HSB Tri-Hybrid Motorcycle

Bikes are long in use, so are the motorbikes. The electric powered motorbikes aren’t new either, but hybrid bikes aren’t common. How about a combination of all the three – I mean a bicycle, motor bike and electric motor.

Well, it’s one-off a kind motorbike we ever came to know about  but one shouldn’t forget that creative genii across the world always strive to create something different… something that others haven’t even thought of. Thomas Bubilek is one of them.

This guy has named his prototype HSB which is an acronym for Hybrid Sports Bicycle and yes, it combines the functioning of traditional bicycle with an electric motor and a 105 cc combustion engine. Presented at 2012 LA Auto Show, the HSB can use any of the three energy sources: human from pedaling, electric power from batteries and power generated by petrol engine. On the top of this, the HSB weighs merely 67 kg.

So far so good. However, considering the fact that the bike weighs a hefty 67 kg, the pedal mechanism seems useless to bring it home in case you run out of electric power and petrol or you need too much juice in your legs for the purpose. So for me, it’s clearly a hybrid bike.

Nevertheless, in order to centralize the mass in a better way, combustion engine is located under the frame, whereas the electric motor is placed in the rear wheel and battery in the front one, creating a wonderful design that meets the eye at a glance. The tri-brid two-wheeler was in the making for a year and half and claims to reach the top speed of 110 km/h (70 mph) when gasoline engine is involved.
Thomas Bubilek is currently looking for an investor and hopes to sell his bike somewhere between $6,000 and $7,000. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | HOWSTUFFWORKS]

Emotion and creativity are closely linked

Music can evoke all kinds of emotions in the hearts of listeners, and in the mind of the composer.

The studies on brain scans of creative artists, who compose music, rap or draw caricatures, indicating deactivation of the brain involved in planning and monitoring behavior. According to researchers, this is a "form of flow" that frees the creative impulse.

The new study of the jazz pianist demonstrated greater deactivation in the region when they were stringing the melody to channel happy emotion, rather than sad or negative emotions.

Improvised on the grim music activate the awards regions in the brain, which reinforce the behaviors that lead to good results. That could mean "the more easily into the happy groove," said Malinda McPherson, chairman of the study.

"This suggests the possibility of a different mechanism of why it can be fun to assemble happy music than sad music."

"The bottom line is, the emotion is important," said Charles Limb, senior author of the studies on the intricacies of neural creativity and was published in Scientific Reports. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | VOA NEWS]
