When Kawasaki J-Concept 'flirting' with the Z1000

That's might be a bit of an idea of how to explain the purpose and the idea of a Hungarian designer named Tamás Jakus - while combining the figure of Kawasaki J-Concept with the latest Z1000.

Kawasaki J-Concept itself had horrendous global world of two wheels since it first appeared in the Tokyo Motor Show 2013. The figure is touted as 'alien' is indeed a very radical view yet futuristic. While the latest Z1000 born for the first time with a super radical face after the past few years has not changed massively.

But what happens when both futuristic and radical figure is 'making out' then the result is a look that is very unpredictable, really extreme. Tamás Jakus imagination arising and making very creative motorcycle concept called Kawasaki Z1000 J-Style.

So far the motorcycle concept is just a rendered image. Will the renowned Japanese manufacturers, Kawasaki brought this concept to the reality? So, what do you think? *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | JAKUSA DESIGN]

Renault's latest SUV appears with a unique name

Information of Renault's new SUV models that have been kept secret eventually leaked slowly. Not many details are scattered, but the Renault latest statement says the crossover is named 'Kadjar'.

So what does Kadjar mean? It’s the shoving together of two smaller ‘words’. Kad “is inspired by ‘quad’ – representing an all-terrain four-wheeled vehicle”, says Renault, while jar “recalls the French words ‘agile’ and ‘jaillir’ representing agility and suddenly emerging.
Renault confirmed will continue to provide Kadjar SUV teaser photos via social media ahead of its debut. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1yuA7WF)
As reported by AutoExpress on Monday, January 26, 2015, said that the debut of Renault Kadjar be conducted on February 2, 2015. That's an earlier than scheduled official debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show next March. In Europe, Renault Kadjar will compete with the Nissan Qashqai (X-Trail) and the Mazda CX-5.

The most obvious of Kadjar sightings have been revealed from the spy shot, it's just that the whole body was covered in camouflage. There has been no official pictures yet described using the design evolution of Renault Captur.

Also mentioned, Kadjar is another version of the Nissan Qashqai, for allegedly using the same platform, ie CMF. That is, could be available two choices motion system, two front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Including engine options, diesel and gasoline.
Renault is aiming to repeat the same success it's had with the Captur. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1yuA7WF)

El Ratón Asesino

Custom motorcycle enthusiasts will have heard of the name Marcus Walz? Yes, this man is a world-class builder with the work that is not in doubt.

This time his work taking the base of the Yamaha XV950, a cruiser motocycle figure is turned into a retro shades motorcycle known as café racer. The German-born men who has long been active in the modification successfully spawned a special work called 'El Raton Asesino'.

Walz's first step should be stripped the most of the XV950 innate 'clothes' from the manufacturer. To obtain a form of 'tail wasps' as one of café racer identities - Walz must mutilated sub-frame and completed with a custom swingarm.

Legs, its front fork still rely on stock congenital motor just that there are adjustments - made lower. For the rear suspension entrusted in Ohlins part. While Clip-on model handlebars of LML also be used identity of this man.

LML not only filling handlebars section but also equip all the trinkets in the front-end sector this XV950 café racer. Among the master cylinder and adjustable clutch. 'Tiny' devices of Moto Gadgets entrusted as engine speed indicator. Exhaust sector carries the part of SC-project.
Finally, the round headlamp with 'mini' windscreen shell also reinforces the classic character of this café racer. Metallic light blue color cast beautiful chime with simple graphic style of the old Yamaha sport bike. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | YAMAHA]

What happens if the Moon were destroyed?

According to astronomers, the Moon was in danger by the asteroid collision that could make it crumble. But what if turn out the human themselves who want to destroy the Moon? For whatever reason, it might be going to be a reality in the future.
So what happens if we or even the collision of asteroids are actually able to destroyed the Moon?
To destroy the Moon, we need at least as much as 30 trillion megatons of TNT. It's terrible amount of explosives isn't it? But even with the amount of TNT as it is, the Moon still not be destroyed in a super small pieces. Still in a large chunk of the rest of the explosion remains to be gathered in the Moon 'region' because its gravity.

