Here's the NextEV, the most ferocious electric supercar of China

The NextEV will enliven the electric-powered supercar competition in the global market. The car made by the Chinese company will be introduced on November 21, 2016 in London, England.

The plan, this ferocious electric powered supercar will go on sale in 2018. And only six units of the NextEV will be sold in the first phase. Before the production version of the car was launched, the manufacturer made a prototype version for testing.

As reported of Motor Authority, the NextEV claimed as a the most powerful electric supercar than its competitors. Its electric motor can generate power equivalent of 1,360 hp. The car's acceleration from 0-100 kilometers per hour may be gobbled up within 3 seconds with a maximum speed of 300 km/h.

The car is manufactured by a Shanghai-based company that also named the same with its products, headed by former president of Ford of Europe Martin Leach. While the company founder is William Li, who is also the owner of BitAuto, one of the largest automotive website in China.

In the development of electric-powered automotive products, the company also participated on the Formula E racing event since 2014 alongside with JAC Motor, one of the largest automotive conglomerate in China.

The NextEV will compete with similar products of its compatriot companies, such as the Beijing Auto, Qiantu Motor, Titan, etc. However another supercars don't have the power up to 1,360 hp. There is a prototype supercar named TechRules A96 whose has the power approaching the Next EV, but the car was not entirely relied on electric power but is assisted by the turbine.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARNEWSCHINA | AUTOCAR | MOTORAUTHORITY]

The latest flavorings device, makes the food taste becomes more palatable

Introducing here's the 'Taste Buddy,' an electronic device designed to help improve the taste and help person's appetite. The researchers from City University London have developed a prototype that can improve the taste of your tongue.

This device consists of a two-centimeter-sized instrument attached to the processing device. By simply placing the device on one's tongue, the device can stimulate appetite and changing the tastes through thermal and electrical signals.

"Something that started as a fun engineering experiment has now led to something much more interesting with the potential to generate a positive impact," said the lead researcher Professor Adrian Cheok, a professor of computing at City University London in a statement.

"The Taste Buddy is a remarkable result of skilled science and engineering that work in conjunction with something fun. And finally the Taste Buddy may ultimately help rescue someone's life, by allowing someone to turn to in a healthy diet that may not fit on the everyone tongues," he added.

Currently, the device only stimulate the sweet or salty tastes. However, the team hope in the near future they can provide a better device and can embrace all the flavors and tastes. They even predict these tools may eventually make taste of a piece of tofu like a steak for example.

This is just a beginning of a big plan belongs Cheok and his team, they estimate this type of technology could be available much in the next 20 years and can be installed throughout everyday appliances, such as cutlery, cups, and cans. Bon appetit..! *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | IFLSCIENCE]

Japan built the world's first typhoon-powered wind turbines in Okinawa

A Japanese engineer named Atsushi Shimizu has created the world's first typhoon-powered wind turbines. This turbine is in the form of an electric generator which is designed to utilize the energy packed into a tropical cyclone.

He said that an array of his generators can supply electricity for Japan up to 50 years straight from a single storm event only. As a note, throughout this year, six hurricanes have struck the country's. Is not this a potential energy source?

"Japan actually has more wind power than solar power, just not utilized," said Shimizu. According to him, Japan has the potential to become a superpower in the wind. Shimizu is the founder of the green energy company named Challenergy and was founded in the year of 2013.

Japan's wind turbines are imported from Europe are not suitable for specific climate of the country. In particular, the wind turbines from Europe have a tendency to be damaged by the typhoon. That is what lies behind the creation of this kind of turbine.

So far, the existing technology does not yet support the turbine to face the cyclone. However, his turbine was designed to overcome the unpredictable the wind patterns and hard blows of wind. This is thanks to omnidirectional axis, as well as adjusted speed of the turbine blades so as not to loose control.

In the company's simulated test, the turbines achieve efficiency levels of 30 percent. That's lower than normal percentage, 40 percent. But once again, normal turbines can not operate in a tropical cyclone. The researchers have installed their first prototype in Okinawa in July 2016. Now, they are awaiting the opportunity to test it with the real hurricane. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CHALLENERGY | INHABITAT | SCIENCE ALERT]

Honda's modern scrambler of Thrive MC

Originally, Honda CB650 released in 1979 as the update model of the Honda CB550, with the engine size increased and to be a Honda mid-size motorcycle model. Because the Honda CB650 has a 100 cc engine capacity smaller than the Honda CB750.

In the 1960s till 1970s, Honda wanted to sell the scrambler variant of their road-going  motorcycle models by using the code of 'CL,' while the road-going by the code of 'CB'. Unfortunately the models is discontinued at the early of 1980s, even though the scrambler models has since become increasingly popular.

This motorcycle project began when Anka, a Honda's local collector and his friend workshop were bought a Honda CB650 and decided to rebuild, because the bike condition has also been modified before. Their intention to buy the bike for their first project.

Then the bike shipped to a  modification workshop named Thrive MC and immediately dismantled as a whole. The modifier team of Thrive Motorcycles decided to build the figure of Honda CL650 based of the Honda CB650 which originally did not offered the scrambler models. As it has been known also that Thrive Motorcycles is one good custom garage because they are very attentive to detail and has a high level of quality. (Look at another Thrive MC bike).

The decision that the bike is built into a modern scrambler motorcycle with the specification of Honda CL, so its original seat, tank, fender, side cover and the exhaust is removed and replaced with new ones. The bike's machine repainted and aligned with the new frame that have been modified. A new set of 4-into-2 exhaust specially made by Thrive Motorcycle, which in the process is not a lot of welding.

The new tank made of an aluminum material, as well as fender, side cover. And its front and rear lights were made and be set as minimum as possible. It also using a new set of wheels and wrapped with slim tires. Once everything are finished, then the bike's look seemed as the perfect bike to spur your guts on the road.

Kept spur your adrenaline on the power of two-wheeled monster and stay alive with the true safety riding. May God will forgive Your sins.... ••• [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | PARJO]
