"It's really amazing how inspiring the students have designed and built a race car that also has very good handling, even more given the highly sophisticated technology in it. I salute them."
During these efforts, Forze VI reaches a top speed of 170 Km/h, but it is believed the car was capable of more than that. In theory, the car can speed up to 220 Km/h, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 Km/h in 4 seconds, all with zero carbon footprint. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | FORZE VI | GIZMAG]

The first scooter that can stand upright

A mobility scooter which enables people who use it can stand upright, has been launched and called 'RollerScoot'. This RollerScoot allows those who can not walk to lean into the device and take the weight off his feet.

An inventor from Devon has created a mobility scooter you can stand on. Called RollerScoot (shown) it weighs 26kg. (Picture from: http://dailym.ai/1Fo0kuJ)

They also can sit on it and use it as a scooter as usual. RollerScoot sold for US $ 3,045 was designed by Ian Gray, a Scottish inventor who lives in Devon, and he has spent 25 years working for the disabled and creating inventions to improve the quality of life for those with limited mobility.

The direction and speed of the RollerScoot are controlled by a simple-to-use joystick so there is no need to turn the body or arms, and it has automatic braking. With its twin motors, it is also able to turn on the spot. It can be split into three pieces or folded up and wheeled like a suitcase. (Picture from: http://dailym.ai/1Fo0kuJ)

As reported by the Daily Mail, the RollerScoot weighs 26 kg (57 lbs). And it driven using Lithium-ion twin motors that give a cruising distance of 19 km (12 miles) and a top speed of 6 km/h (4 mph).

The direction and speed are controlled simply by joystick so no need to alter the body or arms, and has an automatic braking.

Is This the Joker's Car in Suicide Squad?

Joker RIDES - Curiosity often follows when a car looks too wild to be real—especially one that steals the spotlight in a major film. Among such creations, the Vaydor G35 stands out as a true head-turner. Originally designed by Matt McEntegart of Carolina Vaydor and built on the Infiniti G35 Coupe platform, this radical kit car gained global fame after its cinematic transformation. For Suicide Squad (2016), Warner Bros commissioned Mike and Team Vetter (MTV Concepts) to build three customized units based on the Vaydor G35 for The Joker’s on-screen ride—turning an already outrageous design into one of the most unforgettable villain cars in movie history.

The Vaydor G35 is not just any ordinary car. It begins life as a 2003-2007 Infiniti G35 Coupe before undergoing a major transformation. Carolina Vaydor, a specialized company, completely revamps the car's exterior, giving it a fresh and aggressive look that makes it appear like an entirely new model. What's interesting, however, is that despite its drastically different appearance, the car's essential structure, including the frame and engine, remains untouched during the modification process. This means that beneath its exotic new exterior, the car is still powered by the same mechanical core.

The modifications carried out by Carolina Vaydor are extensive and meticulous. Parts such as the rear body, bumper, fender, hood, and side roof rails are replaced, while special features like fender vents and Lambo-style doors are added to give the car an even more luxurious and sporty feel. The result is a vehicle that looks unique and fierce, yet retains the integrity of the original G35 Coupe underneath.

Despite the visual similarities and rumors surrounding the Joker's car in Suicide Squad, no official confirmation was made before the movie’s release regarding whether the Vaydor G35 was indeed used. Fans and car enthusiasts alike speculated about its involvement, fueled by sightings during the filming process. As reported by Carscoops in 2015, the final answer would only be known once the movie premiered, but the buzz surrounding the car was undeniable.

On paper, the Vaydor G35 boasts some impressive specifications. It’s powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 280 horsepower, delivering a robust and exciting performance. This power, combined with the custom exhaust system, creates a sound that matches the car's bold appearance, adding to the overall driving experience.

In the world of custom cars, the Vaydor G35 stands out not only for its striking look but also for the craftsmanship that goes into transforming a standard Infiniti G35 Coupe into something extraordinary. It captures the imagination of both moviegoers and car enthusiasts alike, leaving a lasting impression with its fusion of raw power and daring design. *** [EKA [02062015] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CAROLINA VAYDOR | CARSCOOPS | AUTOEVOLUTION | TECHTIMES ]

The Gumpert's special supercar named 'Apollo Enraged'. The German automotive manufacturers have not only managed to hide the figure of Apollo Enraged until one day before the opening of the Geneva Motor Show 2012, but this supercar will also be one of the most exclusive car after Lamborghini Aventador J. Because Apollo Enraged reportedly produced only three units.

The special supercar body built by using materials of aluminum and carbon fiber with Vortex generator. Rear wing and wheel ventilation also comes with a lightweight carbon fiber. In addition to the use of the parts from carbon fiber material, this supercar is also used F1-style airbox, air lift system and the installation of the large diffuser at the rear.

To beautify its body design, the concept of newfangled LED fog lights are also mounted in the front bumper lip. And a set of new aluminum wheels wrapped with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires  also clarify the sporty feel of this supercar. The interior upholstery is covered with leather and given embroidery on the headrests and accompanied by a digital instrument panel with LCD.

Computer chips made almost entirely from wood

As reported by Nature Communications, a study reports reveal that the researchers have found the material on the tree that are useful for the manufacture of computer chips.

The material is Cellulose NanoFibrils or CNF. This organic-based polymer used as the base layer of electronic circuits. The material is typically made by adding water to cellulose-containing materials (usually wood waste, as would be found at paper or lumber mills) then using high-pressure homogenizers, grinders or microfluidizers to rip the wood fibers into much smaller cellulose nanofibers. This results in a gel which is subsequently freeze-dried to remove the water, leaving the long, interconnected nanofibers behind.

Working with the US Department of Agriculture's Forest Products Library, the researchers added an epoxy coating to the CNF. This made the substrate smooth enough for application of the non-CNF circuitry (which makes up only a small part of the total chip), plus it kept the material from expanding or contracting by taking on or releasing moisture.

The scientists hope their new findings could be a solution to the handling of electronic waste. In the United States, as many as 3.2 million tons of electronic waste disposed of each year. By using environmentally friendly materials, electronic waste piles mounting increasingly insurmountable.

According to study leader Prof. Zhenqiang "Jack" Ma, the use of wood for computer chip materials is just two micrometers long and very safe to use. "If this chip is damaged after use, you can throw it in the woods and mushrooms will parse it," said Ma.

With computer chips are made from natural ingredients, is expected to reduce the amount of world's electronic waste.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | GIZMAG]