Our Earth be like the Saturn
Yes, if the Moon were destroyed until the pieces are small enough. Then the fragments will be attracted by the Earth's gravity and rotation of Earth that will make the Moon flakes forming rings like Saturn's rings.

Our Earth becomes vulnerable to attack
Every day, meteors and asteroids wandering around the Earth and the Moon. And since immemorial time the Moon has protected us from the celestial bodies, like asteroids or meteors.

Large and small asteroids that could have lead to the Earth will be retained after they hit the Moon first, Therefore, as we know that in the Moon is so many craters which made by the collision of celestial bodies.

Ocean disturbed
Since a long time ago, Moon's gravity assist Our Earth formed their own lives. One is the Ocean and the Pole. Thanks to the Moon, the North and South Pole slowly formed and help balance the Earth's temperature.

And thanks to the Moon also, the ocean is wavy. These waves are vital to life on the seabed. The waves that form currents in the ocean will bring a source of food and seeds of living things in seabed.

If all of this is interrupted, then the apocalypse just a matter of time for the living creatures on the land.

The Earth's Orbit and Rotation becomes chaotic
The Moon itself act as a counterweight movement of the Earth's orbit and rotation. Earth's orbit around the Sun will be disturbed and become unstable, the effect was our planet can be bounced away from the Sun, or fall into the sun.

And then Earth's rotation becomes unstable, be prepared to experience the day-night chaotic cycle which has also resulted in extreme temperatures changes.

So what conclusions can we take? Earth is very dependent on the Moon. So we will not survive if the Moon becomes shattered due to nuclear war head (or another man-made cause) or asteroid collision. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES]

Nuclear fusion is expected to provide cheap energy in the future

The US technology giant company, Lockheed Martin claims will have a fusion reactor within five years. Now scientists from the University of Washington said they also are creating a sustainable nuclear fusion.

As a note, today the nuclear fusion is not entirely safe, but much safer than the fusion reactor that is now used to generate electricity. "Fusion reactors can not explode, no radioactive fuel for the long term and could be a source of unlimited energy," said Thomas Jarboe, a professor of physics at the University of Washington.

"Do not leave the pollution of the earth, no scars, no radioactive waste or greenhouse gases. Basically, nuclear fusion is the ideal energy source, "said Professor Jarboe. But to start the fusion process requires conditions similar to the surface of the sun but in an enclosed space. Once fusion begins, the reactor will produce large amounts of heat to create steam to run turbines and electric generators.

Scientists experimented with several methods to initiate fusion. One of them is 'tokamak' which is being built in France which will use a powerful magnet to attach a very hot plasma stays in place.
Here’s the tokamak at the JET fusion lab in the UK – a smaller version of the tokamak that will eventually be installed at ITER. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1uMVcJT)
But Professor Jarboe and his team are working on different approaches, which include an electric current to the plasma itself to create a strong magnetic space. "What we found is a way to maintain the electric current is much more efficient than the current method used in tokamaks," said Derek Sunderland, one of the researchers.

Professor Jarboe said the actual size of the reactor building called 'dynomak' requires less material than the tokamak reactor. "It will enable the manufacture of the cheaper reactor because it does not require a lot of walls, and fewer coils that need to be closed," said Thomas Jarboe.
The scientists plan to continue experiments with building larger dynomak reactor that can maintain more efficient plasma flow, and they believe that a sustainable fusion can be achieved in this generation.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | VOA NEWS | EXTREME TECH]

Land Rover Urban Truck concept

British manufacturer Land Rover has recently made the concept of Land Rover Defender Urban Truck Ultimate RS which at first glance looks like a Mercedes-Benz Jeep in terms of models, but it's more cool, with a large capacity engine.

As reported of Carscoops on December 7, 2015, Urban Truck Ultimate RS uses a V8 GM engine with a capacity of 6.2 liter that originally powered only 430 hp increased to 500 hp, and torque reaches 540 Nm. Added also a six-speed electronic gear selector.
