7 craziest vehicle designs that ever rolled on the streets

Since it was first rolled in the streets, many variants of cars released to the market. Ranging from single-seater models up to large-sized cars such as the dump-truck that can carry heavy goods up to tens of tons.

Indeed, as a means of transportation, these vehicles can not be separated from humans. Even with unlimited creativity, emerged a few cars with the craziest designs that really exist and have or still used until now. Here are 7 vehicles with design craziest ever rolled in the streets.

1. LCC-1-SNO-Train

One of the cars with the most 'crazy' design that ever made is LCC-1 Sno-Train. The LCC (Logistic Cargo Carrier) is US military vehicle that created to cope with the weather in the northern polar region.

This car is made with 6x6 driving system with carrying the machine capable of producing up to 600 hp. Equipped with big tires, the LCC-1 is capable of delivering the US soldiers logistics up to 45 tons each way.

2. Fordson Snow Devil

The snow is a problem for car driver, especially snow-covered roads have a high thickness. To resolve this problem, a group of mechanics in Northern California managed to make the snow conqueror car named Fordson Snow Devil.

By modifying the Fordson tractor engine, the tires also replaced a similar driving drill tool that makes it able to move easily on top of a pile of snow.

3. GAZ-VM

One of Ford classic cars, especially Ford Model B made in the 1930s had become a favorite of the European nobility. But the advent of World War II and thereafter make the Russian automotive manufacturer GAZ presenting an extreme version of this car named GAZ-VM.

Unsparing, cars were released for the purpose of this war comes with the replaceable rear tires into snowmobile which allowed it to move almost in all road conditions from summer to winter full of snow. The car itself is said to have made more than 100 units during the second world war as a vehicle of the important people of Russia.

4. Rolligon Vehicles

Perhaps in your daily life often see truck expedition. Speaking expedition truck, then Alaska has a special variant. Faced with extreme weather and ice hostile terrain, Alaska has a special expedition truck named Rolligon. This vehicle replaces one of the hard rubber tires with rubber tires that can bulldoze the snow surfaces with more agile.

The car itself was successfully created with inspiration taken from the Eskimo's transportation vehicle. With wheels made of an elastic tire, then the ice surface, a pile of stones, and even fallen trees will not hinder the pace of the car.

5. ZIL 49061 Bluebird

One vehicle mainstay of Russia's extreme terrain is ZIL 49061 Bluebird. Car with big tires and 6x6 drive system is able to bulldoze all road conditions.

In addition, this car can also be amphibious so not only can go on land but can also turn into a motor boat when entering into the waters.

6. Tsar Tank

Russia re-enter one representative vehicle in the row of the owner of the most 'crazy' design in the world. This time it is the Tsar Tank which combines the power of tanks with iron wheels and transporters everything for logistical purposes during the first world war.

Has two giant wheel diameter of 27 feet, this vehicle is claimed to carry all the needs of the present war. But unfortunately, the large wheels became an object striking the opponent, so the Tsar Tank was never used in wartime.

7. Mattracks
Requires ambulance for rescue missions in difficult terrain to reach? Mattracks probably could be a solution. The ambulance made by Minnesota-based manufacturer Karlstad is to replace the entire wheel with a drive system similar to conventional tanks.

Remarkably, the drive system is called can be applied in all cars of course with a little adjustment. But with this wheel, then almost any road surface can be passed easily. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | THE RICHEST]

Know the Space Weather

Maybe before, we have to know the difference between weather with climate. According to the science of meteorology and climatology, weather is the state of the air in certain areas with a relatively short time. Meanwhile, the climate is the average weather conditions in a wide area with relatively long time.

Now, we would like to invite you to know the "Space Weather". Space weather becomes very important to understand because of the increasing amount of human dependence on space-based technologies.

Space Weather is a state that shows the activity of the sun, the condition of interplanetary space, magnetosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere, with the sun as the primary mover.

How space weather happens?

Space weather happens all the time. The sun constantly emits electromagnetic radiation and charged particles. Sometimes the intensity is higher when there is a transient phenomenon in the Sun as flares, prominensa, coronal mass ejection (CME), and coronal hole. In addition to coming from the Sun, the charged particles can also be cosmic rays coming from outside the solar system better than our own galaxy or other galaxies.

Illustration of technological infrastructure affected by space weather events. So much of our modern technology is at risk from space weather, including satellites, communications and power grids. Airline passengers flying over the poles and astronauts can also be adversely effected. Studying the causes and effects of space weather can help us to better predict these events and to take precautions to minimize their impacts. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1Lcm4AJ)

What are the effects of dynamics space weather? 
The ratio of 1% expressed positive impact that we can see, namely the creation of the aurora phenomenon. While 99% are negative effects, including: damage to the spacecraft such as satellites and navigation systems, affect the safety of astronauts in space. In the long term will be affect the Earth's climate in the form of an increase in the concentration of ozone in the stratosphere due to the increased intensity of X-ray and EUV at the peak solar activity. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | THE WATCHER]

As quoted from Bless This Stuff on Thursday, June 11, 2015, Designers Kyuho Song and Boa Oh have developed the brilliant Window Socket, a portable device intended to enable you to use electricity freely and conveniently in a space restricted in the use of electricity, such as a plane, a car, and outdoors.

Simply put, the charger sticks directly to windows and draws solar power to an internal battery, which enables one to either plug small devices into the outlet immediately, or save the stored power for use during nighttime hours.

The designers hope to increase the power to 10000mAh and also add a USB outlet in addition to the standard one. Currently, it can provide up to 10 continuous hours of power on a full charge.

The clever product is currently in concept stage, with the designers looking to improve storage capacity and efficiency, we will keep you posted on future developments. Could it be possible? *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | BLESS THIS STUFF]

Could this technology put a stop to drunk driving?

Drunk indeed be one of the factors causing accidents often occur. For that, were created a tool that can detect levels of excess alcohol on the driver's body. The technology was researched by Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS), it has been uploaded on Youtube. Then, how does it work?

The alcohol detector works in two ways ie the first is a breathalyzer system located either on the steering wheel or the driver’s side door that is capable of detecting alcohol in the air particles around it. This means that even if the driver doesn’t have the foresight to blow into the device, or doesn’t want to, the system will still be able to determine how many drinks he or she has imbibed.

The other method involves a touch sensor mounted either on an ignition button or a gear shift that employs near-infrared tissue spectroscopy to determine the driver’s blood alcohol content. 

Remarkably, these two devices work no more than a second. If the driver's alcohol level above the threshold specified in the United States which is 0.08 percent, the system will disable the car, and driving simply won’t be physically possible. Additional features include programming cars to shut down if the driver is under 21 and has had anything at all to drink.

Meanwhile, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that DADSS is the result of research collaboration between the Automotive Coalition for Traffic Safety (ACTS) which represents 17 vehicle manufacturers and NHTSA.

This research project has been running since 2008. It is expected that the presence of these devices as a driving safety technology, will minimize the number of accidents due to the influence of alcohol. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DIGITAL TRENDS]
