indian Intel-Works. This union between nanotechnology and design, between reality and virtual. He immerses its users in the city on an island in a new futuristic world where joy and pleasure of travel are born anew.

BMW Pario 3,0 allows residents of the metropolis, situated on the beach, move out of town on the island free for the rest. BMW Pario 3,0 - a public transport vehicle of a new era in his spare time and weekends.

This car has a futuristic nano-robots that are able to organize themselves through digital media. This new interface of the future, by which real objects are created in virtual reality first, and then with the help of nanotechnology materialize.

BMW PARIO 3,0 returns the pleasure of the trip, he gives you a new level of driving. Its elegant design is very unusual for public transport vehicles, and travel on it from overflowing emotions becomes an unforgettable experience.

Physicists have come up with the most accurate atomic clock

Scientists from the University of New South Wales proposed a scheme of atomic clocks that are superior in terms of accuracy of modern analogues for several orders of magnitude. A similar scheme in the theory gives an error about one-tenth of a second for 14 billion years. For comparison, the lifetime of the universe - 13.6 billion years old.

The article will appear in the scientific zhurnalePhysical Review Letters, its summary can be found at the university, and the preprint of the paper is available at arXiv.org.

The main facility for the measurement of time, scientists suggest the use of a positive ion of thorium-229. Scientists have found that the magnetic dipole transition in the nucleus (that is, a periodic change of the magnetic state associated with the magnetic moment) in that the ion can be used for timing.

"The atomic clock uses a pendulum as an electron flying around the atomic nucleus. But we were able to show that using lasers, we can orient the electrons around the nucleus so that the pendulum will serve as a neutron in the nucleus" - leads the University of the words of one of the authors of the study of Victor Flambauma.

The physicist also added that thanks to this scheme scientists can achieve high-precision clock. In particular, this is due to the fact that neutrons are less susceptible to external influences than the electrons. Researchers predict that by the scheme at their watches will be able to ensure the accuracy of the timing up to 19 decimal places.

Scientists themselves have said that their hours will allow physicists to conduct experiments with incredible accuracy. Notably, in August 2011 NASA announced three projects in the program receive a Technology Demonstration Missions 175 million dollars to develop. One of the projects were on-board atomic clocks for space needs. In them, as the pendulum would be used mercury ions.

Folding electric city-car Hiroko

At a meeting of the European Union on 24 February this year, the Media Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology unveiled the full version of the emerging urban electric car, the so-called Hiriko.
This machine has brought substantial profit group of automotive designers the Basque region of Spain, but its development was based on the concepts of Media Lab at MIT CityCar (literally "city car").

The car has a new generation of folding landing gear, allowing it to occupy very little space for parking, turning on its axis. There is also full control of servo outputs in the front and rear of the vehicle, wheel robot with an integrated electric motor, track and stop braking.

Media Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology has collaborated with Denokinn, the industrial sponsor of Vitoria (Spain), in order to work out the most profound design and construction Hiriko, to adapt it to future customers.

At first glance, it reminds us of the emerging concept car BRB Evolution, developed by Daniel Bailey, but the design of the new city-car is easier and more convenient for driving. Folding City car Hiriko - a vehicle designed for two passengers, having the ability to fold to reduce the parking area. Also, the development of innovative technology has been used Robot Wheels: wheel robotic modules attached to the four corners of folding landing gear, control electronics, using a servo-drive system. Thus, each robot can be controlled by the wheel itself, which allows for very compact maneuvers that are sure to help you manage the data of the vehicle in the city.

This electric machine also eliminates the traditional elements of the drive, such as transmission, engine running on gasoline, transmission, freeing up space for the folding elements. In the parking space occupied by one regular car, placed three stacked electric Hiriko - and this is a very effective solution to parking problems, especially relevant for today's megacities. Using a lithium-ion batteries last development, the city-car can travel over 100 miles on one charge. Folding Electric Hiriko could be the future of our mobility
providing excellent solutions to problems of the modern movement, especially in metropolitan areas.

Mazda Aurora: extreme efficiency

Everything in this world is changing, the automotive industry, too, can not stand still, but who's to say what will be the car after 40 years in the middle of the XXI century? This question attempted to answer the designer by the name of Ali Jafari (Ali Jafari), he introduced the concept of electric Mazda Aurora.

The concept won a design competition in 2050 Aurora Survivor, which was conducted under the direction of Mazda and the Aurora Solar Vehicle Association. The first company specializing in cars, and the second is solar energy technologies. Therefore, the author and thought about a concept electric car with solar panels. Solar panels cover almost the entire surface of the car body.

Since the concept dates back to 2050, the effectiveness of these items is much higher today, and on a sunny day Mazda Aurora well do without external sources of energy, a lack of sun. In addition, the motor vehicle is powerful enough to accelerate the car to a speed of 150 km / h, however, provided only one seat. Very beautiful work turned out.
